Instead of Saryuja (or maybe Gagaga Cowboy) add in the new card *Apollousa, Bow of the Goddess.* We are talking about massive amounts of negations in one turn!

Apollousa is 2 negates, at best, once you use two a normal summoned monster can attack over it lol

[@Nox-mc8cj]

Is it a good idea to switch gagaga cowboy for it?

[@bluemethetys9267]

It is to consider but making appolousa means you have to protect it, for instance with heavenly spheres + aether

[@TheKeksletsplay]

@@bluemethetys9267 I tested it, there are a lot of situations where it just interrupts the opponent to heavy! Of corse you build her only with resources you don't need. Like normal Vortex, maybe an 1 or 2 more negs... So... Yeah it's nice

[@nataevaristo5627]

O P R E S S I V E So much strong going second, and so disgusting going first

[@admontblanc]

Saw in your side that Brotaur with Vanity's Fiend, another cool thing you can search the same way is Wicked Avatar, but to pull that off if you need to save your normal summon. The Dugares combo bringing out Spell Canceller seems much more feasible.

[@dotzedofrieddd6270]

I think pisty is needed for going second to use ignister twice...

[@TheKeksletsplay]

Actually the deck can do so many different boards. Like doubble igniter stuff, with nr 60 theoretical 3x. You know looping stuff like this isn't pretty good for the opponent.

[@TrifGaming]

Ps ravine is how u play through hand traps

[@Lithium2300]

Wanted to keep it as close to 40, but Ravine, yeah.. :(

[@TrifGaming]

It’s ok bro the world will see soon enough pendulums is the only deck where 60 is mandatory

Not exactly

[@x_mage_x5282]

Actuallt it is. You havent seen trif gaming.

[@boraaksitozgun9912]

Well, orcust combo was prob better since it was a meta deck last format, unlike the pend magi deck which might be meta thanks to banlist.

[@raffaelg757]

@@x_mage_x5282 no. You need more cards in hand : another pendulum scale + a monster (including the draw of electrumite)

@@boraaksitozgun9912 yeah, pendulums weak, konami needs to give back the banned stuff because it's doing nothing.

[@PurpleWarlock]

You are taking a look at older decks due to the new banlist. Have you tried Rescue Rabbit in Six Samurai to pull out 2 Chamberlains? You can go into a link 2 or the Samurai link, then link climb to new Tenyi link 3 to blow 2 cards. Not very clever but just an idea.

[@Fawlker]

"4+ Negates that can turn into OTK!" And this, ladies and gentelmen, shows how crazy the game has become. I remember the time when sitting behind a single Stardust Assault Mode (or even regular Stardust, for that matter) was already scary enough. One can only adapt to it.

[@admontblanc]

That was never what competitive decks did outside a few select formats, ofc the current meta does powercreep the old meta very hard.

[@MrsJMWitzigreuter]

I remember when swords of revealing lights and mirror force were top tier

[@isaacladrondeguevaramorale1331]

I've watched a guy in Dueling Book that made a zefra variant where he uses zefraath, oracle, providence, divine strike and zefraniu, and he cut the dracos and manage to make consistently almost the same board (he ends on savage, odd-eyes wind, and hieratic seal and f.a.) but with strike to add another negation, and sometimes with king jackal too. EDIT:I forgot to say that he's the highest rated in duelingbook right now.

[@TheKeksletsplay]

Just to say it: Even if the nr60 combo is nice, if something goes wrong after the effect is activated, you loose your main phase 1. I would use daigusto over him. Also daigusto can be B&B in mid game to shuffle back the guardragon and electromite. To have access to 2 electromite and go full combo in midgame can turn around the game.

[@garyoak8014]

I read that tittle and thumbnail in Trifs voice.

[@neropriority]

After seeing so many 60-card builds of the *triff* This version seems very strange to me

[@raffaelg757]

60 cards isn't right. You need to see your side deck cards (like 80% chance to see 1 in your opening 6 going 2nd) to destroy that Anti-Spell Fragrance - Mystic Mine. In 60 cards you need to side 12 cards (lol) to get this kind of odds. With 40 it's only 8

[@perseval4910]

the side deck dont convince me, were are the handtraps ?

[@TheKeksletsplay]

You don't need them. Your endymion jackal engine negates pretty anything important right from spot. Also there is a point where handtraps doesn't matter anymore. Maybe droll for saryuja decks but that's it

[@aylmao9045]

Id remove cowboy, it might get u jokingly banned.

[@grove4mylife]

[@curziomalaparte3008]

Upstart if you have more than 40 cards is also great for siding!

[@matthewherlihy1106]

Pisty is for the ignister combo going second

[@split_____144]

41 and goblin classic

[@BFG_Guzma]

So I haven't attempted remaking the build since it first came out, but how's triple Luster Pen and Guiding Ariadne + Performapals now that Solemn Judgment is at 3? That build was kinda nuts when it first came out with just 3 strike and 1 warning.

[@TheKeksletsplay]

Trust me, hell this goes crazy. You can basicly loop Ariadne with Luster to search herself and search your negates. I play a more "say no" version than the classic build, but it's a hell of fun. Also you can do the igniter combo to get some extra disruption! I tested it; it's okey if you are a bad person, cauze you loose your friends anyway if you play this. Oh put 3x phantazmei inside for the extra spice and ability to go into level 8 xyz. :)

[@Websterthedoc]

How did he pop the scale with Electrumite when he previously activated Pendulum Call that same turn?

[@admontblanc]

I'll explain for the 10000th time, perhaps, Pendulum Call is specifically a Magician support card so anything that isn't Magician doesn't get protection from Call.

[@EVC1094]

Pardon my ignorance, but whatever happened to the Endymion Mythical Beast variant? Is it just really susceptible to hand traps?

[@Lithium2300]

Problem is the Guardragon package and running less potential bricks also..

[@EVC1094]

Lithium2300 Ah, I see. Do you think that variant could become meta relevant if the Guardragons are hit on the ban list?

[@admontblanc]

I believe people are starting to drop MB Master Cerberus because it is a dead card if you play vs Thunder, Jackal King stays because you get it from Servant and it protects Electrumite from Ogre and Veiler.

[@EVC1094]

Montblanc That makes sense. Also, Lithium I just realized how hard it would be to answer my last question since the meta evolves so much lol.

[@admontblanc]

@@EVC1094 if Guardragons are hit perhaps incorporating Thunder Dragon for that free Colossus, or something else, the deck can incorporate any small engine for the extra spicy board.

Nice list. I like 2x Destrudo because of Desires and it is not bad to draw. I would also add 3x Into The Void and more Jackals

[@Lithium2300]

Yes 2 Destrudo I'd like also, not sure about the draw 🤔

[@admontblanc]

@@Lithium2300 I think you can go up to 45 easily without running into very big side decking issues, but even drawing the Destrudo is not the end of the world since it has a decent level and you can still use it from the hand for combos, the only real downside is banishing it off of Desires but even that is only -1 negate end board, still more than enough for any deck.
