Understanding the Deck's Strengths and Weaknesses
* Strengths:
* Strong Monster Line-Up: Lost Sanctuary boasts powerful monsters with great effects, including the key boss monster, "Lost Sanctuary".
* Recovery and Re-use: Cards like "Lost Sanctuary" and "Return of the Lost" allow you to bring back your monsters from the GY, giving you consistent plays.
* Burn Damage Potential: Some monsters inflict direct damage, offering a unique win condition.
* Weaknesses:
* Lack of Spell/Trap Support: The deck relies heavily on its monsters but has limited spell/trap options.
* Limited Draw Power: The deck can struggle to access key cards, making it vulnerable to hand traps.
* Susceptible to Backrow Removal: Without strong backrow support, the deck is easily disrupted by cards that remove spells and traps.
Key Upgrades for a More Competitive Deck
