Notes & Combos

this is the second time in a row i reached m1 using scareclaw also with an extremely smooth climb so maybe scareclaw is just the best engine in the game.

(lost 5 games from m4 to m1, 4 of which were opening 0 hand traps vs Maliss or Ryzeal Mitsu, and 1 was drawing 5 hand craps going first into gem knight)

for the first half of the climb from master 4 I played scareclaw kashtira, and no paradise. ended up cutting scare kash for the paradise because i didnt feel scare kash was worth playng with 2 good draws (fenrir/wraitsoth) for the 1 brick. sadly no room in extra deck for chaos angel, if you really want to put it in you could cut a bao since shes mostly just there to increase the decks cieling (though SP was the least useful, i only summoned her once).

An option to play that makes engraver/tract better starters is fabled raven, Visas amritara in ED, and 1 calarium. this just lets only fiendsmith starters bridge into the visas engine to add baronne/levi to the board if you dont open reich/samsara. problem with this engine is the 1 extra deck slot it takes which this deck cant really afford.

if you havent seen the levilazebul setups basically it takes advantage of both levi and agnumday not having a once per turn on them so you just get to use levi 4 times which is kinda hard to play through. this is just the best engine to set that up. you can do it with primite but this engine is significantly stronger going second, (benefeit of primite is you get to play purge). also normal summon reichheart always beats any 1 hand trap while beryl folds to any 1 hand trap.
