Notes & Combos

Every one and their mother is playing some kind of stun/control degeneracy, and we're no different cause we have Ariseheart. The majority of matchups were Lab or some Tear Kash Grass Punk 8000 mill. I went 38-16.

Match Records:

• 8-8 Labrynth
• 6-2 TearKashPunkGrass
• 4-1 Purrely
• 4-1 Kashtira
• 3-0 Unknown
• 3-0 Mikanko
• 2-1 Mathmech
• 1-2 Branded
• 2-0 Scareclaw
• 1-1 8-Axis
• 1-0 Runick/Umi Stun
• 1-0 Elemental Heroes
• 1-0 Chaos
• 1-0 Swordsoul

Most of my losses were going second vs. Labrynth. I'd probably main deck red reboot if I had it but tbh going 50/50 isn't too bad, all things considered.

Deck Theory

We make Ariseheart and with our backrow and the cards committed to out Ariseheart, we win. You can honestly wait foreve to activate Ariseheart effect.

• NEVER and I really do mean NEVER make a 1-mat Ariseheart first
  • What I mean by this is that if you're playing into Nib and you're at you're well beyond your 5th summon, save Birth revive effect for end of Main Phase revive Kashtira --> 1-mat Ariseheart
  • Don't respond with Ariseheart if you don't have to.
• You can get 2 Ariseheart pops on your turn by popping something, BoMing Ariseheart, and the flipping him back over.
• Gravity controller is to out Scareclaw Tri-Heart. I finally put him in my ED and now I barely see Scareclaw.

General Notes

• I saw more Book of Eclipse than Moon
• Very few midrange decks, mainly stun and control enjoyers
• A lot of people are playing Change of Heart/Herald of the Abyss, and Kaijus.
• It's actually insane that I saw more gamba high roll Tear punk than I did Purrely and pure Kashtira.
