Runick is one of three archetypes released in the Tactical Masters box. The deck has a very unique gameplay compared to the other decks.

Core deck

Runick Tip (Key)

In each current archetype of the game, having a searcher support is extremely important to help the deck have more connection between the cards in the deck and maintain the stability of the deck.

Runick Tip helps you get 1 Runick card from your deck into your hand, then remove 1 card from your opponent's top deck.

Talking about Runick cards, the Runick cards in the main deck are all spell cards. Each archetype's quick-play spell card carries two effects:

The unique effect of that card and the accompanying effect of removing cards from the opponent's top deck.
This effect allows you to special summon 1 Runick monster from the extra deck to the extra monster zone.

You can only activate 1 card of the same name in the same turn.

Due to providing 2 effects in the same card, Runick quick-play spell cards are rarely discarded when drawn to the hand. You can flexibly use these cards to summon 1 Runick monster from the extra deck in case you cannot use their own effects, as well as help your field have 1 more turret monster.

One important thing when you use Runick cards is that you must skip your next battle phase. This makes it difficult for the deck to use strong cards related to the battle phase such as Borrelsword Dragon, Zeus because you are forced to skip nearly 90% of the game's battle phase.

Runick Fountain (Key)

Runick Fountain is an environmental spell card of the archetype, this card allows you to use Runick's quick-play spell cards right from your hand during your opponent's turn without having to place them face down on the field first.

The remaining effect of Runick Fountain can be activated when you activate Runick's quick-play spell card, you can return up to 3 Runick quick-play spell cards from the grave (with target) to the bottom deck, then draw return the corresponding number of articles.

Overall, Runick Fountain is an extremely important card for Runick. First, this is an environment spell card, which gives you an empty slot for other trap spells because the environment spell card belongs to a different zone outside the spell/trap cards zone.

The advantage when Runick players can activate quick-play spells from their hand even during the opponent's turn helps the player no longer fear that previously set up cards will be destroyed by the opponent's back row hate.

Runick Fountain 's trigger effect helps the deck always have a stable resource source. Drawing up to 3 cards can increase the chance of strong staples and you don't have to worry about drawing back the cards that have been drawn. returns, and this withdrawal ability is something very few decks can do.

Furthermore, cards drawn by Runick Fountain can be used that turn thanks to Runick Fountain 's effect, and with each different Runick Fountain activated, you can reactivate the card's trigger effect. this article again.

Hugin the Runick Wings (Key)

When Hugin is summoned from the extra deck, you can discard 1 card from your hand (cost) to add 1 Runick environmental spell from the deck to your hand. Runick Fountain is Hugin's only target currently.

Hugin can protect your other cards from being destroyed by card effects by removing this monster from the field. Hugin is an extremely necessary protection for your Runick Fountain .

However, to be able to protect other cards, Hugin needs to be a monster that is not affected by those spending effects. Or more easily understood, Hugin will not be able to protect your monsters from Raigeki because she herself will also be destroyed by Raigeki .

When Hugin is on the field and destroyed, this monster will automatically trigger effects and return to the extra deck. This is a mandatory trigger effect, so you will not be able to chain Hugin to protect your Runick Fountain .

Runick Allure (Key)

Runick Allure can increase the number of cards your opponent discards each turn by a significant amount. Every time a player activates a quick-play spell card, the player's opponent with Runick Allure must discard 1 card from their top deck.

Because there is no limit to the number of times an effect can be used per turn or in a chain, Runick Allure can trigger and remove a fair number of cards thanks to other Runick cards. Furthermore, this card can also trigger effects even when the opponent uses quick-play spells. In return, you can only get 1 Runick Allure on your side of the field.

Runick Allure is also a card with a mandatory effect, so you cannot use this card to chain after Runick Fountain .

Munin the Runick Wings (Key)

When Munin is summoned from the extra deck, by discarding 1 card in your hand (cost), you can add 1 Runick permanent spell card from the deck to your hand. Currently, Runick Allure is Munin 's only target.

When a card or effect is activated that targets Runick cards or your face-down cards, you can remove Munin from the field to negate the activation and destroy them. This effect can be used to protect your cards from danger from cards that Hugin cannot protect such as Cosmic Cyclone , however that effect must have a target for Munin to be able to protect it. Okay.

