I am presenting researched facts along side speculative arguments based on those facts
- Crimson + Bone: 2-card starter combo - 4 interruptions: Abyss, Dis Pater, Rain, Zone - 2 cards from hand This is a high-roll combo that is rarely used
Why risk your investment on flimsy, unreliable sleeves
It does most of what a Fiend/Maggot does with their EtB effects and then it is better at staying in play, far better at blocking, enables raid, controls planeswalkers and is generally a pain in the arse
C Common Puppet Parade X TRAP If your opponent controls more monsters than you do: Special Summon "Gimmick Puppet" monsters with different names from your Deck, up to the difference, then, if your opponent's LP are at least 2000 higher than yours, you can Set 1 "Rank-Up-Magic" Normal Spell directly from your Deck
It is still hands down the most cards you can get for the mana overall but it comes with so many penalties that it is hard to use well
