Sky Striker 2023 Abusing Azalea Master Rank 1 Deck Profile (August 2023) - Yu-Gi-Oh: Master Duel

[@myi64]

Great showcase of Azalea! Really helpful for me understanding how to use her.

[@Lawand-D-Nero]

Glad it was helpful 🥰

[@PanTheEyes]

always make me feel good watching you play sky striker. it gives me a random boost of motivation to play only to get 3 consecutive bad draws with no hand traps every time

[@Lawand-D-Nero]

😅 I'm glad to hear the first part, 🥰😊 Don't worry about it it happens sometimes 😅😅

[@bobstoner415]

Been learning so much in just a few days from your videos, thanks so much! I have ordered the cards already and am pumped to get really good with them! I didnt get Azalea and waiting for Accesscode in the rarity II collection so hopfully he will be more reasonable.

[@Lawand-D-Nero]

Glad you like them and they where useful ❤🥰❤

[@andrewhines8234]

I love me some top tier SS showcases! Well done, sub earned Looking forward to seeing more!

[@Lawand-D-Nero]

Thank you so much 💓❤️🥰, glad you enjoyed it ❤️🥰

[@ventusx4345]

Evenly winning unwinnable games

[@Lawand-D-Nero]

Yup but you have to bait so hard for it, 😂😅 sacrificed 2 Engage for that Evenly in game 1

[@ReneRodriguez-qd8pj]

@@Lawand-D-Nerobut it still won you that game. Card is insane

[@Lawand-D-Nero]

@@ReneRodriguez-qd8pj Yup 🥰

[@cnydo]

Tear is insane. Even if they eat one evenly they can still grind for quite a long time. He only lose because he didn't read azalea's effect

[@noxumbra3429]

And when you resolve it they just scoop, while you had to watch their 5 minutes solitaire gameplay

[@nguyengiahuy5776]

3:44 Target Dragonstapellia but Reinoheart is negated 😂

[@Lawand-D-Nero]

😂😂 lol, I just noticed that 😅🤦‍♂️

[@HowdyItsMarc]

I often play naturia so going against sky striker is always funny as they chain like 3 spells to nat beast then scoop lol.

[@Lawand-D-Nero]

😂

[@Renne__]

Love it! I have all SS cards except Azalea, might be playing this since i miss this deck

[@Renne__]

i also have a question, how do you beat avramax with ip as material in this deck? since most SS cards are "target"

[@Lawand-D-Nero]

Glad that you will come back to the deck 🥰🔥 Regarding Avramax-Ip, currently for this list i didnt run any tower protected removals since honestly didn't face many Avramax-ips this season and if you start seeing alot the solution is easy. To out Avramax-ip you can either Replace Unicorn with Ningirsue or you can play H.A.M.P if you are a fan of him or by TTT 🥰😊 If it is just Avramax the current list can out it easily by Azalea BP effect. 🥰

[@Renne__]

@@Lawand-D-Nero oh yeah, thanks for the info, i haven't read abt azalea

[@nurianailyaspratama9500]

I watch this video more than 5 times. Then got 10 times win streak with sky stiker in diamond. Thanks mate 🎉

[@Lawand-D-Nero]

My pleasure 🥰 glad it could help. Congratulations, and keep it up ❤️🥰

[@adityawiryawan560]

At 4:17 you couldve destroyed the predaplant first (since it doesnt have a GY effect), then turn to azalea to pop Rukallos, then chain the bounce effect with shark cannon. That way you have way more resource with 1 more afterburner pop remaining next turn on hand, than using it all.

[@Lawand-D-Nero]

That would be so good way to save recourses. However, Azalea effect happens during Damage Step (First Phase of dmg step) and during this step Shark Cannon can't be active since only cards that say ''Negate the Activation'' can be actived, overwise i would have done what you just said 🥰

[@herveytay8225]

If can use sky striker to fight the meta, then it prove u're strong player and have very good understanding for other deck

[@Lawand-D-Nero]

Thank you 🥰😊

[@eduaugustoads]

What are your thoughts about running a second Roze so that it doesn't hurt as much when Pot banishes one

[@Lawand-D-Nero]

It is great, i do actually run 2 Rozes in TCG🥰🥰

[@JustinKara-l3i]

Would you recommend to play Underworld goddess in Sky striker?

