I highly considered monster, but my worry was two things: 1- Monsters don’t provide any EX bursts that punish Aggro from swinging early while i’m getting setup. 2- Monster incentivize LB Shantotto. Not that she’s super prevalent anyways, but most decks are using 1 of her as an “Oh Shit” button. The game plan was always to slow down the Meta and allow me to take my time and punish boards that get too wide. With Monsters you can definitely still achieve that, it just didn’t fit my original game plan for the deck. ~Ryan
Looking at this Dragoon deck I come to a conclusion that Shinryu should either be banned or reprinted in some set. Absolutely every deck benefits from 3x and playing any less is not optimal.
