Notes & Combos
First time playing Phantasm Spiral. Had a lot of fun. Reached Dlv Max with this cheaper version without Dominuses, Solemns or Metaverse.
- MST : Lot of continuous spells/traps in the Synchro Cup
- Demise of the Land : Metaverse replacement, Field searcher
- Traptrix Trap Hole, Lost Wind : Budget negates against specials
- Pot of E : Banishes the 6 rare trash Synchros to draw 2. At the beginning I played Gordian Slicer.
Game plan:
- If opened Field/Phantasm traps, stick with Normal monsters and go full disruptions
- Else, you can even have fun with some Synchro Summons:
- Angel + Phantasm Spiral / Token = Glaciasaurus
- Angel + Beryl = Draco Berserker (banish activated effect) / Adamancipator (spell/trap negate if Phantasm in GY)
- Ash + Beryl = Kuibelt (destroy 1), if desperate
- You can even do a Crimson play with Glaciasaurus on field and another 4+8, but it's super greedy (only came up once for me)
Tips and tricks:
- SS the token, or leave monsters in Attack position if you can use Phantasm Spiral Power or Lost Wind to bait and surprise (-ATK) the opp attacking monster
- Don't try to use Lost Wind against a Normal Summoned monster!
- If opponent Maxx C or Fuwalos on Primite Roar, you can choose not to SS
- Don't forget Primite Roar SS from Deck, I sometimes misplayed because they were all in GY already
- People very often forget about Roar's battle protection and GY effect
- MST destroys set Imperm before NS Beryl
- Self tribute Beryl at end of turn if you need Normals only on field
- Choose when to activate Torrential Tribute very carefully, you can completely stop plays (e.g opp seems to have used up his extenders, not many cards in hand, and getting ready for big Synchro Summons) or be too greedy and opp summoned an omni-negate.
- If you used Lordly Lode to do a Synchro play, don't forget you can't activate effects this turn
