Those types of cards are definitely really good when there are no omni negates on the board

@@tcgsam yessir. I took Caesar and it forced a trade with rage and phantom

Glad to hear it helped!

With hts you can stop the opp and also when you get board broken, you atleast have hts to protect yourself

@@RoBin-ec1fd so you mean the hts your oppenent would normally use on your turn to counter f.e. maxx c with an ash, would still be a problem? I feel like the handstraps often nullify each other and you always are at a big disadvantage when going second. Often times, the field itself (even when you used 2 handtraps to interrupt the oppenent) is way too strong to play through.

I think that's a bit different, since it actively benefits the Mikanko engine. I was trying to explain these cards in the context of most decks

@@tcgsam yeah but still it depends on deck

I feel like you'd just rather run feather duster at that point, less hoops to jump through for the same thing

In general, I'd say ending on caliga as a floodgate is your best bet, and maybe main decking some specific hate for those decks

Would be tough for many people to get it if I picked an obscure card like that LOL, good job though!

My bad, I will try to make the hints more applicable to more players in the future

Fair enough, my logic was that harpie's played more as a monster/rank 4 spam deck, but I see where you're coming from. I figured people weren't playing harpies as an exclusively anti backrow deck, rather, it was just an option they had

I guess functionally they could be the same thing lol
