Notes & Combos

PREDAPLANT IS BACK !

I got a 17 win streak, but losing it with a missclick.

I really underestimated the skill. The skill grants two interactions in go second, a first for a skill to my knowledge, allowing for even more effective play in Predaplante's specialty: board control. All the new cards are used and are individually strong. The only two issues are that you need to reveal a monster, not two cards, to use the skill, forcing you to play a lot of monsters. The lack of Hydra was not felt, because the meta is not invaded by big boards.

I removed all the spells from Predaplant, as I never had any use for them. However, I kept Predaplanet because any two monsters in your starting hand allow you to search for the two traps. Sarraceniant was reduced to 2 because it is the only card (along with Cobra of course) that is not a one-card combo.

The meta generally has good matchups (thanks to the complete absence of Dweller). BE is a very tough matchup, but definitely not impossible. I surprisingly won a lot of my duels against it, but they were long. I even won with Veiler + Double Nibiru + Majesty. Shinobird is an incredibly easy matchup, as are all Synchro decks, and XYZ decks if there are any in the meta, thanks in particular to the level reduction.

The deck still struggles against S/T decks, but at least it gained an omni-negate. That's why I added as many anti-S/T spells as possible. But while it still has its disadvantage, it also still has the advantage of being virtually unkillable in the battle phase, thanks to the new fusions that reborn repeatedly and Raigeki.

For Linkuriboh, Dryas Sunavalon or Almiraj could work, but Kuriboh has the advantage of being Dark for our fusions. Triphyoverutum is surprisingly a bad card, because when opponent summon from ED, it usually has a card effect that immediately chains afterward, preventing us from negating the summon. Chimerafflesia is useful somes time, but I'm thinking of replacing it with Goddess (yes, I finally got it).

I have a lot of interesting replays, because I didn't play the game of the month since Vaylantz disappointed me quite a bit. I reached Platinum 2 to KOG in 4 afternoons and evenings. I don't have enough space to put everything, so my first 2 replays are a one card and a two card combo, the rest are go second.
