It fucking happened, KONMAI actually reprinted s:p little knight this year, twice at that, which is going to tank the price of this card. I know they didn't do it out of the goodness of their heart (jews lack them after all), so this means she's getting banned next year, however this won't stop me from buying the cheapest print available and making the most out of it
i still have my baronne in storage, which lets me make a few modifications to my deck.
First of all i changed the shaddoll ratios again, i'm unemployed right now so i've had a lot of time to play, and i realized after a week of thorough testing that hedgehog and beast were bricks through and through, whereas both wendi and squamata can get me to my ideal endboard assuming i opened aleister/meltdown/terraforming and shadow's light.
This cuts the number of bricks to just 3 (quem, cartesia and ariel) and technically lets me get rid of granguignol for another level 8 synchro or even a link, but sometimes i open aleister, shadow's light and ecclesia/fleur/maximus/veiler, which only lets me summon granguignol to dump garura for a draw and continue my plays. The endboard is significantly weaker, but it DOES play under nibiru, as mechaba comes out on exactly the 5th summon.
>why don't you toss apkallone/titaniklad, retard?
No point on doing so, i won't have the needed materials in GY to summon winda off of schism. Titaniklad will add fleur and she will be able to be summoned just fine with her own effect, but won't negate a monster as luluwalilith isn't considered a dogmatika monster.
Since i always synchro luluwalilith if i can, i briefly considered cutting something in favor of proskenion since the payoff is good (for example, it can banish promethean princess), but this time i legitimately need every single card in the extra
KONMAI please increase the limit to 20.
The invoked side only had a single change: caliga is now gone, not because it's a bad card, but my board is meant to interact with the opponent (mechaba, luluwalilith and dragite negate, s:p banishes then winda floodgates) and caliga restricts me to 1 effect per turn, plus i almost never get the chance to summon it alongside winda for a total lock.
Dogmatika punishment is gone, i kept ecclesia as an extra nadir target so the card won't be useless past turn 1, but even if she adds the trap i won't have anything to toss from the extra to pop, otherwise it'd be in place of monster reborn. Fleur came back because opening nadir, and only nadir, means i have to go for maximus and use it to toss titaniklad (who's also back) and apkallone.
Linkmail archfiend was pure cope to be honest, now that s:p is (going to be) cheap i can toss her in every single deck i own and call it a day, but even after she gets v& i'll still have
>>1239 as a choice, sure she will need two slots (closed moon and her), but IMO it's worth it. Here's hoping they don't rarity bump and short print it
of fucking course they will, waifu tax+actually a decent card+jewart's greed means she'll be a $50+ secret.
Will this be the final revision to this deck? Probably not, but i can proudly say that every single engine both works on its own and in tandem with each other, it's no longer "if i can't pull out this specific combo, which requires this specific hand, i scoop" like a lot of petdecks i've seen on ygoprodeck and youtube. The only truly bad hands i can think of would be 5 handtraps or 3 wendi, 1 ariel and another useless card like monster reborn/shadow's light.
