So this deck may look like a meme, but tbh it's actually a really decent control deck. IIRC I didn't use LG on my win streak, some kind of consistency skill might help; I could see Restart or even Draw Sense Dark being viable, I just use LG in a lot of decks. Generally tho, if I got KoG with a deck with fucking Worm Jetelikpse anyone can lol

Ananta is actually a great card, the only flaw with building a deck around it is a lack of surrounding pieces. Most of the current reptiles leave a lot to be desired, praying for the good Worms to come out tbh.

I only have 1 Gale but I adore the card, it's one of my favorite cards in Duel Links. Saved my ass a lot, extends the game for the turn to LG. Would run a 2nd copy over the filler Jetelikpse. Cartaros and Apocalypse are good cards, Apocalypse is actually close to being great, it's the primary search target for Cartaros. People don't hesitate to set good s/t so you usually pop good cards. I think any Ananta deck should try 1-2 if they're not going hard with 3 Gale and/or 3 Skreech.

Gagagigo is a big level 4, just a good fundamental card. Giga  Gagagigo is pretty close to filler, but it's a big body that you can summon vs weaker decks/slower matchups, an okay surprise card. LG likes to be monster heavy, a diff skill with 1-2 less monsters would work fine.

All the s/t scream control deck. Chose not to run 1 MW since the deck likes to set a lot, MW or SRH is mainly player preference I guess. Tbh Econ is just insane against most decks right now, play it well in a halfway decent deck and you'll be fine. Since I wanted to be more aggressive I used Nobleman of Extermination, which is actually pretty good outside of playing CA. Banishing multiple Red Eyes Spirit from the deck :FeelsGoodMan:. Would add a 2nd Floodgate over Giga if I was more serious and not F2P.

Maybe it's late in the season already but I don't have much to say in terms of matchups, I feel like I faced rogue in Legend constantly.

Decks on streak: CA, REZ, Beatdown Vanilla Red Eyes, Balance Cyber Stein (?), Warrior Joey

CA: Trash player or unlucky, ended a turn with Dakini at 3700 and attacked to get me to 300 LP. Topped Econ, specialed an Ananta at 1200 for game.

REZ: He opened Gozuki, REZD, Spirit, and either Wyvern or MW. Made the aggressive play to special REZD from hand turn 2, I think Apocalypse popped a set MW on his side. My turn I use Nobleman, banish an unlive Spirit, along with 2 more from the deck :Kappa: careful play led to a win from there.

Vanilla Red Eyes: I went first and set a Gale and Anubis. Plays Insight, then Vanguard which I Anubis. He flipped Spirit on my Draw Phase, telegraphing CV hard. Bait it out with Nobleman, flipped Gale, he couldn't recover.

I went first on Balance, they played Soul of the Pure and quit. Only had 1 card in the extra but I still guessed it was Stein cancer. The Joey player wasn't really worth going into, Econ took a DD Warrior, tributing it for Giga was the most noteworthy play.

This isn't a deck that could climb the first 48 hours with all the tryhards, Reptiles don't have enough good cards. Tbh starting at Plat 4 makes things so easy, I hesitate to think this could get through Plat 1 to KoG even without dedication. Really fun, different deck, but not anything to take that seriously just yet.
