Notes & Combos
This was a fun build. I tinkered a lot with it over the course of the qualifier, but this was the final build that worked best.
Other variants I tried were a Driver/Gamma package instead of Talwar, a slimmer 40 card version without the DPE and extra bait (e.g. sinful spoils & Azamina stuff, Kash), an Imduk/Seals package.
Bagooska was a late add to my deck that I haven't seen in similar lists that could be a great saver when everything goes wrong.
I really wanted to include Apollousa in my list, but I just never had enough bodies on the field consistently to make her. Probably main argument to go back to the full snake-eyes version of the deck.
The deck felt a little brickier than I would have liked at times, but was mostly a good time. 40 card version benefits from seeing higher impact hand traps like Maxx "C" more often, while the 60 card version can handle bricks for the DPE cards more. Trade-offs both ways. Going first and hard drawing Fusion Destiny was an auto-win most games (end board Caesar, DPE, and some combo of Roar/Paradise/drillbeam disruptions).
