I enjoyed that solo gate, it was funny discovering how much legacy support there is for Gaia fusing with Curse of Dragon specifically

If it was a thing in DM it gets support eventually just for full nostalgia value.

So do the new Ishizu monsters team up well with Runick, or nah? I’m right on the edge of having enough Spright URs to craft the rest

Apparently the next structure deck is going to be Gaia the Fierce Knight themed. I honestly haven't the foggiest as to how they're going to make that in any way appealing.

Loving the Ishizu cards in Therion. Also, Kurikara Divincarnate is hilarious in a go second deck.

I've been saying for a long time that the horse from gaia the fierce knight should get its own card and it should be named Curse of Horse

There is no problem that cannot be solved through sufficient application of lasers and friendship.
The golem deck is kinda hilarious going first because nobody is prepaired for the link 3 perminantly turning off all their cards when they attack over it.

What a weird choice for a structure. Unless it has some staples in it then nobody is gonna waste their gems on it, and the fact that it's advertising an R rarity card is pretty loving dire.

As for the event, I keep bouncing back and forth between Spright, Exosister and Branded Despia when I'm actually trying to climb, but when I actually want to have fun I end up grabbing Giant Ballpark or Magikey Suship.

Is there any high greater than faking out a Dinomorphia player into burning through all of their outs, then casually dropping a Lava Golem and immediately ending the turn?

Same. Just built the live twin spright deck, basically play through most interruptions, but I still put in a bunch of hand traps like ghost ogre, veiler and ash/imperm. Running a tcg legal variant, to match my cardboard deck lol. It's really fun

To explain this in a way that's probably more helpful: the killer of a lot of more gimmicky decks, especially gimmicky FTK decks, is fragility. Either the strategy relies on a very specific combo that doesn't always happen, or it loses to a single disruptive interaction (often both). In particular, Necroface is famously pretty unreliable because it relies a lot on luck; you need to get it banished to proc its effect, and Necroface strategies usually rely on it banishing another copy of itself to cascade things--but if you just can't manage to bin Necroface it doesn't do crap (making it something of a garnet, the last place you want a Necroface is in your opening hand), and your plan is dead if it, or any of the ways you're planning to banish it, gets negated somehow.

Chances are the reason that's in Gold near the end of a month is because you're only seeing the times it works, and it usually doesn't. I'm not familiar with Ishizu Necroface as a strategy, but a description in an MBT short looks like it's a multi-monster combo; that's probably something you can choke out with a well-timed Ash Blossom or Ghost Belle.

Now, the FTKs you actually need to worry about are when someone pulls some overly long combo to just get 8000 Attack and an annoying amount of negates on the board. Some decks can do that EXTREMELY reliably (Swordsoul being my eternal to-go example), with relatively few starting cards and some strong alternative routes in the event of negates. Not only are those a lot more consistent, but they're usually gonna be able to hold their ground even if they don't swing an FTK.

What are good anti-meta decks/staples to run in this format?

I've been running Floo with backrow hate and Anti-Spell/Dark Simorgh in Duelist Cup. I'm getting results, but all I'm really playing against are Stun decks. I guess the natural response to when I start seeing more Ishizu is to run D. Fissure, but wasn't sure if there was something more interesting I could be doing.
