~Combo Theory~

All your combos stem from Ostinato with Starry Knight coming in once your scales are fully set-up:

Base combo: Ostinato summon Bacha the Melodious Maestra by sending both Couplet and Refrain the Melodious Songstresses > Bacha summons a copy of Refrain from your Deck > Refrain adds Couplet > Couplet effect upon being added summon back the Couplet in your Graveyard > Couplet Scale effect add Melodious Concerto > Concerto fuse Scale Couplet and a Refrain for Bacha > both Fusion materials become Scales > make Dracossack (Tokens into 2x Link Spiders > both Spiders into G Golem Crystal Heart > Heart reborns a copy of Spider > Spider and Heart into Heatsoul) or Odd-Eyes Absolute Dragon. This last part will always result in a body being brought back by Bacha and Concerto drawing 1. Before Pendulum Summoning always make sure to Link away your Melodious to generate more resources.
