Notes & Combos

It's a pile of cards for sure.

Orcust with Snake-Eyes and Cartesia

Here's what they can do for Orcust. You probably have seen Snake-Eyes just turbo into Curious Lightsworn before and we are just doing the same here. Essentially one Snake-Eye Ash gets you to Poplar, search Original and then go Linkuriboh, Snake-Eye Ash effect to summon Flamberge and then link Flamberge and Linkuriboh into Barricadeborg, re-summon Ash and Poplar off Flamberge, turn 1 into Anima and the other re-summon Linkuriboh from GY and then from this position you can go Curious who will typically dump the Harp Horror.

Cartesia being able to fuse into Granguinol is actually full combo as Granguignol can dump Orcust Knightmare. Her fusing also allows you to un-brick your hand if you happen to draw World Wand or other Orcust cards so just use them for the Granguignol material. She bounces back to hand in end phase which fuels your Masquerena/Unicorn spin for discard fodder. Granguignol is then more interrupts being able to summon Despian Luluwalilith if your opponent triggers it.

Branded in High Spirits can also setup Borreload Furious Dragon in GY which did you know has a secret GY effect that you can use in Orcust for more material, you can send Furious off High Spirits or Granguignol if you can afford to.

Basically, do all you can before Dark locking yourself with the Orcust GY effect restrictions, in most scenarios you can even get to an Apollousa before you start doing Orcust things.
