Notes & Combos

Predaplant is back ! And without I:P or Goddess !

I played 10 hours of Predaplant in a single session, from Legend 4 to KOG, and it's incredible to say I can't get bored with this deck. The grind was pretty easy, with several +10 win chains, and a loss here and there to break them.

Predaplant remains an incredible deck in the meta, with free wins on turn 1, for all synchro and XYZ decks without exception, as well as News, AG, and Heroes (yes, there are still a lot of them on the ladder). Turn 2, on the other hand, is much more complicated, but once you get through it, you generally win. The hardest to get through are obviously Shaddoll and Utopia, because of Dweller. Despia and SS seem to be MU skills, but I haven't encountered enough of them to say so. I haven't encountered Gusto or Chimera once.

Now, let's talk about the deck. As you can see, I don't have any I:P or Goddess, so what do I do for my end board ? Simple, I don't use any interrupts, because in any case, the skills will just cancel out the poor Lyrilusc you put on the end board for free, which has disappeared from my deck list. My end board is therefore as follows:

• Chimera + Squid Drosera + Byblisp/Sarraceniant (one of them depending on my hand) on board
• Predaplanet in GY
• One Byblisp/Sarraceniant on hand (the one not on the field) Obviously, depending on the opponent, my end board will change, but this is generally the end board I use every game. Since there's a character limit, I can't explain in detail why I like this board, so I tried to record a good replay for each MU I encountered on the ladder.

Comments on certain cards : Predapractice is always used turn 1 to build my board, and Squid Drosera came out every game, meaning Predaplast was never used during my run. Sunavalon is used to send Squid Drosera from the field to the GY; its effect works. It's also used to facilitate the summoning of Unchained, but it almost never came out. I used Vimana (which came out once in three games; I put it at the end) because I had a free ED slot. I had put a second Starving Venom, but it never came out. It's up to you to choose what you want to use. I started with Droplet until halfway through the run, but since it was never used, I preferred to use more Cosmic Cyclone.
