Notes & Combos

Same decklist as M5 but with one major change: Aluber gone for a second cartesia. Cartesia isn't bad to open but it isn't the best, but still having 2 copies is nice. Cutting aluber does hurt extension a bit, but those extension lines were win more anyways, not to mention aluber is a darn brick, especially without striker dragon to link it off.

I wouldn't change a thing about the extra, but if i had a 16th slot it would definitely be striker dragon. Did consider cutting SP as i summoned her the least, however i did summon her once or twice and she is bound to save me a game or 2 eventually. Special shout out to starsource dragon: albaz target, Albion target, and also cartesia target as you play a ton of dragons, turning her into a nuke. It's saved me too many games to where i wish i included it earlier. my favorite use of the card is against tenpai lol as you can fuse off the smaller guys, threatening the chundra, which means its very easy pickings.

Stuntira is painful matchup if you lose the flip and/or they open shifter, same with exodia but to a lesser extent; our deck eats that alive especially if we win the flip. All these inefficient fiendsmith jank decks (including snake eyes btw when they don't open their good cards) got devoured by my bystials, baldrake especially had a field day providing double disruption, and probably your most reliable interruption, as its almost always live. When lacrima comes maybe different story though.

Overall liking the deck like this, aluber is not a terrible card but I already have a key normal summon that is also a tuner 4, so his main utility was extension into Cartesia but, again, that combo was fragile. I'd probably play him in a dlink control variant as that has less normals, more extension, and is in dire need of tuners.