[@Lawand-D-Nero]

Yea, why not, I used to play her in past seasons to remove towers. 🥰 lucky this season I didn't face many Avramax-Ip or End Punisher that why I decided to cut her since she didn't have any other use apart from that 🥰 So if you have hard time dealing with Towers or you face many then you can either run her or run HAMP in main deck 😊

[@jesse4632]

Hi, I would really like to learn how to play the deck. Please can you teach me

[@Lawand-D-Nero]

Hello, sure thing. 🥰😊 If you have discord join Masterduelmeta discord and they have Sky Striker section, there are also a lot of ppls that would teach you 1-2 things besides me 🥰😊

[@fjo9492]

Do we always want to go second with sky striker?

[@Lawand-D-Nero]

Yeah, always go 2nd with this list 🥰😊

[@HDSRosa]

How good is the new azalea you're testing in here? Would you put this version above the one you usually play?

[@Lawand-D-Nero]

She is so good when you need her like for example, in the Marinsus game if it was the old version the only way to out that link 4 tower would have being by either Accesscode or Goddess or making Unicorn then bouncing the Field spell to deck (which would have needed 4 cards at least). Main while when you have Azalea it is only 2 cards removal + the BP effect which only afew ppl knows about 🥰 And yeah would put this above the previous month version aslo there is a chance to drop Hiita for 2nd Zeke since i havent seen alot of Spright this month. 😊🥰

[@MH_Zard]

@@Lawand-D-Nero Glad you get how good Azalea is. Other decks summon her easier. But her utility is undeniable. I've been able to convert no ace hands just by taking two darks or using Dharc and just making her to bridge for an ace. She also removes or baits problem cards.

[@Lawand-D-Nero]

Yup, that is what makes her so cool. 🥰 And the Dhark line is a life saver when you don't have any access to your Sky links :3

[@saifounissi3828]

why no ttt even tho it's such a high value card rn,also wouldn't veiler instead of imperm make azalea more accessible

[@Lawand-D-Nero]

Removed TTT since last month due to all these Stun decks on the ladder, it is like a high value card or a card that you will never use if opponent was on Stun, but will differently see plays when Kashtria gets the new supports or when they add Thrust. 🥰 Regarding Veiler it is kinda the same like you will still need to waste the NS on Veiler and if opponent didn't have any dark/light to take by Shark or Widow it will still be the same thing as not having her or NS Raye/Roze would be better. 😅 and Again Veiler will be useless soon once Kash Fullpower drops or if they add Thrust to the game 😅. 😊

[@khanghoang4347]

i'm newbie and i just started building this deck, can i replace unicorn by ningirsu instead? ( i just learn how to play, pls explain if i wrong 😅)

[@Lawand-D-Nero]

I would have switched to Ningirsu as well instead of Unicorn if I have faced any Avramax-IP. 🥰 i would most likely do that in next month 🥰 so it is good don't worry about it 😊

[@hs-argen583]

hey there small question how are you able to use shizuku before mutirole?

[@Lawand-D-Nero]

Since the last update, they fixed Shizuku and Multirole interaction. In case you still can't use her before Multi try to have the Chains on "ON" and when it show you Multirole role refuse it and then it should show you Shizuku 🥰😊

[@hs-argen583]

Thanks❤

[@Lawand-D-Nero]

@hs-argen583 Glad I could help 🥰😊

[@juanmendoza-qm1td]

What is the effect of kaina before of the end of the turn ? Before to play shizouku? The monster select in the next turn can’t stack or what is the reason to use kaina in your turn ? Thanks

[@Lawand-D-Nero]

Kaian makes the target monster unable to attack till the end of your opponent turn. And the reason behind using her during my turn was due to that Rulkallos can Negate Raye from grave which would have forced me to only have Engage next turn + the draw. That why I used Kaiana during my turn so that he can't kill my Shizu unless he top deck something good 🥰😊 My pleasure, feel free to ask anything

