Notes & Combos
January KoG with Paleozoics!
The main Turn 1 Combo is Diva / Infantry into Paleozoic Opabinia or Cat Shark. If you have Pikaia in hand, you can summon Opabinia so you can play it immediately and start drawing. Ideally, you'll draw into more Paleozoics so that you can keep Special Summoning, but it doesn't always work out that way. Alternatively, you can summon Cat Shark in defense, since it’s quite good for biding time and disrupting your opponent.
Eventual win condition is a Rank 2 Xyz beater (Daigusto Phoenix, Cursed Javelin) + Cat Shark for massive damage.
I’m still fiddling with the ratios, but I think 20 cards is ideal since you really want to open with Diva and/or Pikaia. Running 12 Paleozoics helps to keep the special summon train going.
Changes from December to January: I dropped Crumble Logos for Knightmare Mermaid to counter Iblee, although I haven't seen Iblee that often. I also swapped out Karma Cut to try Mirror Force, which despite its limitations as a battle trap, is still useful for defending yourself and wiping out your opponent's board.
