Notes & Combos

Probably the better way to run Eldlich is to go all in on the floodgates. But this deck has a surprising amount of gas and synergy, especially as a way to keep your own graveyard full of resources while annihilating your opponent.

First, the main philosophy of this deck is to get transaction rollback and your eldlich cards in the graveyard. Thanks to transaction rollback filling your grave gives you tons of interruptions and eldlich gives you tons of engine. We have several ways to fill our graveyard.

a) Grass (obviously) can instantly get 20+ cards in grave. Between thrust and lord you can get grass pretty consistently. Thrust is great going 2nd since you can also grab evenly matched, which plenty of decks (Despia and Snake Eyes) are very vulnerable to, usually only having one out (brightest or betrayal) that they don't even set up that often.

b) Nadir servant. Going 2nd you can obviously send N'tss or malong making it a nice little board breaker, but going 1st you can send kit to dump 5 in grave, which can get good advantage.

c) Fiend Comedian. I always try to hold onto it until it potentially acts as an interruption, which can be game winning on its own vs snake eyes, despia, or tear. Even vs Lab believe it or not. But you don't really care if you call the coin flip wrong because by the time you use it, calling the coin flip wrong usually means you get to send 10-15 to grave. At best you vaporize your opponent's graveyard, at worst you basically resolve grass lmao. Plus if you hit transaction rollback you can just try again (more likely you would torrential, evenly or karma cannon, which is a whole extra interruption that turn for free, in addition to more resources for followup)!

d) Foolish burial goods is a way to cheat out transaction rollback

I would consider switching el dorado for power sink stone or cursed eldland, it didn't really come up in my duels.

This is a fun deck and shows how powerful transaction rollback can be! I tried some versions of this deck with the adventure engine, diabelstar engine, even a slifer engine. I ended up just going for this that focuses more on general Eldlich engine, recoverability, plus called by because there is always a good called by target, from ash on your grass to the snake eyes dragon to a branded banishment target.
