OP needs a decklist/

[Lord_Ivan]

Trident isn't the only Synchro you can go into in the deck. Nebthet and Eset are Lv5s and Delta isn't forced to use its effect.

Forgot about Eset, I commonly don't use Nebthet but maybe gonna test one for Sacred Pleiades.
Need to do more testing with Delta, since as you pointed, some the main problem of Hieratics is to have protection after a swarm, also it could give more flexibility to the deck of not going entirely OTK, going into a more control form adapting against the opponent, we already have the tools to make it (Photon Streak Bounzer/Number 25/M7) but commonly go for the OTK because it's an easier way where you don't care about the next turn, that can work on the first duel since you got your enemy without defenses but on games 2/3 you commonly run into Maxx "C", Chain Dissapearence, Effect Veiler, Gorz, Tragoedia, Fossil Dyna, etc. But with Synchros you can sit on a Stardust+Bounzer without the needing of overextending.
Also have been thinking on using Masked Dragon on the deck since it can summon the new gemini, that could be another way to have it early game beside Ashes, and help getting Delta too.

Thoughts on maining/siding Forbidden Chalice as both an attack booster and a means of negating problem cards like T-King and Dolkka? It also allows Tefnuit to attack the turn its summoned and turns Eset into a normal summonable 2300 beater.

How do Hieroglyphs win game two? This has always puzzled me.

[tummychow]

^ you and me both lol

@rich: i've been reading your posts, but honestly none of the cards you've suggested have any place in atem turbo where basically you go off or you lose. delta, masked are both too slow for atem turbo so i suspect you're referring to some kind of hieratic disaster build. can you share a build?

R/F please.

[tummychow]

in the atem turbo build, why exactly are you running 2 of each normal? that's only hurting the consistency of an already inconsistent deck (truth be told, by tcg standards, atem turbo is a slow, creaky and demanding otk in a sea of fast, consistent and liquid smooth control decks. it really needs all the help it can get). was it a typo?

[ZephyrTiger]

^Should I run 1 of each then? or 2-1, 1-2?
This was a first look build and I'm looking to improve them for Regionals in May; so there will be mistakes here and there.

[Popotron]

Yeah 1 of each is what you run. With 2 of each you're just begging for your normal to get Chain Disappearance'd

[KotU]

Actually, if your opponent is idiotic enough to be Siding Chain Disappearance..... which is only good against Frognarchs & Hieroglyphs, then they are more likely to hit the Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon that is Special Summoned off of Atem rather than hit the Normal Monster. Hitting the REDMD is far more devastating because it literally halts the entire play right there & completely devastates the Deck. Without the Normals, REDMD can still Special Summon beaters..... but without REDMD, your combos essentially stop at a single Xyz & a Monster or 2 with 0ATK.
