Notes & Combos

Running a Bystial engine in a Tearlaments and Yubel meta feels like playing in Easy mode. I don't think this is the best Deck, it's not even close to Fire King Snake-Eye, but: 1) I'd rather uninstall the game than keep playing Snake-Eye, I can't stand it anymore, 2) Bystials keep the game interactive even going second, which is much more fun than shotgunning Maxx C or Veiler and praying they don't have Call By the Grave.

Tech choices

  • Droll & Lock Bird will (hopefully) cut off one of the opponent's engines from their combo. It's good against Fire King and Tearlaments (if they search a Field Spell with Rainbow Bridge/Trivikarma, they won't be able to add with it), and it does at least something against every Deck. Other valid options I can think of are Gamma, Ghost Ogre and maybe D.D. Crow. I'm not a big fan of Imperm/Veiler as all Decks in the meta have a powerful way to dodge them.
  • Cosmic Cyclone helps you deal with Nightmare Pain since this is a Link Deck with high Attack monsters, the Voiceless Voice cards, Sulliek and, most importantly, the Centur-Ion Field spell. It is also very powerful going first, stopping King's Sarcophagus, Barrier of the Voiceless Voice and Field spell effects.

Engine choices:

  • 1x Collapserpent, I'm not playing LIGHT handtraps, I'd rather play as many Bystials as I can instead.
  • No Levianeer, with Dragon Link's current state, you only search it if you open YouTube videos custom hands, plus I don't have enough LIGHT monsters to take advantage of it going second. If Wyverbuster and Chaos Space are ever put to 3 again, I'll reconsider it
  • 3 Striker Dragons, you need 2 in your main combo if you're playing Dillingerous Dragon, the third one is for grind game.
  • Dillingerous Dragon gives you one extra body to negate with Borrelend to get your Rokket reborn and keep comboing. You don't really want to perma negate a Borreload or a Dis Pater.
  • No Branded Beast to stick to 40 cards, my go-to search with Lubellion is Regained anyway, and Little Knight does the same job but better; I see nothing wrong with also playing Beast if you want.
