Notes & Combos

MY GIRLS ARE FINALLY HERE!!!

I spent most of my ladder climb experimenting with different ratios and techs, ultimately deciding that rookiesbarber's tourney list for Quantum Dailies#222 made sense in ladder, too (minus me owning neither Levianeer nor Envoy of the Beginning). Most decks seem to lose outright if they choose not to run non-engine or Veiler and the rest can still be beaten with a little luck.

I like playing Ning solely as an out to Chaos MAX Dragon, but, honestly, the slots that aren't Unicorn and the required Twins (2x Lil-La & 3x Ki-Sikil) could be literally anything

Replay notes:

1. Replay vs Starry Night: I didn't have the MD Evil Twins card in my deck, so I had to find a way to make Avramax, which was the only time I did so in my entire climb
2. Replay vs Salad: Salad feels like a surprisingly even match-up for Live Twin
3. Replay vs Speedroid: This was my last loss before my 9 win streak straight to KoG (I settled on my current list in the middle of this). The takeaway here is that a strong playstyle can still fail to overcome a simple problem of fragility. Live Twin, in its current state, relies almost exlusively on its normal summon, and while most decks in ladder now aren't playing a lot of non-engine (at least the ones I played against), things will only get dicier for Twins until Frost, Treat, and Snitch are added
4. Replay vs BLS: I didn't lose to BLS a single time during my climb, and ending on theoretically 4 pieces of interaction certainly helped me crush this lsat duel and finish my easiest road to KoG yet (my previous fastest KoG took exactly 100 wins with full power Orcust while this took ~80 [my first 60 wins are from absent-mindedly playing with my really really bad Tenyi list just for event items] wins)

Live Twin is the most fun I have ever had playing Duel Links. Never before have I tried so hard to theorycraft my own lists (even if I did end up just following someone else like a sheep), and it feels good. All I can hope for is that Live Twin doesn't see too much play, I don't want the deck to get hit because I would be sad and go D :
