This Kaveh Bloom deck is BROKEN (and hilarious) | + Furina Narwhal deck guide | Genshin Impact TCG

- Welcome to the Invokation Akademy Duelist Theater, where I'll showcase a Genius Invokation deck gameplay, along with a quick guide on how to effectively play it!
We have one of the craziest decks ever constructed featured today. This deck uses all new characters, but is focused around Kaveh and his Burst Scan mechanic. Combined with Furina and a deck running all 3-cost weapons, his combo does exactly 10 damage guaranteed to finish off characters right away.
While we are discarding and tuning cards, whale is slowly gaining HP and can help finish the game if Kaveh isn't enough to single handedly destroy your opponents characters.
We'll go through some tips to play the deck, and watch a game that showcases the deck's full potential in a way that looks absolutely broken.

remember that Kaveh bug when he was able to delete in-game items like totems etc? he deletes your cards in TCG now:D
LOL yes that was really funny
Genshin trying to balance tcg (impossible)
Honestly there's a lot of problems I have the 4.7 balance for sure. At least Kaveh is fun and broken lol. Yunjin is just broken.
Incredible, a deck with the 3 characters I was the most interested in but couldn't figure out how to build around. It's like this video was made for me
Also the ending being "oops I won" was very amusing
LOL YES I had no idea that interaction worked like that!! Normally if you get a bloom core off a bloom when it's your turn, you don't get the second one right away.
I guess since whale "interrupted" your action, it checked again and fired off a second shot. Honestly felt broken
Tuning counts an action so if you tune, the core is discarded lol
Since the wording is "Before either side chooses an action" or something
its kind of crazy how kaveh is able to make all the "bad" cards really good, i hope they try to make more cards that utilize underperforming cards in the future!
I do wonder if theyll nerf kaveh though, hes really strong
I like that you can build a crazy deck like this haha. I think most of the strength is in the fact the deck is easy to play, but it is also easy to counter if you know how
this kaveh character seems really cool honestly, i hope hoyoverse adds him as a playable character in the main game as well, not just the tcg
LMAO - I started replying to this seriously and then I re-read the end omg
Ooh, I'm definitely gonna try out this deck! Been playing your Hu Tao treasure deck for a while and it's been really fun. The new discard meta is super interesting.
Yeah! I'm excited to showcase some of the other decks later in the reviews, but this one is by far the best haha
The hu tao deck was my favourite even though I bottom decked (literally last 2 cards) the weapon 5 times in a row
@@blepthecat ok so I tried it, I had no idea where half of the damage was coming from, but I finally beat apep after trying 5+ times with Hu Tao and failing. Really liking it so far! (This shall henceforth be called the "kyaveh" deck)
Update: just won 5/5 matches with 3 forfeits in arena of champions with this deck. I almost feel bad...
I'm SO EXCITED about Kaveh's card ♥️🌟 I'm absolutely over the moon to try this deck!! Subscribed!
Enjoy!! It's a real fun one
Thank you for the deck recommendation!
Hope it goes well!
Blepthecat just dropped a new v4.7's TCG guide. Nice!!! 👍
Hehe enjoy!
Thanks for sharing this deck.
This is just my opinion but I’d prefer if you showed more unlucky games rather than high-rolls. I've noticed most of your deck showcases are where everything goes well. It’s only during streams where I can actually learn what to do if I get bad dice, or don’t get the correct card.
For example, I’d assume in this match the opponent started with only 1-2 cryo dice and basically no other usable dice. Which is why they swapped then went with liben.
It’s very satisfying to see everything go perfectly but it’s hard to see if a deck is strong, or if you’re just lucky. Most players can figure out what to do when things go well and you can follow the plan, but what separates a good player from a bad one is whether they can adjust and recover when things don’t exactly match the plan. Only watching the high-rolls makes it hard to improve as a player.
Anyways, this is just my two cents.
I think that's a fair point! The games I tend to showcase are more about showing off the potential for the deck - which usually ends up being a winning game but if there is a good loss I will show that instead, it's just harder to come by.
I will say this is one of the more highrolled games, but honestly that's how games with this deck feel. I'll keep this in mind!