Nice video ! I've just discovered this channel and it looks great I use to play Droplets x3 in my Sky Striker list along with 2 Lightning Storms, do you think I should cut them and go for Ghost Belle + Called By ? I feel like Droplets is a nice card to break boards and is nice to get the good amount of spells in the GY. (I don't mind crafting cards since I only play Sky Striker)

[@Lawand-D-Nero]

Thank you for the beautiful comment. I hope you liked the channel 🥰😊🥰 Droplet and LS are always great cards in Sky Striker, especially Droplet, since you can do some spicy tricks with it 😊 Anyway. I would say keep them for now till Kashtira gets Arise Heart. That card will make Droplet unless since he shuts down "send to grave" effects. So till he comes to MD, we are fine running Droplet 🥰😊

the best Selene or Knightmare Unicorn?

[@Lawand-D-Nero]

If you don't run any spellcaster handtraps Unicorn is better or even Ningirsu would be nice since he can remove some towers. main while, if you run spellcaster handtraps and you personally like Selene style. that would be the only time i would recommend Selene when Halq is still on banned list. 🥰

[@randomgenretalk8151]

Good deck profile but i think there are 3 cards that i can highly recommand to every Sky Striker player. Reasoning: Forces your opponent to choose a monster level, it can be between 1-12 and you draw as many cards until you draw a monster that you can play. The rest of the cards goes to the graveyard which based on how many you put into it can instantly unlock the second effects of your Sky Striker spells. Also with Magical Stone and Kagari, you can bring you most inportant spells back. In also Makes Kagari and Shizune more powerful which is very good on it's own. In the best case it puts Linkage for you into the GY so you can get it back right away. A very good cards for Sky Striker decks, i play this card a lot. Kaiser Colosseum: It's like a softer and permanent version of Evenly Matchet. You opponent can only play as many monsters as you currently have on the field. SInce Sky Striker relies on one card that gets replaced by another one, this card is very powerful. It's a good combo breaker and it can adjust itself, if you play more monsters, you opponent can it too. With that you don't have to destroy the card in order to play more monsters to get Zeke or Access Code Talker. It's a very good First Turn card but for going Second it can also be very strong. Parallel Port Armor: This trap card equipps itself on one of your link monsters, it cannot be destroyed by battle and be targeted by card effects. If this card is in your GY, you can banish it with two link monster that are also in your GY. By doing that on of your link monsters gained a second attack. This card is insane wit the right Linkage setup and a very good combo extender for the Linkage combo. It fits so well with the replacement of your link monsters and the ongoing battle phase. I hope it's not rude to recommand these cards because i don't want to make it look like your deck profile is not good or something. I only want to make aware of these cards because i had so much fun using them with Sky Striker.

[@Lawand-D-Nero]

Thank you for the beautiful comment, no worries at all i love to try different things 🥰 Regarding Reasoning, the card is so good yeah. i used to play it when Ruick come out 😊 and the reason why i don't run it in pure version is sometimes it might hit the handtraps which will block your Monster Zone (MZ) and if you don't have a pilot you will end up locking yourself. 😅 As for Kaiser, no one can diene how good that card is and how hard it is for opponents to out it. 🥰 i used it when Tearls were on top in couple of my videos and unfortunately cut it out when they add Bystials and when it was used by almost everyone (2 months ago) since they could out it easily by Branded Beast (the trap). 🥰 However Kaiser was one of the greatest card i have used in the deck and would use it again in future if the meta was correct 🥰 Also, Regarding Parallel Port Armor, i just looked it up and that trap looks good 🔥 i think it worth testing and making a video on it 😊 might try it soon and see how it will end up :3 Thank you again 🥰 i loved the recommendation \('^')/

[@randomgenretalk8151]

