Notes & Combos

Melodious Engine:

The engine is an incredibly strong addition to the deck, making it very easy to play through interruption and increasing the ceiling with only 2 bricks which don't really turn off the engine if you draw them. As well since this deck discards a lot bricks aren't that big of a deal. Overall I think it would be a mistake to not inculde going forward, though it will compete with Fiendsmith when that releases.

Non-Engine:

Going second the deck was good inspite of the lack of non-engine, all it really takes is one non-engine piece to break a lot of lower power boards, as such I only opted to play more high impact cards like DRNM as opposed to a handtrap package. Kurikara and Subversion have been also very solid as searchable breakers are just nice to have.

I was originally playing Gamma and Maxx "C" with Crossout but decided to cut them as I was finding Maxx "C" not very helpful being forced to go first so often and Gamma because people just didn't play into it, until I cut it of course. Ash & Called By are still very necessary however as the only handtraps the deck loses to are Maxx "C" and Shifter.

I've also decided to play the Goods package this time around as unlike the SHS variant this version discards a lot and having good discards just makes it easier to go second. As well TBGL serves double duty as a good Thrust target after getting Maxx "C"'d or Shifter'd.

Extra Deck:

There still is a good amount of room in the extra as the Melodious engine only takes the one slot so I experimented with some options to increase the ceiling due to the Melodious combos giving you more bodies to play with than any of the other combos. These were Tri-Gate Wizard and Firewall + Protectcode Talker, but I personaly found them win more as they already require you to be deep in the combo to come up, and I never found them very useful outside of that, so I've opted to just run Chain Coils and Anima in their place.

Anima's effect never came up, so probably just run Linkuriboh, though either way Anima never came up very much, but it was nice to have. Chain Coils was also whatever, it could probaby also be something else, but I'm not too sure what I'd run in its place. Rest of extra was great, came up constantly.
