DDS miscellaneous notes (March 2018)

TO DO:
- Add Neo and Bistro Butcher, ideally in Tier 2
- Kaiba before Pandora? Crush Card on Pandora or in Tier 3?
- Add Fire Kraken? Expensive, but so is Dragon Piper relative to its use
- What to do if you get good Tristan/Joey drops
	> If Tristan drops a 0, skip Tri-Horned, then Fake Trap
	> If Tristan drops a 0 Dreams, skip passwording it
	> If Tristan drops Dancing Elf or Ancient Jar, it becomes Swordsman
	> If Joey drops Dragon Zombie, it becomes Nemuriko
		> Must delay Mako 0 and Kaiba 1 edits
	> If Mako drops Fiend's Hand, ???????????
	> If Mako drops Hourglass, ???????????
	> If Yugi drops Blackland, ???????????

MARCH 25 RUN NOTES:
- Add more beatsticks? Crush Card seems overrated because not enough 1500+ monsters get played unless you're already in a bad position (meaning even after you Crush Card, you can lose)
- Conversely, Anti Raigeki is quite good aside from its cost, but Raigeki AI seems more complex than I thought?
- Remember to zoom out in main notes window so you don't have to scroll constantly
- Be more aggressive on DarkNite, especially on turn 1 when you go second
- Headhuntress is really good until Heishin and DarkNite
- Battle Ox is a keeper
- Beastking should be used aggressively on Espa Roba (treat it like a normal beatstick; just watch out for Psychic Kappa)
- Play monsters less often under Swords unless you've confident it has a purpose
- Pen + paper strats are really useful, especially if you can add the cards' numbers after checking them on your phone or something
- Try to remove useless magics and traps in Tier 3; it's really annoying trying to remember whether they're useful traps
- Don't play traps against an opponent with Dark Hole when you're in a winning position (namely Yugi and Ishizu)
- Morphing Jar is much less useful than I thought after Espa Roba
- By extension, fusing in Tier 3 is almost never worth it

SECOND PRACTICE RUNS NOTES:
- Keep a pen + piece of paper nearby to write down good drops, then consult as necessary
- Practice Joey 3 edits
- Summoning a beatstick turn 1 instead of setting is usually better after Joey
- Yugi will Dark Hole 2 monsters if you boost them with Hourglass or Witch's Apprentice

TIER 1 PRACTICE RUN NOTES:
- Should have three sets of notes open at the start: first 11 passwords, last 11 passwords, Tristan 0 removals (you should memorize the adds)
- Absolutely need to have numbers next to Tristan 0 removals
- Need to practice Tristan 0 removals and adds extensively
- Thousand-eyes Idol is a hard password
- Memorize the card numbers (generally) of all the LCF drops
- More beatsticks is good even when your hand has more than you need, because:
	> It saves inputs
	> It often removes the need to checking your whole hand
	> It allows you to play riskier (Dark Hole, Harpie Lady, etc.)
- Do machines trigger Umi on Mako in some situations? Or does Umi just work like Dark Hole (triggers after he suicides a monster by attribute)?
- Best way to win: Set trap+summon 18, summon Jirai, attack with 18+Jirai, attack with anything+18+Jirai
- Resetting loses 20 seconds, so it's considerable in bad situations, and almost always faster than losing
