General Setup
Empty Field Opening, created by player larrytetris:
Trehalose
Discovered by TCM-β, this is a Fin TSD - Neo TSD polymer.
Kojibiose
Discovered by TCM-β, this is a Fin TSD - TST polymer.

Midgame Opportunities
The polymer (trehalose) shape. At frame 3 is a fin-TSD followed by a normal TSD (because the step is too far for kaidan to work). It is fin-TSD at frame 11, followed by a polymer (fin-TSD + neo-TSD combo, i.e. trehalose). Explanation thanks to RandomTetris Noob, and fumen thanks to Larrytetris; further pages will be created on neo TSDs and Fins to explain these elements.

| Pros: | Cons: |
| "It takes very few keystrokes to set each piece in place, and you can even take advantage of DAS/ARR repeat across pieces for the OIL." - Larrytetris. |
"They are impractical and dangerous in modern multiplayer and will always remain an outside quirk of a blanket rule, in my book. The stack for them is not flat, and for the number of lines taken to do one (including the high overhang, which is I assume easy to get spiked on), their send-attack ratio is poor. With the number of pieces used, a normal t-spin double is nearly always better, and a tetris cleaner and less risky." - Paul676 |
The Godspin
This is a little too extravagant to be doing for any other purpose except to "look extravagant". However, it's a decent exercise in understanding tspin polymer mechanics.

Godspin Setup Followed by Center 4-Wide
This setup works with nearly any bag: (TTL base)
When setting up Godspin in the center, make sure to only use two Z pieces in the stack, and the use the 3rd to create the floating blocks - any extra will cause stacking problems. Likewise, only use the first two T pieces in the TTJ base, save the 3rd for the first attack. If you have an early S in the 3rd bag, just place it on top of the S used on the side overhang, and wait for another I piece to fix the stack on the side:
