How to improve with this deck?
TLDR: I hope to receive feedback on gameplay, or how to diverge with this deck. Details below are about my understanding
-----------------------------
Hi everyone!
This is Evo Portal set 6, which is improved upon the free set 6 Portal deck. It is great for a SV - and TCG in general - newbie like me, I got used to the deck quickly, was able to get some wins here and there. However, currently at D3 - topaz, it feels like the real game starts: sophisticated opponents, no more free wins because common mistakes or insufficient cards for completing a deck, which is common previously. It is harder, and that's expected.
And so, I want to improve but don't know which direction to take: wrong understanding of this deck, or the deck itself is the problem. I will try to write how I play, and hopefully provide necessary context for you to deduce.
Turn 1-3: Puppet Lancer, Enhanced Puppet, Tsubasa to clear. Ideal would be able to play Shoddy Plaything, then Yog Zentha and get that 0-pp copy spell.
Turn 4-6: Clear with Ludicrous Ordinance, Myriad Design, Substandard Puppet. If there is no Camiscilla, play Gran, with optional 1 evo point if opponent board is strong.
Turn 7+: Both for clean and dealing damage - Cami Cami Cami. Ideally would be 2 7-pp Cami, 1 4-pp Cami. Worst is no Cami until turn 8, any later is straight lost. If game last longer, then Chaos Legions, or Sandalphon, though Sandalphon is quite hit or miss if he isn't drawn but invoked cause not charged in time.
Now comes the problems:
Turn 0-7:
- No 0-pp spell from Yog due to either no/late Yog, or Yog but no 5-pp card in play. Some times awkward hand like turn 5, have Substandard Puppets and Yog, but Substandard is now 5-pp, or turn 6 with 6-pp Shoddy Plaything.
- Bad board clear. If my leader health >=14 pre turn 7 I could get back, but that's not how it usually goes.
Turn 7+: Getting Cami is hard and relying on turn drawing is horrendous. This can be in form of: getting Yog to supply 0-pp spell, or Cami itself.
Resource-wise, I have some vials - around 11000, 3x Imari, all the silver and bronze of set 7.
What should I do?
