First half of games, but I honestly don't feel like doing the rest. I tried a bunch of different cards, so there's no deck list this time. There are also probably some misplays in here since I haven't been playing much. The game against the Yubel player with Knightmare Griffin isn't that impressive since he clearly made some serious misplays, but I wanted to show why giving up is bad. The same ...

A situation that should come up decently often. A bit different from the usual videos I upload, I hope this is okay. Note: This isn't really new and does work with cards like Impermanence, Veiler, and so on, but Engage Zero being an extra deck card means this will come up way more often.

would u rather run 2 raye or 2 linkage?
Either is fine, I'm just trying 2 Raye because I saw it in other lists
Trying to decide which pot to use, avarice seems to be dead in my hand more often than it actually adds back monsters in a meaningful way - way fewer games go long and grindy than games that I need a guaranteed draw 2. Do you prefer one over the other between avarice and desires?
I prefer Avarice, but if you want to be realistic, Desires will probably be useful more often. I just don't like the randomness that Desires introduces in a toolbox deck that relies heavily on a lot of one ofs.
Awesome gameplay !
6:35 No Rulkalos float? Excelent videos as always, have a great day
@@Jyxero I imagine he's playing around Thrust there since that's the one card he auto loses to
For draw I get it, but wouldn't Snow cover CoH scenario? Regardless, is not like we can go and interview your opponent...
@@Jyxero If Rulkallos comes back and I have Thrust I can search Engage and he's in an awful situation
what do you think about Soul Release in this meta?
The card is fine, but I don't really think it has much purpose outside of Fire King. You can already beat Fire King normally, so I personally wouldn't run it, but if you like the card you should try it
do you think typhon is a good option for the extra deck ?
It's fine to run. I personally don't really like it in Striker, but other people have success with it.
With this deck list do you have any tips against voiceless voice. I have a hard time against them and tear too(when they have mudora and keldo in grave)
Change Change of Heart and other cards you don't feel are impactful to Droplet or Raigeki/more copies of Lightning Storm/Heavy Storm. Tear is usually decided by how many shufflers they mill and it isn't really a skillful matchup.
Glad you now add the final deck list! Nice video
Sorry if you already answered this one somewhere else: Why did you drop maxx c? Btw, really like your sks gameplay, you are an eminence with the deck.
I'm going second and my goal is to break the opponent's board and cut off further plays, which leads to a few problems: -If they stop playing because of Maxx "C", the interruptions that Striker puts up are not enough to deal with a strong deck on the next turn and Striker is unlikely to kill an opponent that passed on minimal interruptions. If they committed all their resources and I got rid of them, there's a lot less to worry about going into their turn and the game is often won at that point. It's better to let them play because of this in my opinion. -Maxx "C" is statistically unlikely to resolve and I need all the cards in my hand to be live to beat any meta relevant deck. -In the case of something like Ash, I can save it for Maxx "C" on my turn. If someone takes the Maxx "C" challenge there is nothing I can draw into that will save me because I don't want to run other hand traps. The card is broken, but it does not contribute to my gameplan at all. I would always rather have it be a board breaker or some other consistency card.
Amazing performance as always
Great replays as always, but wow I did not expect to see you cut the third Raye. Could you explain a bit why?
The worst hands in Striker are the ones with multiple starters and I feel I lose most of the games where I draw multiple Raye. When I am able to play and need to draw good cards off Engage, Raye is the worst card to get off the bonus Engage draw. I saw lists running 1-2 Raye so I decided to try it. The difference isn't really noticeable and it feels like the bricking issue comes up much less.
@@auctaway I see, I guess with Engage at 3 plus Thrust the consistency issue of not opening a starter isn’t that much of an issue anymore. Thanks 🙏
Seems like the "rule of two" (Aside of Starwars), where you want to see as many options as possible...
Long time no see. wow! Trab hole. You're still good. It`s Great Duel!
