And what happens when you dump all of your resources and your opponent uses just about any spell or trap to destroy your Ananta? This deck doesn't appear to have any kind of answer for back row.
I've been playing reptiles a bit, and I've noticed that Ananta is a great panic button, but I wouldn't base my entire strategy on it. Play a well rounded reptile beatdown deck with one Ananta, maybe two, as a backup plan, and you should do better overall.
Also, having a weak Ananta with a Molting Escape on it is much safer than blowing your load on a giant Ananta that's just begging for an econ take. I've won games with a 600 ATK/DEF Ananta because my opponent just couldn't summon monsters fast enough to 🔥 it twice in one turn, without leaving themselves vulnerable to a pair of Gagagigo.
The tactic for me has been delay the game until your opponent has already burned their go-to spell and trap cards THEN summon EDA. It just depends on how your opponent plays. Of course if they're running a full Cyber Angel deck you're likely screwed anyway
This definitely. I summon my Ananta as soon as possible (most times as 600 atk/def mon) and protect it with backrow. And I agree that Molting Escape is a great card here. I used to run 2 but replaced one when I got SRH but it's a great protection for Ananta as long as you keep popping every monster the opponent summons each turn.
yeah what i do is to fusion worm zero (discard all reptiles to graveyard from hand and still can revive them to field) then in worm zero is destroyed my last resort is anantana, btw the deck posted here was obviously untested, since snake whistle dont work like that.
That’s the way it should be play. It’s a control deck. Noobs summon it with high stats late into the game when your opponent has board advantage. You want to summon it as early as you can, protect it and destroy your opponents resources.
