Notes & Combos

Trickstar with new support and an orcust engine. Orcust helps trickstar play through droll and facilitates negates for the endboard. Bagooska is there for maxx c or as an optional endboard piece. You can also droll yourself into maxx c and just do the orcust line. If you were to cut something to add cymbal skeleton for the orcust package, I would cut the 1 of ogre or lilybell. Lilybell is the worst extender as she has to be searched or recurred from gy to special herself and often times she would be stuck in my hand turn 1. I have also slotted in a bystial engine for extension and grind game.

Your main combo will be candina/light stage + any trickstar extender. This nets you noble angel + blue tear set up + crescendo with a linked galatea + borreload savage with 2 counters. If you have additional extenders after that you can end on IP or reincarnation as well. Light stage is also still a great field spell, non once per turn search while also potentially dealing with a backrow or at least forcing it out.

I had a lot of fun with this variant, it was like my own modern twist on 2019 trickstar orcust. The biggest perk of the new support imo is the ability to see exactly what your opponent is playing with aqua angel, this lets you build your board accordingly and know how to use your interactions optimally. Feel free to comment any questions about the list and don't be afraid to experiment with other engines alongside trickstar as they are very good for putting out bodies.
