Notes & Combos

I have to admit Master 1 was somewhat of a grind this time around. I was constantly playing against Voiceless Voice, which is a terrible matchup, and Snake-Eye Fire King players always seemed to open the most custom hands.

The list is pretty much the same as my DLv. MAX deck list, with the exception of Effect Veiler replacing Upstart Goblin and H.A.M.P. This change hinders consistency a bit but I felt like I needed more handtraps against the decks I was facing.

Some notes explaining card choices/ratios:

MAIN DECK
  • 2x Sky Striker Ace - Raye : I would assume that this comes as the biggest surprise in the main deck. I have never ran less than 3x Raye before, but I have to admit after testing it out, it feels correct. The worst hands in Striker are when you open multiple starters and drawing multiple Rayes feels awful. Also, when needing to draw good cards off Engage, Raye is usually the worst card to get off the bonus Engage draw.
  • 2x Cosmic Cyclone - I've loved this card for a while now. Besides the obvious backrow removal, it's great against Snake-Eyes Fire King, Centurion, Tearlaments and the list goes on forever.

I was playing one copy of Cyanos for a while, but I decided to cut him because he is too vulnerable to handtraps.

EXTRA DECK

The extra deck is very straightforward at the moment. I ended up replacing the third copy of Shizuku for Linguriboh to play around a potential Iblee lock. Accesscode is also a reasonable alternative. Personally not a fan of TY-PHON.

I would also like to note something that many people seem to miss, Engage Zero is a Light ''Sky Striker Ace'' monster that works with Linkage for the extra 1000 ATK. Also, for the OTK line, when Roze is in your hand or banished, all you simply have to do is summon Engage Zero instead of Hayate.

(Raye-->Engage Zero-->Linkage-->Kagari-->Linkage)

Engage Zero is definitely underappreciated because a lot of people miss the lines where she comes up.