@@Lawand-D-Nero Thank you for your answer! Sometimes Reasoning hit my hand trap by accident too, lucky for me i had Area Zero and Multirole to correct it. I still would say the benefit is bigger than the downside but the result of the card can change and especially with Sky Striker you need more consistency. So i absolutely understand if you cut it out because of that, maybe my experience will change but this card helped me a lot. I hope you like Parallel Port Armor, it really is amazing during combos and i'm looking forward for future videos. There is one thing i forgot to mention but at least in Master Duel there is not the full support there yet. But i also saw Sky Striker players with Bamboo Swords, the Oiriginal and Cursed Bamboo sword. Especially the Original Bamboo Sword is a amazing Hayate card. Because if you attack your opponent directly, it destroys all of their monsters on the field. I hope it hits Master Duel soon, the Cursed one gives you a direct attack. You haveto build around it and i still test it aswell but if the full support is there, maybe it's worth a try aswell.

[@noxumbra3429]

Good showcase. Personally don’t feel like I have the room for her as I run ultimate slayer. Also had to drop the desires because of diablosis… Also tear never runs out of gas what a fair and balanced deck lmao

[@Lawand-D-Nero]

Yup 😅 she is great try to find one 🥰 Wait for Kash cards that are not in MD yet 😅🤦‍♂️ they can compete with tearls in term of "fair and balance"😅😅

[@noxumbra3429]

Yeah after watching your video I will try to get an azalea and try her out for myself. Did you climb to M1 with only striker? And how fast? Honeslty impressive, I simply can’t take the suffering for too long lol. I climbed with exoshifter first week. Takes some mental fortitude to always go second vs ish tear and bystials as striker

[@Lawand-D-Nero]

@noxumbra3429 Yeah, I only climb with Striker (since it is the fastest deck for me). 🥰 it took me like 2-3 hrs to reach M5 from D5 at day 7 of this month then waited for Azalea to have her in the videos. 🥰 After that it took around 2 hrs to reach M4 then M4 to M3 was easy I did it in 1 run, which took nearly 1 hr. After that, M3->M2 was the hardest one it took me like 3 hrs and reached M1 the next day after playing for less than an hour. 😅 so, in total, I guess it took me 10-11 hrs to reach M1 from D5 🥰🔥

[@noxumbra3429]

@@Lawand-D-Nero nice! Maybe I’ll be as good as you on striker someday eheheh, I really like to play it at least, but I’m much better on exo. ( also I like going first to stop opponents from playing too lol. ) Both decks fit my resource management/ strategy/control playstyle. Breaking boards with careful planning is an awesome feeling with striker BUT this game is so favored for whoever goes first.

[@Lawand-D-Nero]

@noxumbra3429 Thanks 🥰, yup, you can 🔥 And yeah, the game supports going 1st, 😅 even with all these going 2nd cards, going 1st still has a huge impact 😅🤦‍♂️. As someone who is always losing the dice role or the coin flip, used to be on going 2nd side most of the time 😅 that why Stiker is still my favourite deck since 2018 (the release) 🥰😊🥰

[@lolieunha1355]

How about adding fenrir?

[@Lawand-D-Nero]

The thing about Fen, he is good no one can deny but his problem is as follow: If you can't remove him or if you get interrupted and couldn't link himoff you are basically turning your deck off completely (just like the Striker mirror guy, he lost because he locked himself at game 2). As for the good side, he is good vs floodgate users or vs Kashtira matches since you can just ss him and then go to battle. However, personally i don't like him for current format in striker, that why decided to not run him 🥰😊

[@MarioLopez-xs3vc]

When Evenly Matched is the only board wipe worth playing and games STILL take a while after resolving it. PHEW! I've been on Bystial Engine for a while and it has easier time making Azalea and Chaos Angel, but against certain decks I have to open Lubellion or dump something like H.A.M.P. or an extra Raye to avoid them sitting in hand forever. But I'll take having an easier time against Tearlaments and Dragon Link over having to think a little against Kashtira and other "Element" decks.

[@Lawand-D-Nero]

Yup, the Bystial package is still cool and it can do crazy stuffs with CA then making Azalea 🔥🥰
