Notes & Combos
Notable Changes From Season 36
Before going into changes, I want to address Mulcharmy. I feel these impact Mathmech less than people say. The exception is the Tenpai matchup since they have space for all "9 Maxx C". The strength of Mulcharmy is that with more copies, you are more likely to win the minigame and force people to end on half-boards. Yet Purulia was barely present in other decks! There's also lines to minimize their impact.
Purulia (Draw 1): Activate Circular to SS from hand. From here you summon Sigma and add Equation. You search Superfactorial with Alemb and then Equation revive to end on Terahertz sending Diameter. Superfactorial + Terahertz, Maxx would never.
Fuwalos (Draw 2): Activate Circular, summon Sigma, add Superfactorial. Summon Alemb from ED, add Diameter and NS Diameter. You can either make I:P for S:P or Heatsoul. Superfactorial + misc, Maxx would never.
Maxx is the common denominator in most losing matchups so nothing really changes. With the above lines in mind I will always hold my Crossout/Called By for Maxx. Less Maxx, more Mulcharmy is a positive change for Mathmech.
Now for the changes: I'm playing all 9 Mulcharmy & 3 Nib because these were the most impactful handtraps to force a halfboard vs the opponent. These perform very well vs giga combo decks like Yubel (Varudras was never seen in-game). Purulia was fine, but since it is matchup dependent (or Upstart) I may cut it when Fiendsmith drops.
You don't really care about opening a Mulcharmy going 1st, you have Packbit at worst, Mining, Small World anyways. On the other hand, your T1 board is strong as well - as long as our going 2nd winrate improves then we can sacrifice a bit of going 1st winrate. When you get hit by Maxx with no out, Mulcharmy are atrocious instead of a real handtrap. That should be the deciding factor for Mulcharmy's impact going 1st imo.
