It's such an innocent time compared to the present!

Hes got plenty of dark monsters, and with ROTA he doesnt need the effect of sangan, and if he DID he could just run a third ROTA Jinzo stops your OWN traps as well so thats the kinda card you would wanna build the entire deck around if you wanted to use it

@@firemage8874mostly right but rota is semi limited in this format

Sasuke samuri is just a weaker swordmans level 2 no?

@@SomeoneNamedMark I was referring to Grandmaster Sasuke

@@curthagens ah my bad

@@SomeoneNamedMark no worries!

Upstart almost made it in, but I like having backrow presence as a bluff or to bait a breaker/MST/heavy storm. You can’t do any of that with upstart. Upstart is great because you can use it immediately but this deck doesn’t require immediate draws like chaos turbo or reasoning gate. Also jar doesn’t give your opponent 1000 LP which isn’t a big deal in the aforementioned decks where you’re working towards an unbeatable board, but when you’re just causally summoning one beat stick per turn to wear down your opponent and pressure them each turn, giving them 1000 LP isn’t great. Hope that explanation made sense 😅

There isn’t much use for it here. The only discard card is graceful charity so playing sinister doesn’t make a lot of sense

@@TheOldSchoolExpert what about tribe? Abyss soldier could also be a neat side deck choice if u had serpent

@@soundwave9560 abyss soldier is very situational and without a water monster it’s pretty useless. I’m not a big fan of it. With tribe, you are usually only using it when things get dicey and you need an out, so at that point you’re well beyond the help of a sinister serpent. Do you pitch whatever isn’t helping you the most

only if you use max rarities
