Additional Remarks

Advantages:

Capable of starting from few cards and going into a consistent and sturdy board state.


Disadvantages:

Weak to cards such as Kaijus and a wide variety of handtraps due to their low on-board monster count, as well as a weakness to Spell-hate cards such as anti-spell fragrance and imperial order due to their intense reliance on their backrow.
