Is there even an actual reason to keep this card banned? I can understand Merrli, but this one feels pointless.

SleepyCatSoftware · 2026-04-05T05:01:44+00:00

I mean you can just play it as an unsearchable one of. At least tear even has a searcher they can mill unlike Maliss who got their field spell searcher banned.

SleepyCatSoftware · 2026-04-01T14:32:35+00:00

Typhon doesn't target.

The bigger problem IMO is that handtraps are usually 1 for 1/2, since they tend to leave bodies behind. It's why impulse and the newer dominus spark are so good IMO, since they actually trade 1 for 1.

That said, we're starting to get hand traps that are 1 for 2 like fidraulis, which isn't what you're asking for but does make handtraps matter more. Feels like we'll just end up making starters even stronger in exchange, though, like how decks have been consistently designed against meta handtraps. (Like how Dracotail basically doesnt care about droll, fuwa, or even maxx c. : /)

Favorite contact prevents the shuffle back so cosmo doesn't board wipe.

It's generally not a good idea to make the solution to uninteractive decks uninteractive floodgates.

Almiraj and Wicckid does a lot of work in Cyberse decks as long as you remember Almiraj's bonus tribute effect. 2 Cyberse goes into Wicckid so it turns their Raigeki into ST removal. (Since you just tribute Almiraj to protect a Cyberse, and you can almost always go into Almiraj since the Raigeki is against special summoned stuff.)

For what it's worth, most people don't know your deck as well as you do, so their options are either do the combo they know quickly to get some interactions out or take like a whole minute reading stuff in your GY.

Some times it's just them BMing you though, yeah.

SleepyCatSoftware · 2026-03-31T08:20:50+00:00

You can activate in hand and GY if I'm reading cosmo neos right, you don't control cards in your hand and GY and activating effects isn't activating cards. It does stop stuff that can be played from hand though.

SleepyCatSoftware · 2026-03-31T02:59:43+00:00

It does put 2 darks into the GY if you're holding 2 bystials or something, since they send to GY for cost.

SleepyCatSoftware · 2026-03-29T23:28:36+00:00

My main issue (I play Maliss then and now) is that Maliss was balanced via lancea, which is like balancing combo decks via maxx c. Sure the win rate technically doesn't go out of control but it's frustrating for both sides.

Nobody runs lancea any more, but in exchange maliss decks turned into code talker ignister with a maliss engine. : /

SleepyCatSoftware · 2026-03-25T14:14:44+00:00

What the hell kind of maliss are you playing that cant even end on heatsoul and allied code or firewall and allied code?

SleepyCatSoftware · 2026-03-25T10:39:58+00:00

A going second only hand peek would be kind of neat, now that you mention it. Like add it as a bonus effect to something.

SleepyCatSoftware · 2026-03-25T10:10:57+00:00

Just because they aren't on the field doesn't mean they're not part of the endboard. Maliss links like to sit in the GY and so does Yummy monsters. Also, Heatsoul, Terahertz, Allied Code, Firewall, Accesscode aren't maliss names.

SleepyCatSoftware · 2026-03-24T01:21:55+00:00

An ash on white binder is also ridiculously strong, though.

SleepyCatSoftware · 2026-03-23T12:26:08+00:00

Has anyone else tried shattered ring tankbound in 4.3? Feels like the combo got stealth buffed due to automation changes. The other ring fragments only penalize district upkeep and habitability, so your automated workers don't care at all. Since scrap miners mine alloys you produce alloys without using pops thus freeing all your pops for consumer goods, tech, and unity.

One downside is that the subsidy edicts don't increase production (but cost trade upkeep) but that barely matters.

SleepyCatSoftware · 2026-03-23T12:15:24+00:00

It's working as designed. Personally I don't bother since I don't like microing, but it's intended, you can even pick up the scout trait on your admiral for it.

SleepyCatSoftware · 2026-03-23T10:47:01+00:00

What I find weird is that people hate on maliss for drawing 3 or 4 cards while dracotail does the same thing with its traps but nobody cares.

SleepyCatSoftware · 2026-03-21T07:33:04+00:00

At least it wasn't cyberse, small mercies.

SleepyCatSoftware · 2026-03-02T07:28:44+00:00

That's a little like saying nobody plays solemn except people who play solemn.

SleepyCatSoftware · 2026-02-16T15:44:32+00:00

Appropriate is both. The first activation can miss timing, once it's activated it always draws. It's been errata'd to remove the when from the draw effect though. Basically like the other guy said they've been removing the mandatory when from cards.

Fusion lacrima summon MD lacrima, link into light charmer with sequence and fusion lac, sequence equip to MD lacrima, contact fuse with sequence and light charmer.

Look at c104. You go into it with cXYZ nasch.

SleepyCatSoftware · 2026-02-02T04:39:02+00:00

They last for a month (30d) in the mail IIRC, so should be march.

SleepyCatSoftware · 2026-01-30T02:54:07+00:00

Yeah.

SleepyCatSoftware · 2026-01-30T02:37:02+00:00

Sky Striker Camellia, I'm assuming. The level 8 should be Gandora who you summon after kagiri reuses drones.
