TG mirror match pseudo-puzzle

This is the exact gamestate that occured in top 16 of WCQ US, I feel I made a very poor play, and I want to see if you guys see the one or two plays I feel are more proper.

the mind control was a dust tornado, but it's kinda irrelevant.

Striker was prolly the best choice as Barbaros and Thunderking are both similar to Wanghu in the sense that it takes up your normal summon and gets run over by Rhino. If the read was that it was a Prison/Force, imo you should have set Warwolf to fetch a Rhino. Given that you were at 6000 it's unlikely that you lose. Next turn Striker + Wanghu/Rhino makes Barkion. That might have been a better play imo. If he could've made Brio it would've been hard to win anyway. So yeah props anway. Gj.

@GojidSSJ2 my extra deck didn't have a barkion.

@AnarchoMatthew tking is probably better to have than wanghu, yeah, but I feel that the wonder magician + wanghu setup has a really strong potential to win, with no real way he could play around it to immediately screw me over. I don't think he would mirror force the wanghu, simply because there are more important things he knows he needs to use it on.

Thanks.

@trynet123 Indeed, that does fuck everything. I just feel, that the TKRO staying alive gave you the best chance to do anything.

I watched your match, btw. It was good stuff.

[trynet123]

@trynet123 assuming we're aren't playing the dice and praying for the 2-out mst, and hoping his other set isn't relevant of course.

[trynet123]

@AnarchoMatthew That works too, I suppose. though wonder magician + king tiger feels like a stronger setup than just a thunder king, your play lets you hold the warwolf, and let your crow stay in your hand for things like avarice rather than tg searches. There is also the chance he doesn't use the mirror force to kill wanghu, knowing you have another threatening beatstick. in which case your fucked.

[AnarchoMatthew]

@trynet123 Yeah. Just realized that ><.

I still say you take the TKRO. Just summon the King Tiger. try to kill the Rhino. Force him to use his defense Spell/trap. Next turn topdeck the MST, and MST his backrow. Summon T-King. attack over Rhino.

@JinzoTrader16 yeah, if making the synchro play was that easy I would've done it immediately.

[JinzoTrader16]

oh dang my bad, i didnt see your comments belo :/

[JinzoTrader16]

wolf and striker make wonder magician, beat over tengu and rhino with wangu and wonder mage, game over from there, you didnt think about it because you didnt use synchros that much in your matches
