Thrust Targets
I'm currently testing some Triple Tactics Thrust Targets in the new format and would like to hear some opinions :)
Currently I've considered the following ones:
- Simul Archfiends: I think this is the most obvious one. Basically stops Decks from having more then 1 of the same extra Deck types. Pretty good against our hardest matchups (Branded & DoomZ) but also against Kewl Tune. Does not affect us at all, since we basically never have more then one Link Monster out anyway.
- Mischief of the Gnomes: Pretty good against DoomZ and also fine against monst synchro decks. Sadly does not stop any deck completly, since DoomZ can do pretty good half-boards and Synchro decks can probably play around. But still a good card to consider.
- Magic Deflector: A classic, sadly I think it does not stop enought Decks and also kinda kills our whole backrow...
- D.D Ground: I mean, its the most sided card for Thrust for a reason... I'm not familiar enough with the format yet to know, if it stops DoomZ, KT and branded enought tho. Also kinda hurts us, since we don't want to get the roze banned that comes from tagging out Zero, but probably worth if it hits the right decks good enough.
- Black Goat Laughs: Still a very good card in Striker but also I don't know if it can stop the line of the 3 most dangerous decks enough or if they can pivot. Branded has like a billion targets for every situation they can fuse, KT also can just go for another synchro and do the one we named a turn later and DoomZ I'm not familiar enough yet.
- SWA Aoi: Stil a very fun one but has 2 Problems:
- ending on Shizuku is kinda awkward, especially if we could end on Zero instead.
- Most of the time, we get stopped before we can play a body, so the card can be giga dead...
Would like to hear your experience. I currently have slots for 2 cards but am not sure which 2 I would like to run.
*Note: I just run Thrust in the Side Deck, because I think they are not good enough in Game 1, since the only target for going first that someone would consider would be Black Goat and that card is not very good, at least in game 1.
