I tried needlebug. I don't like it. Mid-late game (which is your 3rd/4th turn), card is fucking useless in most cases. Those are trap spots that could have been used for Skill Prisoner, Breakthrough, or Threatening Roar (the fuck you D-Ruler variant card). I see where you're coming from, but after looking at the OCG a little bit, and the effect mill cards HAS on various decks there (Shadolls, Lightsworn), I decided to test it. In fact, it made up for certain cards that don't need to be in doubles. For example, you really like double Prisoner, where I would have preferred double Breakthrough. Now? I can just play one of each, side extras and still have a Game 1 consistency factor far ahead of the curve. The other reason I'm high on Needlebug is it allows me to manipulate Wulf with either Lavalval or Plaguespreader. Which then relates to more free monsters and field presence. My current Trap line up looks something like this; 2 Royal Decree 2 Needlebug Nest 1 Breakthrough Skill 1 Beckoning Light 1 Skill Prisoner 1 Torrential Tribute It's just too powerful to not run. _____ One another wacky idea, it seems I really enjoy Tuning as a card. Because it mills before searching, it allows me to thin the deck a lot more. However, the next benefit is you could run a Plantsworn deck that summons Quasar as an opening play given the right circumstances and have a graveyard ready for multiple JD drops. Thoughts on how to build it? I had Triple Tuning, Unknown Synchron, Quickdraw and et. al. Seems decent in theory. Which version of the deck are you using to test with atm? Pure, Chaos, or Degenerate Ruler? That is a good question. I'll have to play around with that idea for a bit.

The fact they threw in Lightrays too kinda helps some players that couldn't pick em up for some reason. Raysworn never really took off though.

ライトロード I was using a Pure Build with a higher dark count. Wasn't running BLS-EotB or Sorcerer et. al.

Samples for anyone interested:
Sample Degenerate Ruler
M:28 3 Lumina 3 Raiden 1 Garoth 2 Lyla 1 Jain 1 Ehren 1 Ryko 3 Eclipse 2 Diabolos 3 JD 1 Blaster 1 Tidal 1 Tempest 1 Redox 2 Card Trooper 2 Rainbow Kuriboh
S:7 1 Charge 3 Recharge 2 Soul Charge 1 Dark Hole
T:5 3 Decree 2 B-Skill
Ryko and Minerva are interchangeable, so it comes down to personal preference. Same with Trooper or Mathematician.
Sample Chaos
M:25 3 Lumina 3 Raiden 1 Garoth 1 Ehren 1 Jain 2 Lyla 1 Ryko 1 Wulf 1 Aurkus 1 Celestia 3 JD 2 Kuribandit 1 Plaguespreader 1 Necro Gardna 1 Gorz 1 BLS-EoTB 1 Honest
S:11 1 Charge 3 Recharge 2 Reincarnation 1 Foolish 2 Lance 1 Book 1 Dark Hole
T:5 1 Beckoning 2 Skill Prisoner 2 B-Skill
Sample Pure
M:25 3 Lumina 3 Raiden 1 Garoth 1 Ehren 1 Jain 2 Lyla 1 Ryko 1 Wulf 1 Aurkus 1 Celestia 2 Trooper 1 Gardna 1 Plague 1 Gorz 1 Honest 1 Veiler 3 JD
S:11 1 Charge 3 Recharge 2 Reincarnation 2 Lance 1 Book 1 Foolish 1 Dark Hole
T:5 1 Beckoning 2 Skill Prisoner 2 T-Roar

So Rainbow Kuriboh effectively replaced Necro Gardna in the deck, eh?

So Rainbow Kuriboh effectively replaced Necro Gardna in the deck, eh? Only in the ruler variant. I still believe Gardna is better in that it can protect monsters once in Grave and can trigger more than once in a turn. So Electromagnetic Turtle>Gardna>Rainbow Kuriboh For Pure and Chaos Electromagnetic Turtle>Rainbow Kuriboh>Gardna for Degenerate Rulers

As soon as we get Electromagnetic Turtle. The sooner the better. I can't wait to make people horribly depressed with the realization that I have a grave activated Threatening Roar.

I can see Electromagnetic Turtle and the other 2 cards that came with it being in a Dragon of Legends 2 set.

Let's discuss your Rank 8 preferences. What is your rank 8 of choice for Lightsworn, and why?

Felgrand, because it's essentially Gaios for a deck that otherwise can't play a true control game.

Number 107, because it's great in the mirror and against decks that have a lot of grave triggers (Like Bujin, for example). Not even kidding, I OTK'd a Bujin player with Tachyon & Honest.

I play a copy of each, and like both equally. I just think Felgrand has nice utility against the weird match ups I always seem to find myself in.
