Notes & Combos
Vaalmonica definitely has a lower ceiling than I'd like. But balancing the angel and demon on your shoulders is a fun play style and a clever way to use the Pendulum mechanic, so I really wanted to take it to DLv. Max.
The optimal turn 1 board is Bagooska, set Followed Rhythm, Zebufera to reuse Followed Rhythm, and Voice just 1 counter away from triggering. We're in a format where many tiered decks rely on S:P Little Knight to deal with Bagooska, which means the rest of your interruptions can focus on preventing that.
Going second, you want to steal a monster with Voice, destroy any remaining monsters with Duralume, and OTK by attacking 3 times with her. Those are the only tricks Vaalmonica has on turn 2, hence all the hand traps.
The 1 Ghost Ogre is there out of spite for King's Sarcophagus.
