Notes & Combos

This is dedicated blind-second. I would never main thrust otherwise. Once I hit Master II, I would keep getting sacked by go second cards that would trigger cause Ariseheart is a masas. So I decided to embrace it. Besides, Kash is like Swordsoul. Decent turn one play but so much better going second.

Deck Theory

I'm assuming that the majority of my matchups will be against Kashtira or Purrely.

• Triple thrust - 3 copies of any going-second card against Kash and Purrely.
• Pot of D instead of Pot of P - I go OTK and P stop that. It limits usage of TTT. Going second means you'll need as much fuel as possible. Replace crossout if you want 3.
• Small World - I search this card with Thrust if I need Kurikara. The only bridges you need to know are:
  • Riseheart/Scareclaw --> Ash = Kurikara
  • Ash --> Riseheart/Droll = Unicorn
  • Scareclaw --> Droll = Unicorn

Matchup Discussion

• Hardest - These decks make fields you lose against going-second and likely won't activate Thrust.
  • Floo - Bait battle phase so they summon Apex Avian. If you hard-drew Kurikara/Thrust + TTT, then you win.
  • Lab - Draw phase Maxx C will likely get them to activate both Welcome Labs early. That activates Thrust.
    • If they Skill Drain you, Dracosack is your out
  • Scareclaw - Tri-Heart outs are Lightning storm and Donner if they don't have Arrival.
    • Don't XYZ-lock yourself so that you can make Donner with TTT-stolen Tri-Heart
    • When you do clear Tri-Heart, make sure Unicorn is on board. When you attack, that'll be their last Tri-Heart.
• Medium - If you get your going second cards, you win. If you don't, you can still pull off a win unless they had the God Hand.
  • Naturia Runick - Birth kind of goes nutty against Naturia Runick on their turn.
  • Rikka - If they have cactus it's over.
  • Mikanko - We play two Scareclaw just so that we can have both on field just for headcases like this deck.
  • Ignister - Same
  • Mathmech - If they have super factorial with Diameter then good luck. Hope you hard draw Kurikara and still have starters
  • D-Link - Kurikara inshallah
  • Tearlaments - Yep
  • Purrely - Scareclaw Kash + Fenrir clears. If weak hand, Scareclaw Kash attack Noir and it's negated for rest of turn.
• Easy - You can just unga bunga your way through these.
  • Kashtira - Ariseheart is a masas. Activate a draw and now use your live TTT/Thrust.
  • Sky Striker/Swordsoul/Branded - Lol, lmao even.
