They brick and I kill them going second.

Ashed Draconet hoping to shut them down, they keep going, we went back and forth and I got them. Made an awkward illegal play with herz, but caught it. No IRS drawn all match.

Going to blitz some replays, meaning I intend to post the replay and the siding, but try to get through more matches rather than post up the typical notes, so I can move up to the higher slots and face better players. I may later revisit some of the replays and add notes though. We will see.

https://imgur.com/Br4yQLW DB user Wokky let me try out their Orcust Trickstar list, I'll be putting some adjustments to it after I try it a bit, as I imagine we have different metas and mentalities, as almost all players do, but for now, a starting draft!

I don't have a lot of toxic matches, but this is one of them. You want to get on my bad side, the whole group of "all people playing the same decks, meta sheep," group do it. Bonus points if you don't even know the rules of this game. That's my saltfest, and yeah, I was def not nice to them. I think having someone look down on people for playing the "trendy deck" is pathetic. I make plenty of misplays, and def noting some trends on my errors I'll have to pick up on.

In hindsight, while I still hate such users, I need to cool down. I can't let them get to my head. Apologized to them afterwards and explained the link issue. I think typing these things up helps, because even if I'm pissed, when I look back, how intelligent do I really feel bashing a user? For what, hating a deck/people? Am I any better for then counterhating them?

Main: -3 Heavy Storm Duster +2 Effect Veiler +1 Cosmic Cyclone
Side: -2 Dinowrestler Pankratops +2 Artifact Lancea -2 Effect Veiler -1 Cosmic Cyclone +3 Heavy Storm Duster
Seeing less Draco and Mine Burn, a bit more Orcust, adapting my side to reflect that, Cosmic is better going second and seems overall playable, duster was more of a hard backrow hater, but even with faker synergies, is just outclassed atm by faster removal main-wise, better sided.

I do not know how you were not already running Heavy Storm Duster, alongside Trap Trick for Backrow removal (Especially with Red Reboot / Wiretap being problems).
Also why even run Pot of Duality? It sucks in Altergeist, trust me.
No Trap Trick at all? It really helps get HSD for backrow, Manifestation for bringing back your power, or impermanence for negating issue monsters / negating a same column s/t

I will get my list, to show you.

Heavy storm duster was mained before, now it has been downgraded to sideboard status for not being that good in the main. Not the best disruption vs combo decks and not great going second vs many of them either. It's sided for the particular match-ups altergeists struggle with due to their floodgates. Trap trick is a card I have seen in some builds, but it leaves you far too open to evenly and reboot, especially now that we don't use mind crush atm. Using 2 manifestation is an unfortunate trend under trap trick, I am glad I no longer need desires so I could trim it to 1 and open it less.

Why do you play Altergeist Camouflage? The card has not seen much success, to the point where it is not even mentioned in lists playing altergeists as a card. It doesn't serve as negation and while its protection is cute we do already have an effect to bring it back we have enough of already, (manifestation). It would be hard enough to justify 1, let alone 3. Without a way to proactively send it to the GY, witch of the black forest is not a very good card. I'm not sure why you are not running clara to trigger it with this in mind for going second.

Duality has been a known staple in altergeist for a long time, run in topping list after list. It adds essential consistency both to the actual engine and to the trap cards used to support it. Consistency is a must for altergeists, and we do not rely on our special summon heavily on the first turn. if we can special summon, then we are in a good place and I will be happy to leave my duality dead, as my engine is already functioning. But my disruption is made on backrow which does not get cut off by duality, and the fakers summoned on the opposing turn rather than my own early on. It is essentially what witch of the black forest wished it could be, a way to get to your needed cards turn 1, while unable to directly go for the monsters, it will snatch for something.

Your sideboard only having 8 cards is astonishing for a deck that needs its side to face so many decks. Hand traps are a must for going second and to play under reboot. Inspector boarder as an out to the mirror is a bit outdated with alts falling back, not to mention pankratops being such a savage out when played, a card I only recently dropped. Boarder being cute going first under backrow as a stall method reboot could not out was a path that had crossed my mind and been used in other formats, but seems weaker now. I have focused my sideboard on holding the stronger spell/trap removal, hand traps, and board breakers for particular match-ups. Hey trunade, while nifty on backrow like that of sky strikers, is not going to intimidate many decks to that degree. You may gain a mild position with a melu poke or so, but their reestablishment will punish you. I am curious to see what it has done for you, as I'd think straight removing the backrow to be better. I would suggest playing ningirsu in the extradeck, as it can out untargetable threats at only 3 monsters usage and without a battle phase unlike borreload's 4 and BP. Needing say, a linkuriboh and a knightmare with the altergeist is not much of an issue for a deck with a root in melu and so many different names, might even get a co-linked pop and draw, lol.

Put it in since I'm going to make edits again. Need to remember to use my field spell when possible, and also to take into account the recent usage of the Paleozoic trap. Phant can be quite the mean monster, lol.

No it's a person that's using a non spam section to advertise their dueling, and looking for people to assist them with ideas. I assume that's why it's in serious discussion. Could DM the user also, which I advise in the future to avoid clogging their thread. :)

Yeah, I'm posting my duels, lists, ideas. It lets me better analyze them, look back, and be honest with myself. It also lets others chip in and improve my builds and thoughts.