At each end phase, you will gain 1000LP, a relative amount of LP that helps you survive through the opponent's battle phase.

Runick Freezing Curses, Runick Flashing Fire and Runick Destruction (Key)

Destruction , Freezing Curses and Flashing Fire are Runick's disruptions. These cards carry very common effects such as disabling monster effects and destroying monsters/spells/traps.

All 3 of these cards have targets and they can only target the opponent's cards, the limitation of only activating 1 card of the same name is not something too strange.

Runick Smiting Storm, Runick Golden Droplet and Runick Dispelling (Key)

Besides popular disruptions such as Destruction , Freezing Curses and Flashing Fire , Runick also has other cards with other unique effects that support Runick's gameplay.

Golden Droplet can remove 4 of the opponent's top deck cards, but in return they will be able to draw 1 additional card from before, this card can be used in combination with Dispelling .

Dispelling will force the opponent to discard 1 random card from their hand to the grave and discard 2 top deck cards. This is a quick-play spell card with Runick's activation conditions. Unlike other spell cards, Dispelling can only activate the above effect if the opponent takes the action of taking a card from the deck to the hand (other than draw phase).

Unlike the remaining Runick cards, Smiting Storm is a spell card that only has the effect of removing cards from the opponent's top deck without any accompanying side effects. This card will remove the largest number of cards. The top deck card is equal to the number of cards your opponent controls on the field. Smiting Storm does not require the player to discard an exact number of cards, but instead an arbitrary number. This is an advantage when this card always has a chance to successfully resolve the effect because the effect does not require a prior number of cards to be discarded.

Compared to Destruction , Freezing Curses , Flashing Fire , Golden Droplet , Dispelling and Smiting Storm are relatively passive and depend too much on the opponent. However, they are not completely discarded because each of these cards also has the effect of summoning a Runick monster from the extra deck, so these cards can always be activated.

Runick Slumber (Key)

Runick Slumber is a different card because this card can affect monsters on both fields. By targeting 1 face-up monster on the field, this monster will not be destroyed once, however that monster will not be able to attack this turn, subsequently eliminating 3 of your opponent's top decks.

Runick Slumber can protect your floodgate monsters from destruction or the ability to make the opponent's monsters unable to attack is also a good way to play to prevent them from being able to summon Zeus (target monster). xyz).

Geri the Runick Fangs and Freki the Runick Fangs (Key)

Geri and Freki act as two defensive monsters of the deck as well as help Runick recover an additional amount of resources.

Staple

Bringing a new and different gameplay compared to most decks in the game, Runick's gameplay revolves around the act of continuously using spells. This also helps your deck building open up more strategic directions.

Lựa chọn cho lần triệu hồi thường

Because there is no need to use a normal summon during the turn, Ipiria can be used in Runick as a deck thinning card. By normal summoning Ipiria , you can draw 1 additional card from the deck.

An advantage of this monster is that Ipiria will not become the target of negations (negating/disabling effects) coming from Ash Blossom , Effect Veiler , Infinite Impermanence . Of course, the above cards can be used against Ipiria , but disabling Ipiria 's ability doesn't bring much effect to the other side, so your ability to summon and use it successfully is not effective. Ipiria 's response is almost absolute.

Inspector Boarder will be a monster that causes a lot of discomfort to the opponent with 2000 attack power as well as the limited ability to activate Inspector Boarder 's monster effects.

Vanity's Fiend or Majesty's Fiend can be summoned by sacrificing summoned Runick monsters from the extra deck. At the same time, this sacrifice also helps empty your extra monster zone so that other Runick monsters can be summoned to the field (the effect of the Runick spell only allows you to summon Runick monsters from the extra deck to the extra monster). zone).

Mystic Mine

Mystic Mine is well known for the discomfort this card brings and will be even more annoying when used with Runick.

Các lá bài hand trap

Runick can probably be played without hand traps so you probably don't need to add them to your deck.

Các floodgate

Add a few other options that you might be interested in.

Các floodgate

Similar to hand traps, these floodgate cards do not have too much to say about them. Depending on the play style of the current meta decks, you can choose the appropriate floodgates for your deck.

Hỗ trợ làm mỏng deck

One Day of Peace can help your Dispelling reach its activation condition and you won't take damage until your next turn.

