Notes & Combos
Decided to play Rikka on this Season's Climb. Deck is very solid, probably High Tier 2 at the moment due to how resilient it is to Floodgate HTs and baby HTs as well. It can do pretty much full Combo under droll with most hands, plus can leave Princess + Sheet under Fuwa giving 1 or 0 draws depending on what you have. Under maxx C you can usually do the same giving 1 or 2 draws (or 0 if you draw Petal + Konkon). Funnily enough Purulia hurts the Deck the most, but thankfully it is not very played at the moment.
Notes:
- The Deck can be surprisingly bricky since a lot of the cards require you to have a body on field (e.g., Konkon, Mudan) or Primrose needing a Tribute to happen. Because of this I tried reducing bricks as much as possible and decided to run 1 Konkon, no Snowdrow which doesn't come up at all, and 1 Princess which by itself does nothing. Yes Konkon helps break fields but realistically it will be negated/removed from the field anyways. Unfortunately it is a brick. Mudan can also theoretically be played at 1, however, the 2nd copy does come up a lot. I wouldn't advise 1 Mudan.
- If you open Petal + Any other combo Piece I usually dump Princess so I can immediately be insulated from interruptions.
- I'm running 3 Lonefire Blossom as well to help with the problem mentioned in point 1. Blossom also helps unbrick your Primrose in hand.
- I did run Fuwalos most of my climb but eventually decided to cut it. Elite players are very skilled playing around it and it feels afwul to have useless cards going 1st + it can get interrupted very easily via Ash/Crossout and you literally -1ed in a Format where Ash is very recyclable. I usually prefer the HTs approach almost always unless a specific charmy is 100% needed in a Format.
- 2 Primrose are 100% needed due to certain Lines where you need to use the Primrose on field to make Teardrop and you can search the 2nd Primrose with Glamour for the Opponent's Turn.
- You can theoretically play Jasmine + Cactus but I find it a bit cringe since the endboard is already kind of FTK without needing to play another brick in Main Deck + it loses hard to any negation on Cactus such as Imperm/Droplet/Crown since you require to sacrifice some endboard pieces to end on Cactus due to the 3 bodies needed to Summon it from Deck.
- Dancepione should definitely be played, I didn't want to craft it to be honest. I'd probably cut Dryas to fit Dancepione.
Replays
332-666-263 for Replays.
I have few Replays since I forgot to save most this Season. But I have some cool games saved VS 2 Dracotail & 1 Witchcrafter showcasing the full combo and how strong it is. The endboard is so strong that even Dracotail with Ketu + Rahu is unable to break it. Plus you have guaranteed follow-up with Petal + Princess in GY.
