Notes & Combos

Used this list for the entire stage one ond duelist cup, stating all the wat down a lv.7

Your best monsters often summon from the hand and GY which is nice against Fualows, and with Nadir Servant being one of your strongest plays, you don't touch your extra deck much. Also you rarely summon enough to get Nibiru'd but even if you do summon to that point, most likely you have your Skull Guardian out bu that point so you just negate.

You have a lot of consistancy with Pre-Prep and Pot of E, so it felt very rare that I bricked.

While your Boss Monster is Skull Guardian, don't under-estimate the power of both Sauravis cards. Jumping out of the deck with a special summon negate that can then be used as a hand trap is pretty amazing, and once I was regularly geting used to recognizing the hands that could do that, I felt really confident in my play.

I generally set up Radiance with Lo's effect to have the destruction effect live on opp's turn for True Light, but Blessing's ritual summon is also very good, but felt more situational, and at the lower levels I was catching people not reading Barrier and trying to go straight to battle phase to swing over Lo.

Pay attention to your opp choosing to go second, and in that case do your best to get Pendulumgraph Dragon out to float into Meteorburst. It doesn't auto-beat the Tenpai matchup depending on how early you end up having to go into it be it does force them to have one more out.

I wish I had more advice for beating Fiend-Smith but really it's just about knowing the chokepoints and hoping they don't have another one-card combo aleady in hand, and droll will often be enough to leave them on a breakable end board.

One funny thing is that (in Stage 1 at least) I was just letting Feind-Smith players cook, and would try to break the boards even if I knew I didn't have the gas, because at least a few times I got them to time out because I was forcing out all 6 or whatever interactions that had put out lol.

Most important stuff the Extra Deck is the Nadir/Diviner sends, I'm Pretty sure I did not summon Angel, Baronne, or Apollousa a single time all climb. I would probably add one more N'tss if I had the UR gems for it haha.
