Notes & Combos
This is pretty much the same list as last time just this time in Diamond 1! I added one copy of Nib due to people playing it again, this deck can play around Nib with princess in hand + a rikka on board but many times you wont get that setup. I actually think Nib itself is incredibly good people are not respecting it due to many cutting it due to spright (though its not as bad into spright as people think) - I think it could be worth running at three.
-------------------------------------------------------
Rikka Sunavalon is an extremely rewarding and fun deck to play on lader; so long as you avoid every single backrow deck!
In all seriousness I think the deck is in a pretty good spot in the meta game with a particularly good matchup into non-Runick spright variants.
Their are a few things I'd recommend to people interested in trying out this specfic list:
- Don't be afriad to just play Rikka control especially if you think its likely they have Maxx C in hand
- The two Lonefire's are cuttable but I find the deck lacks starters if you cut them entirely
- The second Primula is extremely important turns 3 and beyond; having a reliable way to get back into Strenna is necessary for recycling your Rikka Sheet.
- If you are playing against a lot of backrow switch off the list or jam it filled with evenly matched, harpies or lighting storms in place of some of the more cuttable cards (lonefire, one copy of the field spell, imperms etc..)
- Rikka Sheet should be your priority in simplified game states - it will win you games alone over getting out your bigger extra deck targets.
Good Luck and Happy Planting ~
