Asian Calendar Animals | ZTB Post-GBT11

Can I just praise Zodiacs? No, really, praise. After seeing the disappointment of early ZTB support, I wasn't feeling too fond of the deck. To be honest it sorta felt... bad during the first wave. The only really good card ZTB got was Split Pegasus, and even then there weren't many good targets for him to call.

But look where we are now.

ZTB's really great now. Hell, it's even been contesting with Time Leap for tops in Japan. Time Leap is still the superior build, of course, but ZTB can now hold its own ground as a Gear Chronicle deck that's separate from the "Cancer Meta Build". It's a very powerful, very consistent beatdown deck that gets the job done and gets it done well. It's very akin to Gold Paladin, which some of my Gurguit-main friends are pretty pissed about lol.

The World I Truly Wish For | Demiurge Post-GBT11

Okay, so now that GBT-11 has been out, for like, two weeks? I finally decided to stop being lazy and write this post about Post-GBT11 Demiurge. Been dead on the wiki for awhile, so I might as well make myself useful for once.

Demiurge got huge buffs to his arsenal and now he's definitely viable as a deck. Way more than the pure meme it used to be. It hits hard and it hits fast. I've been loving the deck so much after the set dropped and winning with the deck has never felt so satisfying or consistent.

Many things have changed for the deck after Set 11. To name a few:

• MonoZTB is now a viable choice when it comes to Demiurging, along with the Idea Drone build.
• First stride Demiurge is a common occurence, albeit restricted to the MonoZTB build.
• Demiurge has actual plays it can perform pre-Demiurge
• The deck has double the amount of ZTB triggers available to it
• Demiurge can potentially go off twice in one game

Demiurge Misconceptions and Deckbuilding

So uh, Demiurge support came and there's been a good amount of talk about it.

I couldn't believe all the things people were saying.

There was so much wrong with the Demiurge advice people were giving... I'm making it my job to fix all of those misconceptions.

Let's begin.
