8 Standby Tensura (Slime) Deck Profile/Discussion [Weiss Schwarz]

[@bixomin7065]

I was wondering… what happens to the revealed cards by the drago buster event? they are shuffled back into the deck? after or before the top clock effect? and do the refresh happens when there are less than 7 cards in deck? Sorry for all the questions, and really wanting some gameplay on this 8 standby deck in the channel!! Loved the deck, the event and Milim!

[@TressasCollectibles]

The cards revealed by the Drago Buster event technically never leave the deck, and are simply revealed- so you reveal them and then shuffle the deck, with those cards still part of the deck, and then apply the topcard to clock effect afterwards. If there are less than seven cards left in the deck, you only reveal however many cards are left, shuffle, and then apply topcard to clock effect. Definitely look forward to gameplay videos of all the new slime builds in the coming weeks!

Was wondering if you can suggest replacement for the 0/0 Shizu from vol.1 Now it is really hard to find :/ Are there similar options from the TD or vol 1/2?

[@TressasCollectibles]

You can consider other cards that let you mill through your deck- the blue RR rimuru from set 1 if you have access to that, or Battle in the Goblin’s Village from set 2 might be okay alternatives

[@RarecuisineGaming]

Set 1 prices are ridiculous! Even the rares are like $20+ . Can an 8 standby deck be played without any set 1 cards until the reprint comes? I'm sure it will be suboptimal but I can't pay those prices.

[@RarecuisineGaming]

Alternatively, is there a better Slime Vol 2. only deck?

[@TressasCollectibles]

@@RarecuisineGaming your best bet for a budget conscious pure set 2 build is most likely an 8 choice variant, with some Ramiris (UC from set one) if you can get some for cheap. In the 8 standby deck, the utility level 0 from set one is extremely important so it’s tough to recommend replacements. You can check out some of the other comments for ideas on replacements.

[@bakasamacollects2054]

You cant encore if you sac it right?

[@TressasCollectibles]

You can! Anytime a character goes to the waiting room from the stage, you have the option of encoring that character. Encore is not limited to just the encore step.

Was wondering if there were any replacement cards i could use for the set 1 rimuru red lvl 0 and the set 1 shizu lvl 0 THX

[@Shizukatz]

Short answer: No. Long answer: The reason I say "no" is because the Lv0 Rimuru and Shizu both do two specific things: They can mill through the deck, which is important to get Gelds into Waiting Room as fast as possible, and they either replace themselves or save themselves after attacking in order to maintain card advantage. No other card in Tensura (either set) does both of those things, except for a really bad Gabiru Lv0 card (don't play that). That being said, if I had to make a recommendation for a cheap and readily-available substitution (as I assume the main issue with the Rimuru and Shizu is that they are set 1 cards and therefore harder to find/more expensive than comfortable), I would personally pick Icicle Lance Eren. She can rearrange the top 2 cards of your deck on-play, letting you see what your upcoming triggers are (but more importantly, making it so that you can avoid triggering Standby on the 1st attack of the turn, which is never good), and also can potentially get you a +1 with her other effect during the early game. Unfortunately she doesn't exactly contribute to milling all that much, which can be really detrimental to your overall gameplan, and I would still definitely recommend picking up the Rimuru and Shizu if you can.

@@Shizukatz i just picked up the shizus but i can't find anyone selling the rimuru which is the annoying part. Currently I'm substituting the lvl 0 yellow rimuru that searches
