Notes & Combos

Been playing Skystriker since middle of last month around when I started playing again. Didn't get KOG last month so really wanted to this time.

Firstly Mutually Affured Destruction is so OP, disgusting and criminal, but you gotta do what you gotta do f*** Dragons ✊.

And the Spellbook package really is nice. I saw it in the KC Skystriker lists and instantly wanted to try it out. Having to use your Normalsummon for Spellbook Magician of Prophecy can be enoying since you then need to use Area Zero or Linkage to get into your Links. With all the BE on the ladder and Blue-Eyes Spirit Dragon GY negate you can be stuck sometimes if you don't watch out but you don't need your Normalsummon if you learn to play around it and the Pot of Greed with 2 Spells in GY setup give you alot more options when taking apart boards.

A play that I went for going First was to Summon Shiziku with Linkage for the +1000 ATK and Eagle Booster. It really is very very safe and with 2 Linkage you still have your OTK after using one without needing to Set it with Multirole or geting it with Kagari.

I tried lists with Lord of the Heavenly Prison and Nibiru. Heavenly Prison only really helped against Blue Eyes. While Nibiru was a dead card so often, since BE often doesn't even summon 5 times and Dragons gets their Omni Negate Dragonmaid up before you can use Nibiru. So I took them out and the deck also become more consistant.

Something I started doing quite late that really helped was going for the grindgame. I timed out when learning the deck really often but after I got into the deck chiping enemies down with Hayate and the Card advantage from Multirole really make alot more games winable then I thought at first. Also Multiroles first effect goes through so often and just decides Duels on the spot.

Also tried variants with Scissors Cross and more XYZ monsters where you use the Skill to send your Link Sky Striker to the Graveyard, after recycling Engage with Kagari if possible. To then summon Raye or Roze from Graveyard with Scissors Cross and use Roze effect in hand or Normalsummon Raye and then go into your chosen XYZ. Alot of Decks have Kaijus or Underworld Goddess and just get rid of your Eagle Booster protected XYZ so it often didn't work out for me. Which is why I went without it in the end.

Also had Dweller since it's not banned yet really rarely used it. Since I don't have Scissors Cross, Summoning it with Backrow can be difficult since you can't go into your Links.
