Notes & Combos

I stream MD on Saturdays if you have any questions. It's usually viewer duels so come hang out!

Woo we got crown for striker! Card feels very strong.

The "can't use as material for anything" mode is great at stranding an elfnote in the center, bricking a power patron, Raye (if no activation) in MMZ, Ecclesia/Brandon. Card is just kinda nuts. The "make a towers" mode feels like a good way to stall out for a turn when you get Fuwa/Droll'd and I won at least 1 game by doing this.

Trying out less HTs in favor of Upstart right now, mostly because I keep bricking in TCG and the Vision hit on MD may have affected consistency (though I didn't notice).

Deck could easily be 40 cards without the Crossout-board or trimming on stuff to make room for HTs. It never came up but I think Crossout as an answer for Crown is good too.

I also tried no MST. I didn't really miss it but can't shake the feeling that it would've been relevant in places I can't think of. Most of the time I don't want to set it as a point of interaction, and an End Phase Lemnis cleans up backrow just fine.

Not huge on the RT bros because I don't think the deck needs the consistency boost going first and it often feels like I'm walking face first into Fuwa/Droll when I'd rather have resolved a Desires and passed. They're also fairly atrocious going 2nd.

I was honestly surprised with how well the M1 climb went because last season was pretty tough.

Good luck to all fellow Striker players on your climbs!
