Notes & Combos
Started playing Lab 2 weeks ago. This is a budget build because I do not have enough gems for “Lord of the Heavenly Prison” and the Solemns and “Terrors of the Overroot” and any UR traps that the Heavy Trap builds play.
I learned mostly by watching Joshua Schmidt play this past Duelist Cup. It was a 13 hr VOD and it’s posted on his YouTube. He also played Tenpai but mainly Lab and it is very good content for anyone trying to pick up the deck.

If you want to learn how to play lab you gotta watch g07h4xf00 on YouTube. He's the trap god!

I’ve watched some of his videos. It’s a lot of him going over his replays. I’m sure I would be able to learn a lot but I prefer the raw footage because it captures the good and the bad. Even something like checking the opponent’s graveyard before firing off an interaction shows what you should be wary of in certain matchups - this of course isn’t depicted in replays. But will check him out to see if there’s any potential vods that I may have missed

This is the video that I watched. He just uploaded Day 2 and 3. It’s 19hrs. You just have to skip all the other decks and watch the Lab ones

Some extra notes:
-
Maxx C over Ash from M5 to M2. Had to switch over to Ash because M2 is infested with Tenpai and Maxx C basically does nothing.
-
I don’t run backrow protection but you can cut field spell and maybe 1 Lady for 2 Anti-Spell Fragrance if you’re running into a lot of Tenpai. But field spell and Lady wins the mirror match.
