Notes & Combos

A new deck that pretty much plays itself, barely any thinking required for the average ladder match. All the ryzeal ratios are the standard, I choose to run plasma hole despite it being a brick as I value pops that aren't detonator sometimes, as well as the grave effect sometimes coming up. Lines with ns ice starter should go through banshee and leave you with a live cross, duo, deto and a plug-in/plasma hole set on the field at the very minimum. Any lines starting with ext should ideally end you on starliege, duo and an additional rank 4 which should be either deto or bagooska, personally only made the latter when i knew i was playing into something like tenpai or the mirror, can help you avoid playing into talents to an extent as well. If you open going first with only sword as a starter and open charmies, i think it is better to just pass and try and resolve your handtraps on the opponent's turn. As for the non engine, most of it I feel is pretty standard, talents is generally pretty good this format, purulia pressures ryzeal somewhat more heavily than fuwalos, and even in a non ryzeal matchup purulia will at the very least replace itself. Droll is generally a blow out for the mirror, not very effective against maliss but does help to stop them just drawing into potential extenders and non engine, which has sometimes contributed towards wins. Lancea is still in the deck, maliss has gone nowhere which i believe is reason enough for it to stay in, not to mention it is searchable. No need for ascension, all you do is play into droll before even starting any plays, and frankly i believe you already have enough consistency with 1x bonfire and 3x 7achyon. Other than that, the backrow hate is just me being too lazy to play past backrow interruption, but I did get quite a lot of use out of them on my climb. Extra deck is just standard, I've really only used 105 as a search target to extend past heavy interruptions but that is rarely, still feel it can be worth the slot. Only ever made typhon off plasma hole, has saved me a few times if i have ever gotten board broken. Don't really have any replays to showcase, the most impressive thing during gameplay was probably the various ways my opponents misplayed but i could probably fish some things out if anyone asks.
