My first ever climb to KoG!!

Some notes:

I find that twins can get away with a little over 20 cards. Rarely ever bricked!
The Lv.8 boss monster is so clutch for quick victories, and good discard fodder thanks to SS from grave.
I liked the variety of different Limit 3 traps. Terror of the Overroot, in particular, messes with a lot of boards if used right.
The field spell came in handy for the longer grindy games. People sometimes forget about the attack negate, which works really well if you can get them to 1 monster by battle phase.
Book of Moon, Lancea, and Crow are great in the current meta. I may run 2 of each, but 1 felt like enough alongside all the other disruptions.
I've tried other boss monsters alongside the Lv.8 twins, and Alpha is where I've settled. It's often a pretty free 3k atk special summon, non-targeting monster bounce, and potential link fodder (in a pinch)
1 Home & 1 password was another thing I settled on after trying different ratios. It feels sufficient, since I don't like discarding too much or having 2 copies of password in hand. They're still essential (obviously) for searches, extending plays, and starting the combos.
Warning point at 2 helped a lot vs. raidraptors and PK. Halts a lot of other decks from building up too much.

Overall, I'm so happy I managed to reach KoG for the first time with my favorite deck. :) We'll see if it's possible to do it again some day. Replays are from the last 5 game streak.
