Hey Guys, how 'bout them decklist?

I've always enjoyed the idea of Panzers because they fuck off the field in their own way and being able to Superior them for the cost of optimistically Grade 3s just seems like the height of bitchiness.

Just got back from locals, 1st place :D final was against Narukami, tough match but I 2-0ed him. First match was long, both healed 3 damn times, literally got down to two cards in deck, but was victorious! Lizard Soldier Saishin smoked my mecha trainer every game lol.

Very nice.
Though he should've only been able to if Narukami went first

Oh dont worry, both times, not a single 10k guard in both starting hands to even take a chance.

Alright, here's my new deck:

Grade 0
1x Wingal Brave (will use Bluegal until set 5)
4x Bringer of Good Luck, Epona (Critical)
4x Alabaster Owl (Critical)
4x Future Knight, Llew (Critical)
4x Yggdrasil Maiden, Elaine (Heal)

Grade 1
4x Toypugal
4x Little Sage, Marron
2x Lake Maiden, Lien
4x Flash Shield, Iseult

Grade 2
4x Blaster Blade
3x Swordsman of the Blaze, Palamedes

Grade 3
4x Solitary Knight, Gancelot
4x Swordsman of the Explosive Flames, Palamedes
2x Twin Shine Swordsman, Marhaus
1x Knight of Conviction, Bors
1x Holy Disaster Dragon

if anyone wants a justification (not gonna copy paste a wall of text here)

I swear it works......MUCH better than I thought. It seems to fare VERY well against crossrides actually, and Majesty Lord Blaster is a joke against this deck for some reason......that, or I tested this deck against 200 or so noobs (I didn't).

Grade 0: 17

Hope Child, Turiel x 1

Sunny Smile Angel x 4
Happy Bell Nociel x 2
Bouquet Toss Messenger x 2
Critical Hit Angel x 4
Rocket Dash Unicorn x 4

Grade 1: 16

Pure Keeper, Requiel x 4
Thousand Ray Pegasus x 4
Burst Shot, Bethnael x 4
Battle Cupid, Nociel x 3
Lightning Charger x 1

Grade 2: 10

Love Machine Gun, Nociel x 2
Million Ray Pegasus x 4
Core Memory Armaros x 4

Grade 3: 7

Chief Nurse, Shamsiel x 4
The Pheonix, Calamity Flame x 3
Circular Saw, Kiriel x 1

I have 4 of both Nociels but I chose to go with smaller numbers because I was having problems with rearguard support for Sham. Putting in 2 more Armas instead of 2 more Nocies has netted me more cards in hand. The Kiriel Combo and the Ponies with a Sham vanguard would be my idealized set up but I unfortunately can't obtain it very often. I know my g3 count is low but I've only been gradestuck a handful of times thus far (mostly against Kagero) when I couldn't swap out a G3 in my damage zone to get it into my hand.

I'd call this deck my primary I think. It's the one I tend to use more frequently in locals even though it probably isn't as 'strong' persay as my Tsuku deck.

It's done well against everything but Goku and Spike Brothers, especially if the Spikes is a Juggernaut type build.

It seems so bizarre and it's hard to defend yourself with 12 grade 3s. Does it really work?

Of course it does. Look closely at it. Each Gancelot can correspond itself to a Blaster Blade, making it the same as if she had 11 Grade 2s.

Yeaaaah, there ARE a few flaws there, specifically, if you're depending on Gancelot for your ride, you HAVE to be able to use his skill when you're at G1(Meaning you had to draw him, or have him in your hand BEFORE you draw for your G2 ride turn, so it's only a pseudo G2.), otherwise you are behind in the grade game, obviouslly. Although, I HAVE found that some things that seem unlikely on paper do end up happening far more than they should in reality. Like my brother and Kryph. NEVER fails to use it, and this is after pile shuffle after pile shuffle. EVEN THOUGH THERE IS NO REASON HE SHOULD, STOP, okay, get my blood pressure down, okay, I'm good.

There's only like a 10% chance or less that you get your Grade 2 on the turn 2 draw. So yeah, Gancelot can count as a copy of Grade 2 for deck construction. In fact, using Barcgal and Gancelot is how Brigitte makes a Morikawa deck work.

