People need to stop looking at striker cards as single utility. Linkage is good not just from the meme otk setup. It's a literal starter and a quickie not OPT. It's a spell. At lets your aces dodge handtraps. It summons aces on opponent's turn, it can convert anchor targets and other things during chain links. The card is a custom card in more ways than just the otk and i think pure builds should definitely play 3.
I completely agree with this. I was thinking all those things too as he was discussing why he only plays 2. I always thought of Linkage as 3 more copies of Raye essentially.
Not just that, Sky Striker are extremely good at biding for time and enter the grind game so you can set up your OTK. Additionally, the amount of defensive and offensive capabilities of multirole is just disgustingly good. Stopping your opponent from responding while you go off is just crazy.
Very cool list. I may have to pick this up; been interested in the more control style deck after learning Branded. A Branded/Synchro player at one of my locals has an Azalea in his Extra deck and I called it the "S:P we have at Home" 😂
Ken and Gen is interesting. Definitely see it becoming a lot better when Camelia comes out. Also think Sinful Spoils is worth trying even for just Jet Synchron or getting spells out. There are some showcases with striker+ snake eye too, though those use a lot of new cards. Id say worth experimenting with.
Funnily enough I just started getting into Sky Striker, I'm picking up the last bit of deck on Sunday and I'll have it finished. I guess our fates aligned
I do like the Ken and Gen combo, its pretty interesting. The only issue about going into azalea is that you would have 2 spells (if this is your starter) and you will have to send azalea to grave if you dont have 4 spells to keep her alive. I do think it would interesting with camelia like with the other comment said, but it is interesting.
Been playing runick striker to moderate success. Don't think its even that good of a variant, but it makes going second a bit easier. Been teching in clear new world to convert my slepnirs into raye and siding in summon limit when i go first against combo decks. We are playing striker in 2023/almost 2024 we gotta slow the game down to a crawl because the engine is too slow.
When I saw your Shizuku post I decided to dust off my Striker cards from TOSS. Still waiting on the Linkage & a couple other things to arrive. May as well since the new support is a couple months out. Thoughts on the new-nu?
Bro why 2 playing linkage you playing two???? If you are playing 2 linkage then you are not playing sky strikers also where is your mind controls and upstart goblins?
first off this video was made pre-banlist, so that's where the upstarts and MCs are. Second, Linkage is overrated. I'm not tryna lock myself out of S:P and TY-PHON in a go-2nd deck. what you gonna do with those MCs and change of hearts and stuff? Link opponent's stuff into Zeke over and over? Nah

Thats fair and tbh i dont have too much testing with it, maybe i’ll change my opinion after a locals or two

3 is definitely mandatory. The card provides entirely too much utility to not run 3

Been watching your videos lately. Keep up the good work 👍😊
Awesome! Thank you!

haha forreal. hope the deck goes well for you

Been watching Thyme thief since the virtual world days. He always puts out quality lists.
The non trust list seems very solid, thank you !
You bet!
Great list! Trying this one out this weekend.
let me know how it goes!
Went 2-2. Super fun deck to play! I don’t have thrust, but it still worked out fine. I’ll be making a couple tweaks for next time.

Good timing then!

That's if you use her on summon effect. If you don't use it, then she stays. Even at 3 or less spells.
@@sukeforth7043Youre right, i dont know why i thought if theres no 3+ spell that she get removed. I guess its true that yugioh players cant read 🤣
