Notes & Combos

The first 3 replays vs Nekroz de Fleur & Shiranui show variations of what people on the DLM discord are agreeing to be the best Turn 1 for this deck when it doesn't need to rely on Nightingale nor want to autowin a matchup with Super Poly. The idea of the board is to just have enough protection to survive while amassing a ton of resources for a big Turn 3 push.

In the game vs Nekroz de Fleur, I misplayed twice. First, I should've fused off Drosera with the trap. This would've put counters on the incoming Fleur and let Dragostapelia negate it without me using up another card. Second, I should've had Plast protect Sarraceniant, not Drosera, so that Sarraceniant could pop 2 cards. But you'll see my opponent also misplayed by not banishing Plast, so it evened out.

In the 2nd game vs Shiranui, the turn I ended on Phoenix + Unicorn had me on ~10 seconds left on the timer. I could've done a lot more, but I had to just pass and hope they couldn't crack back. You can see the following turn just how much more I could've extended.

The game vs the mirror match was a very good example of board breaking. My opponent should've gotten 2 Sarraceniants in hand to try to survive, but if they had done that (and it would've been telegraphed by the searches), then I could've just pivoted my OTK line. Chimerafflesia would've been Dragostapelia to negate the 2nd Sarraceniant, and I would've fused off the Byblisp at the end. That would've given me 4 attacks with big monsters to get through both his 2nd Sarraceniant and the battle protection from Plast for lethal. Fwiw, doing what I just said was always optimal, but since I knew his entire hand due to his searches, I decided to just mess around knowing I could lethal through 1 Sarraceniant many ways.

The game vs Dogmatika de Fleur shows a Nightingale Turn 1 with an awkward hand. The game was a bit messy, because I was getting tired.
