Firstly, very open to suggestions! Especially with the side deck, trap recs, and the SEC spread.

I have a few other builds in-mind, but this is the most straightforward (and possibly the best?) I was originally running a Dogmatika package (Punishment, N’tss, and Thunderbolt) but sending cards from ED really screwed with my SEC, so I cut it all for Changel. Could also cut Changel for a 2nd Big Welcome (or maybe a Rollback and some 1 pointers,) looking for feedback there. No surprise, SEC is INSANE (if you can resolve it). Also, Demise is even crazier. Considered siding it, but it’s just so damn strong! May side Traptantalizing if I can’t think of anything else, but not sure the draw power is SUPER necessary?

Was running Trap Trick, but between Lady, Back Jack, and Set-Up, you rarely have issues getting a specific trap and can put the points elsewhere. I’m open to other Trap suggestions - Ice Dragon feels like the next most obvious, depending on format. Considered a singleton Fiend Griefing, but I’m not sure if it’s ever impactful enough. Also - is there a consensus on Heavenly Prison vs the new Audhumla card? Both seem to have pros and cons.

I’ve had a lot of fun playtesting it so-far! Open to any feedback or suggestions :D

The original uncensored Kickstarter variant cover of Under the Air.

I know it’s just a variant cover art, but it’s been so hard to find in the almost decade I’ve been working on this set! I’d lose my mind if I could get ahold of the slip case that some people got with this version, but I accept that it (along with the slip covers for The Crater) are just a pipe dream.

They seriously didn't give us the best card from the new support??? This literally came out at the same time as all the other cards (Blue Traveler, Babel Decker, Exceptional Schedule, etc).

All these meta decks getting multiple packs of support all released at once in MD, but my crappy Train deck can't even get its discount Circular? They even gave us an event for Train to be playable but completely botched the consistency by leaving out Convex!

I'm just sooooo frustrated right now because I was really excited for this deck, and now I don't even think I'm going to craft it...

Bought all of these (except 3) loose years ago for really cheap and have been picking up the cases over the years. Finally have the complete set :)

Side note, adore these games (especially 1&2). Played them since their original Wii releases. Any other love for NMH/Suda51?

Surprised it’s Kodansha reprinting it. Viz must have finally given up (or lost) the license!

If you’re looking for something a little different to play: I’d like to recommend Regenesis/Dogmatika. Deck also has me sitting at M5 (would be higher but DC started and that became my focus). Went through quite a few build changes during my climb but this is the one that got me through the majority.

Pros:

- Solid going 1st or 2nd (my last 4 win streak from 19 - Max all had me going 2nd)

- Doesn’t care about Fuwa and has lines around Droll

- Shit ton of draw/search power between both engines

- Thanks to Fleurdelis the Thunderbolt, the archetypes bridge nicely with each other (Regenesis can search Fleur, and sometimes normal summon Ecclesia, add Fleur can unbrick your whole hand)

- Bystials are pretty solid right now, and pair nicely with Regenesis

- Its grind game is AMAZING!

- Short turns, very mid-range and easy to play, not doing anything particularly degen that I can think of

- Makes great use of Super Poly but doesn’t care about it itself (unless you specifically have Dragon & a spellcaster on-board)

- Lord’s ability to double its own attack and pierce catches a LOT of people off-guard (especially Enneacraft who I’ve randomly OTK’d a few times with it)

Cons:

- Can be bricky. You’re running a lot of traps which can suck going second and…every so often, you’re just stuck with a hand of monsters that can’t summon themselves!

- Beware the ED locks! If you have Super Poly, make sure you play around the locks UNTIL you resolve it

- Deck is UNPLAYABLE under Shifter/DiFi/Macros Cosmo

- It has a lot of hands that play well under Droll…but still some that just roll over and die :(

A few notes and comments:

- I was running a Kashtira package for a minute but I feel the deck trips over it more than anything

- I added in Droll for my last 4-5 games for Enneacraft but never resolved it once (only faced Branded or Dracotail)

- I know there are a lot of Dogmatika traps and you could easily cut one of either, but it’s nice to have options for Thunderbolt to set, because sometimes you ALREADY have access to Punishment (and negating by sending Archfiend with Sage, then reviving Archfiend with Quadog & sending N’tss feels SOOOO good!)

- The ratios are super flexible. I encourage you to experiment with it

- Deck gets EVEN STRONGER once Fidraulis drops!

If you can’t tell, I ADORE this deck. This was actually my Genesys deck for quite a while and it just feels so good to be playing it in MD! It’s not perfect, but it plays evenly into just about all the meta decks that I can think of.

