I'm sure you all know about Tsukuyomi's deck stacking power, which lets the fighter know exactly what is coming next, but what you probably didn't know is that Kagero can do it too! Let's see how it works.

Preta is the bread and butter of this deck. Preta lets you create a "stack" of 4-5 cards (depending on whether or not you hit the skill) every time you retire something in the same column. This will let you quickly build up a well-ordered stack to let you double trigger every turn. At least, that is the plan.

Preta needs a Perdition vanguard, so what is the best budget boss for them? Its probably this guy, Pain Laser Dragon. He lets you retire 2 units in one column for 1 counter blast when you legion. This will trigger Preta twice. CAUTION: Legioning will indeed mess up your stack, so try to legion before you go about stacking. Pain Laser's second skill (soul blasting for power) is useful for building the drop zone if you go first.

Deck Comments:
I'll admit up front that I messed up the deck a little. A deck focused on building a stack like this should be focused on striding every turn to get through the non-stacked part ASAP. That being said, the Aermos should have been Lava Flow Dragon. Anyway, the rest of the deck is pretty straightforward: the grade 1s are focused on unflipping to keep the retiring going, and the grade 2s are mainly just to fulfill mate requirements for our grade 3s.

Overall Performance:
The deck is pretty fun. Making a stack in a clan not usually known for it can throw people for a loop, and the controlling aspect of kagero can definitely make the game last until you get there. That being said, I'm not sure it has much competitive viability. It takes a much longer time to reach your stack than it would in OTT, and if your opponent doesn't call into Preta's column, you lose your ability to stack.
Tips for Mastering:
- Be conservative with Preta. It's the only way to build a stack, so you'll want to get the most use out of it before your opponent can get rid of it.
- The deck can run out of steam pretty easily due to the lack of draws. To counteract this don't be overly aggressive.
Tips for adding money:
The first change I would suggest would be to add in Root Flare Dragons. They let you retire a full column for free and that will give you 2 activations of Preta in one go, making an instant stack of 8-10 cards. The second change that comes to mind is Dragonewt and his mate. Preta works well in combination with Dragonewt, searching up more copies for his persona blast and will help round out the deck with a solid grade 3 line-up. Other than that, you might consider Dragon Knight, Mahmit to soul charge and speed through your deck a bit faster.
