^ Link can be copy/pasted to get around link censoring. For a quick summary: Cyberdark Chimera can be a bridge between most cards in the deck which is why I'm running two copies in this deck.

With Purrely being new and good but with big Noir banned, alongside Cydra's new-ish support and the usual festival cheese like Lyrilusc I figured there would be a fair amount of blind second enjoyers. So as part of my spell lineup I'm running a playset of Small World that can bridge any monster to Smoke Mosquito, which can blank most battle damage for a turn. Fortunately Mosquito can be bridged to from any monster in this deck without any additional spicy techs.

I'm not sold on the utility of Duality so I'm not running it. Without Duality the Galaxy Soldier package is less appealing so I also cut it. I've no idea if that's correct, but since I like running Cyberdarks it was never that appealing to me due to less consistency. And so in the same domino effect I dropped the Cyber Dragon Infinity package. Nova is still technically makeable off Cyber Dragon + Mosquito but that never realistically happened in my experience.

Instead, somewhat rarely I could get a Chimeratech Fortress Dragon on field, which, with a potientially normal summoned Mosquito meant I could go into rank 8 plays. So I included a typical 8-axis line of Dingirsu→Pain Gainer→Seven Sins→Zeus. The Numeron Dragon package might be funnier, especially since Fortress hitting the field probably means their monster zones are all empty. I just prefer Dingirsu since it helps clear backrow and is still summonable under the deck's various Machine locks. Any rank 8 play is still pretty rare, so feel free to drop the XYZes for more ED Cydra copies or Super Poly targets.
