Notes & Combos
"What archetype are you playing?"
" Yes."
Tech choices:
- Naturia Beast - any P.U.N.K. (or Psychic Wheeleder) + Quillbolt Hedgehog
Mill Quillbolt or discard with a Lv8 P.U.N.K. to get it in rotation with its own SS.
- Shinobi Necro
Banish with Ruler or Snow to SS. Makes easy Lv10 Synchros with Ruler, Lv8 P.U.N.K.s or Orochi.
- Chaos Valkyria
Can help trigger Shinobi Necro, Thunder Dragons or Chengying with its SS. Banish with Ruler to have it send Snow from deck to GY, which will be in effect for the following turn for Masquerena, Chengying banish, or dodging field targeting effects.
- Destrudo
Glass cannon SS. Makes PEP a lot stronger, but can be risky dropping too low in conjunction with the P.U.N.K. combo's burn. Target a Lv5 (Deer Note or Dragondark) to make it SS as a Lv2, to then make Baronne or Chengying.
- Instant Contact + Elemental HERO Dark Neos
Free Lv7 SS to make Baronne or Chengying with any of the myriad Lv3 Tuners in the deck. Also a Dark Warrior, so the unique Type pairs up well with the other variety of Darks to make Curious if needed.
- Small World
Easily one of the best cards. The deck bridges into itself extremely well. My favorite use of it tends to be accessing Dragondark/Roar through it and banishing from hand with Ruler, circumventing the need to mill them. Getting hand traps or fixing up your hand for the matchup after Zombie Vampire gives you information on the opponent's deck is also a nice way to use it. Very flexible card in this list for sure. Also triggers Chengying :)

I'm playing the Field Spell mainly for the SS effect rather than the draw 2. Being able to summon any extra Lv3 for a Synchro, an 8 for an Xyz, or specifically Ogre Dance as Dark-Fiend material for Curious can help fix up your lines or sometimes improve upon them. Usually to draw 2 you need to have it in hand already or SS Wa Gon with Emergency Teleport while already having P.U.N.K. combo in hand.

Outside of bricking sometimes, the deck has felt terrible into backrow. Floodgates like Rivalry and Gozen are worse than usual because the deck has a lot of different Attributes and Types. They might as well act like permanent Evenly Match on our field. Baronne negate isn't always enough so you depend on Cyclone/Duster to hope you can contest the grind.
The deck is pretty much reliant on gambling with your mills, but it can be rewarding when you see what you need. It's very flexible and satisfying to make the boards as you see fit.
