Baraghiara Loop

Baraghiara Loop is a combo decktype with some control, aggro and turbo elements.

Details
The concept is based around the Ringfinity ability of 2 or more of Baraghiara, Heavenly Earth Momentum. The setup usually requires at least 3 copies of Baraghiara, 2 copies of Kondama/Soul Femidoro and 1 copy of Minogami, Beginning Rainbow Emperor.

Usually, a deck based on this concept has 36-37 twinpact cards and the remaining 3-4 cards being left for multiple copies of Minogami.

The deck aims to ramp mana as quickly as possible to summon Baraghiara. By using Ringfinity while multiple copies of Kondama is present in the battle zone, the player can cast the spell side of Baraghiara multiple times whilst gaining mana at an exponential rate due to the mandatory mana ramp effect of Ringfinity and multiple Kondamas allowing the player to untap multiple cards in his mana zone for every single twinpact card put into the mana zone via Ringfinity. With Minogami present in the battle zone, there is no danger of a loss induced by a deckout caused by Ringfinity as Emperor Time will force the player to return 8 cards back to the deck instead.

In a single turn, if done right, the player can swarm out up to 6-10 creatures in the battle zone making it possible for a one-turn kill. Otherwise, devastating lockout or resource depleting combos can be done to the opponent to great effect.

Overall, the decktype is extremely versatile due to its neverending combo with the 3 main cards and different builds centered around different spell/creature finishers can be used to great effect.

Weaknesses
Due to the dual nature of twinpact cards as spells, it  to anti-spell cards such as Lost Mind Torture or Fuuma Gorgonshack that will easily slow down the deck's tempo early in the game. The Grave of Angels and Demons also acts as an effective field and mana control card as the deck itself runs multiple copies of Baraghiara, sometimes depleting up to 5 mana in one shot depending on how many copies of Baraghiara have already been put into the mana zone.

Being a mana ramp deck, it is also vulnerable to rush decks or decktypes that cost trample very quickly before Baraghiara can be summoned. To this end, the deck aims to have at least 16-20 shield triggers for defense. Some variants utilizing Memento Shrine have surfaced but it is not recommended to mix in D2 fields or non-twinpact cards for maximum efficiency, with the sole exception being Minogami.

Generally, it is not recommended to exceed 10 copies of Baraghiara with different spell sides as each card counts as a multicoloured card, and having too many will end up slowing down the deck's tempo.
