Notes & Combos
I was playing pure Vaalmonica until DLv.15, then I realised I had no chance going 2nd against fire meta decks without 1-card starters.
Hence this deck. It's updated from my 2023 Duelist Cup build. Souls engine and Enemy Controller isn't doing much this format, so I switched them out (really late at D.Lv19) for more handtraps. Some things are different, some things are the same in the new build.
- Fenrir & field spell searches the 2-of Scarekash as usual, but in this meta, it's just baiting handtraps.
- Didn't give up on the Adventure engine. Does a lot going first still: free 2 special summons, big negate, handtrap bait, Reichheart draw maker. Not that great going 2nd anymore.
- The Bystials are still putting in work since there's Diabellstar + Called By.
- Monster steals aren't doing enough. Please load up on GY negates to have a chance against Snake-Eye/Fire King.
- No Link Spider. We ball.
Still has its under-Maxx C lines. Sclash put in work this format, not gonna remove it anytime soon.
Replays
Do check out the Scareclaw channel in MD Discord server. Going 1st will win the game easily when there's no Maxx C (I have posted some images of endboards there), so I will only be posting going 2nd replays. Feel free to ask anyone in the channel regarding going 1st endboards.
