Notes & Combos

🦋Introduction:

💙💙💙 Hiya!!! 💙💙💙

I made a pretty fast and smooth climb to Master V (at least, relative to my previous runs) with RT Striker (again ☺️), and right around my birthday as well! Since I climbed before the May selection pack which consists of Elfnote, Hecahands, and support for Exosister and Artmage, this description will not include any information or matchup details about them, so apologies if you were looking for that! The run was completed around May 6, but I was too lazy to post it!🙏

🦋Overview/Matchups (Really only Kewl Tune):

Kewl Tune 🎶: Striker is fortunately one of the best decks against Kewl Tune! With Striker's ability to evade disruptions while gathering and recurring board breakers, it is firmly well-positioned. From my experience, my only issue is their abundance of non-engine like Ash Blossom and Ghost Belle which can impede our plays.

Radiant Typhoon Engine 🌪️: I am again utilizing an expanded Radiant Typhoon engine with Striker! To make it brief, these additional cards establish stronger combos with Camellia, dump Spells to enhance the Striker cards, and help against backrow decks. However, they are more vulnerable to Purulia, Fuwalos, and Eldam and Swen are generally less favorable to draw going Second.

Super Polymerization🗲: This Quick-play Spell is very good into Kewl Tune! Even if they know it's in your hand, some players still do not know how to construct their board to play around it. Because its removal effect is almost always unimpeded, decks like Yummy, Dracotail, Kewl Tune, etc. that are reactive struggle against it.

Sky Striker Engine: Nothing too unique in my list, so I will add some cards you may consider adding: a second Lemnis (a preference for some Striker players as well as a stronger grind game), Cyanos (enhanced Camellia lines and provides additional follow-up that is very beneficial), Kaina (additional Linkage and Lemnisgate target), Shark Cannon, Afterburners/Jamming Waves (I wouldn't exactly recommend this for RT Striker, but it is a strong going second card off of Engage), and Azalea Temperance (I have never found the opportunity for using this card, but it is a good form of removal and body when locked by Linkage).

🦋Conclusion:

Overall, very smooth climb with multiple 4-5 winstreaks! I was fortunate in having the luck of the coin flip, but my going second games went quite well, too! Sincerest shoutouts to 🐑🐑🐑Floowooly🐑🐑🐑 and the Dungeon! 💙💙💙
