Notes & Combos

The biggest enemy of Salamangreat is always going 2nd. Depending on the statistic data on ygom.untapped.gg, the winrates of salamangreat are 66.6% and 38% when it go 1st and 2nd respectively in Dimond and Master tier. 38% is even much lower than Stuns（40.5%） or Floowandereeze(44.3%), which makes me struggled. But Tenpai changes everything.

I got 16-3 from D3 to M5 after Tenpai comming, only lost 1 game in this matchup. Salamangreat behaves well in Tenpai meta. Boardbreakers such as Droplet, SPloy and Raigeki cannot hurt Salad at all.

Decklists:

I removed Code of soul and PyroPhoenix package. Somtimes there is nothing can be destoryed in Main Phase if you meet Tenpai. As return, now you can always search Ash by Horse Prince which can negate Kaimen or Paidra.

I also run 3 Solemn Judgment, to counter Duster, Linghting or Red Reboot. It is almost the best card when going 1st.

I cut 1 MaxxC and replace 1 Cosmic Cyclone by 1 Ogre. Ogre is a nice handtrap now and MaxxC is usually bad when you go 1st, no matter whether facing Tenpai or not.

Some tips for playing against Tenpai:

1. Destory Sangen Summoming with your Charge, expecially you set Imperm on the backrow. Without the protect of Summoning, Chundra can be destoryed easily by Princess in Main phase 1.
2. Use Ash to negate Kaimen or Paidra.
3. It is worthy to negate the Normal Summon of Tenpai by Solemn Judgment
