Neo Nectar: Token Musketeer Beatdown

Neo Nectar: Tomato Maiden GB8/Zoa Turbo

Today, we are bringing to you the deck that everyone has on their minds: Metatron Gyze.

The basic concept is similar to Celestial Tempo, using Protect markers to heal yourself and extend the game until you have enough time to get your 5 triggers, as well as adding to your hand the cost for Ultimate Stride.

Metatron healing you one damage when you re-ride to her is very impactful, as it keeps you in the game against agressive decks and beatdown decks while waiting for Gyze to win for you.

Additionally, Angel Feather uses a of of Rescue Checks, giving you more trigger checks to activate those triggers to open gyze, as well as open heals and draws to fill up your defensive hand.

While it may not be as well developed as Oracle Gyze yet, and appears to be slower as well, Metatron Gyze has a far better matchup against any agressive deck or beatdown deck, and as such will, alongside Gold Paladin, be most likely to enter the meta as popular and prevalent decks.



However, with Death Anchor Assassin and Oracle Gyze sitting on the top of the format, Metatron Gyze's position to take a big slice of the player number may difficult.

Lets go over some of the tricks the decks has:

Sunny Smile Angel (BT06) is an interesting unit that can return itself to the deck at the end of battle, replenishing deck and recycling heals in the deck.

However, its quite likely they will be discarded for G-Guardian, making it difficult to get back.

However, with the new card Celestial Raguel,

You can use Raguel to revive a Sunny Smile Angel, boost with it, and then send it back to the deck! Enjoy recycling Sunny Smile Angels while getting more heals and eating your G-Guardian cake!

Imagine this:

G-Guard, calling Suriel. Damage deck a draw with rescue check. Next turn, call a Raguel, reviving a sunny smile angel, and send it back to deck, getting yet another heal trigger back into the deck!

Brisk Medical Iruel is another card that needs to be looked at closely. While at first glance she is a card that does the same thing as the Knight of Twin Sword cycle of cards that require you to attack Vanguard, Iruel is slightly different: She can send a card to damage zone even if attacking Rear guard, meaning you can still heal and search up parts while denying damage.

Speaking of card selection, the deck also plays Candle Celestial Sariel to easily filter your deck, placing cards you want to grab into damage zone while reducing the number of non-triggers in the deck. Use her to plop in your ride, or ultimate stride costs.

Battle Cupid Nociel is another point of discussion.

While definately not the only way to go, by picking the Null-Draw, you can increase main deck space to include more rescue check cards, or perhaps more advantage searching cards. However, by playing the G1 version of the card, you get more access to fetching up your Ultimate Stride Cost.

In initial testing, both were tried, and for todays recipe we will be using the Null-Draw, but you may want to use the G1 Nociel in your build instead.

The main focus of the deck is of course Metatron, using her Protect marker to solidify your defences while healing damage while re-riding. Make sure to be careful not to spend up all of them healing that you run out of copies to ultimate stride. As a backup, we run Solidify Celestial Zerachiel as she provides not only easy superior ride if youre stuck in early game, but also has a Protect Gift to keep your defences up.

Metatron also has a second skill to give yourself a damage check during your main phase, so you can get digging for those extra triggers even earlier!

Gavrail Eden is one of the most powerful cards in the G-Zone. Unlike the Celestial deck that likes its card advantage and field deploying abilities much more, the Metatron-Gyze deck really enjoys Gavrails access to easy rescue checks to accelerate Gyze.

However, the calling ability is not to be looked down upon, as by calling Surgery Angels during battle phase to get even more rescue checks accelerates your Gyze.

Imagine this:

G-Guard. Ride from G3 to Metatron, use CB2 to call Iruel. Protect marker to hand (Heal 1). Stride Gavrail. Use Gavrail's skill to rescue check and get one face up damage (1 Check). Use Raguel's skill to revive Sunny smile angel behind Iruel. Iruel attacks, CB1 to swap a protect marker from hand to get a Metatron from damage. Sunny smile angel goes back to deck. Attack with Gavrail, use her skill to call a Surgery angel and Iruel. (4 checks total). Use Iruel boosted by Surgery angel to cb1 and swap your second protect marker to another card(the one you CB'd). Use surgery angel to get a rescue check (5th check). In one turn you healed 3, and trigger checked 5 times.

Obviously it wont happen often, but this kind of flow is what the deck is aiming for: Healing while getting cards and damage checking.

With all the factors explained, this deck does particularly well against beatdown type decks, as well as decks aiming to win off of damage. However, watch out for decks with Alternative win cons such as combo (Death Anchor), Being degenerate and inbalanced (gyze), or aiming for your not so large hand (MachiningZoa)

Also, while you are able to heal a lot, be careful as just one or two heals may seem impactful, but you are often spending hand to do so, so some decks such as Luard may be able to break through and deal more damage than you are healing. Its up to the player to handle the game and control the damage dealt to the opponent in order to avoid this losing situation.

While a solid and powerful deck, due to NoLifeKing Death Anchor and Oracle Gyze's position in the meta, Metatron-Gyze is looking to enter the meta at around B/B- rank, alongside other meta staples such as Machining-Zoa, Ripples, etc, but time and development will tell how it will end up, especially with Luard with their Phantom Blaster Diablo to try to kill the Gyze deck running around at meta top.

Thats all for today.
