Notes & Combos

This KoG climb felt very different from my last one. I had to adjust my list and play more backrow removal than before. That ended up being the biggest factor in a lot of my wins.

My matchups were 2× Accel Road, Black Skull, Galactica, and Voidvelg. The games were slower and more resource-focused, and clearing traps before committing my plays mattered way more than just pushing damage. Once I started respecting backrow instead of playing into it, the climb felt much more controlled.

Overall, this run felt cleaner than my previous KoG. Adapting to what I was actually facing on ladder instead of sticking to an old list made the difference.
