Notes & Combos
Finally got here using dad gaming time lol
Personally, I didn't want to play ryzeal because I felt that I wasn't gaining much with the added need of being constantly aware of where I would lock myself in. Ragnaraika on the other hand felt more free flowing, and I definitely needed to enjoy my games to keep playing this meta.
The meta definitely feels more coin flippy than ever before, so I started to just give in and play whatever made me feel happier in this miserable meta (hence the beargram). Even so, some consistent strategies emerged. Tactics was great, Nib was great (people don't even bother to play around it), and the raika package is able to comfortably overload detonator (I have a few games on replay). I started winning more consistently when I leaned into the raika stuff. Belle can hit march hare and plug-in so it was very valuable. I took out the purges since having access to typhon and sp were very important in many games. The torrentials won me so many games by themselves.
Hopefully it gets better next season with some banlists (I know I'm dreaming here), but sometimes I think it's just hunting for those games that feel like Yu-Gi-Oh that keeps me going. Thanks to the traptrix discord for their insightful comments as always.
