Notes & Combos

Went from Platinum 5 to Master 1 with this deck! I have previously played several different variants of Orcust when the support first came (Fiendsmith, Mitsurugi, PK, etc.) but I have always liked Pure Orcust due to it generally being more consistent while being able to use Dominus Impulse, though it meant a lower ceiling and had trouble with extending plays.

Then came the new DM support which made the deck much better by improving on its weak points. Dark Magician Girl the Magician's Apprentice (DMG) is an extender, and its cost can quite often be beneficial to help dump Orcust cards to the grave. It then searches shining sarcophagus, which helps grab Gandora-G for an extra body or as a boardclear (or any of the related cards if you need discard fodder), and DMG is used to summon Dark Magician of Destruction (DMD) to add Timaeus to hand. DMD can then be used as link fodder and later summoning Red Eyes Dark Dragoon with Timaeus using the DMD in grave.

For this current format, I believe running forbidden droplet is really important as it works really well against most of the meta decks (Just be careful against Yummy when they have Herald out, as it prevents cards from hand being used as cost). Nibiru has only helped me once against a Yummy player, but otherwise has felt lacklustre most of the time so you could consider cutting it out for something else. Other than that, I am happy with all the other cards in this list.
