Notes & Combos
We play a runick deck so we play 19 of them, including terraforming, and even the bad ones because we need different name runick spells to synchro climb; of course you don't go dispelling against tear. Similar to TCG ratios where they have 3 tips and play 2 fountains, 3 tips + 2 fountains = 2 tips + 2 fountains + terraforming.
Kurikara because the deck has a hard time removing bodies, and because the bad runicks we play because of limitations can not do more than bait some interrupts. Also, this card is still usable if you draw it later in the turn with fountain. We could play evenly in this spot for when going second, but most of the time we won't have a battle phase, and it implies to not use any runick to bait; we play 19 of them.
Reasoning was in the place of imperm, because you want your runick engine going, but it also happens to make you lose benedictions, so important for the naturia engine, so i cut it.
We don't play shufflers, because a lot of the time we were ending up having too much discards, and had to normal them to make them live. A good tear player will win anyway most of the time, and they tend to make the runick engine weaker, drawing them and then having to find a way to discard them, instead of interrupting opp with runicks. Also we would have to play less runicks or less going second spots, which is not viable in my eyes.
-> Tear matchup is GHETTO, obviously you want to
- avoid them milling to their shufflers at all costs
- banish kaleido or kit with chegying the fastest way
- get to DWELLER
- if they get the shufflers, hope to have the naturia engine w/ sunflower or just camelia which specials from grave to bait them, keeping in mind they only have 5 of them.
Landoise came up once, cost is too high + can be chainlocked. I would play dugares, barkion or exciton in this spot. Diabolantis did not come up a lot, can also be changed for something else, but i liked to be in position to get to mole cricket even if camelia gets ashed (make geri, 4+4=8 - diabolantis foolish cricket) + its a 2500 body.
