ZETA CONTROL?!? Kata's 9th Place SPICE 🥵 Edison $1K Deck Profile

Kata is a great local player who's been brewing a SPICY Zeta Reticulant deck for a while, and he's getting closer and closer to making topcut. This was a 74-man tournament which I'm sure makes it the best performing Zeta deck... ever? Give the man his flowers for having the courage to try something unique!

Congrats on the high finish!
Would you say the vayu package is worth keeping in moving forward?

[@kat-vi9wz]

Thanks! I think the 1-1 is good with karma cut, and affords the grepher for more zeta consistency. I will continue to play with the package.
I wanted to mention, the lack of milling cards is probably surprising - my experience with hamster+ryko, or any mill cards, feels like it conflicts with the incorporation of more traps. A part of the threat of the deck is the possibility of what you have, and milling removes those possibilities for consideration. There is a case for a build that is more millheavy to get advantage off of that, but this is not that build :)

@@kat-vi9wz I like your concept to exclude the random milling. I feel like the purposeful dumping better fits the strategy
I’m new to this strategy and have looked up various deck lists. Love your incorporation of the shining angels. All other decks utilized hamster ryko. Maybe herald could make main deck? The tuner access synergizes well with the tokens!
Cyber dragon seems like a decent opener but may conflict mid to late game. I’m trying to think of other quality light attributes for the deck

@@bobop8755 herald is very mid into one of the worst matchups - hero beat. Thankfully it waned in popularity, but it can also be painful to lose hand advantage. I've definitely had success with it in the main, but I have preferred it in the side!
