Notes & Combos
Deleting the Maliss virus like I'm playing Battle Network!
Pure striker all the way to Master 1!
Unlike other seasons, there were very little changes to the build as I laddered, and I stuck with this from early Diamond all the way to M1!
This deck DOES NOT blind second, we go first when given the option! However because we are Striker, our win rate going second is honestly quite good anyway!
The premise of the deck is deep draw into Imperial Iron Wall to immediately kill Maliss (and some others decks like Crystron)
At first I tried board breaking them straight up, but they just draw toooo many cards during their 1st turn combo, so I found it VERY unreliable to go pure board breakers into Maliss.
Deck Explanation
- 3x Talents/Thrust - Great going first into Droll/Ash/Fuwa/C and also wonderful board breakers. 3 is normally bricky but I REALLY wanted to see them
- 3x Imperial Iron Wall - Normally I hate floodgates but the Maliss followup is legitimately unstoppable without this card. It also has AMAZING synergy with multirole, allowing you to set 3 every turn infinitely
- 1x Black Goat/Metalfoes Fusion - Turn 1 thrust targest, good sends off droplet and target for foolish burial of goods
- 3x Upstart/Chicken Game - Deep draw tools, and specifically we play a bunch of ways to remove Chicken Game in droplet/linkage/area zero
- 1x Area Zero - In a going first build of Striker this card is KEY. Area Zero -> Target Raye -> Chain Raye baits Maxx C/Fuwa and turns on your Thrust/Talents
- 3x Droplet - Good going first or second and allows you to steal with Widow Anchor, send with droplet, and be able to use another Widow Anchor
- 0x Called By - Normally this is a must but EVERYONE is running Lancea, so it's not even very reliable atm
- 1x Shark Cannon - In this meta I used it way more to steal than to Banish, and you have to be careful if they chain lancea and force you to summon
Extra Deck
- I honestly missed not having Engage Zero as an interuption off linkage or Raye effect
- Accesscode - All the Maliss link 3's make this VERY easy to summon
- Dharc - Very rarely came up
- SP - Because everyone is running Lancea and we have imperial Iron wall this card was very rarely summoned and I might even want to drop for something else
- Ty-Phon - Found myself Linkage locked a lot, so I couldn't even summon this guy when I needed him most
