Notes & Combos

This deck is SO much fun. Understanding how to make the most of your hand is thrilling -- as is knowing which fusion to go for in which scenario.

Working backwards from how you're going to achieve your win condition is the key to making KoG with this deck.

For example, against Ra, I know they'll activate blaze cannon to protect it. What are my outs? Goddess is a good one -- so I try to create a situation that lets me get Goddess out in a safe way. If I can do that while avoiding giving him 3 monsters at the end of the turn, I know I'm at an advantage.

Similarly, against Branded, you want to sequence your moves to minimize how much advantage they can generate. For example, if I know they'll have aluber after a Master of Chaos banish, I try to set up the turn so I can attack over it with something else and still get to close the game out that turn (having Eternal Soul or Secrets for instance can help).

Good luck and remember, win or lose, as long as you get better and better with your deck, you're winning the real game!
