Notes & Combos

Finally. Can't say it's easy as I deranked once and stuck in M3 for hours, but with perserverance, we made it again at last!

I wanted to use the build that can cater to both White Forest Fiends and Tenpai Dragon, as those two were the most common for me, but it was hard as they are too different. In the end, I decided to just use high-impact handtraps like Droll. It is good to punish people that Maxx "C" us in their own turn. The rest are Counter Traps so I can either Break Board going second or defend myself from Duster alike going first.

I use the 40-card build again as it feels too crucial to either see Droll or have a good Starter + Counter Trap + Ferret combination. Tried to remove Brute and Sonic which is alright, but definitely make the deck worse against lot of other niche matchups (I think I lost all Labrynth and Anti-Meta matchup). Still, it was a risk I'm willing to take.

Two Alerts are good for Recovery as I feel my Rex often too easy to out, and to make Trap Tricks more versatile. Definitely the most important Dinomorphia Trap after Frenzy and Domain.

Against White Forest, going first will be rough without Droll or Shifter, but still doable to break with the usual Starter + Ferret + Counter Trap combination. The one that makes it hard are their backrows, which may require additional Judgments or Iron Thunder to handle.

Against any Fiendsmith variant, their only out is Lacrima Burn, which is easy to be Lethal. Sometimes I saved my Debunk just in case they crash the Lacrima.

Against Tenpai, just the usual. However, Tenpai Sky Striker is very hard to beat compared to the standard one as they are filled with Board Breakers. Moreover, you have to watch out for Hayate a lot.

I feel like I can optimize this deck more for this meta, but was too lazy to change build since I used it from the start of the climb. But I'm glad that I can made it anyway :)
