so i've tested this deck and the main function is to breakride PBA late game and use mackart to call a 7k (for example masquerade) or through judgebau to get swordbreaker if you called the two, and then if your opponent is a four damage, that's when you legion, but do note that PBA is not your friend until next turn or if you have another PBA in hand, then you'll be fine, it will last you until your opponent decks out or if he/she says no guard and be like kai that drive checks two crits.

Do note that this is still in development stage so I will accept your opinions about it and see if that change will improve it's performance

Spoiler

the ones that are highlighted red are the ace cards, but no one cares about this right?

Drop Howlbau/Glonn to 2 and bump up Mackart to 4, he's like the best card on the planet for Abyss and you have 6 legions. I also don't think you need both Glonn and Howlbau at the same time, especially at 3 each. Howl lets you make Blaster Dark 19 columns, but you'd rather just use Masquerade to hit that number. Glonn's base power is terrible, but it filters soul for Mordred/Abyss after they used Judgebau, and Swordbreakers will have soul blasted already. It's up to you, but you only need one.

If you're playing Mordred, you could probably play some Shadow Lancers.

[Hagoromo Kitsune]

In my eyes, this deck is balanced, if I replaced one of them with shadow lancer, then I will waste the other PBA that is in my hand and replace it with Mordred, also I putted mackart to 3 because judgebau is more useful than mackart, and like I said, judgebau is really a useful card to bring out either howlbau, glonn, or the two swordbreakers for that massive hand, and I do not worry about the soul because I'll use PBA next turn again and legion again because those 2 swordbreakers helped me go to seek mate more than once in a game

imagine you're in my situation and you don't have enough cards in drop to do legion, those two swordbreakers help with that problem because not only it helps you legion, but also helps you with drawing cards, and I can repeat this sequence until the opponent decks out because of the infinite legioning

[Cherry]

I know what Swordbreaker does. Your only way of retiring Swordbreakers is replacements or Cormac. Then you still need Judgebau or Mordred to superior call them from deck which still requires a Counterblast and/or a Phantom unit to hit, which is no longer possible when the opponent hits five damage and/or you run out of Counterblasts. Since you're not playing the Dorint unflip engine, this is going to happen quickly, even if you can recycle Heal Triggers.

You can discard Cormac or a copy of Mordred with Shadow Lancer to deck thin. You're not always going to get two of Phantom Abyss. Mackart and Judgebau have different purposes. Judgebau is to grab Swordbreakers or Glonn/Howlbau (which you still don't need both of here). Mackart is to free you from having to call something from hand when you Legion and refill your field for free your next Relegion.

How do you get only a 40% win rate with a deck that even third rate card fighters can use?

It's like trying to fix what isn't broken is the term here and that's what you done putting howlbau AND Gron in the build when not needed. Abyss hits 22k twice on its own so I do not see the need for it. 1 Gron would be okay if you plan on having Abyss for a 21k rear column but I do not see many players even doing that.

[Hagoromo Kitsune]

That's why I'm mixing it up a bit, and I seems pretty fine if you use it right ._.

[Cherry]

>Pretty fine if you use it right

??????

You're posting it here, you could try testing some more optimal choice suggestions instead of trying to nerf your deck to the lowest possible level. Mixing it up is fine, but 3 Howlbau and 3 Glonn...

[Cherry]

I'm not sure how a proven statistic qualifies as an opinion.

It's up to you but I would think you posted a deck for fixes/criticism/comments.

[[SE] Tidus]

The deck is almost too easy to provide fodder for legion. I'm not sure how you wouldn't have enough for a second legion ride with abyss considering you just sack 3 the previous turn. Those 4ks and 6ks won't help you in long game. It more hurts you. Glon with Abyss and trying to take advantage of swordbreaker is pretty bad combo.  It almost never works.

[Hagoromo Kitsune]

Sorry about that comment back there, I was half asleep at that time, I do agree that it works horrible and now I have made a few changes to the deck

-3 howlbau
-1 glonn
+1 mackart
+3 shadow lancer

I have thought about this since I made that comment and I think I'll have to test this new change to the deck and see if this change has made an impact to the deck

Please forgive me :p

Worth noticing that mackart does not call sword-breaker. She is not a revenger.

[Hagoromo Kitsune]

lol i know, but let me just think of a new strategy for this deck because someone here just tried to put in shadow lancer

click my sig to see my version.
Firs of all, remove swordbreakers. Read closely the Phantom Abyss and you will realize why. Also I run just 4 grade 3's and it's been effective. I used also. Break ride slows down any Legion deck. The main point of Legion is to Legion ASAP and get the skills that come from it.  As for Glonn add one more copy of it. You will have some soul down there and it is better to use it. As why three, he will always be the retirement cost and you will need to use that skill to at least, ripp off good shield and Sentinels.
As for the freed space from grade 3, you should use Willy revenger Mana. It's that it has an 8k base power but it's a no cb +1 on field. You should remember that the more grade 1 or higher you call, the more triggers you will get.

You realise first of all....

1. Mackart call can replace the swordbreakers for a revenger copy anyway so why would you take such a good abuse usage of draw power out of the deck. AND provides for legion.

2. Mordred is a very good tech card to have in case you do not have Abyss in hand which doesn't always happen so its a great backup and works with Judgebau.

3. Abyss will rip out Sentinals regardless cause of its obscene 4 drive checks.

4. 4 Grade 3 is not a great idea as there is no proper way to search for a grade 3 in any scenario. That is just poor use.

5. The logic saying "more grade 1 or higher you call, more triggers you get" Is not true at all....

It depends on your deck ratio and how well you play that matters most. Not the trigger count as with Abyss. It does not matter if you get triggers or not. The sheer power abusage and retiring and calling factor will always be beneficial.

[Cherry]

Just an fyi: decks shouldn't really depend on using 4 Grade 3s unless they have godlike card cycling and the G3 searcher forerunner is a considerably better option than the favored advertised forerunner (i.e. use of Red Pulse Dragokid over the Perdition starters for Vortex).

Swordbreakers are okay even if they're not Revengers. Filters soul and gives draw power. Then Glonn filters the rest but doesn't wind up interfering with the entire Grade 1 lineup.
