Notes & Combos
Honestly, I don't have much to add on the deck. Rated duels was a bit more of the same as master rank duels with a bit of more drawn out games since everyone who is in the tier is there for a very good reason.
What I can add though is that despite hating the choice of using majesty's fiend in the deck, it unironically adds a new ceiling for the deck that I didn't even know was possible until I played more games with it.
Majesty's fiend can be played as a point of distraction while also a barrier of security to reestablish control in a game after using your materials to out the enemy board.
During one of my games in rated duels against VSK9 going first, I drew into a horrible hand with tip, shiina, 2 visions, and MST. I used tip to bait out hand traps and immediately got drolled, but chained vision and used MST to recycle the spell and proceeded to draw into flashing fire and mandate which is medicore.
By the end of my opponent's turn, he ended with Caesar Valius, Retaliating C, Rock of the vanquished, along with two other unknowns in the hand against my geri, mst, mandate, and useless shiina in hand. Before end phase I chained MST and mandate to neutralize Retaliating C and on my turn I drew into Majesty's fiend.
By tributing my Geri for the card, I was effectively able to provide myself with the security necessary to draw into extension, reestablish control of a losing game, and go into engine against two interruptions, a floodgate, and two unknowns from the hand. It may not be part of main engine but it can provide the boost that you need to reestablish control in a losing game if needed.
In the end I finished with a winstreak of 7 in rated duels and I could climb higher if I wanted to, but I have errands to run so I'm content with my current placement in rated duels. I still cannot express how happy I am that I got to rated duels for the first time with an archetype that I love. I hope other duelists can try it for themselves and even make their own improvements for the deck.
To my runick bretheren... DUEL ON!!!
