Salamangreat was the first competitive deck i ever built , and seeing the fall of the deck was hard to watch so thanks calli for reviving the love for the deck with this video!

[@smithier2]

So this just opened my eyes. I really thought I knew Salamangreat through and through, but I never realized that Foxy just needs ANY face up spell/trap on board to summon itself. I always played it as “if your opponent has a face up s/t”… this changes all my combos now! Thank you so much!!!!!

SALAD BEST DECK BABYYYYYYY

[@lukasnoll3171]

Hey Cali. A single jack jaguar makes accesscode with 5300atk and 3 pops but not attack twice. The combo is: Summon jaguar, make baelynx, baelynx search sanctuary, activate sanctuary, link baelynx for baelynx, jaguar in grave shuffle back baelynx to summon it. Use both for splash mage, splash mage revive jaguar or baelynx, use splash and whatever you brought back for transpose, then transpose summon back splash mage, then use both for accesscode. Accesscode targeting transpose for 5300, and you have a water, earth, and fire link in grave for accesscode. Its better late game but still good to know in more simplified board states

[@lukasnoll3171]

*autocorrect. Should have been transcode. Also haven't used splash mage in a while so it actually only brings back jaguar, my bad

@Cybernetic Zone 9 one-card starters with built-in everything (spells,traps) combined with alot of handtraps and the recursion it offers was outstanding.

Where you get your card sleeves for your extra deck

[@gilbertojoaquin3188]

One thing I’d like to add is this deck is SUPER budget. Picking up 3 starter decks alone brings the value 3x Ash Blossom and lets you pick up the majority of the Salad core. Outside of the Salad package, most singles are cheaper than ever due to recent reprints. Swap Accesscode for Topologic Zeroboros for a really budget swap and you got yourself a playable salad deck on a budget!

[@davidzhou2161]

lady debug is a one card transcode otk

[@thomashenley3890]

Assuming your opponent has 0 carda on the field and 0 interaction in their hand... probably allot of cards that can do something similar, that doesnt make them good though because the chances of 0 interruptions and 0 things on field, not on turn 0 is very low

That pyro Phoenix reprint drained so much value from the SR it's sad. It's such an unwanted card nowadays. Shout-out for running it tho it has its uses fr

[@planetofkryk]

Mmmh, I would say that a card like borreload would be nice, and I'll explain why: maybe I'm missing something, but this list seems kinda weak to cards like beelze of the diabolic dragons or evil hero malicious bane. The deck needs a removal for cards immune to battle or effect destruction, so borreload would perfectly fit. Ofc, malicious has not seen any competitive plays, aswell as beelze, but the idea of losing to a rogue cause you have no answer to this problem is sad.

[@beyondgoogle6642]

Other than being an extender , heees why moles bad The shuffle and draw effect is BAD for salamangreat You don’t want to shuffle salamangreat cards from grave into deck unless it’s wolf and Leo And if you’ve gone that far into the game You should be winning as our deck is a great grind deck

[@ruf2008]

Talents doesn’t fix the issue, since the choking point is Debug. You go into Balelynx and search field then play Talents and the two cards you draw don’t really matter since you already normal summoned. The deck is too normal summon reliant to work with talents is what I’m saying.

[@ivanZ.4]

If they hand trap cynet Desires Or debug Talents does help a lot

Those wacky hands also when you’re forced to discard a good card for cynet , and it gets ashed you just lose

@@thomashenley3890 LOL you're literally talking about a splashable card that stacks onto an Xyz for battling and quick effect board wipes sending all other cards cards. Pretty much every control or pro-active control deck can benefit from having a clear button. I play it Salamangreat and it has won me every game that I've had to make it. Otherwise, Salamangreat covers most of the scenarios within the core. Lol what are you on? P. s. Will is literally a come back card. Even Cali said he wanted to run 3. There's a reason for that.

[@gamersreactions9267]

Bro if you draw 2 will in your hand its garbage, handtraps dont stop you playing salads AT ALL, destroying your normal is the problem, also if you need to use zeus to win thats sad, also not very synergistic with will or sanctuary, pretty garbage, also there is no extra deck space for zeus

[@MrWallyworld41]

@@gamersreactions9267 that goes for alot of cards you run 3 of, doesn't mean you shouldn't want to see it, so what you're saying is completely circumstantial. I'd say I use Zues about 1/3 of the time. The problem with what you're saying is that you assume you're strategy is always going to work out. Most of the time Zues is not needed no. Does it mean you shouldn't run it? No, that's stupid. It's like running Dweller in the deck. You don't need Dweller to win, but against certain match ups it's nice. It's not a synergy issue, it's a matter of utility.
