Actually working on some karakuris, other than the roid deck.
Of course the roid one is meant to be only fun, while this can easily be tier 1.
You know I don't like mainstream things, but karakuris are, along with infernities, the only decks I used at least once in each banned from when they were released.
Still, against the mainstream itself, I'm playing a build focused on +1s, baiting and mind gaming.
The deck is kinda good, since it does play 3 ninishi, obviously, to go into insta synchro, 3 inashichi, to +1 at every time, 3 anatomies, +1s on the road, and baits out your opponent MSTs, 3 Cash Cache, search what you need, still a 0, but really good, since it fuels anatomy, too, and searches lots and lots of pieces for the combo, 3 safe zones, protection, on beast mainly, but even other things, and is a really useful card.
Let's just say on of my ordinary hand:
1 Anatomy, 1 Cash Cache, 1 Inashichi and 3 other random cards.
You know how many pluses this one is? NS Inashichi and search (+1) cash cache, activate anatomy, activate cash cache (+1-1=0), search random cards for your comboes next turn, usually either inashichi or ninishi (0+1=+1), activate another one and search for inashichi or ninishi, based on what you already have in your hand (+1-1+1=+1), send anatomy to the grave (+1-1=0) and draw 2 (0+2=+2).
This is a standard one. Consider that everything in this combo is searchable and played in 3 awesome copies. If you have a ninishi in your hand, too, this play goes into beast, with a set-up next turn for barkion (searchin sazank in place of inashichi) and could have made you draw a safe zone, making you sure to win that game in most cases (in this meta, the only thing I can think of that can counter this combo is lyla or ryko, or other monsters/traps that do destroy spell/traps. Still, making barkion should be a good enough protection, and having some starlight road against BRD is always useful.
And, what if we add another card to that combo?
2 Anatomy and 1 Cash Cache/1 Anatomy and 2 Cash Cache, and 1 inashichi. I think I don't even need to explain this, it's just that you draw 2 more cards losing one, so another +1, ending it up with a +3.
I actually like a lot karakuris, in the same build they can go into OTK or into control, not considering how easy is to combo doing both a giant monster that +1s you off every turn (bureido) and beast.
What's more, they're really versatile. Sazank can kill Laggia easily, improving your match-ups against Rabbit, but it's not the only thing, it can kill lots of things only to minus the opponent and making them lose their cards. And, yeah, it does send, so you can use it easily on zenmaines and maestroke, even tiras if you happen to encounter it, and even stardust that is seeing some more play with 3 teleports.
Yup, good deck, I'll use it for long time, I believe. Tomorrow I'll post the actual list.
