Notes & Combos

• Fiendsmith is finally here and it lives up to the hype! This engine helped me push through multiple handtraps and unbricked hands that would have been easily a game loss in the past. The crazy part is that we are missing 'Lacrima the Crimson Tears', 'Aerial Eater', and 'Necroquip Princess', so the Fiendsmith engine will get even better.
• Fun fact, you can recycle "Crystal Beast Topaz Tiger" from the graveyard to the deck using "Fiendsmith's Sequence" to allow "Rainbow Bridge of Salvation" to work if "Crystal Beast Topaz Tiger" was in your opening hand.
• On top of surviving handtraps & unbricking hands, Chimera/Yubel with Fiendsmith creates a board that is incredibly hard to break. The ideal endboard roughly ends with Desirae, Varudras, Appo, Phantom, and the chimera cards in the graveyard. There were a few "Going Second" Decks that "broke" the board (i.e. Sphere Mode), but they still ending up losing the duels as the chimera cards in the graveyard helped with the follow up.
• Nevertheless, Fiendsmith/Azamina engines are the future for Chimera at 60 cards. Yet, I have done the Chimera/Yubel/(Random Engine) for a while now that I wanted to try to do the climb at least one season with some version of Chimera/Yubel/Fiendsmith before dropping the Yubel cards altogether.
• Made several attempts to reach to M1 and got close a few times right up to M2, but kept getting deranked back to M5. At this point I am going to settle submitting M5 for this season with this deck. It was fun seeing how far I can push the Chimera/Yubel concept, but I am not oblivious how much the overall "powerlevel" of the "Meta" was raised when Fiendsmith & Azamina was introduced to Master Duel at the sametime.
