Notes & Combos

Arthurian cards finally get to shine in this meta!

Even with Charles banned, the power level of the meta is low.

So Noble Knights fight toe-to-toe with pretty much any deck.

Combining Arthurian with Infernobles (even without Charles) creates:

• More ways to combo through disruption (Angelica, Durendal, Oliver, Turpin, Museum)
• More options to OTK Turn 3 (Small/Big Roland, Durendal)
• More ways to build card advantage (Ogier, Maugis, Ricc)

The game plan Going 1st is to:

1. Send Untils to the GY with either Borz (2 Untils, 1 Gwen) or Ogier (mill 1 Until)
2. Summon Isolde to mill defensive Noble Arms for Artorigus (Destiny and Excaliburn) and other useful GY resources (Gearblade and Sparkles)
3. Artorigus. Pass. (Protected by Destiny, Excaliburn, and potentially Camelot plus Roar, this is usually enough to survive Turn 2)

Example combo routes:

There's multiple ways to play any given hand. Just try to hit all 3 main checkpoints (Untils in GY, Isolde mill, Rank 5 Artorigus)

Medraut + Floating Noble Arm (Ends with Camelot)

Thoughts on tech choices:

Morgan is great in this meta. Since Called By and Crossout are banned, she fulfills their role of protecting Medraut and Borz from Ash/Veiler/Imperm.

Gawayn is amazing at 3x given his compatibility with Roar, Dai, Camelot, etc. This high ratio of special summons creates better hands Going 2nd. Gawayn is also potential Nibiru insurance.

Artorigus at 2x is the optimal ratio when maxing out Roar and Dai (confirmed by AI 😉). Not a terrible hard draw either since it's also Nibiru insurance.

Santa as the Kaiju of choice with Jizukiru banned. Awesome Small World target or bridge.

With Dracoback banned, Synchro Lancelot is back in the ED to help break boards (fetch Arf). And Drystan is back in the Main Deck for his pop.

Link Spider opens up options to play through Nibiru. Which seems super popular this event.
