Notes & Combos
P/S: Ultimate Creature was in because I was chosen to go 2nd a few times (happened twice in my winstreak too), but Bingo Machine, Go should replace it. I have vid replays from the winstreak that used Jet Dragon if anyone asks.
Giving up 4k LP + having a telegraphed play from Piri Reis Map didn't feel like my answer to consistency because I had games where that LP difference mattered. I was also not willing to craft 3 Purge.
So the next idea was to add another engine that synchronizes with BE while adding to the board when you don't see Sage and Maiden. I didn't have Buster Blader stuff (they also have total bricks for cards), so I went with Metalmorph.
It's also possible to go for Black Metal Dragon, but
- It loses harder to both Maxx C and removal that don't send it to GY.
- More copies of it means dead cards after Fullmetal is removed. At least Incoming Machine can get the trap or Illusionist from GY to make Spirit of EoB if drawn.
- Illusionist checks for Imperm/Veiler. This way you can choose not to go for Spirit of EoB.
