Labrynth GOATTTT + walbaz engine ig

SEP 21 UPDATE: With framelord omega's extremely unfortunate ban in the recent banlist, this deck loses a lot of power, I've opted to use Stardust Dragon - Victim Sanctuary and Stardust Dragon for two additional (conditional) negates that will be summoned under the same conditions as you would have summoned framelord. I'll be testing alternatives over time but for how it's looking right now, it's between the dragons and Berserker of the Tenyi. Yeah, I know, they just don't hit the same, but that's just what we gotta deal with when playing with rogue decks :/. I'll update this deck if I find something I like more.

Virus turbo + hand rip central it's soooo fun.

If you're using this on Master Duel, you 1000000% want to run at least 2 copies of Dimensional Barrier AND Maxx "C", it is criminal that neither of them are banned and you definitely want to be using them, or you'll intentionally be putting yourself at a disadvantage. Even though it puts you at 43 cards it's worth it, trust me.

Feel free to swap Crimson Call for Soul Resonator or to just run them both if you don't mind 41 cards, I've been using soul without call for a bit now and find it to be quite bricky and often finding soul at inconvenient times. Side out songs for charmies, do NOT run monster hand traps and songs in the same deck you will NOT have a good time. Also feel free to swap any side cards for hand traps of your liking, do keep in mind most staple monster hand traps have negative synergy with dominus cards as they lock you out of activating effects of specific monster attributes when activating from your hand, however, it is important to remember that you can still special summon cards like Incredible Ecclesia, the Virtuous even if you activated Dominus Impulse from your hand since it's not considered an activated ability. This is extremelyyyy important as she is a level 4 tuner and one of the only two tuners in the deck, allowing you to synchro her with either lady for a level 12, Arianna for a level 8 or any furniture piece for a level 5, 6, or 7 respectively.

The extra deck is free for you to change to your liking, the only important cards there are Muckraker From the Underworld, Chaos Angel, and maybe Rahamu, Envoy of the Sacred Tome though she only fits the extremely niche scenario of you drawing both Lovely Labrynth of the Silver Castle and a way to easily get two bodies on the board. Note that normal summoning Fallen of the White Dragon does not lock you into fusions and synchros and still allows you to special summon ecclesia.

YES, this deck doesn't run either Ariane or Arias. With a deck as frail as Labrynth, often losing the game on the spot to a single well timed Ash and a bad hand, Ariane and Arias provide unnecessary points of interaction that raise more risk than the level of reward I'd like. Feel free to run them if you'd like. If you're extremely lucky Arias can pull off some disgusting plays like a turn 0 virus if you top deck her, Lady and any virus.

All of the fusion monsters are Dogmatika Punishment targets all fit to niche scenarios, feel free to drop them if you drop punishment, though remember to include some sort of way to save either lady on the off-chance that the opponent manages to banish them, either in your main deck or extra deck.

Fallen of the White Dragon synchros into The Crimson King then searches Crimson Gaia (or Vision Resonator) to search for either Arianna the Labrynth Servant or whatever piece of furniture you're missing that works with whatever hand you have at the moment (Labrynth Stovie Torbie is often the best all-rounder).


Some niche scenarios off the top of my head that are good to have at the back of your mind:

LOVELY IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF THIS DECK. KEEP HER AS SAFE AS POSSIBLE. 

If you have either welcome labrynth trap set and plan on summoning Lady Labrynth of the Silver Castle and know the opponent does not have Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring in their hand, you almost always want to summon Arianna the Labrynth Servant instead, THEN search Lady via Arianna's on summon effect, then SS Lady from the hand. Sure this drops lady down in defense but that barely matters as it opens you up to a few very strong lines:
- You can link into Muckraker From the Underworld to discard and reborn either Lovely or the same Lady that you just used to make Muckraker. Note that Muckraker TARGETS for cost, not discards, meaning you don't discard if the effect is negated. Unfortunately this does not activate Labrynth Cooclock's reborn effect but there's rare cases where you already have Lovely on the field.
- Make any link 2 (remember that Welcome Labrynth locks you into fiend monsters for 2 turns if you just used it)
- If ecclesia, vision or Labrynth Chandraglier are on the field, you can make whatever matching synchro you want with them, or a rank 4 xyz, or Chaos Angel using Chandragalier + either Lovely or Lady.  

Labrynth Labyrinth is suuper strong here as it allows you to instantly reborn whatever card you tributed for any virus card within the same chain and allows Welcome Lab to pop a card and trigger Lovely's pop effect. While it is strong and I prefer to keep it in, it isn't mandatory and can be ditched.

When going first, if you top deck both Labrynth Cooclock and another piece of furniture and you didn't draw Arianna the Labrynth Servant, activate Cooclock's ability from the hand first then activate the furniture's effect from the hand 2nd or in a new chain, this allows Cooclock to SS ITSELF TO THE FIELD (do NOT add it to the hand) and use itself as the required "Labrynth" monster on the field to activate the Big Welcome Labrynth that you set with the other furniture. You almost always want to SS Lovely Labrynth of the Silver Castle via this line and recycle big welcome from the gy via her effect.

While it is rare to summon RDA via Crimson King's effect, if it manages to survive until your battle phase you've basically won the game. It isnt extremely important though, feel free to ditch it for something else.

Omega is there to give you another hand rip in the event that you top deck both Walbaz and any way to get into Labrynth lines, this often leads to you getting 3 hand rips before your opponent gets to their first main phase.

If you're going second and top deck both a furniture piece and Songs of the Dominators, you're able to chain your furniture piece to songs and discard another trap to apply the second effect, allowing you to search your deck for another dominus card (usually Impulse). However songs can be ash'd even if you don't have a trap in your gy, heartbreaking stuff.

If you're using this on Master Duel and manage to get both Lady and set either Welcome Lab trap on turn 1, do NOT activate it until the opponent uses their first card and reveals what deck they're playing. When they do, you want to activate the set trap, chain Lady to it and set D-Barrier. It's super toxic, I know, but it's what you have to do to survive when using rogue decks. If the set card was:
- Welcome Lab: SS Arianna, then search Cooclock, then activate Cooclock's effect from hand, then activate D-Barrier and ban whatever ED type their deck focuses on.
- Big Welcome Lab: You can either SS Arianna and bounce either another monster you don't need to be on the field (or bounce Lady and SS herself from the hand) and follow the same line as Welcome Lab, or you can SS Cooclock and bounce itself, OR if you manage to reborn Cooclock prior to this you can SS Lovely to bounce Cooclock and get a free pop.
^ This is rare but usually an instant win against decks like KT, Elfnote, and any deck that heavily relies on the ED to get an end board that doesn't fall over to a stiff breeze.   

This was me intentionally trying to keep this brief and I'm already over 1400 words... lol. As you can probably tell, I LOVE this deck and would love to talk more in-depth about it.

First of all, if you're still here, thank you! If you'd like to ask questions, chat about the deck or are just looking for some advice on it (or if you have some advice for me!) feel free to hit me up on discord! @mankanshoku (same as my username here).
If you would like to add me on Master Duel and see the deck in action, my ID is 021-418-829. More times than not I will be using Labrynth if you see me in a duel and want to spectate. (Yes, I do sit around plat-diamond, I am too lazy to submit myself to the rng hell master rank grind.)
