[Shadowverse] Aggro Swordcraft

[Not-so-Radiant Arin]

 

I for one would like to welcome our Swordcraft Gods into the meta since the nerfs to Roach and Piercing Rune and whatnot.

 

Changes I plan to do in the future:

 

-2 Fencer, +2 Tsubaki

 

Fencer is absolutely trash in this Deck and dead draws 99% of the time when Pompous is clearly the better choice for setting up board presence. Tsubaki can easily counter threats like Bahamut, Olivia, Satan, Lucifer (so basically the entire funking majority of Dragoncraft because they need overpowered cards to win).

 

-2 Kunoichi Trainee, +2 Princess Vanguard

 

Since there's a lot of 1-cost Followers that come out from Pompous, Princess Vanguard would suit the Deck's needs of dishing out damage a lot more than waiting for the proper time to get an Ambush off only for it to be killed by Angelic Barrage.

 

Disc. and whatnot.

[Trebuchet MS]

Personally won't run more than 1 Tsubaki. She's a great tech against big things but ultimately is too slow for aggro. You'd want to kill them dead before it happens.

 

Oh, and that one instance of T4 Saha-Luci? That was the opponent's best case aggro-crushing scenario. Nothing you can do about it. You however stand a better chance during times where they don't have 3 Oracles in a row and can face them quite effectively.

 

1-drop plays for aggro are quite important - I'd actually run 2-3 Goblins for that. They don't synergize with the Officer theme but give you a better chance of a good T1 play.

 

Would also recommend Demonic Strike as game-closing burn.
