Notes & Combos

Relatively quick M5 to M1 climb with kewl tune

some thoughts on why cards are ran and why some cards are missing:

Mourner is a sidegrade veiler that covers the level 3 slot for rotary purposes (shes not a starter unless you very specifically open a ghost girl/reco/cue) but more importantly follows the ocg ruling so it cant miss timing. mourner, unlike veiler, hits turn 0 bombs like nash knight, arthalion, and most crucially RS. she fills the spot that psyframes fill because unlike the psyframes, kewl tune really really really wants handtraps that it can use turn 2. its endboard while fine isn't auto win, the handtraps like veiler like ash like belle and like mourner are what makes the endboard actually insane.

desires is here because we run 3x of every engine piece, we arent scared of banishing a 1x engine requirement. and like mentioned before we really really want handtraps going into turn 2. 90% of the time you want to desires AFTER your combo to try and dig for the handtraps to supplement your endboard. worst case scenario you're forced to desires instantly because your hand is all non engine which leaves you wide open to droll.

fuwa isnt here because i want handtraps that i can use going first, and he doesnt act as an extender like the tuner handtraps, and he doesnt assist rotary in any way, and i just think most of the good decks can put a good enough board under fuwa especially kt itself. its not an auto win or a turn skip like maxx c it just forces a slightly less broken endboard from the opp.

baronne, typhon, and sp are filler. you might have seen some people play visas amritara or mannadium prime heart but truthfully it is all filler. the ed that matters is the kt names + zalen and maybe sp, everything else genuinely just does not matter.

Rosewhip, while a popular card, is not 100% necessary. its not the WORST card since its still a level 3 tuner so rotary can abuse her and cue gets to summon her for free but i value consistency more than anything else. while a floodgate and a powerful one at that its just not necessary, the deck is more than capable of winning going first.

ogre is still under testing. its fine the mirror but is relatively mid all things considered. fuwa, droll, 2nd jj 3rd desires, or imperm can fill her place.

Please do not go cue summon reco add rotary. this just plays into droll for no reason. go cue into rotary instantly and dodge the droll.
