Notes & Combos

GUESSS WHOOOOOO'SSSSS BACKKKKK BABYYYYY!!!!!

Been about a year since i last logged on. I was scrollin yt on the treadmill and a i saw a deck using mst. yep mst that outdated ahh card that i got in structure decks 8 years ago when i was 10 and discarded away bc i thought twin twisters were better. NOT ANYMORE. AND THEY UNBANNED BROADBULL AND RAT IS BACK? say swear....

I climbed all the way from rookie to master 5 in about 2 days. it was a really easy climb till then. the turn 1 is so dominant its not even funny. its basically an ftk. the only time i lose going first is due to hand traps or custom, truly ******* custom hands. i prolly had a 90% wr going first. as for going second... it was a problem. i did face a bunch of ennea, branded and kt. the hardest to face being kt. ennea was ez claps, i prolly lost to them like 15% of the time i played them. ns rat, xyz climb to boarbrow, 6 mat zeus gg ez ***** u stun andy. branded was definately a lot harder. the grind game was impossible against them going second but going first they could do nothign even with spoly. all the ht's i played helped a lottttt against them and that was honestly the only way to win. if they set up dogma ur cooked unless u can doom eagle effect spam their ecclesia away. As for kt, if we go full combo going first they lose. there is no possible hand they could have that can beat us after full combo (cope they prolly have 1 or 2 combinations of engine/fnv that coudl work) but going second is slightly harder. we can def gain advantage with tactics and vision draws for more engine but zeus is a viable option with how many xyz we run. Luna light doesnt exist ggs go next if u go second with no ht. striker is weird slightly. its possible for them to break us with fnv and linkage dodges but f0 solos and doom eagle shuffle raye is insane. if we go into striker zeus is the play if u can. also recylcle mst to their backrow just to make it easier on urself.

ok now that we have discussed matchups lets talk tech choices. No spoly bc of no space in ed. its simply too tight. No fnv bc it barely produces any card advantage for us. its better to break a half board after hts than it is to break a full board with a single fnv which barely does anythign going second. and for ppl giving cope *** plays like fnv f0 activate krosea in hand or smth like that u gotta be joking. we struggle turn 2 not turn 1 so ht will give us the best chance of stopping opp turn 1. maxx c and fuwa mandatory. stops turns, creates ez half boards etc. droplet is also mandatory imo since its just too good against variance into elfnotes and bigger negate heavy decks like magnets etc. plus chaining it to ur spells and monsters effects dodges opponents mst mandate negate on field target negate etc. talents is talents idk what to tell u. it does everythign but i never wanna draw more than 1. now for the biggest why, droll. see droll is good against kt to stop full boards, good against pure rt, good against striker, good against branded at times, good against elfnotes at times, good against mw at times. even though a lot of these decks can dodge droll theres a hidden reason to use it. and thats... to droll ourselves. now yes i know its sounds. weird but this decks turn 1 is everything. getting roached, fuwad, purud etc is devestating and we get broken easily with the gas the oppenents are playing. however, with a single droll and a rat or 2 rt cards, i can set up f0, drident, and i:p into s:p + non engine in hand. its won me so many games or stalled just enough for a turn 3 push and win. Same reasoning for playing ash instead of quick plays like more rt cards or fnv. need to protect turn 1 from hand traps and also be ok turn 2. I chose against saryuja bc its not good turn 2. id rather have enough tech in ed/main istead of playign barrage and hammerkong and ramram in maindeck like ocg players to have a chance going second. plus saryuja is win more like crazy.

end board is typhically: f0, drident, i:p, mandate, at least 1 mst, fonix/vortex or both in gy/hand, and doom eagle. this answers most of the meta and was essentailly ftk.

I also played a bit of striker rt to get here but it wasnt a complete deck since i didnt have full set of fnv, second lemnis, etc and it didn't contribute that much.

if u have any questions at all send em below or just @me in the masterduel meta discord in radiant typhoon chat
