Raccoon Dolls

[Catman25]

Would ultimately love criticism on the deck/idea. But since I did take it to regionals I guess I'll report some of the sheet that went down bc it's depressing as funk and I gotta let y'all know how much I hate Decatron

 

So I was torn between Dolls (some variant, Melodious or Clown) and Raccoons, so I whipped this up the day before, went to locals, didn't even top there, but I liked the plays the deck was setting up, so I settled on it for regionals. I was planning on pure Raccoons if I couldn't get the second Shek, but the vendors had it, so that was good. Dropped a Dragon to the side for BLS, which honestly helped me OTK a couple games.

 

I was able to go 4-1 in the first 5 rounds (sacked by Ignknights), but sheet was working well, I was actually opening Nat Beast which was pretty handy, since it puts in work vs all of my matches (didn't face BA or rogue, besides Speedroid). Construct, Star Eater, sheet I didn't think I'd be using as much were also pretty good. Second Infernoid match I lost. I played four total Infernoid matches and drew into sided Iron Walls almost every game. Nat Beast even backing it up stopping Reasoning, but every time they have the Decatron for it. So last four rounds I drop all four, and the dreams were crushed after I thought I'd been doing alright. I went the same, x-5 with Cloudians my first regional so obviously I haven't come very far

 

Lots of people from my locals were top 48 though (I think there was like 380 people total). And the runner-up from NA Nats/4th in Worlds(?) went 9-0, so that was fun to watch

 

But anyways, to the deck, it basically does what the pure builds, but hopefully at the same time. I would NS Ponpoko set El Shaddoll and a lot of people were like what the funk when I chained it. Nat Beast is obviously a staple, and since I don't run as many 2's as pure, I ran Key Mouse to make sure I could make Beast off Obedience. It came in handy for Star Eater/Leo off of Shek/Anoy too. Kristya was pretty hilarious, if you dump with Fusion you can always Soul Charge/CoH, and having that extra light besides Cerburrel was good for Construct/BLS. You can also tribute two off of Obedience School for the NS, which I did once, but then proceeded to get Dark Holed. The back to the deck thing really sucks and I might cut it bc it's situational as funk

 

The ED was pretty tight, I'd prob try to find room for the  third Sandayu though, which came up a lot. In testing (pure raccoons) I'd been making Unicore a lot, but I honestly didn't bring it out once. The second Shek was prob a good idea, but it never really came up except one time I think El Shadding during BP for game. 

 

The problem I found was it felt like playing two separate decks. Obviously they don't have the greatest synergy, but there were multiple games where the top 10-15 cards were all Shaddoll or all Raccoon, which is fine and dandy, but if I wanted to play pure I'd throw in back row, or better cards. But yeah, suggestions, also suggestions on what I could change post-DOCS
