Vanquish Soul K9

Master I from Ryōshi on August 17th, 2026
cp-ur 1020 + cp-sr 390
40 cards

Notes & Combos

Got tired of Branded because of games taking too long without knowing if you would lose and it feels like shjt when you go second with only engine or brick on 1-ofs.

Reasons to play VSK9 now:

  • Best turn 0 in the game (only hope of winning going second now)
  • Handrips (very valuable when every card you see forces 2-3 interactions)
  • Resilient vs handtraps
  • Can play under Fuwa
  • Lots of monster removal
  • Access + immunity to floodgates (Droll, Shifter, Ret C)
  • Droll (counters going first FTK boards, Sky Striker, Kewl Tune, Mitsurugi)
  • Retaliating "C" + Shifter (counters Sky Striker, Branded, Kewl Tune, Dracotail)
  • People really hate Branded and Kewl Tune so they all switched to playing Striker in Master, now I see them every other game.
  • Every MU is a bad MU if you can't stop them from making an unbreakable board going first
  • I'm too stingy to play Arc Rebellion, play it if you can
