Notes & Combos
I tried a bunch of cards with this deck and was using Red Reboot + Ghost Belle for most of the ladder climb until I hit a wall around M3 and M2. I swapped them out for Kurikara while keeping the deck at around 40 cards opting mostly to prepare for going 2nd and it worked out well. Taia is great for going 2nd and that Baxia spin is super clutch. I have Psychic End Punisher as my flex slot in the ED for certain cards that are difficult to out like Borrelend, Expurrely Noir, etc.
and for all the Swordsoul enjoyers out there...always remember, if MY girlπΈπ₯°π and Mo Ye π€π€© are both drowning π¦π«π and i can only save one πβοΈ1οΈβ£ you can catch me at my girlβs funeral πΏβ οΈβ°οΈ revealing Wyrms in my hand π€£π₯π βοΈ and summoning tokens π₯ TO SYNCHRO INTO CHIXIAO π₯·π AND ADD LONGYUAN TO MY HANDβοΈβοΈ
Replays
479-601-280 I don't have much replays of this deck saved since I only use it to climb ladder, but there's one replay in M2 with the 3 turns.

tried your decklist since i was struggling super hard with kashtira swordsoul and this worked like a charm, peaked at 1 win off matsers :o would love to see more of your replays <3

But you have no way to clean a noir, right? Luckily I'm seeing less Purrely, but when I get played a Noir and I don't have anything in the deck to kill it, I find it very frustrating.

Thank you. I never used Kurikara and I didn't really know how it worked. But how do you use the PEP to get the Noir out?

Sorry for the late reply, but I usually force a spin with Noir before I go into PEP, preferably once Noir no longer has 5 Mats so I can either use its effect to make it unaffected by monster effects, or after Noir no longer has 5 mats I'll try to bounce with Vishuda. These are usually situational though which is why I prefer Kurikara for this.

I understand that frustration, but that's why I started running Kurikara and Psychic End Punisher in the deck. Sleepy Memory will count as a monster effect so you can tribute Noir with Kurikara and if you try to out it with Psychic End Punisher, just make sure you OTK them that turn or you lose.
