This deck is my kryptonite for some reason, I wonder if I should just play it at 1 or 2 locals to figure out how it loses outside of cheese cards like anti-spell, erad, or drawing the bystials
Immediate counters off the top of my head: Rivalry or Gozen, Fire Prison (immediate loss for Strikers if you can make a link 2 or higher), Lightning Storm or Feather Duster (the deck doesn't really have in-archetype negates to stop them with, its all disruption and recovery given that its a control deck), and Ghost Belle to stop Kagari. Sky Strikers is tier 2 this format at best, which is still really good, but that just goes to show how busted decks like Kashtira and Branded are.
See, i would've ran Selene and Accesscode Talker, though I suppose ZEUS gets over monsters that can't be targeted. Granted, i'm of the belief that ZEUS should be banned so that we can eventually get Drident off the forbidden list, but that's just me. In terms of blind second builds though, I personally cut out the middle-man and run a copy of both Mind Control and Change of Heart instead of two copies of TTT. The deck draws and searches enough, having guaranteed confiscation is just really nice. I do the exact same thing in my PUNK Twins deck. Though i suppose your logic for running TTT is that you'd be searching it off of Thrust. In that case, i'd maybe just run one copy of TTT since you're not trying to open it to begin with. You could replace the second copy with Change of Heart or whatever card you're wanting to run to substitute either its Pot of Greed or Forceful Sentry effect. If you're looking for a card to substitute the Sentry Effect, i'd consider Exchange since your deck runs a lot of spells that you could set face down before activating it. Think of it like setting up Morphing Jar back in GOAT format, except you search it from the deck with Thrust and you don't refill your opponent's hand with 5 new cards after resolving Exchange. The cost though is that you have to decide what card you're giving to your opponent, so ideally, you'd just give them whatever is the least useful card in your opening hand (assuming you don't open Ash Blossom or something, but even then, you could just set Ash face down if you were really that worried about them getting a hold of it at the cost of you not being able to use it either).
Hey, i just won my first tournament with sky striker, but i play a 10 card spellbook engine and my whole side deck is for going second. I would love to hear your thoughts about it. So i play 2 blue boy of spellbook, 3 spellbook of secrets, 1 spellbook of judgement and 3 spellbook of knowledge +1 jowgen as target for judgement. its basically a draw engine with dumping a lot of spell into the grave.
Nice! Congratulations on the win!!! I think the spell books are really cool! I like the concept with Jowgen as well☕️ I think if you have the room, it’s definitely an option worth considering, especially to catch some people off guard
Will you be doing a Bystial Spright list once assault synchron comes out? Deck looks to be the best version of spright upon release, seeing as sprights weakness is the dlink match up but that version can beat it
Got the coffee 💪🔥 but hey I’m digging this deck list! I wouldn’t mind dueling against you with it if you want to test out your builds bro! Idk if you do remote duels but I’d be down if you ever want just a real life duel bro 💪 if not of course I understand lol
Thanks! I appreciate all the kind words! I do have a remote set up, and it would definitely be fun to run a game with you some day! Not sure when! But I do plan on starting back up live streams! Thanks again for the support!
Not a problem bro 💪🔥 but that would be awesome! I don’t have anyone to duel with beside my son so trying to get ready for locals is a little hard lol. I’ve never been and we want to go. But yeah if there is anyway to get in contact with you that would be awesome if we could set something up. I’d definitely want to do it off the live stream first but if everything goes good then heck yeah I wouldn’t mind being on your live stream one day in the future to help you test your decks no prob bro!
@@andrewpetterson5186 I really appreciate it! Just stay tuned and I’m sure something will come up! It’s awesome to here you play with your son! I do the same with mine☕️ thanks again for the support, I hope I can run some games with you in the future!
For sure bro me and my son love your channel 💪 and yeah I think it would be awesome! If you can find a way to get in contact with me we can set something up for sure bro 🤙 I just added your twitch so hopefully that’ll help as well!
@@garylloyd9949 the cheapest card I can think of would probably be forbidden chalice. It’s anothe quick play spell that helps you play into boards. Also if you don’t use it, you can always set it as an interruption for your opponents turn. BUT also simplify adding more kaijus can really help this deck out as well☕️
@@asterfeniox hmmmm I’d probably say for the 20 and under cards, maybe adding a 3rd talents, a change of heart, or some forbidden droplets. And I’d have to think for a while about the $34 range, because I don’t think there is anything around that price that I would think is better than what I’ve already mentioned ☕️ but I could be forgetting something
@@cardsandcoffeetcg i play 3 triple tactic talent to replace thrust, Thrust is too expensive right now. I can still win over kastira or another deck with that. Just some time they out gas me then i lose.
So technicacly .. i don't need accesscode talker to play sky striker ... i can just play ningirsu and go for game? Btw I don't understand why did u put zeus without any other xyz monster
I touched on it in the video briefly, but since your deck has multiple ways to steal your opponents monsters, you can take one of their XYZs, attack with it, and then throw zeus on top in MP2. It’s very powerful, and also makes it to where they won’t get their monster back at the end of the turn☕️
Definitely something you can include, but I find it’s a lot harder to make without halq. And even then it isn’t always game. But that’s just been my experience lately ☕️
I don’t really like coffee, but god that opening looked so clean. Not mention the thumbnail and presentation on this video look insanely good too!
Hahaha well I appreciate all the kind words! I’m glad you enjoyed ☕️
Love sky striker! Thanks for giving this strategy some love. ❤ ☕
Of course!

