Notes & Combos
quick notes: You really need to learn the vaalmonica super combo with sele access + scelta/invitare. it's literally 2 cards and lets u get zeb and set followed rhythm.
ex:
sele + invitare:
sele add scelta
invitare add angel put dimonno in ED
angel scale and send scelta to gy
dimonno copy scelta (1 demon)
add disarmonia
disarmonia 1 more demon and add scelta from banishment (total: 2 demon 1 angel)
scelta add 1 more demon counter and add followed rhythm.
do 2 monster fiendsmith combo which ends with making s:p first, then make zeb, and if u have extra materials u also make caesar.
BTW, ryzeal endboard of JUST starliege, duodrive and detonator is cooked by 2 ty-phon over 2 turns (u have to deal with cross/plasma hole if u know they're set).
JUST starliege, duodrive and detonator.
burn their interactions. make ty-phon, bounce duodrive, attack starliege.
their turn: they go to battle phase, detonator atk ur typhone then they make plays
your turn: burn more interactions, make 2nd ty-phon, send back detonator, they're cooked.
BTW my coinflip ratio was biased towards t2 so uh YEAH i might have went insane on stream:
(44%) heads: 7+5+5+11+5+2+11+1=47
(55%) tails: 11+3+7+17+3+5+5+8=59
Also learning the format in the past few days was ***, anyways the question is teching for maliss or ryzeal. The answer is to tech for ryzeal and fight maliss best u can. the proportion of decks was like 25% maliss 25% ryzeal 50% random decks (blue eyes, crystron, ???). just tech for ryzeal + random and u win a majority of the time. All the maliss players reached dlv20 before me anyways and are already fighting in stage 2.
oh yea I also started thursday RIP which meant I had little time for stage 2. Also DONT mald, it's very bad, actually u gotta be calm because a lot of the maliss players are carried by the deck and don't always make allied code talker (or don't have access to him).
re: non engine, purulia literally cooks ryzeal, also is basically an upstart since if they don't normal summon ur opp has no defense.
the 1 ash is there because I hate ash BUT since I'm using purlia I do need extra interactions, droll/imperm are sometimes turn enders so ash is that extra oomph of interaction.
btw duster is nuts, clears out ryzeal backrow and maliss backrow.
