Notes & Combos
Post Branded set Adventure Zoodiac.
This is a going second list, as you can see there are 16 hand traps.
Explanation of handtrap choices:
- D. D. Crow. Good against Branded decks, hit Branded in Red target to negate their play. It can also be used against Tenyi decks to banish their Wyrms or Hanqdon extenders. Alternative: You can run Belle instead, but I think Belle is worse against Branded and that's like the entire reason D. D. Crow is even in this deck.
- Veiler, Imperm. Negates are good in this meta + I run Selene for Accesscode.
- Maxx C, Ash. Master Duel tax.
- Ogre. There are still lots of people adventuring and flundering.
- Dimension Shifter. Straight up ends turns against most meta decks, except Flunder.
Other cards:
- Harpie's Feather Duster, Lightning Storm. Removing backrow is more important than ever, forcing Branded in Red early wins games, in addition to Eldlich and Flunder still terrorizing the ladder.
- Megaclops. If you manage to summon this big boy versus Branded, you won the game 8 times out of 10 (other 2 times Dracoback outs it). *Hint: Pop your own Ramram and summon Chakanine to get 3 XYZs on board.
- Called by. Not all Zoodiacs run Called by, but I think it's important in current meta.
Things that I'm considering:
- Is Droplet even good? Are there any other board breakers that Zoo can run instead? Sometimes it's meh.
- Is it possible to thin the deck to 40-42 cards?