I do think this series is fine for this, definitely streams and tournament coverage is better for learning.
i think we know the next deck is going to be the 0 energy 1 dice 8 damage "burst" deck
Haha I probably won't do a video on that one, but yes the yunjin deck is crazy as well. Not as fun though
Soy muy simple. Leo “kaveh” y tengo que poner like ❤
Oh I’ve been using the 2 cost location-heavy variant of this deck! Definitely a lot of fun to play, though I do unfortunately see Kaveh most likely getting a nerf. Still, I’ll be sure to start giving Marechausse to Narwhal now that I know the interaction :]
I hope they can nerf this version without nerfing the location version. If they cap the damage at 3 it would be great - keeps the location version intact while not letting you do this stuff
I like location based Kaveh, it really fits his lore lmao
They just need to nerf his bloom so that it can't chain trigger and wipe you out with 3+ hits a round. Like Nilou's bloom with a limit of 2 hits per round, something like that would be fine
this deck was the only deck that i won against yunjin sauce with (iykyk), so yeah its really good!
Haha the good Yunjin decks can play around you well, but yeah if they don't you will chunk Yunjin down so fast
by far i find that any yunjin deck against this deck is usually hit or miss
it either dies from bad card draws, slow wind-up and switching to dodge the oneshot combo, or gets everything right after round 1 and obliterate kaveh way before the narwhal is well fed
amazing 👍
Thank you!!
I personally prefer running all two cost cards and running a location deck instead. It's kind of boring that you can't ever really play any of the three cost cards. It's nice to have the option of more dice and certain food cards.
Yeah you trade those options for raw power here so that makes sense. I think it's a fun deck to try but isn't very interesting after a while for sure
I would love to see your deckbuilding process 😮😊
This one was somewhat copied off an existing idea so it wasn't exciting. Deckbuilding might be a good stream idea where I can do it live and field questions
Ohh yes pls that would be awesome for the channel's anniversary. Btw congrats for the 5k! 🎉❤
I have playing this deck and it's super fun most player don't know what to do against it
Yeah!!! I don't think I've laughed so hard at a deck ever
Wow that was the easiest, fastest 5 straight wins I've had in a while... even if my opponent survives the Furina/Kaveh combo, the Narwhal just smashes them and finishes them off 😅 Very nice!
Glad it worked!
The new character cards are terrifyingly self-sufficient
Kaveh and Xinyan definitely require some outside synergy, but the others are just efficient standalone for sure
Played against this and got traumatized lmao.
HAHAHA the first time you get hit by it, there's definitely a WTF moment
It probably wasn't me, but since I was traumatizing other players with this deck around the same time you commented, I'd like to apologize anyways 😂😂
this deck has a weakness , if oppo has a fast swap in opening hand they
can deny bloom until R3 or R2 end phase
Can u explain?
So I believe what you can do is after Kaveh hits you with skill, quickswap off onto another character and end first. This lets you tank both Hydro applications on another character, then you swap back on to the character with Dendro and your opponent has no blooms and is on Kaveh
Yun jin deck next? Also is new character cards review still coming or will you just post gameplays with new cards?
Hehe I think some other CC's featured Yunjin already so I don't have to. Check out stuff from Ark (zolark) or Xeiyruu, both are pro players with channels!
Woah, this will definitely get nerfed in the future. There’s no way they’ll let it stay that way xD
Haha yeah I hope so
Idk, it’s really fun the first few times, but it feels pretty mindless after that, and a little like cheating if your opponent can’t counter it, and it’s even less fun to play against. I’ll be in the camp of hoping for a Kaveh nerf then I guess. Heck, _maybe_ Narwhal too while they are at it.
Edit: Geez, just played against Yun Jin, def nerf her too, what the heck. These new characters all OP.
It does feel a little mindless after a while. There can be some challenge to playing it if your opponent knows what to do, but most of the time your lines are too straightforward
If opponent has burst scan and dendro core because of previous burst scan triggered bloom, you must not use any action cards. Here's when new discount card comes into play
Unfortunately tuning counts as an action, pal
The Kaveh no one asked for that we actually needed.
He's been away collecting all these weapons no wonder
My main deck is a Xiao hypercarry from aaaages ago, and rn im just trying to figure out how I would try to take out Kaveh with it. Id have to make so many adjustments but thats part of the game!
