Notes & Combos
After testing different variants of the deck (mainly handtrap heavy and boardbreaker heavy) I finally landed on the version that feels the best, and that's still with the toy engine (don't have fiendsmith cause I'm locked in on getting the sky strikers alt arts)
Toys still give the deck so many resources and consistency, before azamina I was already running 3 diabellstar because she was full combo with toy box, now it's even better of course but not just for the azamina cards, but now she is also very likely to get hit by a handtrap so your white forest plays are much safer.
Toys also help you play around handtraps like droll and fuwalos, very hand dependant naturally but you can still put very good interactions around those two cards. The extra bodies also help going second but I'm gonna keep it real, going first is so insanely strong right now that it's either open fuwalos or maxx c, sometimes ash and imperm will be enough against handtrap heavy hands, which again toys help greatly in playing through those.
Unlike most lists, I'm still on 3 astellar because I absolutely hate bricking, passing on nothing on your first turn is a dead sentence so the added consistency is very much worth it, and again, with toys if she gets hit with ash, imperm or veiler it does basically nothing, besides, she is the best tribute for deception (very important part of the combo) or discard for diabellstar so opening with her and silvy is not a bad thing.
Overall toys still feel amazing, they help set up a good turn one more consistently (though you'll still brick) which is imo the most important thing right now (the boardbreaker variant I tried was too bricky and so was the handtrap one but aside from fuwalos and maxx c not many other handtraps felt that impactful, heck some decks even droll themselves).
Replays
ID: 851-987-618
3 replays to show different combos with and without tox boy, one for each of the main starters (astellar, elzette and silvy). your endboards will vary depending on your hand and handtraps of your opponent but best case scenario you can end on Silvia, Baron, Borreland, 2 mat appo and SS of the white forest for guardian chimera + aphen if you can search it.

What can you tell me about Abyss Dweller, was it worth the space in the ED? I'm unsure if I can use it in my deck or not
Dweller doesn't come up very often but if you go uninterrupted with toys you'll end with extra bodies to spare so it's a good option to have in this meta, but not necessary at all so you can replace it with anything else.
I like the look of this list. I played a lot of white forest before and after Azamina cards were added, and I definitely don't like how bricky and weak to disruption most of the Azamina lists i've tried feel, so going back to toys and 3x Asteller seems worth a shot. Do you think Selene and Borreload are essential? I don't have those.
Borreload is not that important, you can end on diabell instead. Selene is really good, she is part of the main combo and let's me end on borreload and Apo, but since you don't have borreload and you can still probably get to Apo without her you can try something else.
This list looks clean! I really liked White Forest when I tried it but I also really wanted to stick with Toy Box even if most people dropped it.
Thanks! I get why most people dropped toy box but it just does so much for the deck it doesn't feel as good without it.
Is it a good idea to run Muddy Mudragon, Albion and Dragoon in the Extra Deck? I get that the space is tight but I'm still thinking if it's worth it.
It's fun but I would not recommend it, like you said the ED space is super tight and it's just not worth it. It's a great option in the fusion/synchro event right now tho XD
I did finish the event with it xD But going back to regular Ranked I ended up not running any Links... Crazy, I know. I decided to run the other Azamina fusions and more Synchros like Visas Amritara and Formula Synchron :)
Thanks! It's pretty good, or at least it would be if first turns weren't so oppresive currently (this deck included). It sucks but you pretty much need maxx-c or fuwalos to resolve to stand a chance (unless they bricked and end on a suboptimal board). I tried to fix the issue with different combinations of boardbreakes and handtraps but none were really worth it.
The deck however can play through some interruption. Diabellstar + toy box is your best opener as you can chain block effects, threaten Apo, I:P or Silvia with combat and get deception for a silvia of your own or to bait negates. The fusion spell has also been really clutch.
The biggest strength going second is that it can easily push through maxx-c + handtraps to go for game, that's why skipping turns with your own maxx-c or fuwa is so important. I've won many games where the opponent ends with a disruption like silvia or phantom of yubel and they maxx-c me, draw into bystials, nib, veiler and I still win.
