Notes & Combos
Fossils Leg3 > KoG in 20 wins give or take. Plat6 > Leg3 was Crusadia in 23 wins before the PvP events then I held off the ladder until today. So sub 50 wins. This deck doesn't need >100 wins to KoG.
Gaia Plate >>>>>>> Granmerg. Yugioh players dont read, they attack into your gaia plate not knowing its effect.
Skull King gets bom'd in 95% of the duels its in, so if you ever do resolve its Reborn effect, discard shell knight off it and SS Gaia Plate from the deck, saves you a turn.
Set 3 bom/crack is more common than you think. Vs odd eyes, set bluffs coz they're ALWAYS gonna have dragonpit.
Dark world dealings is good to draw turn 1 if you get fossil fusion in the trash before using miracle rupture.
This deck easily loses its OTK to a bom/compulse, so why 3 crackdown over the other limit 3 traps? because it does the same thing the oppo just did - lets you survive a turn.
Also if ur questioning why not just run CC over bom, dont, the games matchmaking is rigged and pairs you up instantly with a deck that doesnt care about CC (odd eyes or orcust). Then you switch back to bom and instantly verse backrow decks like D-Heroes or Rokket.
The deck can surprisingly live out long games. I won an 11 turn duel and a 20 turn duel (both vs d-heroes). Or should I say crackdown.dek vs crackdown.dek.
Honestly if i had a 3rd Skull King, id run it over the 2nd Skullgar.
Decode and Phoenix is funny when you crackdown steal their monsters and use them instead. Diamond dire wolf, dunno why they use that.
The 5 duels prior to this was, win vs Orcust (rank up to leg5), lose vs Fossil, win vs Speedroid, win vs Odd Eyes Kozmo, lose vs PK (1. he bom'd skull king. 2. he breaksword/malevolent sin OTK'd me).