Hope you figure it out! A character with 11 effective hp against kaveh like mona or seahorse work really well if you can fit those into your deck
@@blepthecat i hadn't thought about those two! I'll shuffle some cards around and see what comes out. Thank you!!!!
thanks, I'll swap kokomi for narwhal in my bloom deck
Feel free! Narwhal is less important but just funny with the other 3 costs hehe
found the counter already
its the otk Diluc deck
and yeah i love beatings Kaveh in these version with Diluc and streak that 15 winstreak at a time 😂👌👌👌
Yeah the deck has a lot of weaknesses but it's still funny hahaha. Glad you are beating it!! I guess I'll be sending more fodder your way LOL
@@blepthecat Have Fun Bleb 🤣👌👌👌
Hirhurhurhur kaveh hellbloom deck hurhurhur
Click funny Kaveh button allll day hurhur
I wanted to see some intereting Furina deck and this combo seems funny😂
It's fun for sure, give it a try. The review session has some better Furina decks that actually make more use of Furina haha
Bleb, do you know this already?
so i match up against old magic deck with Lyney, Kuki and Nahihi
and when my horse is low they use the fresh wind then triggered Kuki skill with a fast action Katheryn, then they immediately get to play 2 turns in a row with Nahida skill follow up by burst
such a minor detail but very lethal for that match and i discovered it the hard way 😅
Yeah I've heard this interaction with Kaveh bloom too just today where if you trigger Fresh Wind when you still have your action available it can get you two in a row. In the end it's kind of the same as if you just acted twice, but it definitely feels weird to see
@@blepthecat i guess that'll make Kaveh even more popular after this 😂
@@blepthecat and i hope they updated the description to like
"in this round, when you kill a character after using this card without doing an action, your turn won't end"
My enemies always rage quit whenever I kill their DPS 😅
But sometimes I lose against Team Freeze Layla and Neuvillette, they always freeze my kaveh 😅
Shielder also troubled me
Yunjin + Neuvillette too 😔
@@azriel3287 yeah the deck is powerful but has very real counterplay to it so you will struggle against experienced opponents, and people familiar with it. Still it's a fun deck to play!
I'm trying my luck with a similar approach. KAVEH FURINA LYNETTE.
Haha if only a swirled double bloom could work
@@blepthecat Yes, I'm considering it a bug for now. Having Lynette as an anchor is being a nice comfort playing the deck so far.
I created a new deck called Liyue Discard with Xinyan, Yun Jin and Whale. You are going to get as many talents in the deck as possible, burst with Yun Jin, then deal up to 7 damage per normal attack with dice reduction on Xinyan. In case Xinyan dies, you have tuned so many cards that Whale can finish the game.
Deck Code: F5LSh28ZGGEC2ncOGJFx348QCUHh9ZgQClJyizYZFKJSDIYRGbJREMMRDfIhEcoSDQEB
How does this deck sound to you?
Yunjin Xinyan definitely is a neat concept. I think there are better Yunjin decks right now, but this is pretty solid!
Do you have suggestions for better Yun Jin decks?
@@arielgauss9105 So the one that seems the most consistent has been Yunjin Venti Zhongli or Xiao from what I can tell. Basically it goes all in on Yunjin Round 2 and usually can just OTK pretty consistently unless your opponent tries to disrupt you.
It's a bit of a different gameplay style than you'd expect though, but quite strong.
I see. But for the kaveh deck in this video, is it worth it to replace some 3 cost fodder with 2 cost locations, which can be discounted with kaveh's talent?
@@arielgauss9105 Probably not, you really want the consistency of the 3 costs
Kaveh is so op 🧐
Very strong for sure! I think people have suggested capping his blooms at 3 DMG which I honestly think is very fair
okay I'm gonna be honest,I have absolutely no idea how the tune/discard mechanic works.. I've been trying to figure it out but there's no source really explaining what it does and how it works, I'm fairly new to GITCG and only recently got into it so a lot of stuff is still so confusing for me
@@woofiepoofie that's OK they are complicated mechanics! Take your time. Luckily the Kaveh deck is kind of automatic since you just let him discard for you and you don't have to worry about it much.
