Notes & Combos
After exausthing all the other decks I like, it came down to Labrynth once again. This time with a variant I haven't played before. Hand trap Lab but without furnitures.
This list is based on the infamous 4000 player YCSJ Osaka 2024 OCG tournament where the Lab player got 2nd place because they didn't notice an illegal play of thier opponent.
Games went pretty smoothly, with the typical "make one mistake and you lose the duel" tendencies of control decks. I think much more so in this version. You play handtraps instead of more impactful trap cards (like in Trap Heavy Lab) and you also get to see less engine because you play no furnitures. Plus we also lose the ability to fetch any trap with Lady and activate it via Cooclock. So, a lot of times I felt awkward playing this version.
played 15 games from the bottom of Master 3. 80 winrate. Cointoss was very favorable at 11-4, kinda lucky but also the past 150 games I was 45%:55% head-tails ratio. and I also won all games going second.
