TheOnlyRealBeef, if you weren't making this for Trials, anything you'd change from the original version you posted?
Well if it weren't for trials it would be for war :
P But without any such restriction it might be able to use -1 or 2 Dark Pendulum and possibly +1 or 2 Explosion, but that would sacrifice consistency for versatility (you can deal with more threats but are more likely to get stuck with a 0 pendulum draw). This because a single wings/fog/dusk/phase shield could already stop this deck, luckily, the ai was stupid enough not to play wings/phase shield when no damage was on the field so one could still OHKO mono aether.
