So I decided to make this deck because Spirits are actually really good at getting LP through Spring of Rebirth and Aromas love LP. So, is there perhaps any CnC I could get on this odd combo-deck?

I just don't see how this synergizes in the slightest. It seems the two archetypes will just compete against each other, especially early in the game. If you want to mix 2 archetypes together, you have to consider how they synergize. Spirits need their normal summon. Aroma needs their normal summon. That means each turn you can either make a spirit play or an aroma play.

 

I see what youre going for. You're thinking to gain a lot of life off spring and the start your aroma engine at full power. The problem with this is that everything has to go perfectly for your idea to work:

 

1) you have to open with the spirit engine

2) you can't dead draw into aromas until your spirit engine is done doing its thing

3) you have to completely change over to the aroma engine and start establishing a late game board.

4) THEN the engines will start to synergize, as Jasmine will get you aromas the NS they need while you have another normal summon for spirit plays.

 

There are just so many things that can go wrong:

1) You can dead draw 1 engine while trying to set up your other.

2) your opponent can be a thorn I your side while you try to set jasmine up and finally go off.

3) you can have too few life points by the time you get both engines running and then your aromas are useless.

 

It just takes too much time and luck to be viable. There exists no easy way in your deck to establish a high life point Jasmine presence while running your spirit engine.

 

If you want to rub two engines, that's fine, but you can't stop one engine to run another, and then try to get them both working. You have to run 1 engine, while at the same time get the other one set up and running.

 

To do this, I recommend running cards to dump Jasmine and then cards to revive it from the grave like Call of the Haunted or Oasis of Dragon Souls, or even Pinpoint Guard. That way you can set up your aroma engine without stopping your Spirit engine, which is almost entirely monster based.

 

Sorry for rotting your attention span with this post.

Thank you both for the suggestions. I have adjusted the deck so that the main focus is the aromas with the spirits as an added bonus, and I also found a lizard!
