"This guy’s deck is similar to yours." frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
After marveling at the card, Grace Spring turned to Ree Shil: "You play the Sword Card Deck, she plays the Knife Deck."
As soon as these four cards were presented, anyone could see that this was going to be a full-fledged Knife Deck.
"It’s not just ’similar,’ her Knife Deck is of a much higher quality than mine."
Ree Shil shrugged his shoulders.
Even with the later addition of the Flying Sword Immortal, his Sword Deck only had four A-level cards.
Look at her Knife Deck, just in the first reveal round there are already four A-level cards.
And he wouldn’t believe it if there were not at least two or three more A-level cards in the following rounds.
"But isn’t it overkill to use this deck against the opponent?"
Samuel Chess also expressed his view: "Pulling out your strongest deck so early, feels a bit premature."
"How do you know this is definitely her strongest deck?"
But Greenfeather’s counter-question silenced everyone.
Yes, even Samuel Chess himself had kept another Chess Card deck reserved.
In this group competition, no one in theory should reveal their strongest deck.
Unless their performance was pushed to the brink, but it certainly wouldn’t be in the first game.
"The City Competition, is filled with hidden talents..."
Ree Shil’s tone was slightly heavy.
While they were conversing, Ice Maiden had already revealed a new card.
[Knife Ronin]
Chasing the Wind, 30 points, A ƒгeewёbnovel.com
Attack 30, 100/100, 0/4
[Lick Blood - Passive]: Knife Ronin cannot initiate an attack, but the attack carries a [Poisoned] effect
[Knife Edge Wave - 1 Energy Point]: Knife Ronin launches one attack at the same target
[Knife Flow Thick Waves - 2 Energy Points]: Knife Ronin launches two attacks at the same target
[Knife Sea Frenzy - 3 Energy Points]: Knife Ronin launches three attacks at the same target
([Poisoned]: Suffers from an unavoidable 5 point damage in the next round, can stack)
This card is very similar to the Wind Listening card and belongs to the Chasing the Wind type of cards.
Without energy, it cannot attack.
Except for the first round of warm-up, no matter which skill is used in the following rounds, it drfinitly equals to 30 points of regular DPS per round.
Moreover, it carries the stackable [Poisoned] effect, providing strong single-round burst damage.
It is clear that this card is prepared specifically for the round count of the [Thirty-Six Blade Array].
"Wow, there are four A-level cards!"
The Flat Orange in the audience was once again amazed: "And this card is even more rare, it’s a 3-Skill Card."
"Impressive, it might actually be an all-A deck."
Samuel Chess rubbed his chin.
"Who are you to judge others."
Greenfeather rolled her eyes at him.
Unlocking the all-A deck in the group stage, Samuel Chess was the first.
"That’s different, mine is actually a pseudo A-level deck."
But Samuel Chess didn’t see it that way.
As the card game continued, Ree Shil found that Ice Maiden’s deck was not just a simple pure Knife Card Deck.
The deck configuration was completely centered around the core scene card [Thirty-Six Blade Array].
It mainly followed a multi-segment attack strategy, which was to trigger the various effects of the [Thirty-Six Blade Array] as soon as possible.
And the core DPS card was an even more exaggerated combo card than the [Knife Ronin].
That 30-point Wind Chaser Card could launch a burst attack five times at the same target in one round after charging.
Five attacks combined with the three effects of [Thirty-Six Blade Array], in theory, the total output is 200x2+200=600 points.
This is not just an exaggeration, it’s against the heavens.
However, Ree Shil thought that constructing such a deck was somewhat unnecessary.
It felt more like showing off.
Because that Wind Chaser Card needs eight rounds to charge.
Eight rounds for five attacks, it’s not a very powerful card, you could even say it’s a bit weak.
Then 600 points of DPS, where 200 points of the target’s damage and 200 points of [Penetration], are seriously overkilled.
So he thought it was unnecessary.
Plus the other Knife Cards’ effects and mechanisms, it felt like this deck was more like a PVE deck.
This analysis made him more cautious about the contestant number four in Group 13.
A PVE deck can stomp opponents in group competitions, let alone a deck specifically designed for PVP, you can imagine how powerful it must be.
In the following games of Group 13, Ice Maiden won the first place qualification to proceed without any suspense with her unchanging deck.
The other card players in the group did think about countering her Knife Deck later.
For instance, by adding more damage reduction cards and the like since they are the perfect counter to multi-segment damage.
However, they were defeated by the significantly leading performance of Ice Maiden.
The best performer ranked second did force Ice Maiden to use her King Card, but that was all.
Ree Shil considered that if he knew in advance that the opponent was running this Knife Deck, his probability of winning with his Sword Deck plus some targeted miscellaneous cards would be high.
But this was under the precondition of knowing the opponent’s deck in advance.
If he really met the contestant number four and she deployed a completely new deck, it would be hard to say.
Ree Shil was confident in himself and was also confident about getting good results in this City Competition.
But he never considered himself an invincible existence in this City Competition.
He had the top-tier card player’s talent of the "Absolute Card Sense" which rapidly accumulates a deck, but who knows if others might have other top-tier talents.
Moreover, many of the contestants participating had been card players far longer than he had.
Some people had been card players for several years or even decades, the accumulation and experience over time cannot be ignored.
