Rank 9s are universally fairly shite and to make them you'd be giving up a Pot of Taboos and a Tarotrei which would be a terrible play. And then on top of that the fact that only 2 are 2-mat so you'd actually need to invest even more in it, I'd just drop whatever those are that you have really. Even the best ones aren't worth the surrender of that Taboos/Tarotrei engine.

 

Combining Chicken Race with quadruple Solemn is also a terrible idea in all honesty. You have no way of regenerating your own Life points and so if you take any damage you're a bit fucked with regard using them since they are a drain. Oh Christ, just seen Burst Rebirth has a 2k cost as well. Spinda is this a secret suicide deck.

 

Shallow Grave is better than Burst, even though it gives your opponent a monster you've a turn to deal with it and it's going to be face-down obviously. In addition it's faster and not another huge LP drain. One Day of Peace for one of the Chicken Races also. People say LP doesn't matter but no deck wins by any other condition that putting you down to 0 and the amount of cards you have at the moment that drain large amounts as costs is liable to fuck you over. I also think that 3 Pre-Prep 3 Manju is overkill, and you've not included Raigeki so there's room.

 

 Or, in list form:

 

-3 Burst Rebirth, +3 Shallow Grave

-1 Chicken Race, +1 One Day of Peace

-1/2 Manju, +1 Raigeki (and +1 anything else if you want to cut it down a bit more)

 

I've used Tarotrei but only with Clowns and Shaddolls and later a Brilliant Fusion variant, so I've never tried one focused on it like this is, and because of that you can take these suggestions with a grain of salt.

And also I forgot that you've no backrow or anything removal so you'll literally die to Vanity's and other such floodgates, I'd go -2 Chicken Race +2 Twin Twister there because it kills two birds with one stone. Did not want this to come as another post thought it'd attach to the other one, bollocks.

Yeah it's why i didnt give an extensive list, i just said R4s and R9s because that's all the deck can run, im not saying you'll have to use them.

 

 

Combining Chicken Race with quadruple Solemn is also a terrible idea in all honesty. You have no way of regenerating your own Life points and so if you take any damage you're a bit funked with regard using them since they are a drain.

Yeah there are way too many costs woops. Will change. 3 manju is slightly overkill imo. 2 should be fine.

Yeah i could main some twin twisters.

There is literally no reason not to run at least 1 Enterblathnir in this deck with how easily you can drop it.  A non-target banish from pretty much any point in the friggin gamestate is not by any means garbage.

Easily? You mean by getting out a Tarotrei and reviving a Taboos at the end phase, waiting a turn and then surrendering the spell speed 2 Pot of Greed/Giant Trunade/Forceful Sentry/Raigeki combo, which can also simply disrupt plays by flipping key monsters face down, to get out a 2900 body that banishes a card? Or going double Tarotrei, a play that is inherently a minimum -4, to do the same?

 

It's undoubtedly possible, and I've been in positions to rank 9 using Tarotrei and Taboos before. However, the only reason I've been in those positions is because Tarotrei/Taboos is an incredibly potent power play. It fucks with every single deck bar Kaijus, and is a consistent plus device. Giving that up for a card that likely won't survive to use its effect twice, and whose effect is, while good, not nearly at that level... nah. 

 

Have you played the deck? If not, go do it and see if you ever arrive at a point where you can rank 9 for any reason other than to overkill a dead opponent. The practical uses are few and the scenarios in which it's possible, you've already got a dominant field position, why give that up. If you really want to you could include it, but it's the same as adding rank 8s to a deck that frequently goes for level 8 synchros. In any scenario in which you could go for them, there's no need to. Waste of Extra Deck space for me, but I suppose this build doesn't have the capacity for any particular Xyz plays really so who knows.

[Progenitor]

I guess easily was not the right word.  However I disagree that you would only go into Enterblathnir to overkill a dead opponent.  I would instead claim that it would be used to secure game, since the deck itself lacks an enormous amount of removal options outside Taboos.

 

So yeah, I still stand by my claim that Enterblathnir is a solid toolbox one of that can be extremely useful if a bit situational.  I never even remotely tried to claim that this was a rank 9 spam deck or anything of the sort.

[Enguin Enguin Enguin Enguin]

I didn't say you had so that's moot. I don't disagree that you could add it in there, and since this deck won't use the extra often it likely wouldn't hurt it to add 1.

 

But I, personally, see no value in it, because the possibility that you can make something doesn't mean you should use it in place of things that can more easily and reliably be done. As I said, if you have Taboos and Tarotrei on the board, or double Tarotrei even, you're in a winning position, and there are few threats that Enterblathnir can hit that can't similarly be Castel'd.

 

It's immaterial anyway as it does remain that this deck has no actual set-up for going to the extra and it'll just be a random box of theory, but more generally to decks that use Tarotrei and Taboos rank 9s are a waste of space, and with that being where I've had my experience with the engine, that's where my comment came from.

There is just no point in not running an extra deck.

Yeah you mean the most easy and common play in the deck? Also if your taboo is still facedown after opps turn something is wrong. You almost always use it to disrupt plays using tarotrei to flip it up and stop them from doing anything.

What? Where did I say or even imply the Taboos to be face-down when it came back to your turn? You do have to wait a turn before you can the rank 9 play regardless of whether you flip it on your opponent's turn or not, the fact that you should be doesn't change that.

 

The one scenario where a rank 9 play may be worthwhile is you revive your Taboos, end phase Trunade on your opponent's end phase then flip it down with Tarotrei on your turn, back up with itself to do whatever and go from there. But why surrender the engine that, as you describe it, stops your opponent doing anything, just to banish a card once?