Otherwise if it's whale specifically, check out the Review video going over whale mechanics that might help
So far I found that Yunjin deck is pretty busted,
This deck i find very fun, though instead of Furina, I used Mona instead for the quick swap.
Maybe I’ll try with Furina.
So Far kaveh is my favourite card this season.
So I far the discard meta very fun but the new cards are powercreeping the old cards unfortunately.
Mona is good too since she has a Hydro normal which is really nice with plunging stroke
lol. Kavehs Revenge!!!
This is why he's been missing - just been training this whole time
can you make a 4.7 version latest meta deck that wipe out latest npc many cards and bosses challenges. thanks
@@omiikhromi8964 this deck will do well against most npcs that are character and not monster battles. Some challenges you will also need to adapt the deck for the buff.
I was just defeated by this deck ;-;
I'm sorry for spreading it LOL
I can't be the only one feeling a bit demotivated by how strong most of the new cards are right ? They really feel too overtuned compared to previous ones, especially with how much direct dmg their talent cards gives.
Hm I think Yunjin is the only one that is overtuned by a lot. Kaveh is definitely strong, but there's a pretty big cost to filling your deck with blanks if your opponent plays around your blooms.
The issue is though Kaveh is REALLY good into most casual decks because they either don't expect it or don't know how to play around it - and then you're just dead.
The card in the deck is more like the ammo for kaveh ,very interesting design.
Yeah he's packing all those weapons in that briefcase
When I see this and cannot really _see_ (not hear about) any counter to it, I am definitely losing any motivation to play. I'd like to find it again, but I am affraid I'd lose my sanity with it. As I just cannot think about fun decks anymore without having to counter this this deck. Because it is essentially over moment you start playing when you are not ready for it. People are gonna play this deck for sure because they do not need to even think or setup much. It is just so easy to play that everyone will play it. Yeah counters might emerge. But that is still bound to existence of one hugely overpowered deck with very little (now even fewer than before) space for decks which do not consider this deck at all. If you see how can this be helped, I am more than open to hear it. I just feel so lost and non-belonging in this.
EDIT: Yes I have changed this comment after my emotions calming down a little.
I think the frustration is valid - and being easy to play means a lot of people will be drawn to it so you will see it way more often than you should. It definitely sets the bar for what a new deck needs to be able to beat to succeed in 4.7
Tbh I run this deck until I was washed by a Mona Kaveh Whale, that I try out and imo it's better than this one. Mona fast swap is better than having Furina n she also does 2 hydro applications w 3 dice. Also no 4 cost dice to always give the whale +3 hp upon discarding
Keep in mind Furina has 4 hydro applications with 3 dice. I think for sure this into the Mona version can be a little weaker - they can actually sit on Mona Round 1 and then load all their damage onto Kaveh. You have to play a little bit different -
If you start first you can Furina swap Kaveh then swap back to Furina end phase. If you start second, start on Whale, then go Furina, then go Kaveh.
I've met this deck three times today, I'm still fairly new but how on earth are you supposed to counter it?
First, once you realize your opponent has no action cards like Quickswap to worry about, their moves can be come super predictable, provided you can read ahead a bit.
Next, don't try too hard to save characters. Instead, try to make sure that Dendro damage lands on one character, and if you can take Kaveh out and not leave any Dendro and waste burst scans, it should be an easy win from there.
Playing characters that survive the FTK like Mona, Seahorse, Herald, can be great too!
@@blepthecat thanks!
8:31 How did burst scan trigger???
So I had created another bloom core already from the first Burst Scan that turn (the icon is briefly visible earlier), but normally you can't trigger two Burst Scans in a row.
When I tuned cards for Narwhal, the passive took away my 'action' and then it became 'before I choose my action' again, which saw I had a burst scan + core available so it triggered.
Kind of a weird edge case
at 8:27 how did the bloom trigger? I've watched it many times and still don't get it?
He has the core before and i think it work kinda like crab shield or smt, u need to do some action before it actually trigger the core, which he already have one, to explode
Yeah this one was confusing. So if at the start of your action you trigger a Burst Scan, that then procs ANOTHER bloom core with a Burst Scan ready, normally you don't fire the next one right away since it already checked before you select an action.
