Synchron

Hey Everyone, it’s your favorite underdog plot armor duelist….uhhh…me I hope lol. Coming at you with another synchron build. I’ve been working on the balance of consistency and power for this deck and took me a good dozen duels and to really think what it needed.

So without further ado, here’s the build:

Thoughts:

Reason why I’m running 2 tuning instead of 3 because I’ve had a hard time trying to figure out what to cut in this build as everything is pretty important and tuning just came to mind. It’s a very useful searcher but there’s a point where consistency is good enough and could leave room for other tools like disruption.

Leaning more into disruption gave me another idea on how to play this deck. Shooting Star’s effect protects my cards from card destruction opt and there are other forms of removal that are common such as bounce or banish so many believe it’s not that useful. Then Mst came to mind and how everyone plays that (almost everyone and isn’t that the point?). I can use Shooting Star to protect my backrow.

The mentioned play counters a couple popular strategies like the harpies hunting ground so I can actually use backrow or the clock tower where they might try to pop it with mst.

I’m sure there’s going to be comments about this play getting baited or I’m supposed to use formula’s effect to summon Shooting Star or perhaps I’m missing out on forcing out one of their cards. Personally, I haven’t really come across my shooting star getting baited in this way and quick plays like book of moon could affect my materials outside the main phase anyways. The most common situation for me is just getting my backrow blasted and then activating formula at an awkward time. Of course there are situations where keeping formula and stardust on board will be better but that’s more of a matchup thing like against Thunder Dragons or something.

I’ve been testing out a lot in ranked and some point battles. I’m really liking its performance as it’s more of what I’m looking for in strong boards. I’d run book but I don’t have it. I’m still working on getting more mst (I updated it so I have 2 mst now)

Thanks for reading all that. See you guys whenever and wherever I suppose 🙂 :hand: .