Thank you, and I hope you are doing well! I tried the Trap Hole because of your videos and it was very strong!
Nice replays. Can you please add some deck list, i’d like to try it.
i.imgur.com/4JzSgEu.png I mostly used these, but I changed my deck between almost every duel to try other cards. Other stuff I used were Raigeki, Lightning Storm, Bystials, Duster, Treacherous Trap Hole, Imperm, more copies of Tactics/Thrust, Change of Heart, Forbidden Droplet, and probably other stuff I'm forgetting. Anything should be fine really
My dream is to play for Sky like you.
Do you purposefully choose to go second with sky strikers?
Yes, always. You can choose to go first with floodgates and things like Cosmic instead of LS/Duster, but I prefer it this way
How do you like to use Eagle Booster? Is it mostly to prevent your cards from being negated?
That's one reason, but using it to survive the turn against decks like Branded that would otherwise have no issue killing you is another. Also, there are times when you can end on Multirole, but have Shark Cannon and Widow Anchor in grave and you'd otherwise have nothing to search to reset one of them.
Lets go
Dude, those are some insane play
damn. u made that tearlaments player scoop!
good video
Important not to give up indeed, but MD has this effect on me where I sit through the same combo 20 games in a row that I just don’t want to see my opponent play solitaire at some point 😂
Thanks for the video.
Awesome commentary man. Crazy you played through these boards.
This really helps! Before your first video, I was hardstuck plat 4 and always had a losing record. Yesterday, I went do Dia 5 and has been winning 65-70% of my matches daily. I have a winning record vs Yubel now. My biggest hurdle is centurion. It is beatable but not having the right cards when primera is on the spell/trap zone and auxila on the field is hard.
one thing that helped me with boardbreaking is by cutting off maxx c. whenever i use it, my opponent has ash or called by 90% of the time. lol
@@fierypops6508 I wish I had better Centurion games saved, but it is very important to start with searching Widow Anchor to make sure that Crimson Dragon is never really able to resolve. Maxx "C" is a great card, but it is honestly fine to abandon it in a deck like Striker. Similar to Branded (which also often cuts Maxx "C" in MD), you need all your cards in hand to be live, especially if you're going second. Using a card that will draw around 30% of the time and not resolve the majority of time you draw it can often lead to disaster. While the payoff is game-winning if it resolves, I personally don't feel the risk is worth it, even if other people find success with it. This is just a preference thing and there is no such thing as a correct way to build a deck, but it works for me.
Thank you so much, please make more 😄
These videos are so helpful. Always really interesting to ge tto know the thought process of other players. The thing you said at the start about thinking you're an Anime character is so true. Full boards look really scary but that's basically what I've signed up when I play Striker. Today I managed to take down a Yubel board and it felt really good. That said, nothing makes me want to scoop more than seeing Poplar summoned. I try my best but its still incredible hard against Snake Eyes or Tear.
Can you help me with Camellia's effect? My plan was to link summon using it as a material so I can send it to the GY so I can activate its effect of special summoning it on the opponent's field to get rid of a boss monster, but it didn't work. I went second turn: Summoned Raye and Roze, link to Camelia, then link Camellia to Kagari. Camellia was sent to the GY but its effect didn't activate so I wasn't able to remove opponent's boss monster. Do I need at least 3 spells in GY for this to work? From my understanding, the 3 or less spells effect only applies for sending a spell card in GY.
Camellia says you can only summon her once per turn in the first part with her summoning conditions. That unfortunately includes summoning her to the opponent's field by her own effect, so the only real way you get her removal effect is if you choose to end on her over Shizuku or whoever then she is removed on the opponent's turn (usually by their attacks, effects, or Linkage).
@@auctaway Thank you as always!
I think it's funny that something like this can sort of work, and had a mind to try it after I got bored with the loaner decks.
I was surprised I was even able to finish the rewards super quickly with it. I wouldn't recommend it to someone that doesn't already have 2 Change of Heart and 3 Snatch Steal, though.
