- Card Count & Overview -
This deck turns Labrynth into more a supportive factor in the deck, being used more for link bodies and consistent recursion as well with a few traps that help this deck's boss monsters against problems they face.
We focus less on handtraps and more on boardbreaking and drawing into those boardbreakers, with cards like: Maxx C, Fuwalos, Ultimate Slayer and Karma Cannon. My philosphy is, going first, I want to draw engine, this decks Labrynth Combo's aren't stopped from Ash/Imperm, so playing through handtraps is easy, with Arias we hope they waste interruption on our Labrynth Monsters. We can build boards through, Ash/Imperm/Veiler and with Yubel we can play easily through Nibiru as well.
But going second, has always been Labrynth's weakness, playing through built up boards has always been a weakpoint, so we play to improve the decks going second weakness, which in MD you will often go second based on just the odds of a coinflip. If you go first, and endup drawing boardbreakers, you can use them as discard fodder or destory fodder for Shavarya.
Most Meta decks will be able to play through, Maxx C/Ash/Imperm, but most meta decks can't deal with boardbreaker cards that deny them a chance to chain. So if you would rather play Nib/Ash, I would remove 1/2 Karma Cannon and both Ultimate Slayer, Add 2 Ash/2Nib instead, however, you will likely find yourself in trouble going second into meta decks, can't always just rely on going first.
We utilise Yubel as our other method to counter handtraps, giving a monster negate that turns into a body on field or another monster negate on your opponents turn.
EndBoard Going First: Desirae/Phantom of Yubel/Rage>Little Knight/ A Trap Card or two and Big Welcome in grave that can spin anything my opponent controls like Chaos Angels etc.
2 Omni-Negates 1 Monster Negate, 1 SP Summon Link Off > 1 Banish + Banish till endphase + GY Activated Spin.
Going Second OTK: Desiare/Anguish>Accesscode = Lethal DMG, with Desiare on field the opponent will struggle to stop you, getting accesscode, when accesscode hits the field you get atleast 1-2 pops where the opponent cannot respond making OTKing very easy whilst using your opponents monsters to build it.
[Monsters]:
3x - [Lady Labrynth]
3x - [Arias Butler]
3x - [Arianna]
2x - [Stovie]
2x - [CooCoo Clock]
1x - [Lovely Labrynth]
Cornerstone of the deck, usually used as the main focus, but in this deck plays more of a support role too the powerful link monsters and Desirae.
2x - [Engraver]
1-2x - [Lacrima]
1x - [Lurrie]
One card combo into Desirae.
2x - [Maxx C]
2-3x - [Fuwalos]
1x - [Unchained Shavarya]
1x - [Yubel]
1x - [Spirit of Yubel]
Only handtraps are draw power, attempting to draw into boardbreakers. Shavarya is searched by Yama. Yubel & Spirit are required to create Phantom of Yubel.
[Spells]:
1x - [Tract]
2x - [Nightmare Throne]
2-3x - [Ultimate Slayer]
Tract is searchable by Engraver and is a one card Desirae combo. Nightmare Throne is one card combo into Phantom of Yubel. Ultimate Slayer is the best anti-meta card right now, completely beating out Fiendsmith, White Woods, Centuri-on, Yubel, Tenpai, Blue-Eyes.
[Traps]:
3x - Big Welcome Labrynth
3x - Infinite Impermanence
2x - Karma Cannon
1x - The Black Goat Laughs
1x - Dimensional Barrier
Big Welcome is just a far better Welcome Labrynth, so I run 0 Welcome Lab, because you will always want Big Welcome over it and they're recyclable with Lovely Labrynth. Impermanence helps board break and trigger lady from hand. Karma Cannon clears boards easily with Butler or Coo-Coo Clock. Black Goat is good discard fodder and has a powerful graveyard effect. Dimensional Barrier should be searched by lady and replenished with Lovely, in truth if you play right you can search and recycle all your traps, so other than karma cannon which is nice to have starting hand with Butler, all others are easily searchable.
