Notes & Combos

I didn't face nearly enough mirror matches or other going second OTKs (Numeron, Cyber Dragon, etc) to justify running Smoke Mosquito currently. So I swapped them to Effect Veilers. I should probably run Gamma like other lists, but that's no fun and I have too many bad memories drawing Driver when first learning the deck, so I'll stick with this. Veiler does conflict with Dimension Shifter a bit, since Veiler can't be activated while Shifter is active, but it hasn't been much of an issue for me yet: either Shifter alone is enough to stop the opponent, or I can wait for a monster effect on field and Chain Link 1 Shifter -> CL2 Veiler.

I also have been running into a good amount of Virtual World lately, so I upped D-Shifter from 2 to 3 since it completely stops their Main Deck Monsters from Special Summoning ("...send 1 VW card from Deck to GY, and if you do, SS this card...") . A few still sent multiple Qinglongs to the banish pile which was always funny to watch.

I stole from xDevilx and added Relinquished Anima to my list since having an extra way to retrieve a Kaiju is always nice. Have yet to resolve it, but I like it benchwarming more than Heart-eartH.

I also finally remembered to swap Gameciel for Dogoran #2. I did draw both Dogorans one time, but the same statline didn't end up mattering. Still waiting to see if it'll bite me in the butt, but so far I'm happy with the swap.

Thanks to ggggg for being a softie, I aim to pay it forward. :)