Great Vid
That's an interesting approach to play the Deck. I play Rikka in rhe event.
Most original take I've seen of this event; I'm still tempted to try trap monsters (Not Paleo, but Tiki elder & similar), but the ceiling isn't that high unfortunately Have a great day
I did something similar to this in the earth/water/fire/wind event and saw some OCG players do it for the Xyz event, so it's one of the sillier things you could sneak into events like these. Also played against a few trap monster decks in this event, so it's probably fine honestly
I came here expecting to learn the loaner deck combo because SS is not allowed, but somehow it can still be played 😂😂. Nice made in abyss music btw, still waiting for season 3
You said you're not a good player but I think you are. I'm aware you only show the cool duels but the way you analyze or do decisions to take down the opponents board are really good. I actually learned quite a bit on how to flexible use the cards thanks to you.
Greetings from Brazil! And thank for the English video! I’ll learn ur tips and reproduce them on my playstyle. What do u think about Cyanos?
I think Cyanos enables a lot of board clearing capability/extension, especially when you send her with Hayate or Camellia. Normally you can't access Azalea, Zeke, or S:P as easily so having more options when you're low on spells is helpful. However, the card is really mediocre to draw and you don't really ever want to start with her as your lead play, so that can be a huge downside. I would say only use her if you find her fun or are willing to deal with worse hands to get more use out of your Link-2s.
Thanks for the video. Would like to see more of commentary.
It was a very interesting video, thank you! Recently a lot of Tenpai at OCG locals, and not uncommon for it to be best of 1. To not be immediately dead if I’m made to go first I’ve had to adapt the list to have more quick plays and less board breakers but going second does feel a lot less secure.
I know you said you wouldn't do more vids like these but it was cool to watch so thanks.
I can try doing a few more like this, but I really avoid playing outside of just doing dailies after getting M1
You deserve a thousand of subscribers! Really thankful for this. I guess my main reason of not piloting Sky Striker properly is I don't know a lot of deck to assume what they'll do.
Thank you, but I prefer not having many viewers. I don't like attention too much and this channel is mostly just for me to look over the history of MD and try to fix my misplays. You will eventually get used to what decks do just by playing a lot. I often look up lists for MD from OCG players on Twitter, so there isn't really that much surprises me with how people play or how I have to adapt. You could also watch the streams of competitive players to learn what people are trying to do without actually having to play the decks. Good luck in learning the matchups
Thanks for a great video, explaining your thinking mode of to play Sky Striker.
I love Sky Striker, O my god i love Raye. A hug from Brazil
14:33 You made this look so easy!
Your videos helped me improve, however I still feel like sometimes I lack the thought process to choose the best way to crack the opponents field. I think that's something you're really good at.
That mathmach comeback was amazing. Also I really like your deck list. Most Striker players don't use Hamp or Eagly Booster. Some people made fun of me for using Avarice in the deck so I'm happy a skilled player like you also uses it. I definitely prefer it over desires.
You'd be fine without Desires, but it's just preference honestly. There are times the card doesn't do anything and Desires would be better, but I don't like what that card does in a deck that runs so many single copies of cards. I like to try cards on ladder regardless of what people think about them since there isn't really anything to lose
@@auctaway I think avarice is only really bad when you open with it but even then you can easily use it as a discard to have a spell in the GY. And Striker is not a deck that usually win on first turn (aside from the otk combo) so avarice will come in handy on turn 2 most of the time. Desires is just too risky for me. Like you said it's preference but personaly I don't like it.
@@makenaiyomi1083 Something really important to remember about Desires, and choosing cards for Striker in general, is that while you are looking to play beyond your first turn, other decks simply are not. Having a card that does nothing is almost the same as drawing multiple copies of Raye. While I do like Avarice, it's very important to know this is the fatal flaw with it. Against the actual meta decks like Yubel and Fire King, you want all of your cards to be useable or you're never actually breaking their board without multiple things going your way. This is the main criticism for Avarice, and I completely agree with it. It is fine to run if you like the card, though. Against slower decks, it becomes very useful at the cost of hurting you when you draw it against the more common good decks.
