@SunnySunday the thing is. Marino has everything that Bombazar hates. Most notably Tajimal, Cranium Clamp and Holy Awe, but also blockers in general, Craze Valkyrie to screw up Bombazars field presence, Locomotiver to discard more cards, and Terror Pit and removal in general. Not saying that Marino beats Bombazar Blue, cause it absolutely doesn't. But of all decks i have tested against Bombazar Blue, Marino Control is the only deck that does well consistently. By well i just mean putting up a fight, and not just getting completely destroyed. When i test my decks against each other, i usually do it in a "First to 10 wins" matches. This way the deck that wins the most on average will pull the win, as well as showing me how consistent the decks are. I have so far had 3 of these matches between Bombazar Blue and Marino Control, and they went like this:
- Bombazar won 10/3
- Bombazar won 10/2
- Bombazar won 10/3
So it turned out as a pretty clear 70% win rate for Bombazar, and 30% for Marino. Winning nearly 30% of the time against Bombazar Blue is pretty insane for a Non-Bombazar deck. Marino Control also has amazing matchup against basically any other deck in TCG, so i might go as far as saying it is one of the best Non-Bombazar decks in TCG. I would say Starnoid, RUB and Marino Control are the three best decks in my experience, if we exclude Bombazar decks.
