So for the first deck profile I've decided t do my current favourite deck and one that I feel is about to become very competitive. As shown above its the King of Knights' Vanguard Ezzell/ King of Knights Alfred Legion deck.
In the current format for the English game at least I feel that stride and Legion decks provide a very powerful combo that as a standard can't go wrong.
Our Winning Image - Calling our friends up to battle dealing around 4 attacks per turn as a minimum at around 11K-30K
So before I waste time breaking down the deck lets list the current state of the deck.
FV - Shining Knight, Millius
Grade 0 (16)
8 Critical ( I use 'Burning Mane Lion' and 'Seeker, Hallowed Breath Dragon')
4 Draw (Margal no questions asked)
4 Heal (I'm currently using 'Yggdrasil Maiden, Elaine')
Grade 1 (14)
2 Gigantech Shot Putter
2 Hidden Sage, Miron
2 Laurel Knight, Sicilus (Stride Fodder)
2 Lake Maiden, Lien
2 Knight of Shield Bash
4 Rainbow Guardian (Perfect Guard)
Grade 2 (11)
3 Blaster Blade Spirit
4 Knight of Twin Sword
4 Knight of Fragment
Grade 3 (8)
4 King of Knights' Vanguard, Ezzell
4 King of Knights' Alfred
G-Zone
1 Divine Knight of Flashing Flame, Samuel
2 Holy Dragon, Saint Blow Dragon
2 Rain Element, Madew
3 Shrouded Divine Knight, Gablade
So the first things to notice is the Grade 1 line up, as we aren't a stride specific deck or run Altmille at all I don't see a need what so ever to have more than 2 of the fodder. As for the rest of the units they are the different turns that might be required.
For Under 1 Counter Blast and a Persona Blast/ 2 Soul Blast you can have a strong front row with Gigantech Shot Putter, Hidden Sage, Miron gives you more hand, Lake Maiden Lien allows you the change to 1 card in hand which could mean a perfect guard or more persona fodder.
And knight of shield bash provides a perfect column if needed, that 10K attack does more than you'd think.
The main idea is to Survive to Grade 3 (whilst there VG is at Grade 3) taking ideally 3 DMG. The ideal turn is to stride over Alfred using Ezzell as Fodder and stride into Madew to get Ezzell back, then just do a pressure turn to try and get another Grade 3 to hand (To pay for Ezzel next Turn).
If you miss Alfred prior to the above turn then using Ezzell and striding into Garblade works just fine, dont worry about using Ezzell as fodder in this case as we have Alfreds CB3 abilitiy to call any grade 2 or below to the field which can be used to get Hiden Sage Miron to the field and use that effect to get a second drawer next turn.
In terms of attacking the ideal turn is to have GB1 and around 4 CB with Ezzell in Legion and at least 2 grade 1's in hand,1 grade 2 in hand and persona cost. This allows us to fill the field and resolve 2 effects buffing our units whilst ensuring our VG is at 31K as a minimum.
Take the below field as an example.
Empty VG - Ezzell/ Alfred Legion Empty
Empty Empty Empty
Say in our hand we have, 1 Lake Maiden Lien, 1 Laurel Knight Sicilus, King of Knights Alfred and 1 Knight of Fragment.
We are at 3 in soul, 1 Shining Knight Millius, 1 Knight of Shield bash, 1 Blaster Blade Spirit, 1 Knight of Knights Alfred.
GB 1 and 4 CB.
After we draw unless we get a Knight of Twin sword our turn would be to call Knight of Fragment to the top right rear guard column.
Knight of Fragment VG - Ezzell/ Alfred Legion Empty
Empty Empty Empty
Then resolve Ezzell's effect, we discard Alfred from hand and soul blast our Alfred and the Blaster Blade Spirit.
In our deck we then seek assuming we still have them (awareness of dropzone and damage is needed) 1 Knight of Twin Sword, 1 Gigantech Shot Putter, 1 Margal
Knight of Fragment VG - Ezzell/ Alfred Legion Knight of Twin Sword
Gigantech Shot Putter Empty Margal
We then use Gigantech Shot putters Effect CB 1 and retire that unit, power goes to Knight of Fragment and Knight of Twin Sword. Then we use Margal's power and give the power to either Alfred or Knight of Fragment.
After this we call the Laurel Knight and Lake Maiden to the field, Laurel behind Knight of twin sword and Lake Maiden behind Alfred.
Knight of Fragment VG - Ezzell/ Alfred Legion Knight of Twin Sword
Empty Lake Maiden, Lien Laurel Knight, Sicilus
We would then use the effect of Alfred to call Hidden Sage Miron to the empty space behind knight of Fragment. We then counter blast 1 and drawer a card, this allows us to get a useful card to hand if its not good then discard it and stand Lien for another card.
Knight of Fragment VG - Ezzell/ Alfred Legion Knight of Twin Sword
Hidden Sage, Miron Lake Maiden, Lien Laurel Knight, Sicilus
Now we can attack! So our first attack would be with Knight of Fragment if they have a small hand (the idea here is that they have to guard they can't afford not to, if they dont on an unboosted 16k knight of fragment then we un-flip 1 DMG and then knight of Twin sword calls a Blaster Blade Spirit or another Knight of Fragment which is then booster to either 16k with BBS or 17K with knight of fragment all assuming no triggers)
I'm sure that the rest can be imagined, I dont want to give away all my plans!!! ;P
When I get a bit of free time I'm sure I can work on a youtube video or two either explaining the above or showing it in action.
For improvements, although I love the way it works at the moment for improvements in the future, In the next Booster we get Altmille's Stride unit, we should change around our G-Zone to be as follows.
G-Zone
1 Divine Knight of Flashing Flame, Samuel
1 Rain Element, Madew
2 Holy Dragon, Saint Blow Dragon
2 Soaring Divine Knight, Altmile
2 Shrouded Divine Knight, Gablade
Our Grade 1, 2 and 3 Line Ups would change to be as follows.
Grade 3
1 Blue Sky Knight, Altmile
4 King of Knights' Alfred
4 King of Knights' Vanguard Ezzell
Grade 2
4 Knight of Twin Sword
3 Knight of Fragment
2 Techgal
2 Blaster Blade Spirit
Grade 1
4 Perfect Guard (The unflipper one)
4 Laurel Knight, Sicilus (Strider and Altmile seekers)
3 Hidden Sage Miron
2 Knight of Shield Bash
Also with the addition of 3 Altmiles I would think that we could make a change to our grade 0's to include the booster crit.
Grade 0
8 Crit ( 4 Burning mane Lion and 4 Bringer of Dreams, Belenus)
4 Draw (Margal)
4 Heal (Whatever card you like best!)
As I've not used the above changes at all due to the lack of net decking I can't say if its a good change or if its not going to work, I think using partial Altmile Like this will be the best, if we miss alfred/ ezzell completely.
Its just another backup/ win condition.
Well then I think I've ranted another about Royal Paladin. Just wait for the Comic Booster that is coming to English format in November (I sadly see maybe 2 cards that I can use from it). Any questions? want to ask why I don't use a 'insert card name here' or why I use a particular card?
Thats all for now till the next time (I'll likely use more pretty pictures next time)! Be Easy?
