First time having a clean run through Master Rank

It was very enjoyable playing sky striker and randomly climbing Master V to Master I without losing. Luck is involved ofc, however this deck just wins games that it shouldn't win. I think I won minimum 5 games that I should've lost but my opponent played badly, 2 game where time limit is called, and some games where I sack with engage draw talents/engage to win a hardly winnable game.

Never give up, seriously. I get this is mid-season Master so my opponents are not above average players, but so many players misplay or ran out of time thinking about their plays (or misplay due to low time). You can probably win some games that you thought you 100% lost and scooped.

Lastly, hot take: Droll being good in the format helps current Sky Striker wayyyy more than it hinders them. So many games where I start ROTA/engage/upstart hoping to get drolled so I can look at their hand with talents. Or games where I start vision and droll didn't matter. Compared to going 2nd where striker has bad matchups against VSK9 and KT (if the player is good), where droll is necessary to even have a chance to win against VSK9 (unless they bricked).

Can you figure out the Lethal line?

Important Gamestate Information :

  • Already summoned and used Zero's effect
  • Already used the Tag-out effect of "Sky Striker Ace - Raye" (the first effect)
  • Already normal summoned
  • Already activated a copy of "Forbidden Droplet"
  • I play 2 copies of "Sky Striker Ace - Roze"
  • I do not have Temperance, Charmers, or Accesscode in my ED
  • Standard ED consisting of : Kagari, Shizuku, Hayate, Zeke, Azalea, Camelia, Amatsu, Zero, Ty-phon, S:P, and Clockwork Knight
  • "Keaf, Murk of the Ghoti" and "White Aura Whale" already used their effect (no disruption)
  • Last card in opponent's hands is "Psy-Frame Driver" (I checked with talents)

Yes you can play for value in this position and you would most likely win, but I think learning to find lethal in these types of positions are crucial against grindy decks that have too much follow-up or decks that can top deck broken (or both). Besides, finding lethals are fun :)
