Notes & Combos
Format feels brutal as ****. VRAINS will always feel awkward but its ability to let you force Max through a board and, more importantly, a fistful o' handtraps feels too impactful to not run.
VRAINS actually COOKS Snake Eyes. You have multiple options to stop Desirae getting set up (Bystial/SPoly/Santa) and then there is nothing on their board to stop VRAINS. It is also very funny to Bystial the Sequence so they get stuck with Promethean on board.
I decided to try out Kyrie because it feels like everyone has Maxx C in hand and it feels like a less copium option than Kuriphoton for if you get sent first by Tenpai. Unfortunately it never came up and I did once miss Sanct as an additional spell to trigger Muskets on my turn. Could be cut entirely or swapped for Sanct.
Blue Eyes is still lurking around but the format was picking up in variety so the Bystials might drop off. Crystron especially could become a big issue with multiple S/T negates and bystial immunity.
Probably for the better because then you can just play like a normal person instead of a psycho and run actual hand traps I guess.
