Budgetguard 41: Brutal Seekers

Hey Cardfighters,

This week is a lighting fast deck seeker deck focused on power plays and field building.

    Brutus is the ideal grade 3 for the deck sporting an on-ride call to keep up aggression as well as a Legion skill which powers up the front row makes him perfect for the deck. Unfortunately his skill won't help you hit numbers unless it is the same turn you legioned and you have Locrinus out. (atleast in this deck).

     Light Saver Dragon is able to power up your field with its legion skill and the +5k makes it perfect for not relying on other units to hit the right numbers. Unfortunately it doesn't quite have the field building potential as Brutus so we leave it as a secondary boss.

Deck Comments:
     The primary focus of this deck is aggression which you can see in the grade 1s having lots of high powered attacking types and Isbuzzard to provide power pushes during legion plays. The grade 2s further support this by providing more power skills while gildas helps set up the field. The grade 3s both provide offensive power boosts to strike down your opponent. The strides are nice albeit a little unnecessary in my opinion. You'll mainly want to focus on legion in this deck.


Match ups:

Overall Performance:
     This deck did very well in the games I played with it. the early rush left the opponent with little defense for the power columns that came after. I think with a little tweaking and finishing up the stride zone it could be a power house that may not be on par with the top decks but definitely could give them a run for their money.

Tips for Mastering:

• Be aggressive, but don't over commit so that even if your opponent tries to control your field you won't have to let up in your assault.
• Brutus and Light saver dragons provide the same function but Brutus is better for quick games and Light Saver is better for longer ones. Choose well.

Tips for adding money:
     This will mainly be focused on the stride zone and depending on what you think the deck is lacking. Push the opponent to higher damage so that the power columns are effective? Samuel. Crit your opponent to death if your advantage has run out? Saint Blow. Need to keep building field? Altmile. The stride zone can provide a lot of versatility that the deck currently doesn't have. For the main deck I would suggest to switching to Counter Charging PGs as they will help you use Light Saver Dragon's skill over the course of the game, which sets you up better for the late game.