Upstart Goblin is not too strange for decks with less than 40 cards.

Reasoning helps you send dozens of spells to the grave and dig up monsters like Ipiria , Inspector Boarder , and Jowgen .

Engine

Runick cards do not have any summoning limits when they are used, which gives players many ways to mix and match their decks to their own style. I would like to introduce to you a few small engines to install into the deck.

Spellbook

The common Spellbook trio of Blue Boy , Secrets , Knowledge and other Spellbook cards can also be played in Runick.

Các lá bài Spellbook

In TCG's October 2022 list, Spellbook of Judgment went from being banned to being used at a maximum of 1, which is a good sign for Spellbook. Runick also benefits from Spellbook of Judgment because the number of spell cards used in 1 turn of Runick is not small.

Các quái thú Spright

Hugin is a level 2 Runick monster, so it can help Spright monsters freely jump onto the field and perform combos.

Các hỗ trợ Spight

Using the Spright engine helps your strategy have more disruptions from Red , Carrot , Smasher and many other gameplays like I:P/Knightmare Unicorn ,... thanks to the very smooth combo ability from Spright.

Các quái thú Fairy

Condemned Witch is not a bad choice for a normal summon. This monster can take strong staples like Forbidden Chalice and Forbidden Droplet from the deck to the hand. During the opponent's turn, Condemned Witch can help you summon the Barrier Statue of the Heavens , preventing the player from special summoning other LIGHT-type monsters.

Exchange of the Spirit

EARTH Fairy monsters will help you destroy your opponent's deck faster.

Sky Striker

Sky Striker is also a deck with a playstyle that uses many spells that have appeared in the meta for a very long time.

Sky Striker

Sky Striker's gameplay requires no monsters in the main monster zone to activate magic. It can be played with Runick when the deck can play with a very small number of monsters.

Magical Musket

Magical Musket is an archetype with the playstyle of activating spells/traps from the hand like Runick.

Các quái thú tuner

Hugin and Munin 's effects require a cost of discarding 1 card in hand. Fabled monsters can take advantage of this to trigger the effects of Fabled monsters with additional materials for synchro/xyz/link summoning.

Rose Dragon

Rose Dragon monsters are used to perform combos to create synchro monsters.

Gale Dorga engine

Use the Gale Dorga effect to send Kitkallos from the extra deck to the grave to gain more grave resources more quickly.

Magicians' Souls and Illusion of Chaos act as an engine to help you filter the cards in your hand.

Runick ft Spellbook with familiar Spellbook cards along with the return of two other familiar cards, Spellbook of Judgment and Jowgen .

How to overcome it

Các cách anti Runick

Although it has an extremely annoying gameplay, Runick only shows one way to play: using magic cards and eliminating as many of the opponent's cards as possible. The main goal when confronting Runick is Runick Fountain , the second most important card in the strategy. Encouraging the opponent to use Runick Fountain can make it impossible for them to recover resources and slow down their strategy greatly.

Ghost Bell or Ash Blossom can block 1 use of the resource recovery effect from Runick Fountain 's grave. Ghost Ogre and Cosmic Cyclone can also solve this problem and be more thorough.

Anti-Spell Fragrance is always a fear of spell-heavy decks.

Eradicator Epidemic Virus can destroy a series of spells/traps for up to 3 turns. This card is only suitable for decks with DARK monsters and is relatively difficult to use because the sacrifice requirement of this card is a monster with ATK on par with a boss. Released in the same box as Runick, Labrynth is a deck that can make good use of the Eradicator Epidemic Virus .

Các cách anti Runick

Spell Canceller is a well-known monster because of the annoying ability it brings, but is rarely used because there is no optimal summoning method. Recently, this monster was reused in several Tearalaments deck lists, being able to revive Spell Canceller from the grave thanks to Number 60: Dugares the Timeless (a rank 4 generic monster). It is predicted that in the future at TCG this monster may appear in many other decks because the EARTH Fairy monsters of Exchange of the Spirits speed up the deck mining process even more than at present.

Besides focusing on breaking spell cards, you can also deal with Runick through your deck's winning ways. Chaos Hunter and Imperial Iron Wall are almost two cards that make Runick unable to breathe when most Runick cards, especially Runick Destruction , need to be discarded before they can be activated.
