While there is the PUNK version that can end on a very different board, this version is still pretty consistent and can play through interruptions. The main goal with this variant is to end on, Cherub, IP, Gabonga and the Zero XYZ. You will also have the trap set to xyz up into the Lancer which is another monster eater. Since the deck has a lot of one card starters, the ideal opening hand is Tour Guide or Terrortop or both even with the latter being reliable bait for handtraps. This can mean that on top of the on field interruptions you have handtraps to back you up.
The side deck is fairly flexible, I mostly loaded it with spell/trap counters due to the heavy reliance on them in this current format.
