Notes & Combos
Initially tried to climb with White Forest Azamina but that deck loses hard to the cards people are already using to beat Snake-Eyes and Yubel and combo took too long to grind with. After crashing from M2 to M5 switched to Tenpai for braindead anti-meta climb and got through ladder with ease
It's Tenpai so not much to say that hasn't been said but best thing about this meta for Tenpai is that nobody running the cards to counter it anymore (D barrier's a lot rarer, SE can't fit Fucho into their ED anymore) so it's easy enough to steal games. Fiendsmith engine provides extra starters with Beatrice into Promethean but is usually just a handtrap magnet to allow Paidra/Kaimen to resolve and occasionally an extra board breaker with Engraver's field effect. Went with Caesar over Desirae cause of the synergy with Bystials. Shifter does conflict with fs so you can drop Shifter for another powerful handtrap like Nib or a boardbreaker but so many instaconcede after Shifter that I didn't want to. Non-engine is always adjustable to personal preference, looking back 3 Bystials felt excessive and would cut Baldrake
