Notes & Combos

Playing best Performapal cards along with the best engine cards in the game. The idea was to cut out what would normally be Pendulum turbo/extender cards, and play powerful engine cards instead.

Joker and Monkeyboard searches each other, and they both search for the high scale, ClassiKuriboh. Any other high scale Performapal can be played. I chose the card for a funny tech against Tenpai (it can end their battlephase).

Usually, Joker or Monkeyboard + an engine starter is full Fiendsmith combo + at least a Baronne. When you don't open Joker/Monkeyboard, you can still do the standard one card combos with the Fiendsmith or Millenium engine starters.

Sample 2.5 Card Combo: Joker + Sangenjin + Non-Pendulum Monster

End Board: 3-mat Apollousa + Baronne +

1. Normal summon Joker, search Monkeyboard.
2. Scale Monkeyboard, use eff to search ClassiKuriboh.
3. Activate Sangenjin, place as cont. spell. Special summon Sangenjin, search Golem.
4. Activate Golem, place as cont. spell. Special summon it, search Wedju Temple.
5. Activate Wedju Temple, use eff to place the monster in hand and Sangenjin from deck on S/T zones.
6. Link Joker and Golem into Beyond the Pendulum. Use Beyond eff to search Odd-Eyes Synchron.
7. Pend summon Joker and Synchron.
8. Link Joker and Beyond into Exceed the Pendulum. Exceed adds back Joker and special summons it.
9. Synchron eff, special summon Monkeyboard from Pend zone and synchro into Entrainment. Train specials Synchron from face-up extra deck. Synchro Train and Synchron into Baronne.
10. Link Sangenjin and Joker into Closed Moon. Link Closed Moon into Requiem. Requiem tribute itself to summon Engraver.
11. Equip Engraver with Requiem from grave.
12. Special Doomed Dragon by sending Requiem and the other monster in S/T zone.
13. Link Engraver and Doomed Dragon into Sequence. Sequence eff to fuse Requiem and Closed Moon in grave into Lacrima. Lacrima specials Engraver from grave.
14. Link Sequence, Exceed, and Engraver into 3-mat Apollousa.
15. Special Engraver from grave by returning Sequence.
16. Xyz summon Caesar.

You can change the sequence of the combo around to make different endboards. I usually try to make a negate as early as possible to play around Nib, then start comboing off.

For example, you can make Photon Lord early with the Millenium engine Or, you can go Monkeyboard > Search Odd-Eyes Synchron > Normal summon it > Eff special summon Monkeyboard, synchro into Entrainment > Eff special summon Odd-Eyes Synchron > Synchro into Baronne.
