Notes & Combos

Fiendsmith Control featuring Magikey! Very consistent with 19 one-card starters and high power 2 card combos with Mafteal and the Primite Cards. Magikey Unlocking solos opposing Fiendsmith Piles, and plenty of room for non-engine. Math says 42/43 cards is optimal, you could play one more non-engine if you liked. Droll is here as a particularly exciting defensive card, as this deck can do all neccessary adding before any special summons, allowing you to use droll to easily power through Maxx C and Fuwa.

I'll include some basic combos below. Something to note, you will have to choose between Caesar and Desirae when going first in most hands. I much prefer Caesar, as it represents more disruptions and also allows you followup, as well as Paradise on your opponent's turn. These combos are obviously for scenarios where you arent interrupted, or don't need to get creative. Worst comes to worst, any way to requiem gets you something.

A quick note on Batosbuster and Maftea; Playing these makes the Magikey World + Lode line a little better, and gets you better combos in wierd hands, but ultimately doesnt feel worth it, as both cards are hard bricks in the opener, and adding Maftea usually costs a piece of non-engine.
