Notes & Combos

I didn't really play much this month, and from what i did play it was in the xyz cup. However, swordsoul still pretty easiy got my to master 5, Protos is still broken, and droll is pretty good this format, would have got master 1 if i had time to play.

Protos call dark single handedly makes Yubel unable to play to the game, so you'll win games just off that. Obviously Protos call fire for fire king, and funnily enough protos destruction protection came up against them aswell.

Some thoughts about 43 deckcount: I think it is worth worth going a bit over 40 in this deck, having 15 handtraps makes the math about 57.8% to see 2 in your opening hand, and you really want to be seeing 2 in order to affect most meta decks, 1 usually isn't good enough, unless its obv like maxx c with no answer. Droll sometimes alone has also been impactful, and have been happy to see it in my games. Nib on the other hand i don't think is to great rn, but playing 1 is fine, and its a good crossout target. Playing 43 does decrease your chances of seeing your Maxx C out ( Ash, called by, and Crossout) from approx 57.7% to 54.7%, but cutting 3 handtraps to make your deck 40 would make you go from 15 to 12, which would decrease your chance of seeing 2 handtraps from 57.8 to 47.7%, which to me it's worth seeing the maxx c out 3% less and seeing at least 2 handtraps 10% more.

In addition to stopping your opponent swordsoul really wants to pair it's genearlly Chixiao + Baronne board with some hand traps to really make it an effective endboard.

Everything else is pretty standard, you can play tactics, circle, thrust, all are fine options. I just wanna play the most handtraps that i can.