If you get the chance, one of the best ways to learn how to beat a deck, is to start playing it yourself! Trust me☕️

Anti spell is not a cheese it’s a really good and accessible card
New to this channel, love this style of content ☕️
Welcome! I’m so glad you joined! ☕️
2 thrust feels fine and less bricky
I only play 2 in all my decks. I would honestly even argue to play talents at 1. Other than that, deck profile is solid
@@mycahmilton I feel the same way about thrust but what are you adding to striker if you cut Thrust to 2 and TTT to one?
The production of your vids are the best. I get into the background music lol
Hahaha thanks! I do too when I’m editing 😂

Hahaha There will be Assault Sprights
Can HAMP tribute monsters unaffected like Dragoon or Full armor master in blackwings?
What if I don’t own a single copy of thrust,what’s a good option for replacement?
how to go first with Sky Striker?
I’d probably main deck There Can Be Only One. And you could even consider stuff like DPE or more Hand traps

What would you suggest for TTT (Thrust specifically) it is a $68 card and way out of budget
🤔I think it depends on your budget. Did you have an amount in mind?
What's your cheapest option?

@@cardsandcoffeetcg how about a mid range option (about half the price of thrust, roughly $34) and a budget option (ranging around $20 or less)?
@@asterfeniox hmmmm I’d probably say for the 20 and under cards, maybe adding a 3rd talents, a change of heart, or some forbidden droplets.

dosnt hamp activate ? so unaffected noir wouldnt beable to be tributed no ?
It does not 😎 it’s very similar to a kaiju ☕️
is there a decent budget option for thrust?
Hmmm I guess it depends on your budget. Did you have a price range?
@@cardsandcoffeetcg i play 3 triple tactic talent to replace thrust, Thrust is too expensive right now. I can still win over kastira or another deck with that. Just some time they out gas me then i lose.
Very similar to my deck , but why nobody play dark hole ???
try dark hole but it kind of worse than lightning storm. especially you want more sky striker card than a dark hole in your hand.
So technicacly .. i don't need accesscode talker to play sky striker ... i can just play ningirsu and go for game? Btw I don't understand why did u put zeus without any other xyz monster

Thus deck profile just feels like a big flex lol
Lol but My strikers a low rarity ☠️
Your videos are very inspirational 🙏🙏
Your comments are inspirational! Thanks for the kind words☕️
How would the build change with the new striker in Monstrous Revenge ?
Are you talking about the new link monster?
@@cardsandcoffeetcg yes
@@H3roYGO i definitely think it should be included ☕️ not only giving the deck more tools for removal, but another name to use as link material
acesscode?
Definitely something you can include, but I find it’s a lot harder to make without halq. And even then it isn’t always game. But that’s just been my experience lately ☕️
@Cards&CoffeeTCG would underworld goddess be a viable choice? Since she can use your opponents field.
@@asterfeniox yes! Definitely a solid choice!
Spright melffy?
Sooooon ☕️
Hamp is trash. Take it out, and there's your second kaiju.
