UPSTART TO 3?!? SKY STRIKER JANUARY 2024 DECK PROFILE

[@aVo_001]

Raye is probably rouge with the right pilot. Outside of that, a run of the mill player will get smacked. Sky Striker is a very fair deck that allows the opponent to respond to nearly everything they do. Games routinely go 3-6 turns. Nearly every win with Sky Striker means you legitimately outplayed your opponent unless they bricked.

Unless you play Floodgate :)

Definatly side Grave of the Super Ancient Organism, doesn't hurt striker at all and completely turns off the boss monsters of many decks. For example, Branded, Swordsoul, Mannadiumm, and many others. Other than that I think it is a great profile, another thing I like using in the link Wynn to steal Barons.

[@notacaxi]

I'm currently testing with hidden armory (mill 1) + snatch steal for link like s:p, accesscode,.. I even thought trying with mind control too (3 now). Going second striker gonna be solid!

[@DXcellence718Returns]

No raye no play baby

[@cbgg1585]

Arrgh.. really want to run Droplets, but most the time I find myself not wanting to discard (a) a hand trap or (b) a spell like Thrust. Dark Ruler No More feels the more rounded and safest pick imo.

[@midnightcarnivalxxR]

In what situation do u side out Forbiddden Droplet?

[@VenomRunsDeep]

i think you should consider running change of heart, some people are not ready when u take their borrelend and wipe their entire board with it

[@LordSethisKing]

But Borrelend can't be targeted tho

[@VenomRunsDeep]

@@LordSethisKing by spells it can

[@LordSethisKing]

@@VenomRunsDeep Oh damn. Thanks lol. I run CoH i love it

[@HybridMMAExtreme]

No mind controll???

[@NephithysTheDark]

It came back to 3.

[@Rafildinho]

3 Upstarts? When the droll it’s viable idk man!

[@KevinKawaii]

Ye droll sucks when you get hit with it but tbh you can play around it since back in the day when striker mirrors were the norm good players would just send engag and set up if you get droll’d

[@ExiTecH17]

Nice 😮

[@Lpo-ee4fo]

Can u do a combo guide PLS?

[@ShimiTexas]

Kev, what about Snatch?

[@KevinKawaii]

Idk I know it’s a sacky card but I feel widow anchor kinda serves the same purpose. I can’t find my copy either but it’s probably somewhere in my pile of cards lol

[@metalmariomega]

Since this is a "Droll Format", you want them Upstarts to be drawing into Crossouts and the 1 Called by for the punish. And always have a Trap you can set with Thrust to make the opponent cry after siding when they force you to go first, usually D.Barrier works if you KNOW what you'll be up against(yep siding cheese), but if the opponent's on Lab or mill shenanigans Different Dimension Ground is an option. Spellbound can do some stuff if they're on Links or the birds but it's not the most amazing thing and not a Thrust target. Speaking of Thrust targets, Spiritual Water Art is funny for hand ripping, especially if you can follow up with Linakage to put a monster back on the field right after. All the new Monster Theft options are going to be great once the new Links come out to make going into Link 2, 3, or even FOUR plays an option after nabbing the board. Until then you're stuck with Raye holding the fort, though in many peoples' cases that's what they want, to each his own.

[@imvipox9776]

this isnt a droll format tho? rescue ace lab and fire king all play around droll
