Notes & Combos

• Bricks: Mercourier, Sword
  • I like having the additional unique way in gold sarc due to mercourier to try and force interaction before trying to push more with power spells.
  • Being able to recurr cards like merc or fusion names in grind games was the biggest reason for playing sword. Even drawing it I never felt too far behind since it was eventually giving you value.
  • Opinions you didn't ask for:
    • Golden Swordsoul: This card is cool but bad you're realistically never getting to Omega in the current format & imo this card isn't worth running without Omega.
      • Kitt: Kitt is honestly my favorite brick in the deck since it makes playing into boards much easier due to it reviving Albaz I just dislike the conflict it makes going first on whether or not you should go for the Granguignol line & I like to make my gameplans as simple as possible.
• Extra Deck
  • Pretty standard outside of a few choices:
    • Furious Dragon: I like having the additional pop this card provides & it being able to pop my card and my opponents card was helpful going into grind games as ways to recurr the Saints to my hand. I also did not expect as much DT as there was on the ladder & I would certainly reconsider playing Khaos over it.
    • Mudragon: The only time this card got made was in gamestates where I misplayed & it should have been Secreterion to even out my DT matchup.
• Overall: I really liked this list and being able to punish my opponents like Talents & CBTG really enhanced the playstyle of the deck. There were certainly situations where I missed Crown going into the mirror and against KT but it ultimately got me to my first Master Rank after taking a year or so break from grinding ranked.
