Notes & Combos

The MD Version of my favourite Genesys Deck! It is by no means particularly powerful, but the strongest and weakest archetypes in the game do mesh well together and make for a decently strong deck, good enough for a 9 game winstreak into Level 20!

Synergies:

• All the Tistina monsters are Aqua, meaning they can be used for Kitkallos and Kaleido. This also provides a way to recycle them, which is important
• The 1-card Tistina combo ends on a single Varudras. However, Miasma Dragon, Sentinel and Crystal God if milled off Kitkallos can lead to a board with an additional live Demigod
• If you have Tistina combo and a Havnis or Scheiren in hand, Breath can set them face-down to add Sentinel, which can then pop them and trigger a fusion
• Both archetypes do transition into each other (somewhat)
  • Sentinel can pop a Sulliek which adds Reinoheart and since Tistina doesn't need your normal if you start with the Field Spell, you get a Kitkallos plus Cryme
  • Tear on the other hand can easily make a Dugares, which replaces Abysstrite from the Genesys version, and revive a milled Miasma Dragon, Sentinel of ideally Fallen. Note that this usually doesn't happen, but is neat nonetheless

Issues:

• My single complaint with the deck is that Miasma Dragon's effect, which you use on your opponent's turn as well by detaching it from Varudras most commonly, locks you out of summoning Tearlaments monsters from hand or graveyard. Then Kitkallos, instead of searching another Tear monster gets you Cryme, since she cannot summon them. Most annoying however, Rulkallos and Kaleido do not revive themselves if Varudras detached Miasma Dragon prior in the turn

The List:

• The deck plays a ton of engine, which I love. For non-engine, I prefer cards that are useful going first and second. While you want to go first, a single resolved Baatistina can easily win you games going second. Thus, I play Super Poly and Droplet
  • Super Poly is great this format and since Tearlaments and Tistina require little Extra Deck space, you can run all the relevant targets. If you want, you can switch some out for a train engine or the likes
  • Likewise, the Shufflers, Sentinel, Miasma Dragon if there is a field spell up or the traps are easy discards for Droplet, making it very useful for breaking boards
• The Shufflers in particular are nice additions since Tistina runs out of fuel insanely quickly and they remedy that
  • You can instead run 3 Grief for more consistency