This was my first in-person Geny event, and the vibes were super chill and this deck was SO FUN! I played it blind 2nd and would put in rogue tier for Genesys - obviously it is insane at OTK’ing, Eclipse/Concealing + the Tistina rank 10 is a board wipe, can go first if someone tries to outplay me that way, and Subspace Battle was the BEST CARD in my deck whenever I saw it - was always an add 3.

That said, I was DECIMATED by an RDA deck and it made me come to the sad conclusion - the best decks are too strong to not run any hand traps, so I’m trying to rework this deck to be a bit more flexible in that regard.

Takeaways and changes I’m considering:

- I want to add in Nib & Fuwa - either would’ve been insanely clutch in the games I lost.

- I also want the 3rd exceptional schedule, that card was good every time I saw it.

- I’m siding the Shadoll stuff, if not cutting it entirely - every game I lost, I drew the garnet (Nehshaddoll Genius) and Shadoll Fusion is TERRIBLE paired with Book of Eclipse or Kaiju (a lot of decks only end on 1 ED monster)

- Zeus really underperformed - I’ve had games in playtesting where he was SUPER clutch, but he just didn’t give me 20 points worth of performance this night. I think I actually went into him once or twice in situations where I shouldn’t have just because I COULD

- Gonna cut a Malefic Cyber End and the Finnis Terae. Both are free extenders but ONLY if you can set-up first. Had a game where I had BOTH in-hand but no way to get a body on the field

My current rebuild, I’ve actually cut the Droplets for Nib. Droplet was GREAT when I saw it and I’m hopeful they may reduce the points on Exceptional Schedule to give me more flexibility (since the deck is doing LITERALLY NOTHING in the format) but for the time, I want more cards that prevent my opponent from setting up without potentially minusing myself. Also added Wandering Titan of Tartarus to the side - I’m already running Delta of Invitation, PLUS Titan can either send a set Urgent Schedule to get another pop AND give me a search, or it can be SENT by Exceptional Schedule to trigger its second effect and revive a body.

Open to any thoughts, suggestions, or questions! It sounds like my locals is gonna try running Geny every other week, so should be able to get some consistent playtesting with this deck :)

Just picked this up recently - SUCH a cool display piece!

As I understand it, this was given away as a door prize for a 1 night event held by Tezuka Prod in 1998 to commemorate Tezuka’s 70th Birthday + 30 years since the founding of Tezuka Prod (which is where the 100 years comes from). Just a crazy cool piece of Tezuka history!

Unfortunately the clock portion does not work (not that I’d use it for that anyways.) Considering getting it fixed, but also just content to have it :)

Buddha is the only manga I feel like I’ve seen these for (and even then, they’re pretty rare). Are there others out there in people’s collections? I’d love to see them!

I posted a dedicated train deck prior to the updated point announcement, but quite a few people pointed out some interesting techs - most notably, Subspace Battle. Now that the points are out and after playing around a bit, I realized that none of the new Train cards (with one exception) have a lock on them. So now I present Rank-10 Turbo.

Essentially any 2 level 10’s makes Flying Launcher which unlocks your entire line of Trains, so we’re running all the easy to summon 10s, the most interesting tech being Malefic Cyber End who is a free, non-OPT, level 10 machine if you have a field spell (which you’re running 9 copies of). It’s also a guaranteed add off Subspace Battle (typically you’re picking both Cyber Ends and Night Express, but the Kaiju is also a good option going 2nd). The deck can go first or second, going first you’re making Varudras, Mercurium, Gustav Rocket, and Citadel. Going second, you’re looking to break their board and otk.

We’re running Shaddoll in the side because, not only is it a powerful going 2nd engine that makes a level 10 Earth Machine, but Wendi is a Wind monster you can run to get in the gy for Mercurium if you know your opponent is running something like RT. I am open to more nuanced side-deck options, but I haven’t REALLY gotten to playtest that aspect, yet.

Open to suggestions, but in my testing up to this point, it’s super consistent and flexible!

Replace Ironwolf with Gaming Gamer GG

Been playing around with it a bit and this deck is CRACKED! Pretty consistent, sets up a strong board going first, INSANE going 2nd. It can brick just because you really want to have 2 machines in-hand (waiting for that machine handtrap) but the new support does SOOOO much for the deck! Definitely may be worth playing around with the numbers and I wouldn’t be surprised if some of these cards get prehit but…I don’t think it’ll be oppressive and a lot of your best cards (namely Regulus and Varudras) already have points, so maybe not.

What do you think? Strong contender? I think it gets even better once the Heralds leave the format (which U expect them to after this next point update). Anything you’d change about my build? I’m open to suggestions (but I’ve tried a few different builds before settling on this one).
