Title: How do I make a good Royal Paladin deck?
Post by: crossflames on May 09, 2014, 05:28:08 AM
I've realized that most grade 2's in Royal Paladin consisted of 9k and mostly of 8k units. The deck is counterblast heavy and is not very effective independently without a damage unflipper.

So.... I was wondering on how to make a good royal paladin deck with non-seeker units, non-Jewel Knights,  no Sanctuary of Light, no Exculpate or Blaster Blade Burst, and no Sanctuary Guard Dragon. (Exception. Seeker of Bravery Ars) which is a damage unflipper.

I know it may seem troublesome but i'd like to be original and try decks that other players tend to never use. In advance, thank you all very much for helping me.

Alright...  Let's start with the ace unit.  There are still quite a few you can choose from.  You could try a Fang of Light, Garmore build.  They don't use any counterblast outside of Blaster Blade and Constance, and can form 21k columns in the RG easily.  Another option is to be like Daigo and use a Pendragon/Soul Saver deck, or a Galahad deck.  There's also the option to build an Alfred deck, or Brigitte/Gancelot.  You also could use Toulouse, but I think he's a little restrictive.  The main problem with all of these decks is that only Toulouse and Galahad can give you 11k Vanguards, which are currently really important.  You don't mention it in your OP, but I'm assuming Majesty Lord Blaster is also out of the question?

Thank you for replying. Nope, Majesty lord Blaster is fine since I haven't really seen many players using the card. ^_^ Do you know any ways to counter Legion while still having a grade 3 with 10000 power?

The best way would be to maximize the power of your attacks.  If they don't have enough shield to guard your attacks, they won't be able to get cards in the drop zone.  Going second also helps, since outside of Metalborgs, they can't Legion until you have a G3 as well.  Max out your Perfect Guards, and your hand size, and try to have Rear-guards that your opponent might attack instead of your Vanguard, such as Palamedes, Especial Intercepts, etc. 

A lot of the decks I mentioned in my first reply can hit high numbers easily.  I recommend you go for Fang of Light, due to the easy 21k columns, or try MLB because of the extra crit, and higher defensive power.  Alfred is also a good choice, as it can be used for both maintaining hand advantage and hitting decent numbers. 

Galahad helps you maintain hand, due to the ability to Superior Ride from the top 5.  Pendragon also has this, and with Soul Saver, can increase your RG's power significantly.  Brigitte/Gancelot won't have the same advantage or power as the other decks, but it does help that it increases your chances of getting a 'trigger,' (+5k from checking a G3), and can cycle some of those G3s back into the deck for a G2 (Gancelot for Blaster Blade.)

Cat Butler and Miss Mist are awkward but effective choices. Countering Legion can be hard because of being a non-LB ability. Going second creates a window of oppurtunity for you but for your opponent as well. Good and old CBD is still effective but if you play online you will get bashed and a lot of people won't even cf you. Second choice is standing vanguards. They can even the field.

Why would you use Cat Butler, Miss Mist, and CBD in a RP deck?

honestly? I still kick ass with King Of Knights, Alfred.

Making a good Royal Paladin deck is like making a good deck with all the over clans, pick your ace unit(s) and build around them, for royal paladin, if you're running SGD throw in 4 Snogal and the CB2 call a war beast High Dog Breeder, Garmour g2, Barcgal, anything that compliments SGD's Limit break. Sanctuary Of Light, Planetal Dragon, I run 3-4 Mithril and Battle Flag Constance to get a back row of little storm, why? because of Planetals Limit Break. Pick a card and use what goes well with it.
Not only that, the restrictions you put limit you to what you can build and it amuses me how you ignore how quick a game can go and you don't want to use CB heavy cards, there are ways around that like timing and strategy, I wont use Sing Savers skill for example until I have 5 in the soul, double tap his ability and either win the game or destroy the opponents hand so I will probably win on my next turn, depending on my opponents field dictates on the choice of using BBS skill or not and whether I have used any counter blasts as I plan ahead. just play smart, think about how you want to win and go for it.

I think you misread the original post.  You just gave strategies for the cards they said they did not want to use.  SGD is fine, since FoL Garmore decks are very similar.  Although, you did mention Alfred, a card I can't give a lot of strategy for, so...  Maybe talk a bit more about that?

Snogals are awful in SGD. Toypugal are a better choice.
 What has CBD to do with this?.: Triangle Lock and duo lock.

While unrelated, Tournaments hosted here disallow Dual Clanning as well.

Not exactly. I never stated the rules are a must. There'll be official and unofficial tournaments that'll allow mixing. You'll see, i guess.~

from my point, its really easy to create a build from Royal Paladin,
because it almost have every style,

example my troll deck  :P
Brigitte Deck with only 2 Grade 2 and never miss grade... :P
Brigitte
grade 0: (20)
1x Fullbau (starter)
3x Barcgal
3x Flogal (stand)
3x Future Knight Llew (crit)
4x Elaine (heal)
4x epona (crit)
2x rachelle (crit)

grade 1: (16)
4x marron
4x iseult (null)
4x toypugal
4x blaster javelin

grade 2: (2)
1x blaster blade
1x blaster dark

grade 3: (12)
4x brigitte
4x palomedes
4x gancelot
game
try every method to ride brigitte, then just spamming attack, its like having 25 trigger in your deck :P

or my Royal Soul Deck
Demon Slaying Knight, Lohengrin
Lohengrin
grade 0:
1x kuraudia (starter)
4x elaine (heal)
4x margal (draw)
2x sharon (stand)
4x epona (crit)
2x owl (crit)

grade 1:
4x borgal
3x iseult (null)
2x marron
4x pegasus knight

grade 2:
2x gigantech dozer
4x barron
4x galatin
2x gordon

grade 3:
4x lohengrin
2x KoK Alfred
2x SSD
game
try to arrange your line like this:

baron                     lohengrin       baron
pegasus knight      borgal           pegasus knight

its works really well with 10k VG
because it will became 20k attaker all the time,
this deck dont run many CB, thats why lohengrin skill is need to consider :P


so basically, you just need to play with all combo card to make those weak card turn into a great card...  ;D
