Ogdoadic Reptile Deck | May 2023 Yugioh Deck Profile!

[@adragonssoul5200]

Just gonna give my thoughts here, I've actually made this deck like rogue competitive level, it's basically my pet deck at this point. It struggles against Kash obviously (meaning I play a ton of Arise-Heart outs) but everything else it actually does pretty decent against. I use a Rank 8 toolbox version of the Deck (I'm surprised you didn't run a single Rank 8 in the Extra ngl) which gives me a lot of options for various situations, combined with the versatility and resiliency the Ogdoadics provide. Stuff like Photon Lord, Dingirsu, Galaxy-Eyes package, Draglubion into Numeron Dragon OTK, etc. Mixing the Rank 8 options with the Ogdoadic's board options actually makes it really solid. Personally I don't run Flogos, just because Zohah does his job much better. Zohah combines extremely well with Nunu, allows you to turn 1 handrip the opponent with Aron, and is consistency. I run every other Ogdoadic though at the same ratios you showed. Night Sword and Coatl I used to run, but I've cut them, due to the fact their main purpose for me, was aiding in Summoning Chaos Ruler when it was still legal. Without him, Coatl lost a lot of value and Night Sword became another garnet when you're already running quite a few. Instead I run Alasia, since she can equip Zohah, to trigger his effect and go for the handloop combo, and Reptilianne Nyami, a handtrap that makes a monster's ATK 0. It looks worse than it actually is, because Aron can search this on the opponent's turn if they...play the game. Letting you block OTKs, turn off Apollousa hilariously, and also force out other negates since they become really easy to attack over. Also I love the Ananta, I don't run it, but it's really funny and based, I'm not judging that choice lmao. I don't like the Lair package though, because you Tribute their monster with Keurse...and then they can just bring it or another monster right back due to Keurse (even if its negated). And you have to be able to take advantage of it on the opponent's turn to get the most bang for your buck, which Ogdoadic on its own can't do (you can ofc with the Virus Traps). Also you're relying on hard drawing this unlike the Reptiles which can all be accessed easily. Tbh I run 3 Water Lily due to it combining well with Snake Rain to let Ogdoabyss immediately wreak havoc on a board going second. But I totally get running 2 as well. And I don't like Trade-In since you don't run very many Level 8s (only 6) though part of it for me is because it conflicts with Prosperity. Though I totally get if you wouldn't want to run Prosperity because it is pricy lol. Also 1 tech I run in the Extra is Gravity Controller, it can get your King of the Feral Imps and leftover material into the GY to set up for Water Lily. Okay I think I've rambled on for long enough, sorry this comment is so long XD

Hey, might be random but could I get a decklist of what you described? I think a Rank 8 toolbox sounds really interesting for this deck and I'm working towards building it irl. If that's not possible that's okay, I figured I'd ask anyway!
