Notes & Combos

The doggos did it once again.

Considering everyone now has access to S:P to dodge targeted negateion, for this format I decided to cut the Imperms in order to add even more Maxx C hate in the form of Droll & Lock Bird.

Without any Imperm/Veiler, I feared this deck would struggle more going 2nd into established boards, but this season Droll was surprisingly effective at punishing searches like Bonfire, Hydrant, and even Wanted (which people are activating during the Main Phase now for some reason). Droll, Gamma, and my own Maxx C/Ash were often enough to minimize my opponents' endboards to a point where I could build an easy otk.

With eleven cards to counter Maxx C, I saw some form of out to the cursed roach in my hand almost every match. I must have bricked 1 or 2 times on too many of these handtraps, but even passing on those isn't half bad for at least surviving a turn. People are not respecting Droll or Gamma enough, and this list aims to punish that.

And now that we have S:P, boy does this deck punish. Put her on top of all of the interactions we already set up on top of our deceptively small board, and worst case scenario you're forcing out Battle Phase, best case scenario you deleted so many resources with all those interactions that you win on the spot. The littlest of knights is a huge boost to every deck that can run links for sure, but she's particularly huge for Unchained.
