Notes & Combos

Deck could be trimmed down. I keep going between 40-45c. I prefer playing over 40 to not brick on non-engine and to have fewer hands that die to 1 handtrap.

Triple Tactics Talent was the MVP, especially going 2nd. Considering either staying at 2 copies & trimming the deck or adding a 3rd copy to see it more.

If I trim the deck, it might be something like this. Ogre replaces Droll and 2 TTT replaces Crossout and Imperm

Going 2nd:

Just open TTT bro. Jokes aside, some things I do.

I often make Beyond the Pendulum before Electrumite if I have 2 monsters on field before pend summon, especially if the opponent has removal or a negate.

  • You get the search if they only remove her
  • She remains on the field if they only negate her search (Ash) and can still use her destruction eff
  • If they Imperm, then at least it wasn't on Electrumite

VS Stun:

  • Goal is to get Poison with Wisdom/Joker/Stargraph + Time & Stargraph with Iris to destroy the floodgates and outgrind.
  • NS Joker + scaled Poison and attacking is often a 2 for 1.
  • Oafdragon's pend eff to retrieve Wisdom-Eye/Poison/Iris can be very useful.
  • Harmonizing's pend eff boosts Joker/Darkwurm to 1900+ ATK to attack Rai-Oh if you have 1+ magicians in your ED.

VS Centur-Ion and VV:

  • Blazar and ritual Sauravis make these matchups hard because they can negate Pendulum summons. Need to remove them or bait their negate before pend summon. I had a harder time vs VV.
  • TTT to take control of Blazar/Sauravis. Skull can negate.
  • Ogre Centur-ion monsters in the backrow, Radiance/Barrier vs VV
  • Foolish/Shrine Darkwurm, SS Darkwurm from GY, NS Lightwurm to make Supreme King Dragon Clear Wing to bait Phalanx/Blazar.
  • Bagooska with SS Darkwurm + NS non-Harmonizing lvl 4 if they don't have Phalanx/Radiance.
  • TY-PHON if only Blazar remains or if only Sauravis negate remains. Or if all else fails.
  • You can eat the pend summon negate if you can still get 2+ bodies on the field after. Iris and Poison on-destruction effs trigger negated and destroyed by Blazar.

  • Full combo vs Danrfdz. In hindsight, I should have TTT them before making Electrumite.
  • Combo with weak hand vs a.k.aOTK.
