Notes & Combos

Introdcution: Bystial Runick is a grind game control deck by outresourcing your opponent by interrupting your opponent by either decking your opponent out or by OTK after a battle phase skip.

Unique Tech Card Usages and Reasonsings

  • Blazing Cartesia: serves 3 purposes. Recursive tuner, counter hand traps, and interupt opponents. I have seen decks take it out, however; its quick effect servers as a counter hand trap for Hugin. the effect to have Granguignol can make possible plays sending bystials to the graveyard. Lasly, if Granguignol is in the grave or field and your opponent special summons a monster with card effect, you can summon Luluwalilth, which can negate a card on field if a extra deck card leaves the field. It hardly comes up, but this is a another target for Quem if Ecclesia is in the graveyard already.
  • Branded Regained: I have seen many Bystial Runick players only have one copy but I play two copies due to value of recursion. Most my opponents are fixated on destrying Runick Fountain, that the true recursion is Branded Regained. Regained is very verstile and have had many situations where my back row is banished/destroyed, and having the second copy is what keeps me in the game.
  • Duality: MVP of the deck. It's main purpose to do have hugin's effect resolve from opponent's hand traps. Duality is way more, its free draw from recycle cards from the grave and to summon Fabled Unicorn. Unicorn is very managable to use in this deck, esspecially in turn one. (inspired from Josh Schmidt).

Hand Traps:

Hand traps was very difficult to add in this deck for me because I had experience of drawing to many and not being able to have full combo due to being interuppted or not having any one card combos. Bystials also serve as handtraps,so I was not too worried inconsistencies. I chose these handtraps with the mindset of agression to push with my quem and runick combos to syncro climb.

Geri Due to the extra deck being very tight, Geri was played conservatively due to Fountain being limited. Geri can be used to grab fountain if destroyed is a duality target for Fabled Unicorn and could still be put back in the extra deck for next turn if fountain is destroyed again.
