Notes & Combos

New banlist doing some pretty good stuff for Trons, even though Crystal Wing naturally shot up to best deck. My previous list ran 3 Crow and Lancea to have a shot against Orcust. Now I can go back to playing more to the deck's pace rather than preventing the opponent's chances.

5 card Mermail package instead of 3 Scrap Recycler because 1) it's way better to put Link material on the board by Special Summoning and 2) Recycler loses to Crystal Wing and and the more certain thing to negate as the opponent; negating the Teus or Spike is not as clear and puts them in a little more uncomfortable position.

I thought the Infantry tech was cool and provided decent counterplay opportunities. Undine alone forces out Crystal Wing and the game is relatively open to Phoenix -> Unicorn. This came up a handful of times like how I envisioned it to work.

The part of the banlist helping Crystrons that I really overlooked is Impact to unlimited. This deck can finally run Pulse Mines. AKA Inzektron but your opponent loses 1,000 because Cycloning backrow is supposed to be the right play. It doesn't commit going to Inzektron, and I've had duels where I bricked and Normaled any Tron -> set Mines -> pass and my position was fine.

Overall really can't complain about this format. There's still losing matchups to a lot of meta decks but it's still playable to win. I just gotta pray I don't open Majestic lmao.
