The best part i think about striker as a deck is it rewards skilled pilots and smart meta calls to build the deck around. It's constantly adapting to new formats, and while it doesnt get many top cut spots (especially at the moment) the few talented players will almost always manage to do well with the deck. The skill ceiling just feels consistantly high, and I'm glad it's getting more support that keeps its identity. also new dark link 2 monster was reveiled. striker keeps on keepin on.

[@Yhsanave_]

One of my all time favorite decks will always be slash draw strikers. Pure Sky Strikers + 3 Advance Draw and 3 Slash Draw. You activate engage as many times as possible to draw through most of your deck over the course of a few turns, using the control power of strikers to keep your opponent in check and stay alive, until you have few enough cards to guarantee a slash draw hit by stacking your deck with advance draw to blow them up out of nowhere. Such a fun deck until they killed engage and slash draw :(
