E-T.A.T. stands for "E-Teleport.Traptrix.Artifacts". I have not tested the deck at the moment, but the idea is to use E-Tele as an engine for access to Synchro monsters with non-destruction removal effects, such as Michael and Underground Arachnid. However, I don't know much about ".A.T." engines so I'm not sure if I should be going for an "extended" Artifact engine with more Beagalltach and Ignitions, or actually drop them instead.

 

I'm running 1 more Trap Hole Trap than Myrmeleos because I'm uncomfortable with running the same number of X cards as their searchers, but if this is a suboptimal choice I will change for a 3:3 Myrmeleo/Trap Hole ratio. The same goes for the 4th Psychic monster in the deck.

 

I want to test Psychic Jumper as it gives access to Naturia Barkion and in theory it can be used as an emergency problem solver in case I, let's say, draw a Psychic and a E-Tele but no other monsters, of revive it along another Psychic through Soul Charge.

 

Finally, I feel the Extra and Side deck could need some work, and there are some monsters that I would like in the Extra (e.g. Tiras) but don't know what to drop, so I will appreciate any suggestions.

 

Thoughts?

I'm wondering why Krebons over commander, when 7 and 8 have a wider array of options compared to 6 and 7.

[Darj]

Well, as I mentioned in the OP, one of the deck goals is to have access to Synchros like Arachnid and Michael, and you need Krebons for that. It is true that 7 & 8 have more options, but still, it's not like I have space in the Extra Deck for all of them and I'm already struggling even with the 6 & 7 options; I guess I could run 1 Commander as the 4th Psychic for access to those Level 8s, but Extra Deck space is an issue.

-3 Krebons

 

+1 Jumper

+1 Re-cover

 

Extra:

-1 Moonlight Rose

-1 Arachnid

 

+1 Naturia Beast

+1 Armades

 

 

Dropping Barkions and swapping Psychics feels so good, which is why I am running a 2nd copy of Jumper. Testing Re-Cover for access to Beast and Armades: the latter being somewhat relevant for its ability of bypassing Shaddolls and Hands, and the former should be self explanatory. I might test Commanders later for access to Stardust Dragon and I don't know what else. Scrap Dragon perhaps?

+2 Commander

 

+1 Stardust Dragon

+1 Scrap Dragon

+1 Crimson Blader

 

Tested the Commander for access to Synchro 8s and so far they are more effective than the Synchro 5s, or at least Stardust seems to do better than Armades/Beast. Also Commander can beat with its pseudo 1900-ATK so it is not as dead as Re-Cover, plus it can make Black Rose along a Traptrix. Currently running Scrap Dragon but will swap it for Hot Red Dragon once it is officially released.
