[@Freebird1994]

So we have: -fusion monsters that don’t need fusion spells(tear) -ritual monsters that don’t need ritual spells(megalith, libro) -synchro monsters that don’t need tuners(harpies, that new chaos one that just came out) -xyz that don’t need to xyz summon(springans) -links that don’t need to be link summoned(tri-brigade) This gives me hope that someday we will get Gemini monsters that don’t need to be normal summoned twice.

[@threeprongedfork7061]

UNFORTUNATELY, Springan's field spell doesn't count as an xyz summon, so we still need a real xyz deck that don't xyz summon

I love how the Libromancer field spell is the ritual spell. It makes it so much easier . Rituals tend to be more complex and take up more space. You need the ritual spell and the ritual monsters in your deck and the right levels it’s just too much waste . Having the field spell do it helps a ton

been learning and playing this deck as well, an alternative strat is using the Oohime's effect to equip Arabesque (on an opponent's monster) and tag into Nini for an extra potential bounce. Another strat is using the r6 inzktor xyz to recycle the arc light from diviner and into Rhinosebus for a search, a pop and perform the Archlord Krystia Lock. Though libromancer still dies to 1 negate at their combo start :C

[@marthofaltea1751]

@@chaotixthefox Listen man, it's just annoying to duel a deck that puts out so many points of interaction that it's almost impossible to hand trap that can also out grind pretty much everything since it spins it's fusion materials back into deck. One that also has the ability to shut down pretty much any GY based deck that isn't as aggressive as Tear. At least with boards running 4/5 negates you could just droplet, shutoff most of them and try and win on the follow up. That plus most of them only had like one or two hand traps to interact with you if you go first. With Tear you activate one Monster effect going first, and suddenly the enemy has a full board and a Mudora in GY before you can even put up one piece of interaction.

I get why you want to play a really condensed mikanko package, but at least in the side for going second I think 2-3 arabesque, 1 fire girl and another mikanko equip spell are too good to pass up. With arabesque (which you can get from the ritual) you get 1 compulsory+a body+snatch steal that seems crazy going second.

For me a 2nd part of mikanko libromancer is using the rank 3 pool with geek boy and main deck mikankos. As well as potentially isolde with doombroker. It's better post siding but you can go from the warrior into the spellcaster (another steal) via arabesque to help break boards

How long to you normally say a vowel in Japanese? How would I explain that in text!?
