>Mermaid is not legal in the event, so there's that
Ah, I wasn't even aware. I removed her from my regular deck a couple days before the event because I did not find many use cases for her so I did not notice.
>The thing with Mermaid is that she gives you access to Orcust Knightmare who in turn foolishes Harp Horror to continue your combo with Girsu.
I'm well aware, thing is there's a chance you're already DARK locked at that point so even if you could somehow go into Unicorn, you still can't make Mermaid because she's WATER. I found almost no scenario in which I'd realistically summon her, so I removed her. Even Justiciar sees more play in my deck, even though she's also WATER.
>What I learned is that if you only open with Girsu or Harp Horror and they get negated, Galatea-i's only next play is searching World Crown
Man, tell me about it. Happened an probably 6 or 7 out of 10-ish duels today for me.
I did manage a miraculous recovery in one of them after three handtraps by going into Lib with Galatea-i and World Crown, then searching succession to revive Scrap Recycler and send Knightmare. Unfortunately I disconnected right then so it was for naught but it felt cool as shit.
