Notes & Combos

Deck is VERY freeform. The deck draws A LOT during your turn. Main combo is Toy Box + Illusion of Chaos. Everything else either helps get to it or extends.

Toy Box is mainly to set and re-set Toys from deck or graveyard, but the battle effect to pop an attacking monster can be used for any dead spells you set or if you have 2nd Toy Soldier to set. Don't forget that the toys can be set manually from hand and then the Toy Box's 2nd effect can pop them.

Forbidden Droplet are mandatory to trigger your toys for free when board breaking, triggering toys on your opponents turn in the event of a weak starting hand, and cleaning up Chicken Game.

Mahad can be stacked and drawn for a generic extra body that increases your draw from Soul Servant, during interrupted turns Rod + any Draw turns into Chaos Angel, Mahad + Normal Ash can be Baronne.

Diabellestar is a generic body extension that can send Toys or leftover Chicken Game to search a 25k board reduction + destruction. Rciela can target Diabellstar Granguignol and Luluwalilith so she can safely be linked away.

Barrier Statue of the Heavens is a solid contingiency plan that can be searched by Toy Soldier if summoned while Toy Box is on field.

Bagooska otherwise is your failsafe if you can keep two level 4 bodies.

Changes to consider, Dark Magician isn't coming up often for the extra draw, since we want to send Dark Magician Girl for Baronne plays instead, could be dropped for another Chicken Game or more interactive cards. If Dragoon ever releases we can give it another thought.

The Dark Magicians are there when I need to unbrick a hand with multiple of the Magician bricks to get the draws live and cycle the hand. If you dont wan't that utility they can be cut for other options like Abyss Dweller, Psychic End Punisher, Dharc the Dark Charmer, etc.

More plays involving different alternative searches of level 4 light options. Statue is just a strong card that can be hard drawn and still impact the game.
