Notes & Combos

proof you can get away with anything at the end of a event

NO CRAFTING PURE GALAXY PHOTON

Except for Pentastag and Papilloperative. Forgot to remove those, technically I got them from legacy packs not crafted, they are N/Rs, and i never summoned either in any duel so it's whatever.

Dark Hole / Forbidden Chalice / Cosmic - all in the swordsoul bundle

Veiler / Ash / Lightning Storm / Tactics / Nib / Imperm / Droplet - all in store bundles

Raigeki / ROTA - solo missions

c62 - the wcq 2024 promotion gave out a free royal rare c62, if you read this after that promotion, rip you (if I had 1 UR craft - it wouldn't be c62 it'd be photon lord, c62 would be 2nd).

Everything else can be gained with 3 Galaxy-Photon SDs (or 2 if you want to craft SRs, but I got all 3 for the purpose of this challenge), and 1 Cipher SD.

Blind second is needed because no photon lord, and no counters to maxx c (if you get maxx c-ed you just need to OTK and pray they don't draw handtraps).

Technically Solflare (link 2) + photon stream + hyper is possible going first, but you hard lose to harpies, just go blind second.

Originally I didn't have stream or hyper, but needed in-archetype ways to bait & out floodgates & negates.

Game plan is to hopefully draw 1 power card (anything from a store bundle) and if not, draw enough cosmic & dark hole to wipe the board.

Surprisingly dark hole & cosmic didn't let me down. One vs fire kings is bad, but 2 dark holes + cosmic usually is enough. (Thankfully most of the Fire King players are in stage 2 already.).

Didn't have Forbidden Chalice originally, but felt like I wasn't drawing enough nonengine, and going above 40 is fine when you aren't playing the Maxx C minigame.

2 Orbital 2 Vanisher, orbital is bad going second since it loses to removal (S:P is everywhere). Don't want to do 3 vanisher since drawing multiple vanishers is death and vanisher + orbital is combo.

No cleric, grind games aren't good without reliable negation, just OTK.

No Number's Last Hope, could've played it, just chose not to. Gives more options for comboing but is a brick.