However, I think because tuning for Narwhal triggered it's passive, that interrupted me "choosing my action" and it went back to "before I choose an action" which triggered the other bloom. It's super weird for sure, really edge case. I'm not sure if a character other than Narwhal or Apep could do it
@@blepthecat That is very interesting, this will come in handy using this deck. Thank you for clear explanation Prof. aCATdemy
Tip on how to deal with swirl decks ?
@@Norina0812 hmm you may have to more specific as swirl can come in lots of forms. Though because Kaveh decks have a very straightforward rotation, you don't have an option to play around reactions as much.
You can use Mona over furina if you want more flexibilty with quickswaps, the deck won't change too much!
@@blepthecat Let's say a Lyney Lynette + another anemo, or a Xiao Faruzan Raiden ?
Cuz holy are they a pain.
@@Norina0812 hm for Lyney you can try something like start on whale, then after the pyro hit,then go to Furina to skill then to kaveh - this dodges swirls pretty well and prevents too much dmg on Kaveh.
Raiden they can't swirl r1 and you threaten an FTK on her so you should have the advantage in that matchup
@blepthecat Also, sorry to bother. But. There's that Raiden Neuvi Bennett deck I fought against as well, and the overload is just fucked up atp. 😭 Narwhal didn't last that long before they were gone from the surface of earth, and same for the rest cuz of that stupid Raiden summon.
@@Norina0812 you should be able to threaten raiden before burst which makes the deck a lot weaker, but if you let them get going not much you can do
I just ran it. Wtfff is this???? Kaveh’s damage just feels so random
It's random until it isn't lol!! In a normal deck it would be but this one is always 4
this is fun to play but its so so annoying as an opposing deck. i have been playing so much tcg and everyobe and their mom is playing kaveh😭 it gets very annoying for me because of the nukes, i lose so often :< takes the fun out of it pwrsonally. really really praying for a nerf.
HAHA I'm so sorry to add to this - but I have a duty to the Akademy.
This deck has some pretty good hard counters though. Characters like Mona, Seahorse, or Herald that can survive the 10-damage combo are really annoying because once you tank the initial blooms, you just need to play around the dendro reactions.
Remember the deck has NO QUICKSWAP so it is super predictable. I'm sure you can do it!!
@@blepthecat hmm true, i think i just got real frustrated because of the otks xd
also in my experience i mostly see people use kaveh and mona together, so it def guarantees one bloom because of her quickswap!!
I’ve ran into this deck a few times and it can be rather annoying, although I don’t think my success rate is too bad against it
Yep it has it's weaknesses, but it really wins hard against unsuspecting opponents
Soooo wheres the deck sharing link?
You can find it in the description! Scroll down to the section where the decklist is listed
So far i have 100% win rate with this deck and only lost the mirror match. I think this is getting nerfed soon
Haha people will figure out how to beat it soon enough, it has a lot of glaring weaknesses - but easy to play and lots of fun. Glad you're having success!!
Still waiting for the in depth explanations of all the new character cards
It's out now!
@@blepthecat took you long enough lol
I feel like they gonna nerf kaveh 🥹
It could be worse if they try to do the hotfix like before
Can probably cap his damage at 3, but otherwise it's honestly not so bad once you figure out how to play around it
If im being so honest I lobby dodge this deck
Haha it does get old fast
@@blepthecat ya everyone is running it right now 😭
If I can ask an Unrelated TCG question…
Is there anyway Furina can work with Dehya?
@@VroomBee Hm I think you can make it work yeah. You'll just want to make sure your last character can solo pretty well since you have two characters that don't do too much
@@blepthecat I was kinda thinking in my head Furina using her burst and her and Dehya attempting to get as many stacks as possible (would probably need both talent cards) and then using Dehya burst as the main damage.
@@VroomBee Haha that's going to be a little too much setup. Anytime you think about combining bursts like that you have to ask if the setup is worth it.
Dehya burst in general is unfortunately not very good being a prepare skill and expensive.
Nah, that deck surely boring, u did't even playing card anymore, and tcg became boring
It's kind of one-note and not one I'd recommend playing repeatedly. Just something to try, have some fun, and then play something else
