cp-ur 1050 + cp-sr 360
40 cards

Notes & Combos

Pretty easy this time only to Master V with Pure Mitsurugi (and to DLV 19 for the cup - no need to push further), no demotions during the climb. I don't feel like trying for Master I this month, this meta is a bit too oppressive and it's not that fun to play...

I first started with Branded and then with Sky Striker and realized that I suck since don't know where to interact with Artmage, Invoked or any of the new cards... also SS and Branded take SO long to climb and have a small number of handtraps which makes handling elfnote a pain in the ***.

So i went with Mitsurugi since i can bomb the deck with as many handtraps as i like + i can make gorgon as the endboard which is the decks MVP and which singlehandedly won me A LOT of games - mostly against elfnote. Handtraps are mostly made to be good against elfnote: purulia, fydraulis harmonia and ghost ogre are all great against elfnote. Droll is not that good against most decks i faced so i excluded it, Droll kills this deck though.

I would add spark instead of F&V probably but F&V also came in handy against imperm/veiler on my own cards.

PEP came in handy only once...

Final endboard looks like:

  • Gorgon (or IP + Murakumo)
  • Futsu
  • Great Purification
  • Matagama
  • A lot of handtraps/more face downs due to the nature of the deck having a lot of them + due to dugaress

Replays

Last couple of replays are with Mitsurugi during this climb, some cool replays are:

  • A long game against clown crew
  • A game against a massive dracotail board where gorgon with 8000+ ATK finishes the game
  • A game against elfnote under maxx c where they started their turn with 12 cards and couldn't do anything due to Gorgon
