[@doctorhu6516]

So at 6:56 you can actually make benghalancer then tribute the benghalancer for snowdrop to summon it and rosegirl and then reborn the benghalancer by banishing links from the graveyard, it gets you one extra interaction if you don't care about potentially losing the benghalancer followup since if you revive it it gets banished when it leaves the field. Similarly, in game 1 of the best of 3, it was still possible to end on benghalancer by going through this route Also at 9:05 if you're in this position and you're in the clear you can also just make the thrasher instead of the dryas, melias can make something it points to attack multiple times for each sunavalon you have, so thrasher here becomes a 3200 double attacker (obviously it didn't matter in that game specifically because on an open board you can still make lethal easily anyway but it does come up) Edit: do not do the second thing i listed i am stupid, make the link 4 then make thrasher because melias counts sunavalons and the link 4 is in fact a sunavalon so you instead get a 4k double attacking goyo guardian

[@Rairiky]

To be fair this deck is very hard to pilot, a ton of weird effects depending on the situation

[@YuseiTheSynchroHero]

13:40 _And THERE IT IS_ , ladies and gentlemen. The moment you've all been waiting for.

[@MarioLopez-xs3vc]

Nothing like a Snow Drop to heal off Dry Ass. I think this list will do fine picking one or the other between Therions and Token shenanigans. Out of those two I'd probably go with the Therions package since it actaully contains a plant.

[@meathir4921]

Yeah, I felt like this list has too many starters and not enough defensive cards

[@convoy4702]

Ill go with PUNK instead of Adventurer, you can get a Baronne out and then do the Plant combo with Necro Synchron

[@Aaron_Heininger]

The Therions are nice add to plants. But honestly wish Konami just did interruption instead of pushing out negates. They might at well be like Opera to all the other decks by now. Konami: you get a negate and you get a negate.

[@erk8520]

I love how my build is almost a 1 for 1 with this one, with the exception of the droplets. Can't wait to get the Therion core to finish my deck! Also at 10:30, you could've made Benghalancer with the Loci + Melias, SS the King Regulus, Tribute Benghalancer via Snowdrop ( +Rose Girl) to make Teardrop, then SS Benghalancer from the grave.

Coming back to this list for Master Duel after the Therions came out and while the adventure engine is pretty much a shell of it's former self with all of the hits, I'm pleasently surprised that with a bit of tweaking (and 3 copies of maxx c lmao) this list is still great! I cut it down to 2 copies of Dryas in favor of 3 of Aroma because that's what I had already for URS and 2 copies of Sunseed Twin for less hard bricks and I'm such a fan of what this deck can do and has so many different plays! Thank you for showing me how to make the plants link summon.

I may be alone in this, but I actually like seeing your decks go up against Cyberse Eldlich. In a format where everyone is playing the Scythe/Destiny Hero Package, the Adventure Engine, or both, it's good to see how a deck fares against the deck that puts up both.

[@geiseric222]

I mean that’s not really true, scythe lock is functionally dead

[@Psynapseful]

To add to what you’re saying, while it is true that Cyberse Eldlich took 2nd at the recent YCS Guadalajara, many more decks do not play any of Scythe, DPE, or Adventure. There were at least 2 Tenyi Swordsoul decks, the 1st place Branded Despia deck, and Branded Tri-Brigade among the top 16. There was also Adventure DPE Pranks and Adventure Branded Despia, which didn’t use Scythe (and no DPE in the Despia deck). Scythe is too well known and countered at this point, and we’re starting to see really disruptive deck against backrow decks too like Anti-Magic Arrows and Night Beam. I expect Eldlich to adapt or die trying soon.

As they say in the west "teach a fish to synchro, and you will make a bar on the floor, but teach a plant to link summon and you've made a benghalancer the resugrent" classic saying, brings back memories.

[@JustPeterSteel]

The way you ended the combo in game 1 is wrong. You could have had the Benghalancer on the field if you had made it before the Dryantrentiay then used it and the Melias to make Dryantrentiay, and brought back Benghalancer from grave with its own effect.

[@islayprettylies9485]

This deck is pretty hard. Combo lines are pretty divergent and non-linear so I'm not surprised if we see a few mistakes.

[@Ironpecker]

It's not necessairly wrong, the pilot valued more having the reborn effect from benghalancer on turn 3 than an extra interruption on the end board. Sometimes it's better to choose the grind game, also doing it this way leaves them the option to make teardrop on the crackback which is pretty strong, maybe not as strong as having a stronger endboard but it's definetely an understandable line

[@bananatron6930]

I’ve had luck with a Rikka build of this. It struggles with early negates, so this is better, but the Rikka field spell is very silly, as is their monster that summons itself for free and is a negate _in the graveyard_ and they’re especially funny together. Also zones are a real struggle.

[@bluemethetys9267]

2:08 mm we've had Binghamton Queen Marjoram Bloom for a while. 4 interrupts is plenty.

[@hedge6191]

2 Things: 1. You shouldnt use snowdrop on Link-3 or loci, but make benghalancer and tribute it to go for the teardrop. then reborn it with its own effect. Since you can only use 1 effect of it per turn, the reborn only comes up in the grind game at most, but the additional interruption is just way to important. 2. Small, fucking, World; It searches EVERYTHING with ANYTHING. You do need to play a semi brick with lonefire blossom as the bridge but tbh, if you consider lonefire a brick in a plant deck, you know the deck will be insane. additional Loci -> lonefire -> Enchantress/Lily and vice versa. it fixes your hand and searches you your omni pre combo to make sure to pop off. at least its better than painful decision. Also i guess 2.5, you can also play the rikka trap once the field spell is out since it will tribute something non targeting as cost, or cut rikka to play the spore carrotweight line to setup your aromaseraphy synchro that gives all your plants targeting protection and a free pop by gaining life with the aroma trap, but thats just personal preference and not really a main point. Stunseed best deck especially spelled backwards

[@willsoe]

Why are you so into the branded monarchs deck? I've given it a test spin against both pure branded, madolches, and splights and I got bodied by all of them. Your can get erebus out consistently sure and even if you have the light one and a stormforth for a pop it's just not all that Interactive

[@Howardax]

Splights are just about bodying every other deck to be fair, they're an SS-tier so that's a bit of an exception. As for rival branded, being able to either set up a mirrorjade and dragostapelia play going first or monarchs stormforth into an established board going second, are both really strong options to have. They're oddly synergistic with each other, especially when played unconventionally