@@auctaway I agree. I didn't really think thhat far but you're right with it. Currently I'm experiencing with cards a lot. I pulled a royal Heavy Storm so I had to put it in the deck.
Would you be able to make a guide on how you play sky strikers? Like how your thought process works when opting for combo lines.
I'm not very good at video editing beyond just adding music or talking over a game. I could try to add commentary on some games. A big problem with guides for Striker, at least for me, is that I generally don't have a gameplan and do stuff according to what my opponent does, so it would be very different for every deck and opponent, but I'll try in the future.
@@auctaway Thank you so much :)
@@fierypops6508 Uploaded a video like the type you requested, I hope it helps
How did you find the deck after trying it for a bit? I started learning the game a few months ago on strikers which is how I found you but I really like this deck too. Maybe a stupid question but is it viable to learn the game on Vaal/try to climb or should I just try something else? Context I'm just a pleb failing to get into diamond. Apologies if you don't really cater to newer player questions and thanks for all the videos.
@@AsphodeliaAlter It's probably my second favorite deck ever now. I think it is possible to climb with the deck to M1, but it's not really an amazing deck. Some of the current meta matchups can be rough, but it is like that for rogue decks in general. The later support it gets is nice and Fiendsmith cards really help the deck's consistency and ability to go second whenever they get added. I see people try things like Exosister or Mathmech in MD, but I prefer the pure version. Compared to Striker, I find Vaalmonica very simple, but still good enough to do fine. It could take a while to get used to since the deck doesn't have loads of plays, so knowing matchups and making the best of your limited tools is very important.
@@auctaway Thanks for replying! I've mostly been playing Centur-ion and though people seem to think it's a lot better I find it pretty boring, at least how it is in MD currently... Only real goal I have in MD is trying to improve and get diamond and hopefully in a long time master, so if it's viable for that then I'll probably try it especially since it's light on URs in main deck aside from staples. Will probably take a long time to learn it but if I have fun it's probably for the best, right?
@@AsphodeliaAlter Centurion is very strong, at least in my opinion. I see it a lot in Master and people do have/had high ELO with it in the rated mode. The deck is very linear, but it's extremely effective at what it does, as well as playing through Maxx "C", while also being able to play a lot of hand traps. Improving is all that really matter, so don't take whatever rank you are too seriously. Enjoying games is really all that matters, so if Vaalmonica looks fun to you, go for it.
How come you have whale instead of accesscode?
Whenever I have too many monsters on the field, it is usually because of Cyanos, which applies the Machine lock after the effect successfully resolves. Amblowhale is the best card to Link them all into and can float into a Striker Link or be replaced on board with Linkage and have the graveyard pop effect still be useful. I rarely ever summon Accesscode anymore, but this is just a playstyle/preference thing.
The runick clapped 😂
i made a funny striker list recently, with change of heart to 2, snatch steal to 3, you can make and activate camelia by stealing
Camellia makes monster theft cards so good for the deck now
@@auctaway i used to run a small variety of charmers for the selene line (dark, light, earth) but i agree completely, camelia shennanigans blow that out of the water
idk how you win these fight man, you really make the deck tier 1
I haven't crafted Camelia or my 3rd engage yet. 3rd Engage seems pretty essential but what do you think about Camelia? I like the Pot of Avarice I think it comes in really clutch especially because a lot of games turn into grinds these days. Last card in your list is the Whale to revive Kagari instead of Accesscode?
I think one Camellia is absolutely necessary. I normally don't like thinking that there should be definitive ways to build decks, but being able to turn any two monsters into a way to play is extremely important. The same goes for the third Engage in that there is no reason to not be running three. Amblowhale is just preference and it could be Accesscode or a different link. Neither of those cards come up often for me, so just play what you want in that slot.
