Fortress.exe

Was struggling to win with Chaos MAX as with previous DCs so I picked up the funny Crowler deck.

Fortress is a fair and balanced card and if you get 1-2 of them out your opponent is in for a rough time.

Why no duel?

  • the duel package is helpful for smaller boards and gives protection from nibiru, the tradeoff is that it can't be used on an empty board, and requires running 2 bricks. since it also requires controlling golem/dark golem and contests with ancient gear fusion, I opted to cut it entirely.

"Tech" Choices:

  1. Megaton Golem + Ancient Gear Golem
  • allows for a double attacking megaton at the cost of running a brick. lets you OTK easier on an empty board, with megaton + tanker being game in most cases. there are lines to OTK without it, but this is just the easiest in my opinion. also plays around nibiru.
  1. kuriphoton + galaxy photon dragon
  • using this over bagooska. if forced to go first, guarentees surivival. if you get interrupted, you were probably losing anyways. can also be used in yubel matchup to saftley clear out yubels under nightmare pain. mostly running this because it was used against me in an ancient gear mirror and I thought it was funny
  1. linguriboh x2
  • yubel is the most popular deck at the moment, with a lot of builds running iblee lock. run 2 for unicorn, but also because they can iblee lock you again after the first one
  1. verte + overload fusion
  • last ditch effort if you're cut off from fusions, can also be accessed through TT thrust

Great list! How often did the kuriphoton come up and do you have any replays where it helped save you?

Not often. I didn’t get forced to go first often and every time I pulled it off it was a non-game. That was most of my games actually, hard to get good replays when they surrender at the start of battlephase.

Actually you can OTK very easily with duel package on empty board, just fusion summon ultimate during main phase and you can hit for 3x4400

Duel’s effect to fusion summon needs your opponent to control a monster

Oh, you're right. Somehow my opponents gave up beforehand so I thought Duel work that way 😅
