Notes & Combos

First archievement from a relatively new player :) (started playing last september)

Deck is your usual Rokket build, but the extra deck is spiced up by replacing your usual link suspects with xyzs. If I had them, I would go with a 3rd imperm and maybe a 3rd Sauravis/Final Bringer instead of the two forbidden chalices (which are still pretty good overall). Sauravis is there to prevent your Striker Dragon from getting handtrapped.

Turn 1 endboard is Seal + Savage (1 counter) + Evilswarm Nightmare. Compared to the standard Seal + 3 Borrels the board is generally a bit weaker but there are a few meaningful advantages, such as Nightmare being capable of shutting down synchro/xyz/link decks by itself and being able to play better if Lava Golem'd (single Kaiju and Sphere Mode are generally worse, though). Turn 3 you can link off Seal and Nightmare into Phoenix if they're still on field to make space for a Tracer synchro/xyz summon.

Turn 2 you have more things to bait out your opponent's interactions; you start with Borreload Furious (+ Final Bringer) to clear backrow or destructible problem monsters; do your usual starting combo ending in Phoenix (if there's backrow to clear/need more atk on field), then you go into Savage first to bait negates/gain your own negate and finally you either go for the OTK with Tracer into Raider's Knight into Arc Rebellion (if there's an atk position monster), or clear the remaining monsters with Tracer into Draco Berserker.

Climb went relatively well all things considered (especially considering the meta we're in); Branded Despia is by far the biggest adversary, they always outresource you and they're very consistent in doing so. I found that negating Aluber usually means they don't get their Branded Fusion, so negate it if you can. Tachyon actually feels very manageable assuming you don't brick, same for Beetrooper. Can't say much about Traptrix because I only faced them once in lower DLv and massively bricked my hand going first lol.
