The 2nd half of the name is acronym for "Toxic Entrance Control", which is what I called the strategy Asmodia and Nectareon allowed in my late game. This time I decided to go with 5 matches because I wanted to show off my new mythic. :)

This team is more of an evolution of the old one ( https://youtu.be/AFfT6FR9ZhA ) than anything else, but it does introduce a new concept in its endgame.

The old front line concept has been rendered useless by the Autopoison All nerf, so I had to change it into something new. Luckily in that same update one of my all time favorite monsters has been finally buffed: Skeleviathan.

With the introduction of Skeleviathan I decided to double down on my Death Revenge sub-theme, sacrificing some protection and stun protection in the process. The Rockoid left in place by Skele also works well as dead weight while I finish my Gorgodrake set-up!

The mid game Oakthulhu strat has been copy-pasted from the old team, so there's not much to say here.

The mid to late game and late game is where things changed drastically. I kept my post-Arboribratus Stun Immunity sub-theme and Deathgazer, but everything else changed. For starters, Valzareign has been benched in favor of Scorpiogeist because, well, I didn't have Scorpio before, and now I do.

Most importantly though my old Retribution endgame has been almost completely scrapped, leaving only Angelion for stun protection. Also Spookoid has been added to also support my DR subtheme by providing further monster advantage.

Instead my end game now revolves around Toxic Entrance, with some entrance control to boot: Nectareon, the new poison SE powerhouse, enters the field immediately poisoning everybody and setting up Scorpiogeist, which then supports Necta with Autopoison All.

Afterwards we have Deathgazer coming in, hopefully giving turn to the 2 fast monsters prior, and with ability to immediately threaten a Poison Massacre if necessary. Gazer can also Retreat into Asmodia for a Roaring Entrance kill to keep momentum up.

Asmodia also partially mitigates Deathgazer's drawback by immediately taking a turn if his entrance whiffed, poisoning the field in the process for Gazer's Poison Massacre and possibly opening for a comeback.

This new team has everything that made the last one great, but with more pet monsters of mine and waaay better syngergy. I love it!

0:00 vs TNC GOD HORUS
In this first match both front lines partially countered each other, but I think my opponent made a mistake in triggering my DR, immediately stopping Blacktitan in his tracks and losing momentum. While I made a minor mistake, my team worked like a charm, and just like last time, it was a great first run!

5:17 vs TOG EREN JG
Gorgodrake was easily the star of this match, starting momentum by killing the enemy Canishogun with Bomboid's help, and then sweeping like crazy never triggering his own passive! I've made a few mistakes, the biggest one in losing my chance to stun the enemy team by taking a needless risk in killing 2 monsters and letting another Stun Absorber in. Luckily I had too much momentum to be stopped at that point.

8:10 vs ced
Made a little mistake at the start of this one, but then redeemed myself by stunning 2 enemy absorbers out of the game. My opponent had a chance to recover by stunning 2 of my own monsters, but I don't think he saw it.

12:34 vs achun
At the start of the match my opponent immediately decided to go kill Freezecobra with his RAW Confident Strike opening me to a Stun Flash, which was a good idea, but unfortunately I think he forgot that he could eat Skele's Rockoid with Dusicyon, leaving him without sweeping power and allowing me to completely recover. Also I think he should have killed Gorgo when he had the chance because he seemed to have answers in his endgame, while his early game just let me go to town with him.

16:37 vs Aureum
My opponent had an interesting team concept, unfortunately he needed Aurodragon for it to work and with an extremely lucky Poison Gas at the start of the match I just kinda sealed the deal immediately. Also in this match I finally got to show off Asmodia!