Also I've said countless times that pile shuffling is wrong. Read my article on "Why you get bad draws"

Oooh, I think I made a big goof there. I thought it was simply making 7 piles by dealing off the top or bottom to each. Ehehehe...he, I'm a moron. *Open mouth, insert foot.*

Yeah, I noted this is my deck explanation. But it actually hasn't really become a problem yet.

Checking into grade 3s late game is more problematic.

Yeah this is your real problem. With no gordons to make up shielding, you can get shieldscrewed in late game and just die to explosive decks. Hence why that build just isn't up on my blog. However, for people who like that sort of thing, check out my Jellybeans-Emperor tech build with panzer gales. It gives you a searchable defensive out and more consistent rides.

It hasn't become too much a problem with 4 perfect guards (but I'm so used to using 1-2 in real life that anytime I use a deck with 4, it feels really easy).

But then again, I noticed that this deck tends to push the opponent to 4-5 damage while you're still at 2-3 (especially if they called no guard on an early Gancelot). The wins with this deck are usually consistently early due to its nature.

My Robert build that i can remember off the top of my head, Uses the Quantum, Peekaboo and Purple Trapezist combo to generate advantage.

Grade 0s: 17

Starter: Girl who Crossed the Gap

4x Critical Triggers

3x Purple Trapezist
4x Hades Hypnotist

4x Dusk Illusionist, Robert
4x Nightmare Doll, Alice

Giraffa Megacolony, spoilered for convenience

Spoiler:

The goal is to have your opponent make a face before the end of the game.

Oh god it's my IRL Megacolony build essentially. That's how I teched mine out except I have 1 Karma Queen, 2 8ks, and 1 Violent Vesper as techs.

My next deck for Locals:

Current atm, haven't playtested it yet.

Grade 0: Spark Kid Dragoon (Starter)

8x Crits

4x Draw

4x Heal

Grade 1

4x Guld

4x Red River Dragoon

3x Photon Bomber Wyvern

1x Desert Gunner Raien

2x Dragon Dancer Rai Rai

Grade 2

2x Djinn of the Lightning Flare

2x Dragonic Deathscythe

4x Thunderstorm Dragoon

4x Demonic Dragon Berserker Garuda

Grade 3

1x Breathrough Dragon

1x Thunderbreak dragon

2x Djinn of the Lightning Flash

4x Dragonic Kaiser Vermillion

I'm thinking of taking out some Garuda so I can run 4 deathscythe, and removing the Rairais for Raiens. Also going to put some shidens in when it comes out and possibly switch to a dungaree build until the The Blood and Eradicator Dragonic Descendant

Your deck seems kind of all over the place. Especially with the random rairai-thunderbreak at 1s and 2s. I also don't really see a reason for you to run the 8k vanilla when you have no 8k Grade 2s. For that matter, with the only 6ks other than those random rairais you should probably take out being Wyvern at 3, you don't need Lightning Flash AND the 10k vanilla. And yeah, you need Death Scythe, just not exchanged for Garuda. Otherwise looks pretty solid.

Hmm... how about for grade ones, 3 photon bomber, 4, guld, 4, red river, and 3 raien. Grade 2s, 4 deathscythe, 4 garuda, and 3 shiden (didnt know it was out, will work on getting it) and for grade 3s, 4 vermillion 2 thunderbreak and 2 lightning flash

If you use Shiden (I do recommend it), you can actually cut red river entirely for more 7ks. If you want.

Edit: or since you're using the Djinn/Breakthrough (I just noticed) go 4 Raien 3 Dragoon.

Ahh okay cool.

@Alice, in terms of your Phantom King decklist for shadow pallys, what kind of columns am I looking to set up besides dictator arianrhod and macha charon?

Looking to touch up on Alice's Leo-Pald build by replacing the G2 Hammsukes with some other unit.

Right now I'm thinking of Multimeter Giraffe who can hit for 21k given the right conditions (2 damage with a boosted Otter behind it); Lamp Camel who has really pretty art and a neat on hit ability; or a combination of the both.

I'm also thinking Camel > Koala because I feel like 7k defense on a G2 is icky.
