Notes & Combos
Played Shinobird again this season. My significant other is the reason I started playing this deck, and we both still use it, so she’s had a big influence on me sticking with it. More importantly, I genuinely enjoy how the deck plays and performs across most matchups, regardless of going first or second.
It felt especially strong during this KoG run, where I faced Despia, Tachyon, Betrooper, Dino, and Rogue in my final five games. I expect Despia and Tachyon in particular to be heavily represented in the upcoming KC Cup, and Shinobird handled those matchups well throughout this entire run.
Not much has changed from my previous build, as the deck continues to feel consistent and reliable in the current environment. I also have a few replays saved that showcase some of these matchups.
