Notes & Combos

Not the best list but it works well enough. You can climb with it.

Too many weak opening hands, mainly because of the Maxx C tax. Like Maxx C tax + the weakest engine cards or all Supreme King cards. I started many games wondering "How TF do I make this hand playable through interruption?"

Main Deck:

  • Can go slightly over 40 cards. I sometimes had 41. Reduces the chance of opening your weakest engine cards like Oafdragon and Gate Zero.
  • 2nd Harmonizing, Purple Poison, 2 Triple Tactics Talent are flex slots.
  • I briefly had a 2nd Lightwurm as the 41st card and it comes up sometimes.
  • Sometimes I ran more handtraps like Imperm, Veiler, Nibiru. I bricked on them too often.
  • Tried Gamma too. Opponents would usually wait for me to have a monster before using monster handtraps.
  • Considering cutting Maxx C because it rarely resolves. I never ran it pre-Supreme King support.
  • I love Purple Poison. I used to play 2-3 copies but I rarely want to open it going first, so now I only run 1. Useful vs Stun and Naturia Beast.

Extra Deck:

  • Previously had Abyss Dweller over Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon. Dweller felt like a win more card.
  • Having Crystal Wing as an extra target to send for Supreme King Gate Magician made comboing much easier.
  • Allows you to save Odd-Eyes Rebellion XYZ Dragon for a 2nd pend summon with Pendulum Evolution.
  • Starving Venom Fusion Dragon is a budget option.

Going 1st: Full combo ends on 2-4 mat Apo, Baronne, Vortex, IP Masquerena, both Pendulumgraphs and Purple Poison Magician scaled. Abyss Dweller too with Pendulum Evolution. I play pretty safe. Always making 2 mat pre-pend Apo or Baronne before my 5th summon whenever possible.

Make Bagooska if opponent Maxx C's. Add Time Pendulumgraph + Purple Poison if possible.

Going 2nd: It's tough against meta but these are the deck's tools:

  • Beyond the Pendulum, Triple Tactics Talent, Purple Poison Magician
  • Baronne, SP Little Knight, Accesscode Talker
  • Supreme King Dragon Clear Wing
  • Odd-Eyes Vortex Dragon's bounce effect
  • Odd-Eyes Rebellion XYZ Dragon
  • Starving Venom copying Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon's effect after sending Crystal Wing to the GY to summon Gate Magician from hand
  • Starving Venom giving your monsters piercing damage.
  • Bagooska occasionally vs decks or boards with no link monsters.
  • You could also just load up on handtraps to avoid playing through big boards but it can be bricky.

Replays

ID: 002-019-149

Only one replay. The most recent WCS Qualifier game vs Ash icon. Full combo ending on 2 mat Apo, Vortex, Baronne, Abyss Dweller, Pendulumgraphs and Purple Poison scaled.

I should have scaled Wisdom-Eye instead of Gate after activating Star Pendulumgraph and popped Gate Zero with Baronne at the end.

The older replays are with pre-Supreme King Pendulum Magicians. The games where I get Maxx C'd going first are still somewhat relevant.
