Jan 7 2023 BLS Tournament
7th place out of 153 players in the swiss round
Ended: Top 32
After Jan 1 OCG banlist
Cards Highlight :
Vivid Tail + Skill Drain - activating monster effects under skill drain
Labrynth Chandraglier or Labrynth Stovie Torbie discarding Vivid Tail - Vivid Tail immediately after being discarded to the GY can be chained on top of face cards to dodge targeting (e.g. Arianna the Labrynth Servant being targeted by Infinite Impermanence can be bounced back and dodge negation)
Labrynth Archfiend - Beat Obelisk by 400 atk
Cards explained:
No Anti-Spell Fragrance - Figured too many continuous traps and Imperial Iron Wall is better at stopping Runicks
Eradicator Epidemic Virus - Going against Runicks, Sky Striker, Trap Trick and Mirror matchups
Dark Ruler No More - Combo used for Evenly Matched . However, he didn't have enough sleeves to place more Evenly Matched
Different Dimension Ground - Counter Grass and Ishizu decks
Rivalry of Warlords in the side deck - in case Gozen Match and Skill Drain are not enough
Gozen Match - There's a larger pool of multiple attribute decks.
Card of Demise - There are 47 cards in the main deck. Low chance of drawing both Pot of Extravagance & Card of Demise in the first 5/6 draws. High risk but high rewards.
Vivid Tail - Presents more plays than Compulsory Evacuation Device. Recycle cards, control no card Evenly Matched condition, Target avoidance, Skill Drain avoidance, same-turn plays, Labrynth's trigger effect of monster leaving the field (the second effect of Vivid Tail works as well) and works well with the Ishizu milling engine.
Solemn Strike - Combo decks have a higher chance of running just hand traps than Harpie's Feather Duster or Lightning Storm. They are more likely to stop trap plays via monster's negates(e.g Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring, Baronne de Fleur ) than back-row sweeps.
Underworld Goddess of the Closed World - Geomathmech Final Sigma and other similar cards with an unreachable attack or indestructible counter.
Labrynth Archfiend - End game plays, clutch card, board flooding, scalable attack (counter cards like Obelisk the Tormentor). The special summoning condition works with continuous traps.
