part 1:  beating the game
started with 2/0 beast fangs
got time wizard from jono campaign and a trap quickly from BCDs
got 2MM, 2BC, and a DT from pegasus in 55 a-tecs, WE on kaiba #1
306 meadow mage duels gave me 3MBD, didn't get SK, only missed crawling dragon
red eyes took me 18 jono 2 duels
beat the game in 15:58 (-1:42)


part 2:  a-tec farm and magic cleanup
44 nitemare duels gave me all requireds + DPL + simochi + 4 equips
skipped mai a-tecs, committing to buy follow wind
meadow took 60 a-tecs to win 2 spellbinding, HotU, HoL, and 2 final flame
20 mage soldier a-tecs gave me bear trap
26 more mage soldier BCDs gave me DE
went back for a few more pegasus a-tecs and got a DT drop
timer was at 27:37 starting heishin, wanted to stay ahead of PB (-0:02)


part 3:  the big boys
opted to do all of heishin before seto due to not having SK yet
531 heishin wins + 61 losses gave me 6/6 + SK
only drops missing were left arm, bickuribox, and aqua dragon
222 seto 3 wins + 146 losses for 3 blue eyes + left arm, no sky dragon again
timer was at 52:49 after finishing seto 3rd (-4:25)


part 4:  cleanup
cleanup definitely went worse than PB but i was missing 2 extra expensive cards
monster egg took a combined 197 duels, but i got every exclusive from seto 2
curry + red medicine both dropped after 64 villager1 BCDs
silver bow took 11 mai BCDs, mystical moon + metalmorph in 30 keith duels
i tried to force targets who dropped expensive cards
for example i cleared out all of darknite hoping for bickuribox
i did get aqua dragon from ocean mage, which saved a ton of time
i spread out a lot of the rituals so i did a few at the end of each stream
overall slow ending between kaiba + isis being rough cost me PB
final run time was 77:38:15 (+0:10)



notes on every duelist:

simon - 1 win
final duel of the run to knock out 2 fusions, won a new card lol

jono - 17 wins
time wizard was campaign, most of these were at the very end for cleanup

did my first set of rituals and fusions here
all BCDs, got red medicine and 4 mooyan curry

villager2 - 14 wins
all of these were during farm 1

villager3 - 7 wins

seto - 13 wins
mostly BCDs, did all of my rituals here after the first set

heishin - 531 wins, 61 losses
awesome farm, got 6/6, won 23 different 4s, +5 over expected
started off really slow but most of the good drops were in the last 200
thankfully picked up my first and only skull knight here
didn't get left arm or aqua dragon here but both of them dropped later
only card i completely missed was bickuribox

a few some duels in cleanup trying to get uraby, unsuccessful

weevil underwood - 80 wins
got jirai gumo here, one of many places i unsuccessfully tried for fiend kraken

i decided not to attempt winning follow wind here
may have hurt me later as i dodged 3 expensive cards during POWs

bandit keith - 30 wins
29 BCDs for mystical moon, 1 POW for metalmorph

shadi - 0 wins

55 a-tecs for 2MM, 2BC, and a DT
came back later and did 5 more a-tecs and got a second DT before moving on

isis - 70 wins
got fairy of the fountain quickly then won basically nothing for the rest
choosing to farm here for fiend kraken ultimately cost me PB

kaiba - 175 wins, 2 losses
got WE on the first and only a-tec
the rest of the duels were POWs for cleanup, went below average

mage soldier - 46 wins
20 a-tecs here for bear trap, 26 BCDs for dark energy
got job-change, battle ox, gokibore along the way, none were important

jono 2nd - 18 wins
very quick red-eyes, actually was missing plenty of common jono drops

teana 2nd - 0 wins

ocean mage - 119 wins
got aqua dragon, akihiron, octoberser, and many other cards
one of many places i unsuccessfully hunted for fiend kraken

don't remember what i won here but i tried cleanup here for some cards

forest mage - 0 wins

high mage anubisius - 0 wins

mountain mage - 0 wins

high mage atenza - 0 wins

desert mage - 2 wins
figured i'd do a few duels for rude kaiser right?

high mage martis - 0 wins

meadow mage - 366 wins
306 POWs for 3MBD and 0SK, was only missing crawling dragon (and gator)
60 a-tecs gave me everything i needed, including 3 spellbinding in a 4 duel span

high mage kepura - 0 wins
never ended up here because i just forced everything on darknite and ocean mostly

labyrinth mage - 0 wins

seto 2nd - 165 wins, 4 losses
monster egg never dropped here but i got every exclusive so i left

guardian sebek - 81 wins
ancient tool didn't want to show up here, but overall farm was fine

guardian neku - 0 wins

heishin 2nd - 0 wins

seto 3rd - 222 wins, 146 losses
first blue eyes took 175 wins, then got the other 2 on #177 and #222
60.3% winrate was slightly better than PB, only 5 total duels more
better than average duel count, but again a decent number of BCDs
overall this farm was slightly below average due to not having sky dragon

darknite - 11 wins
stayed as long as possible hoping for bickuribox, won nearly everything else here

nitemare - 44 wins, 4 losses
cyber shield on #20, soul of the pure on #25, tfire on #44
also picked up DPL, nuzzler, simochi, 2 violet crystal, and black pendant
overall a very good farm thanks to the equips i pulled

duel master k - 0 wins



final notes:

2MM, 2BC, 2DT, 1DT, 1BF, 1HotU, 1Nuzz, 2VC, 1BP, 1HoL
187 total a-tecs, very good, +20 more than PB
every main a-tec target was slightly better than expected duel count
meadow = bad, jono 2 = very good, heishin = very good, seto 3 = below average
seto 3rd winrate was not great, would have loved an extra SK or MM
i had 2 more equips than in PB, but the lack of a third MM was noticeable
just under 400 total duels that could have dropped fiend kraken but didn't
cleanup would have been a bit faster if i didn't focus specific cards
next goal will definitely be sub-72 hours  :)
