Notes & Combos

Timelords are a very silly deck and by far my favorite in all of YGO. They're like a SAM turret made out of sugar glass; can and will kill you super hard if you let it, but any light tap sends it cascading into a trillion pieces. A few important things to note:

• It's almost always better to normal summon time maiden as it can tribute itself even if it's effects are negated, you just lose the extra TL search. Having a TL in hand at all times for a free EM discard or emergency IM special summon is supreme. The banish to special summon from deck only works if you don't special summon anything else the full turn so you can't go into any extra deck plays. At the end of the day, though, the choice to normal/special TM mostly just boils down to which of the two between veiler and ddcrow you feel more threatened by.
• The skill locks you out of using any monsters that aren't TLs or TM (***** you time angel, I guess) which means S/Ts are your only hope with stopping your opponent from just chunking you the second your board is open.
• CompEvac can be used on your own Sephylon (if you're using the 2nd skill effect) to dodge removal/negates as his traditional summon method has no OPT. You can also bounce him to get his special from GY/Hand effect twice cause its OPT is soft like a mf.
• Lyriluscs are like a 95/5 or worse matchup against TL. If they get assembled nightingale on field you almost always just lose on the spot. They're very scawy...
• The trickstar link monster doesn't do anything the other extra deck monsters don't also do but better. It's mostly just there cause I dropped it while farming and I found it funny that it does technically work with TLs.
• TL mirrors should be dreaded and avoided, whenever possible.

That's basically everything worth bringing up about the Timelord strategy. I ran rainbow life for a fat minute but that thing is hardcoded to the top of your deck when you have no cards in hand I swear.
