General Strategy:
The aim of this deck is to create ultimate pressure with the field swarm. Over half of my G2's have certain on-hit skills to force out some shields from my opponent early/mid game if he/she doesnt want those skills to trigger. Ideally you want to ride on Light Saver on your first G3 ride. After that you can choose to stride (if you dont have enough drop for legion) or just legion with Light Saver so that the VG column will be harder to guard (and for soul as well). By the time your opponent reaches 4-5 you can just slap on Saint Blow (if you are out of CB) or Sing Saver (4CB + 5 Souls = 3 VG punches in a turn, assuming you have enough copies in the deck).
Card Choices:
For G0 I use Millius as FV for the 5k base early game. I can also put her into soul fast as soon as I've performed stride. (Set up for SSSD)
8C4D for enough pressure as well as maintaining enough resources to guard.
For G1 I use 4 unflipper PG because this deck is a bit CB heavy. Cynric creates pressure early game. Cycirlz is for the stride fodder mainly. Hasbasado forms 15k block column late game with Black Mantle. Octavius is there to filter out the card in soul (mainly you wana ditch out BBSK or SSSD). Both Hasbasado and Octavius are run at low copies because they are searchable by Light Saver.
For G2 Light Blaze creates more powerful columns if you opponent decides to let it pass. Black Mantle acts as the 11k beater as well as Grangal's counterpart for more unflipping. Twin Sword is there mainly to recover from field nuke. BBSK running at 2 is for legion purpose only.
For G3 Sing Saver as the main boss should be self-explainatory. I use Light Saver as backup because not only does he have a similar ability as Altomile(pump up), he also searches out the G1 boosters for free with the on-hit skill.
And thats pretty much about it. Feel free to leave comments/suggestions on this deck.

Anything that cost soul will backfire thing saver,seriously I have been in many situation that i lack one more soul to attack 3 times.becareful with 2 mate since if you ride one and another in damage well thing saver is dead,millius is good tho but i prefer ambrosius if facing kagero *cough*gatlingclaw*cough* (both are good so this is personal prefrence)

I'd have to agree. I'd prob make the mate a little higher but that's just my opinion.

Octavius is just like a back up plan to ditch out BBSK if one of them stucks in soul. I think with Margal/Black Mantle/Legion I can still manage to get 5 souls most of the games. BBSK running at 2 I think its fine because there are multiple ways to searching him out (Starter/Twin Sword/Gablade/Light Saver).
Even if I dont have 5 souls my alternative strategy will be using Saint Blow and overpowering my opponent with that 48k line.

Knight of Twin Sword doesn't look like it can do you any favors here that Gildas himself wouldn't. With you discarding for Stride, Legion fuel comes easy to set him off all the faster.
Black Mantle could be replaced with Brave Lion here only for his Seeker name. Mantle is arguably better but more Seeker counterblasts are insanely important here.
How's the deck doing in practice? Have you been able to maintain stable Counterblasts?
-
I think his CB is fine,I used a Alfred Thing saver (basically the same CB principle) and the only unflipper was glynngal,but it can use the CB quiet nicely.he got special pg AND fragment(that is matle's english name) so CB is fine as long he doesnt spam it.Gildas can call seeker upon legion which is good but twin can call fragment,also it can be use in battle to provide another attack (gildas can do it by using sing tho)the fragment is good because 11k attack is good to force shield from VG while lion cant force more and it charge soul and unflip which makes your opponent keep guarding unless they want to face sing.Remember the deck focus is sing saver and light is back up.Light saver ecspecial cb can be done by only having 2 seekers in damage
-
The thing is: Alfred XIV rarely needs to counterblast in practice and carries itself with a Critical. Light Saver needs to counterblast to make its power turns. Twin Sword's forth attack providing is nice since you don't want to use Gildas with Thing Saver to spare an extra Thing attack. Mantle is better, I already acknowledge that. But this deck wants Seekers to play and Counterblast is my only issue with it.
I'd rather Black Mantle myself but damage could easily screw up badly here. The opponent has to guard both of them anyway unless they want to risk Thing Saver and extra power.
Expending more counterblasts to thin the deck and control the game or to use all on Sing Saver is what I think would be most desired.

It seems my playing style is All or Nothing so that effect my opinion (which is bad I know)Most of the time when i use alfred i cant fully fill rg (i blame kagero for this).I think I can see a pattern (kinda) Sing +Non legion + (stride focus) +GB unit,While sing saver+legion+ (stride as utility)+seeker.is it right?So yeah I agree to add lion over fragment and Cedric over twin sword.But cherry would you agree to use 6D6C for easy RG or would you stick with 8C4D?

For RP mostly you wana go with 8C4D or 12C since RP has a lot of potential to rush early game as well as generating card advantage mid game. 6C6D is a bit too overkill for me in terms of generating card advantage.

That or you can abuse those new stands that give out 3k. But I wouldn't run more than 4 draws really it's not needed with stride, etc.

I used to play five draw, seven critical because Seekers had some hand problems in their bad matchups. However, with Stride, the failsafe fifth draw trigger does nothing for you. Eight Criticals should do you fine.
Though, I don't recommend a Cerdic.
