User blog:RaijinSenshi19/Jackknife Deck - Shippu Jinrai



Idea behind the deck:

I really like the Jackknife cards, and I was surprised of how little attention "Jaeger" actually got. Meanwhile, I also really love "Thunder Storm". So I remembered a deckbuilding technique that some Yugioh players have done: Shifting the entire deck strategy by using the Side-Deck cards. While not as full fledged as their strategies, this does let me switch between both Jackknife forms or even use a combination of both. Both fun and strategic.

The name comes from the name of the theme of "DaiRaiOh" from Super Robot Taisen.

Winning image:

The main strategy is to get out "Jeager" and equip a weapon to dish out damage quickly. Any Size 1 that shows up is just a plus. Due to "Jaeger"s ability to simply dump a card and deal 2 damage, he can potentially push for 4 damage at once. And possibly drain my opponent of a lot of defensive cards that reduce damage. To replenish the hand I included a maximum amount of Dragonic Grimoire, and two Dragogenius. Jackknife Gift's main usage is to give "Jaeger" more Soul for his Soulguard, but I am including a copy of "Gold Ritter", in case I'll be able to pull him off.

I take out my Dragoenergy, Dragogenius and "Jeager" cards when switching to Deck B, who is utilizing Move to defend more than anything, while "Thunder Storm" gets rid of annoying monsters. Dragon's Seal can grant me an extra attack or a new form/Soul for Jack. It's not always going to go off, but it is darn fun when it does.

Last words:

That is the quick run-down of this deck. Any kind of tips, critique or questions are welcome.

Next time, I might just go over my Jackknife "Savior" deck as well.
