Notes & Combos

The main deck is literally just 1 of every Sky Striker card, except Engage at 3 and field spell at 0, plus the Spellbook draw engine, Monster Reborn, Metalfoes Fusion and Rainbow Life. Spellbook engine gives extra card advantage and easy spells in GY. Monster Reborn allows for easier OTK/Xyz plays. Metalfoes Fusion is the best fodder to pair with the free field spell from skill. Rainbow Life is the best card in the deck. It is the only way to reliably survive a kaiju, the cost is trivial for this deck, and gaining LP is a huge upside compared to Hallowed Life Barrier and Pulse Mines. Unfortunately, only 1 copy can be played because of Widow Anchor. I never felt like I was missing the second Widow Anchor. Shout out to Scissors Cross for finally being playable (and actually good) and Linkage for being very mid (yet still essential).

Extra deck is pretty standard. Xyz options are Tornado Dragon and Abyss Dweller. Looking at the tier list, Tornado Dragon is effective against Despia, Ancient Gear, Utopia, Gusto, while Abyss Dweller is effective against Shaddoll, Chimera, Resonator. Xyz + Eagle Booster is the ideal going first play, but requires some luck (though Engage and Spellbook draws do make it easier). Never really needed Hayate other than the free one from skill. The usual OTK play is Underclock Taker + Crusadia Equimax, which is a killer combo alongside H.A.M.P. and comes up quite often. Artemis is used to clear Spellbook Magician from the main monster zone if needed.
