Thank you for watching! I’ll try to answer everything thoroughly: 1: i hate to say it but it’s match up dependent. Usually a good side out going 2nd though is skill drain! The card is super good but doesn’t break a board when going 2nd where rivalry, gozen, and tcboo can. However, this is match up dependent because certain floods like rivalry, gozen, or tcboo can be sided out depending on how good they are. 2: imma be real i think amano is by far the best one and i absolutely should’ve played it this weekend. The reasoning is that majesty can clear a fusion but you need a runick spell to summon it so it’s inherently a 2 card combo. Amano breaks a board by itself. You want as low commitment cards as possible while playing this deck imo because your first 5 cards are very important. Boarder is also very good because it’s a low investment card that can beat voiceless. It basically is just majesty without needing another card. If you play with amano tho i promise you you’ll love it. 3: I prefer judgement because you can stop big summons as well as spell or traps. The extra utility is very nice. Going to time is also usually good for you because munin gives you an extra 1000+ in every end phase so if your opponent keeps passing you will easily make everything back. 4: summon limit is broken but specifically in this deck it’s not the best. You want floods that break boards or can stop your opponent from killing you. Summon limit stops you from dying but your opponent usually isn’t summoning more than twice anyways. Tbh if you’re decking your opponent out they usually aren’t summoning at all under your other floods. It’s also awful going 2nd. 5: imma be real banishing fountain SUCKS but you need to play at least 1 desires. I don’t think you need multiple of it. In theory you have a higher chance of getting to fountain than 1 desires so you can 99% of the time get to fountain first. Imma be real though there have been numerous times i banished both my fountains and still won though! Runick spells are too good! You could also play 1 of extrav however you have to be careful because you can’t draw into it and use it that turn or use it and draw later. Good luck with the deck and I hope you find success with it!

Thank you so much! I missed the card advantage aspect when thinking about fiend. I also never would have thought to side out the skill drain but it makes sense. I watched quite a few deck profiles and most of them would explain if they thought a given card card was good or bad when they played it but there was not a lot of “why” for this card or that similar card from a deck building perspective. Which is why your answer is helpful for an omega noob like me! I’ll try to apply what you’ve taught me to clap my friend up when I finally get to play him again tomorrow. He is on Snake Eyes (has spent probably 1800+ on it) and I think he was annoyed when I took my first game ever off of him with 50$ Runick lol. Thanks again! 😎

Yes I was!

I sat next to you and i liked your big tip joke! 😉
