This deck has been very consistent and even has a pretty good match up vs Tenpai. Even went on an 8 win steak from M3 to M2.

The Kashtira package helps the deck play through hand traps. Almost every time I summoned a Kash card it ate up an Imperm or Veiler which usually let me go into the Ice Barrier combo uninterrupted. If you don't have any IB starters Kashtira + Maxx C can go into Sprind to send Mirror Mage, Kashtira + Defender can go into Lancea or Kashtira + Ash/Ogre can go into Baronne. They also help Prima Donna get out Spellbreaker.

Good turn 1 endboard is usually Lancea + Gymir/Dragite + Spellbreaker + a Kashtira. I usually only ever summoned Raiho and Defender with Lancea's effect. Vs a GY heavy deck Georgius or Wayne might be better.

This deck is definitely better going 1st but with all the hand traps going 2nd isn't too bad either. Overall very happy with this list and how it stood up to some of the best decks out there.

ICE BARRIER BEST DECK LMAO!!!

Ok that's a lie, but it's definitely fun...when you open a way to wakaushi and not all the bricks. I feel like the SHS engine is pretty underrated these days. Let's you put up an omni/eats hts and does not take up your normal. Worst case you either bagooska pass or risk lancea pass. I wish you can fit more non engine without going too much over 40. I took the list pinned from the ice barrier chat and changed a bit to my liking. Added almiraj and freezing chains as a way to play when you only open mirror mage. I cut crimson dragon and added crocodragon cuz i was missing it a couple times, altho i ended up not summoning it after (of course). Might not be the most optimal changes but it worked for me. The endboard of baronne, lancea plus another synchro 8 or 10 of choice plus spellbreaker and a couple HTs is basically ftk against almost all decks. Hopefully we can make this more consistent in the future.

I was going to do with skull servant but failed, so decided to use my Synchro/Link/Fusion deck, and honestly it worked, tenpai putting me to go first just to be locked out of spells worked in diamond, I tried playing 40 and wanted swap frog and icejade bc this deck dies to 1 interaction if theres no extender that doesnt need icebarriers on field, so i felt these 4 cards helped to maybe bait a trap like the centur-ion one.

the main idea is to get ice mountain and spellbreaker, theres a lot of videos of these combos, you can do even with just revealer.

I also lack some URs bc im broke, trishula the zero dragon is good pls put it in if you have it, 2 ice mountains too, If I had the UR's I would take out either white aura whale, the SR brionac or packbit, these rarely came up but I like packbit for the removal without triggering the "leave field" cards like raye.

Desired Endboard: Fountain, Herald, Croc, Lancea.

Goals: Draw up to 7 cards in one turn (very addictive). Get Lancea out and stun the opponent. Deckout or swing for game.

Pros: Strong against both handtraps and boardbreakers. Imperm on hugin? Summon diva. Imperm on diva? Make sprind. Herald stops nib and the opponent can't activate droll, veiler, ogre and more! Boardbreakers aren't that scary because you usually have an omni paired with the hugin or slumber protections. Lancea can float into trish. It's not just the field, the opponent also has to deal with the runicks and followup on hand. Deck is super consistent.

Cons: This is a neutered version of the TCG/OCG deck. The good runicks are limited here and you also have to beat the maxx c minigame every time. Can't stop the opponent with handtraps and you have no battle phase. Needs a good pilot.

Extra: You can play 3 mirrors but I hate having too many normal summons on hand. I wish I could play more runicks, but only the bad ones are left. Sleipnir, Sp and Gymir were just bad in this deck. I kinda miss Graydle and Trish Zero.

My preferred endboard: Lancea, Gymir Aegerine, and Spellbreaker.

This summons you 2 floodgates on the opponents turn, protects you from destruction or banishment, and keeps opponents off of spells. Gymir Aegerine makes for a more protective endboard. Evenly matched is still dangerous however. If you want to play around that, you can go for Dragite.

Select notes on cards:

Mirror Mage general search priority: Georgious --> Winds --> other depending on situation

If it wasn't UR, I would play old Brionac over new Brionac. Old Brio can get rid of multiple cards, and the discard can be partially bypassed by Revealer.

Hexa - its effect to lower opponents' attack is quite useful at times, so your opponent doesn’t just attack over your floodgates which are around the 2k mark.

Georgious - floodgate ability that is good going first and second (against flamberge/ishizu/spirit of yubel for example).

Winds - A lot of people don’t make the most of this card, but if I have some kind of access to getting mirror mage on the field for its token generating effect, this is my go-to search off of mirror mage’s gy effect. This card can get you exactly the cards you need for specific onboard pieces. I often use it in the mirror mage combo where there will be a level 5 mirror mage and 3 tokens. I tribute 2 of the tokens to get spell breaker and revealer/speaker if I already have revealer in gy. This will get me to a level 10 synchro (with a draw through coral dragon) and a spellbreaker which stops your opponent from activating spells. Good card if you get interrupted and you can just get free bodies from the deck to continue playing. Gy effect is also good for recovery on the crackback.

Spellbreaker - Often special summon this off of winds. Can be a complete turn ender by not letting the opponent use a spell. Usually also bypass the discard through revealers gy effect.

Also, just as a tip: don't always prioritize the draw 4 combo. I see a lot of players do that, including in Youtube videos, but that, in my experience, is too reliant upon the draws and non-engine. It's better to go for a guaranteed stronger boss monsters unless the situation requires that you draw.

Under Maxx C going first, I try to end on a Lancea in as few summons, if possible. The deck can steal wins under Shifter. You just have to play without Mirror Mage's gy effect or discard Mirror Mage before the opponent shifters.

If you have any questions, please let me know. Hope this helps!

Busy month but managed to squeeze enough time to reach DLV Max. This was the first DC post TW ice barriers were legal so it was def a blast to climb with them. ATM I like running 1 belle and ogre over 2 more veilers as veiler's not useful in some situations. I also might drop graydle but thats still up in the air.

Got some good replays this climb. Hope y'all enjoy. :)

Ok fine, it's not. But honestly a very fun deck, or as much fun as you can get floodgating your opp. Just alwasy win coin toss, go first, set up spellbreaker plus lancea and sometimes another 10 plus hts and it's fine kekw. Just pray they are not smart enough to negate/pop normal summon or you opened exactly chains plus georgius/speaker. I was very pleased with the amount of non engine as going second never felt THAT bad. Honestly about as good as some tiered decks going second.

All in all, the game is in a **** state but then again, what else is new
