YGOPro is awful for testing competitively I’ve found, almost purely because I can’t go anywhere without seeing “Meta-deck guest starring Zoodiacs”. And testing against that doesn’t do me a whole lotta good considering my deck will be entirely different when Zoodiacs come out.

Anyway, look at this abomination that is doing surprisingly better than the 40 card variant I had. Basically, with 40 cards, I was pretty limited in my combos, mostly relying on opening a combination of Scrap Recycler/Mathematician and then a two card combination that also got out Master Plan to start off my Synchro plays. If I DIDN’T open that specific combination, my plays weren’t very good.

So by making the deck 60 cards, I’ve vastly increased the amount of combos the deck has. Weirdly enough, this had made it more consistent in making A play, as opposed to ‘sometimes’ making my ‘good’ play. The deck is also better for going first as a result, since now I have heaps of options for first turn combos that don’t necessarily rely on the SPYRALs or, similarly, don’t necessarily rely on Mathematician/Recycler.

Vanity’s Fiend and Scolding I only just put in. The logic with Fiend is that it’s a main-deck boss monster and I run so many special summon cards that tribute summoning him is super easy, also tributing Master Plan to summon him is pretty sweet, since Resort + Fiend + Agent on the field means I can keep boosting up Agent each turn with Drone while Vanity’s locks my opponent down. And Scolding’s just a neato trap, I felt like I could need more protection going first, haha.

But yeah, my main problem right now is lack of testing. I’ve been super busy all throughout December, so only get to locals every now and then. I have a YCS in January, which I am super excited for, but I’m going to need to do heaps of testing before I’m satisfied with my deck’s performance and right now I’m just not in a spot to do much testing. After Christmas though, I’m hoping to just regularly meet up with my friends and really put the pedal to metal in terms of testing~

As always, ideas and feedback are appreciated~
