Notes & Combos
Notable Changes From Season 35
Mostly same as S35. -1 Gamma & Armored Bitron -> +1 Delta & Nibiru
I still feel like I should play the 3rd Talents. There's no reason for just 2. Card is broken vs tenpai as mentioned in my S35 decklist.
Matchup Breakdown (67 Duels; 36 Heads, 31 Tails)
Due to Tenpai's influence: 45 1st, 22 2nd
- 15 Tenpai (22.4%, W/R = 80%)
- 6 Gimmick Puppet (9%, W/R = 100%)
- 5 Labrynth (7.5%, W/R = 100%)
Crazy fast climb, definitely a record so far. Usually takes 100 or so duels. Some honorable mentions are Matchmech, Tearlament, Yubel (4 each) and Centur-Ion, Chimera, Kashtira, Sky Striker (3 each).
Gimmick Puppet is an ignorant deck but we do not live in a perfect world with perfect players. It appears to be a difficult deck to pilot efficiently and players don't seem to have much practice with it. I won all my games going 2nd because of this. GP is likely still strong, there's decks like Ritual Beasts that are strong but have a pilot barrier preventing them from getting positive attention.
Tenpai is an easy matchup as usual, but we will see if that changes with Fuwalos and Purulia in the future. This will definitely improve Tenpai's Mathmech matchup in spite of the announced Chundra & Sangen Summoning limits. We should still be favored but I expect our going 1st winrate will decrease noticeably. Maybe we check out Thrust in the future.
