Notes & Combos

Yo! Time for another take at bringing the feels back.

IMO, this deck is an oven and is MaxxC-optional. It adds the magician touch to dragon link and makes you feel as if your last name is Moto-Kaiba the IV.

Overall Highlights:

  • Core Turn 1 combo mainly uses Magicians Souls, small world, and Selene. Selene + Pisty is a busted +2 and gives a free Borrelend without locking yourself with rokket tracer. It's not uncommon to end on something not thought of before.
  • This is just the starter version of the deck. Would immediately recommend adding a Kurikara, Baronne de Fleur, and 2nd called-by to start. Swap-out candidates are rites, draw cards, and 3rd red-eyes.
  • There's so many good small world bridges. A dark dragon -> dark magician -> lubellion. Any magician -> red-eyes -> white wyverburster. And finally, any dark dragon -> magician souls -> Kurikara/Gamma to deal with Kashtira.
  • The deck requires good piloting and I'd recommend test rounds in solo mode. Definitely play around and create your menu.

Some Turn 1 combo guidance:

  1. Start off with Magician's souls to pitch soul servant + other spells for draws. You can also save it for pitching Ravine later. Try to bait out their ash/maxxC. Doing it with Gamma is a free win.

  2. The normal summon can be either Magician's rod or a rokket dragon.

  3. Use small world to get your collapse/wyverburster or just 2 dragons to go from striker dragon into romulus. Once tracer is in hand, link into Selene, boot sector launch tracer, and link into pisty for the +2. Make sure to use Selene's eff before the pisty lock.

  4. Then it's off to the races. You can dark magician girl + tracer into Baronne, or just go the usual dragon link endboard. It's pretty much an open book.

Turn 2 Options:

  • Against opponent endboards, a good start is Rod -> Circle -> dark magician -> chaos angel for 2 banishes
  • Once you've stirred up their board, start the line into either Accesscode or the dragon links/synchros. Depending on draws, you can then Darc -> Accesscode and finally Dis pater++ for dessert.

Additional Extenders:

  1. Definitely try out 1 Albaz + Mirrorjade/Alba-Lenatus. Spheres into Albaz is a free win if not interrupted. Lenatus can also give a free magicalized fusion.
  2. I really like grass and a pot of desires, but they can definitely stir up the pot.
  3. I made this F2P because I was short on UR dust, but the ceiling is yours!
