    Had a 12 game win streak with this deck on plat, block dragon is absolutely insane. But I think I drew dropsie, o-lion and/or buster dragon in at 3/4 of those games.

    I think I'm still trying to improve with the deck, but if I mess up somewhere or I don't get the hits I needed I use herald as a lvl 4 to be able to go into gallant granite as a last case push. but that was when I was running a more f2p version with leonite to get signs and make is easier to have borreload, dragite and apollousa on board. 100% running baroness when it comes out, maybe replacing phoenix for it to have basically an unbreakable board t1. Currently I don't make herald as I used to, might make dweller, but I should either save for the new cards, finish building my pk deck and pull for tour guide, or try to build a new deck. What do you think?

Adamancipator has access to, and can play through, far better handtraps than PePe. PePe also didn't have access to any of the absurd end bosses we have now. As last year's cross-banlist cup proved, Adamancipator is a much stronger deck due to a far superior end-board, the ability to play through numerous powerful handtraps, and a comparably powerful follow-up.
