Great futuristic Salamangreat list specially once we get Dugales or how I call him Douglas. Here is the deck in action
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98qDf16-knQ and below are card explanations.
Engine: MONSTER Starters and extenders
- 1x Lady Debug - searches entire deck luckly the deck isn't to normal summon reliant (she is limited).
- 3x Salamangreat Gazelle - a 1 card Mirage stalio at worst. The best salamangreat monster.
- 3x Salamangreat Spinny - Do play 3, it has synergy with cynet mining and you always wanna draw it.
- 3x Salamangreat Foxy - Normal summon of the deck. But you can also use it for the second effect in order to make a R3 by the end of a combo (bamboozle) just make sure not to pop your own fieldspell XD.
- 1x Salamangreat Jack Jaguar - Typically summoned under Sunlight Wolf, helps with R4 plays. He is what I call a perfect powerful one off.
- 1x Salamangreat Falco - He is sort of a diff version of Jack jaguar (Sort of why you only play one of each). Another level 4 which revives himself, but he can also retrieve your Salamangreat spells/traps from the graveyard.
- 1x Salamangreat Fowl - He is a free level 4 (key level) Monster Drop. He increases the deck ceiling with him in a deck you can end on multiple traps + r4 like baguska with high consistency. He is quite searchable and 1 is all you need. He can also send Salamangreat monsters from the hand to the graveyard (Which is sometimes handier then the actual not once per turn effect) to prevent your opponent from activating set cards.
- 1x Salamangreat Meer - a free monster drop which isn't correct level. With Dugales in a game he gets a slight boost because dugales can draw into him or 3x circle / 3x mining. Still a great OPT extender.
- 1x Flame buffalo - Just 1 because I prefer summoning foxy/debug. You don't need no more.
- 1x Salamangreat Foxer. We are in a backrow heavy format, she combos well with Heatleo and foxy. Better of going second, This deck between Fowl, foxer, foxy and Heatleo has ridicilus backrow hate.
- 1x Backup Secretary - can be another handtrap if one wishes. She is a free level 3 cyberse drop, and no she doesn't overlap with Mirage stalio restriction as she doesn't activate.
- 1x Crusadia Reclusia - a free level 3 fire effect monster Drop which can pop anything She can be another handtrap if one wishes because there is lots of anti destruction specifically in this format. Granted I am not satisfied with many handtraps.
Going second cards - I am running just 9 so in average you should see slightly more then 1 per hand. Some salamangreat engine monsters such as Reclusia, Fowl, Foxie and foxer are already good going second cards. The deck can play through board to an extent so I didnt go for to many going first hate.
- 2x effect veiler - better then Impermanence so that deck doesn't become to fragile to reboot.
- 3x ash blossom - Sunlight wolf can add it to the hand. Sometimes you even use it for linking / r3 plays.
- 2x droll - just a good handtrap.
- 2x super polymerization - for Salamangreat Violer Chimera and Starving Venom Fusion Dragon.
The best cards in the deck
- 3x Salamangreat circle - A quickplay searcher which can be retrieved back with Sunlight wolf and falco, it can also protect your links which you need on a field to maximize your trap threat.
- 3x Cynet mining - Discard salamanagreat > search gazelle > special summon gazelle because you just discarded a salamangreat. This card says special summon gazelle from the deck. Fantastic card.
- 1x Foolish burial - there are like 5 good targets or so and some people aren't playing this card. It often times sends spinny so that gazelle can send a trap.
- 1x Salamangreat hearth - holy fk this card is scarry good. It can summon monsters from the hand / grave each turn or mass summon if your Link monsters are "Lets say Geminilink summoned".
- 1x Fury of fire (Its a salamangreat card) - This card is not out yet in a TCG but in short its like another version of Salamangreat hearth. So just play 2 hearth till we get this card. Oh and the restrictions on this card don't matter because it says "for" the rest of this turn and it usually gives you a free r4 / r3 at the end of a combo or gives you a comeback / follow up / otk play... quite versitaile card.
- Salamangreat Sanctuary - People call this card a brick but what it allows is really powerful. In short you can summon the same salamangreat on top of that same salamangreat and then your other salamangreat cards and that monster have bonus effects (I call it Geminilink summon).
- 1x Salamangreat Rage - Pops bunch of card can be milled then added back with Falco, Sunlight Wolf.
- 2x Salamangreat Roar - Countertrap which negates anything. Can set itself if you "Geminilink summon" your link.
EXTRA deck
- Salamangreat Violer Chimera. Super poly destroys a mirror match, I am siding fusion of fire. OTK card
- Starving venom fusion dragon. Super poly target for Thunderdragon / Orcust boards
- Number 41. I reccomend siding dweller when he is bad but he is such an annoying card to deal with
- Number 60: Dugales of Forgotten time - A REASON WHY THIS BUILD IS FUTURISTIC Dugales can extend your plays with first effect which triggers falco btw, or he can revive Tapir for lulz. And it can also help you OTK with his last doubling attack effect. Until he gets out I reccomend update jammer combo for OTK
- Salamangreat mirage stalio - An invoker for Salamangreat which also acts as monster removal. Only 1 because Jack jaguar keeps puting him back in the deck
- Bamboozle - he bamboozles monster effects and makes both players draw a card. R3 Distruption
- Borreload - to out problematic stuff
- 2x Salamangreat Heatleo - Outs backrow, manipulates the attack of one monster on the field if Geminilinksummoned (Ofc you need more then 1 to geminilinksummon)
- 3x Sunlight Wolf - This is the most important Salamangreat card. He ensures you have a follow up play for the next turn usually by adding back gazelle unless falco bounces her, also he sets up your backrow
- 2x Veilynx - you do need 2 for the combos sometimes. There is no space for the third. she can protect your salamangreat monsters from destruction
- Hiita the blazing fire charmer - she is a shortcut for Heatle if your opponent has a fire monster in the gravyeard, upon being destroyed she searches fire monsters
Side deck
Side deck should be, 1 fusion of fire to otk going second, mystic mine hate, handtraps for combo decks, dweller instead of 41, Knightmare phoenix if you are up against heavy and I mean heavy backrow deck
Salamangreats have fantastic battle manipulator Raccoon. this card can fk up any deck which wants to gain advantage in battlephase or Otk you. So this can be sided against Trains, Lunalight, and Crusadia to stop the Otks or against Idk deskbot 004 Esque monsters. I rec siding one because if you ever notice a match-up he ll work in you ll be able to access him since he is searchable.
Salamangreats also have fantastic comeback card. Salamangreat Mole. He can help you comeback after evenly / double exciton effect. so in a matchups where the opponent blows up your board why not have this card in a sidedeck to combat this
