Notes & Combos

I don't recommend this deck at all for the festival. The fact that I managed to get a 7-win streak with it was pure luck. This is more just a record of the misery that I went through this event.

I run 2 copies of Lightning Storm, but ironically, that still doesn't out MAX. Thankfully, Blue-Eyes is painfully slow, so you can just tank the damage until you can out it.

I used to run board breakers (Raigeki, Kaijus), but they bricked too much, so I swapped to handtraps to try and stop my opponents from getting to their boss monsters. I also ran Impcantation engine for while, but I dropped it after drawing into the garnets far too many times in an already bricky deck. It's certainly better than pure DM, but I was too tilted to keep using them.

Deck dies against cards that cannot be targeted as two of your only consistent form of interactions with your opponent are Circle and Magician of Chaos, both of which target. This means that Mikanko, Nouvelles, and even Chaos MAX all kill this deck as you're then relying on getting to freaking Master of Chaos to out them.

Against Drytron, you're just praying that turn skip is all they do. This deck does not have an out to Ultimateness.

Also why are VS and R-Ace even in this event? Classic Konami banlist.
