FM win rate misconceptions

(NOTE: These are my personal misconceptions, which may or may not apply to others.)

1. Magics help a lot on Sebek

In reality, although having lots of good cards can speed up Sebek duels, it's very unlikely to lose to him even if you have the worst decks. He frequently plays useless backrows and walls, which give you many extra turns to draw the 1 equip or Umi you need.

2. Having many small equips is essential for consistently winning the hardest duels

In reality, small equips help more on Neku and DarkNite. They're not enough to beat Heishin, Seto and Nitemare consistently, unless you pair them with Umi, which comes with major risks on all 3 duels (MM, BEUD, quick kill), or 3 Widespreads, which are tough to win. Small equips aren't as compatible with Megamorphs and MBDs.

3. If you have MBD, you don't need anything else

In reality, MBD benefits heavily from Raigeki (for farming and removing other MBDs) and having strong THTD support to back it up. Solo MBD decks only work if you draw MBD consistently on the first 2 turns, which is extremely unlikely for the duration of the Final 6-7.

4. MBD helps a lot on Seto 3 because it is the hardest duel

In reality, MBD is barely better than a basic THTD equip for Seto 3. The typical Raigeki wins on this duel often force you to play a monster that either beats MBD or magic locks B. Skull/BEWD/Metalzoa. And MBD is no better than THTD for beating BEUD.

5. Seto 3 and Nitemare are always the hardest duels

In reality, while Seto is always the hardest duel, Heishin is usually more difficult than Nitemare because of Megamorph.
