Notes & Combos

The only change from last month is that I added a Baldrake over the 2nd Lubellion. I decided it's better to have them as handtraps, than as an engine for Regained.

Horus Adventure PK is pretty fun. I added some Bystials again, there are a lot of decks running rampant that get hit by it somewhat, while almost no deck cares about Nibiru. While it barely came up, Branded Regained also pairs nicely with S:P, by banishing a DARK or LIGHT, and then shuffling it away with Regained.

If you are looking for a breakdown of the Horus engine, please read the Introduction to Phantom Knights article. Otherwise, to quickly summarize:

Imsety allows you to send 2 from hand (including itself) to get Sarc and a draw. You play Sarc and get 2 lvl 8s on board (Sarc allows you to send a card from hand to send a Horus card to your GY from the deck). If you have no extenders, you make Zombie Vampire to mill and recur a body to get your engine going, otherwise you can make another level 8 such as Galaxy-Eyes Photon Lord for a monster negate.

The field spell also works as a way to find Imsety. In general, if you open the field spell, it is the same as opening Sarc in terms of card advantage, but if you happen to open a garnet you want to search over the course of a combo (for example, Dracoback), you can shuffle it back to replace it with Imsety, thus you can make up a bit for the loss in card advantage later.

I blame Yurica for PK Sword.
