Information

Pretty standard stuff here.

Been playing this deck for about a 3 months to Masters now and still believe it to be the best deck for me. Singleton Daisho and Staff have continued to be exceptional for me as you rarely have unplayable cards in your opener and when you do it's likely that you'll be able to Strategize them away and Rise for them later. I go back and forth on Sword of Icaria but have settled on two because most of the time it doesn't remove more than a single unit and typically it will be of no use against the beef cakes that can pummel armory decks (SST, Tavrod, etc) but can be a great card to Rise for later in the game when you need to squeeze in some extra dmg.

Problem decks for me have typically been Burn Queen and Skaggro, but lately I've noticed that Praxis and the Echo Revenge deck are also quite strong against this deck. Praxis has many forms but I'm referring to the version where they Power Stone and Dawnwalker early and then jam large threat after threat in turns 4+. In order to beat this deck I usually have to play perfectly and not get forced into blowing my Harsh Rule too early. As for the Echo Revenge deck, unless I can counter every Rise to the Challenge they play to try and stop the combo, or if I happen to be running Rain of Frogs and hit one of the key pieces, its near impossible to win. The Feln matchup is also pretty dependent on the flavor of deck but typically as long as they're not able to land a Vara loop the deck does fine.

Love this deck, wish you could stick Wanted Poster in there somehow

Me too! It's not performing as well with the introduction of set 3, but I'm still trying to make it work.

As for Wanted poster, while I dig drawing two cards, I find the curse to not be dependable and is not really resource efficient. You'll almost always end up spending two cards (poster + torch/harsh rule/weapon) to draw two and I personally prefer that effect to not come with a condition or potentially card disadvantage (see finest hour/protect).
