Notes & Combos
DON'T BUILD THIS DECK IF YOU'RE A NEWBIE, this is a VERY EXPENSIVE deck, full of "unpackable" cards that can be used ONLY in stun decks.
This is pretty much the deck I've used all throughout the climb fro Platinum to Master 1. I changed very few things, mostly ratios (I played 3 Upstart Goblin at the start for example).
I must admit I'm not really proud of climbing with this, but I still finally decided to share it, since it's the 2nd time ever that I reach M1 and I want some "history" of my achievements, idk. I got to M1 around 14/07, so in the middle of the season.
What I'm proud of is that I got to Master 1 with the cards I used as a kid (Necrovalley and Mirror Force)
I started using Mirror Force in Master 5 and it has been very good, because links are popular, because a resolved Mirror Force + Necrovalley is very strong and mostly because very very few people expected it as a way to protect my monsters.
Board Breakers are mandatory, sadly the only viable ones are Raigeki, Black Hole and Duster (maybe Heavy Storm too, but I wouldn't recommend it). Board Breakers are important not only to go second, but also to have the upper hand in the grind game.
Filled the ED with a bunch of random monsters that I thought I might be able to summon once every 50 games lol. The most used for me where Typhon and Bagooska.
The most annoying card to face has been the Maliss trap that searches and then banishes without targeting. If it didn't exist, my winrate would have been much higher.
All in all, the climb has been much easier in comparison to my first time reaching M1, tho it might only have seemed much easier, since the deck doesn't really involve much brain.
