Actually played Paleo myself at locals today. Went 2-1 and got 2nd overall (a fair number of regulars are taking a break cuz of the format). Don't know if I'm gonna run it back next time, but I'm definitely updating it after watching this. Also, a card that I tried is Frozen Soul. You mention how you use Waboku over TRoar since you can use Waboku on your turn, and Frozen Soul can be used on your turn as well since it skips your opponent's next BP.

Great deck Josh! I'm gonna use Arias with my deck using your deck as reference in MD. Thanks a lot. 😊

[@KeKu333]

Haven't tested Vulmina yet, but I have been teching "Piercing the Darkness". It's a spell so not crazy trap synergy but it basically reads; once per turn if you summon a paleo, draw a card. once per turn if your xyz monster battles and has a paleo material, honest. Its kinda cute to get over big monsters with something smaller like anomalocaris and its funny when someone thinks they can beat over something like opabinia or zeus. I've also been playing 2 dominus purge, I know it can lock you from water dark and fire effects but just dont use it from hand. treat it like a normal trap and its fine. even better when you can do it twice to tenpai via rollback cause it also destroys the searcher (ie; Sangen Summoning, paidra) which stops protection and extension via chundra respectively.

It sounds weird but hear me out:Golden Lord. People often don't remember it,but the summon from hand is optional. It takes two spell/traps to use,but it is a recurrable removal spell you can have to remove floodgates or break boards,and if you prefer to have the body you can choose to summon it and it's really big and helps you get over stuff

[@randomgenretalk8151]

Josh, since you asked for more weird tech picks for Paleo: Mana Dragon Zinitron is also a card that could work in Paleo since it can special summon itself from the hand or gy everytime one of your spells/traps got destroyed or banished by your opponent, it's a lv. 6 dragon and once it was special summoned by it's effect, you can set a spell/trap that is in your gy or banishment. Whit that you could get some banished Paleos back or a important spell in your gy. With this card and Magicolloidal, you can synchro into a lv. 8 monster which could be Cyber Slash Harpy that also baunces or Graydle Dragon or my favorite, Enigmaster Packbit. Packbit can set one monster from your opponents field to the spell/trap zone or one of your monster from the gy. If you have Packbit in the Spell/trap zone you can special summon a monster that is in the spell/trap zone. Enigmaster in that sense is a counter to Flamberge Dragon and if you choose the Dragon Soldiers for example, you can special summon them and have a extra body to xyz or link off.

[@aetherwolf9288]

I dont think Mana Dragon is a Paleo card. Sounds to me more like a Tear card. Maybe even Paleo Tear. This also could be part of an infinite combo pile which I like. Thanks for bringing this card up

[@randomgenretalk8151]

@@aetherwolf9288 Thank you but i explained his effect in a way that could be misleading. Mana Dragon only triggers if your opponent banishes or destroy one of your spell/traps.

[@sparkdshark9159]

[@krawlerSPINE]

@sparkdshark9159 you use the continuous trap (Junk Sleep) Each endphase, it changes all your monsters to face-down defense position. Trap monsters become reset if they would go face-down. So cards like apophis/ and anguish statue you can continue to resummon and negate/destroy many cards a turn.

[@alphashina]

Hello josh~ I want to show you a good idea about traptrix paleo. Traptrix Myrmeleo + any Paleo card could make Opabinia in T1. It's really strong, and doesn't need too many cards. I put 3 Myrmeleo, 2 Holeutea, 1 Cartorhyn in main deck, and 1Sera, 1 Gallant Granite in extra deck. The combo: Normal summon Myrmeleo, get Holeutea. Link summon Sera. Use Holeutea with 1 paleo card as cost, chain the paleo. Then Sera special summon another Myrmeleo from deck. Now you have 2 4⭐ monster, you can summon Gallant Granite, get Cartorhyn. Cartorhyn special summon itself, then we summon Opabinia with 1 paleo and Cartorhyn. This is a very strong combo . With a T1 Opabinia, you can use Marrella 2 times in T1, you know what it means. It also provides lots of resources, easy to end the game in T3.

[@alphashina]

You can get 1 more hole trap by Sera, I even didn't mention. The Holeutea in grave allows you special summon Myrmeleo in T2. If you get hand trapped, it doesn't matter. We can just play as normal paleo.

[@alphashina]

I like this deck because it's still paleo, not a combo deck. It's just normal paleo with a "fast mode".

The way rise is worded, the targeted monster is the only one that can be attacked for the whole turn, not just until it dies, so it's effectively a scuffed waboku that you can use from the GY. And if your monster would be removed from the field anyway you can chain it to target it and at that point it locks out attacks completely.

@@chrisszocker866But game one, in theory, your opponent wouldn't know what you're on if you activate the card turn one. If your opponent calling the right number is the issue, then maybe siding it out games two and three would be better than cutting it entirely. Especially since the primary function of the card is to mill rather than to summon, and Sol is perfectly fine to get denied since it's good in the graveyard.

[@spyro2002]

This build plays too many monsters for reasoning to get consistent value especially because most of them don't want to be in grave

[@delta3244]

In general, Reasoning goes in this deck if you don't have too many level 2s. You need it to mill a decent number of cards on average. If it doesn't do that, it's a spell that barely synergises with the deck. This deck plays a high monster count compared to other paleo builds. It helps that some of your lvl 2s don't mind going to the GY, but there are still too many monsters for Reasoning to do its job. (edit - clarity)

[@ivanmaterazzo2631]

​@@spyro2002that's the REASONING (LOL) behind it, lol. The thing is you're still playing a low percentage of monsters and you may even reduce it further by adding spell/traps or cutting some monsters. Missing on the opportunity cost of running a pseudo grass which may end up into a +0 is huge. They may call 2 every time and milling dragons is a bummer. But you may also hit a blackjack which is a body or Sol which is a good mill. As ygo players we want everything to be hyper consistent. But some decks need some kind of help by embracing variance.
