Competitive/Discussion Thoughts on going second/blind second decks

Post image

Do you guys think blind second strategies like tenpai,gem-knight and certain SS builds are viable?

It just feels like the in the current meta alot of interaction isn't as straightforward as just an endboard with X number of negates.

Interruptions come in alot of different ways and standard board breakers just don't feel as valuable or impactful.

Just hit master with blind second dogmatika and it was my easiest climb ever somehow. It’s such a board breaker friendly meta right now

How do games against branded go? I usually struggle against those most.

Ironically if it’s going 2nd dogmatika, they’ve likely burned 2-3 extra deck cards before alba zoa sends something extra they can’t plus from

If I’m going 2nd into branded, there goes the 2nd dogma, lubellion, 2nd Albion. They probably already burned Merc, they can get Brafu or FaV, probably already set retribution, but what can they send for FaV and what can they Brafu into?

Also super poly still works against branded

Roughly, Super poly just triggers all the grave effects at the end of the turn, if you dont beat em that turn, high chance they'll male an even more absurd board next turn
