This is kinda a Roux-ish method I've been using that starts by building ANY 2 squares on the cube and proceeding from there.

2 different last layers below:

[53 STM]
R' U R U' R' // square
U B2 M2 B' L' R2 D F // column --> square
M' D M' D M2 x2 // 4b
F U' F' // FB (11 moves)
Dw' R U R' U2 R U' R' // SB (13 moves)
U' Rw U R' U' M U R U' R' // EO (also possible was M' U M U2 M' U M, but I am slower with that alg)
R U2 R' U' R U2 L' U R' U' L // J-PLL (fix corners and phase edges)
y M2 U' M2 // 4c

[54 STM]
R' U R U' R' // square
U B2 M2 B' L' R2 D F // column --> square
M' D M' D M2 x2 // 4b
F U' F' // FB (11 moves)
Dw' R U R' U2 R U' R' // SB (13 moves)
U' M U M' U2 M U M' // EO
R' U2 R U R' U2 L U' R U L' // Ja-PLL (fix corners and phase edges)
y M2 E2 M E2 M' U' // icky dots case

@Devagio is this some sort of a subset of Mehta-OS, or is it just a different way to do APDR? Basically what I did was insert an already-made 1x1x3 into the DL spot, then did a PLL, then finished intuitively. It seems like it would just be APDR, but I'm not sure if it could be something else.

I don't know what this is called. (It's a mixture of stuff.) This is is close to my PB from 8 years ago. I can do better. (Two insertions = bad!)

40 STM
D2 R B //fix the 4 bad edges
U' L' E2 L M2 U' D2 S2 S L2 S' L2 //1x2x3 block

//solve all but a 2 2-cycle of edges and 3-cycle of corners (with all moves not on the * lines)
//Then do the * lines afterwards
