Notes & Combos

Floodgate Lab stay winning. This list is a little different from my last one but functionally works the same: choose the best floodgates and traps for the meta and swap out the least impactful ones.

Tech Swaps:

1. Swapped out: -1 Summon Limit (banned), -1 Lady (not necessary), -3 Torrential Tribute (not too impactful), -2 Witch's Strike (not too many VV or pure Centur-ion now).
2. Swapped in: +2 Dimensional Fissure (GY hate), +2 Necrovalley (better GY hate, although slight anti-synergy with Lovely and Big Welcome), 1+ Equation Cannon (just wanted to see it more), +2 Lose 1 Turn (still decent since a lot of the meta decks like building summoning across their and your turn).

Rationale:

1. The biggest choices involved Dimensional Fissure and Necrovalley. This felt good against all of the meta decks running around now. FS, Azamina, White Forest, Tear, etc., all really need their GY to both play and to grind. I had a game where I ran Sphere Mode where I Sphere Mode for 3 monsters, and followed up with Equations Cannon to banish 8 (4 monsters, 4 backrow), and still lost in the grind. You need to kill recursion and follow-up. I did try Different Dimension Ground but it only lasting 1 turn didn't help too much.
2. Lose 1 Turn also helped with slowing down my opponents. It's usually dead if you draw it later but a lot of times if you are grinding in a simplified state, you can win without it. Sometimes, all you need to do is stall.
