The optimal Spellbook/Dogmatika deck turn 1 board

See... The situation we find ourselves in now is akin to this ☝️
Iam "The optimal Spellbook/Dogmatika deck turn 1 board consists of the cards: Secret Village of Spellcasters, Jowgan the Spiritualist, and Dogmatika Punishment. As long as Secret Village of Spellcasters is on the field, only the owner of the card is allowed to use spell cards (so long as they possess a Spellcaster monster on the field). Jowgan the Spiritualist prevents special summoning. And Dogmatika punishment will destroy a face up monster. It creates a situation where your opponent has no choice but to use their 1 normal summon on a monster that will inevitably be destroyed by Dogmatika Punishment and/or set a monster. This board almost always guarantees a turn 3 and shuts down spell heavy decks or decks that rely heavily on link/synchro climbing or special summoning. Ideally you will Spellbook climb into Jowgan so summon it in defense position. It's a fun deck that results in only 1 player being able to play Yugioh."

rearranging the deckchairs on the RMS Carpathia

An upgrade on rearranging the deck chairs on Titanic. To make the same futile mistake again in the face of the disaster, to not learn from previous mistakes despite somehow surviving first time around . The Carpathia being the vessel which rescued the survivors of the Titanic
Our response to the second surge of Covid was the same as the first surge, it felt like rearranging the deckchairs on the RMS Carpathia while sailing towards the same iceberg

Getting on the decks

Female masturbation. When a woman is rubbing her clit and labia in a repetitive motion with the hand flat in a way that resembles a DJ scratching a vinyl.
