Notes & Combos

Climb was smooth to M2, had some hiccups there, then adjusted decklist with 6 charmies and turned out to be quite good. Nothing short of fuwa will stop ratpier and every additional draw in the deck can snowball into multiple pushes.

Ash Blossom was cut, one of the biggest advantages the deck has is that it has multiple win conditions into maxx c, and it's time to fully embrace that. I tried droll for a bit and while self-droll is doable and there's a significant amount of striker players in the ladder, I don't think it was performing enough.

Illusion Gate did great, obviously a brick going first but I was never unhappy to see it going 2nd and can also be a thrust target. Branded Retribution can be difficult to bait but it's still good in this matchup.

While I finished the climb with the usual Banshee, she's definitely a flexible spot that can be experimented with, I used S:P for a bit as she has utility, can be an endboard piece and provides more DARK Curious opportunities. Other examples of cards that could go into this slot could be Amethyst, Exciton, Champions of Swordsoul, ZEUS, etc...

Kewl Tune matchup turned out to be a lot easier than antecipated, endless gas and board breakers are really good into them and despite having info on your hand they make the worst decisions because the deck is so unique. People kept using Fydraulis send Packbit which often makes you go plus with snake-eye cards and magician souls.

Post support branded is a rocky matchup and their players never give up. Beware spoly, use your shufflers wisely. Shufflers and Kurikara are your best answers to Dogma Dragon.

I genuinely believe Snake-Eye Rollback pile is currently the strongest tear variant/strategy, whether going 1st or 2nd, and it baffles me how misunderstood and understimated it is.
