VDagger is the lifesaver here. Maybe try tested grabow with it?

vs Denial grabbow: 16-4. Some ridiculously good luck for me at times, but this deck has a strong showing. Their grabbies can be food for our pus, Vdagger seals the game single-handedly if not dealt with and multiple grabbies can rush hard. I'd say this is the a-ok we need!
Tested the above vs Dark Domin, 11-9 for me and 9-11 from jenk's tests. Gonna try to see if replacing an Explosion for PU and upping a pillar helps. These matches are often really close, with about 3-4 of the losses by a single turn. The other 5 are usually due to subpar draws, maybe PU can help with that?
^Tried this, 4-6. Hand filled with PU led to 3 of those losses. Perhaps make a switch back to rushy, checking it vs denial grabbow on the way?
11-11, Recluse isn't that great. Back to the old

Aether grabbow vs Gravy Grabbow: RNG dependant 6-4. Ours is faster, but it really depends on draws. Deflags over Lightnings would help, need to see how much they help vs DBH in live testing

Spoiler for Gravytal:

Zap gravytal vs vampsaders : 7-3 vs AI. Depends entirely on the reliability of them getting (or not) their combo out early.

Rushy Gravytal vs Vampsaders : 4-6 : evenly matched indeed

Gravytal vs Vader Sader - 4-4 Evenly matched, they just need to get combo out to beat us to a pulp. Unless we get very fast Guardtal.

Faster fractal = better TTW, but 3 gravy sources is important to hit turn 2 Guard.
3 gravy sources seems like the best vs Devtosis AI too. Ofco AI doesn't mito Devs, but I still think TTW is a good metric on which is better. Woo, that's all the finalizing needed! ^^

vs DBH: 5-6, 3-3 going first and 2-3 going second. Very, VERY iffy.

Spoiler for Devtal:

Devtal vs Nymphcord: 4-6 I won first 4 in a row, and then went into losing positions on last 6. They just need to get fast NT out alongside disco, and then they can either rush us down with nymph spam or use ambers to lockdown. Fractal is absolutely essential to win here, but their denial makes it hard to use a fractal. I'd say that facing Gen here really discourages devtal.

Spoiler for Entropy Duos:

Discord Tinkerer vs Nymphcord: 8-2 Discord is a very powerful advantage since we get it first, and later dragons can come down to finish the game very fast.

Disco Tinkerer vs Water Dark Domin - Roughly 6-4 (I kept track in head, might be a bit of)

MA vs Dark domin: 6-4 (If we draw 2-3 dims in top 12 cards with quanta, it's usually gg. If we don't and instead draw all the rush, still pretty strong. Be sure to not playpillars unless needed; 6 is more that enough to play a card each turn)
MA vs Nymphcord: 7-3 (they're to klutzy to beat our damage usually)


MA vs Earth's Denial Grabbow: 4-6
MA is strong, but the grabbow is consistently a turn or two faster thanks to Disco.

I expect Air will switch strategies vs us now to something that can counter a Dark-Domin counter. Maybe SoFree or Sancstall? The more I think about it, the more likely Sofree seems. I'll test AM duo with Pandas.

Fire tinkerer manages 15-5; its CC is really hard for DBH to rush through.


Monofire Tinker vs Dim Fractix: 6-9 If they can get fractix out early we're dead. CCing phoenixes is an option, but after a certain time they can just stomp by fractalling our dragons.
Monofire Tinker vs Denial Immo: 7-3 Decent due to immo's inconsistencies.

9-1, it's really lopsided against their PUGons. Theirs is not well balanced, let's see how a streamlined build functions.

Fog is a huge aid when he doesn't draw steal, but their sideboard domins usually have room to keep those in. I think Air will be on the search for a perfect counter tho, so let's take a look at their other options.

vs Denial grabbow: 16-4. Some ridiculously good luck for me at times, but this deck has a strong showing. Their grabbies can be food for our pus, Vdagger seals the game single-handedly if not dealt with and multiple grabbies can rush hard. I'd say this is the a-ok we need!

Tested the above vs Dark Domin, 11-9 for me and 9-11 from jenk's tests. Gonna try to see if replacing an Explosion for PU and upping a pillar helps. These matches are often really close, with about 3-4 of the losses by a single turn. The other 5 are usually due to subpar draws, maybe PU can help with that?

^Tried this, 4-6. Hand filled with PU led to 3 of those losses. Perhaps make a switch back to rushy, checking it vs denial grabbow on the way?

11-11, Recluse isn't that great. Back to the old

MA vs Earth's Denial Grabbow: 4-6
MA is strong, but the grabbow is consistently a turn or two faster thanks to Disco.

Spoiler for Hidden:

Discord Tinkerer vs Nymphcord: 8-2 Discord is a very powerful advantage since we get it first, and later dragons can come down to finish the game very fast.

Devtal vs Nymphcord: 4-6 I won first 4 in a row, and then went into losing positions on last 6. They just need to get fast NT out alongside disco, and then they can either rush us down with nymph spam or use ambers to lockdown. Fractal is absolutely essential to win here, but their denial makes it hard to use a fractal. I'd say that facing Gen here really discourages devtal.

Going first: 2-3

Flashy, but too slow. Might manage 50-50 with some better balancing.

vs Air Dark Domin: 9-11. 4-6 going first, 5-5 going second.
Fog is a huge aid when he doesn't draw steal, but their sideboard domins usually have room to keep those in. I think Air will be on the search for a perfect counter tho, so let's take a look at their other options.

vs BNymph Denialbow: 3-2 Decent, adding one more zap would make it a great counter.

Spoiler for Hidden:

Pbow vs Fun litt'el ghostmare counter : 5-5. Even matchup regardless, with tough decisions. If they get pharaoh combo down it's gg for us.
