DISCLAIMER: THIS ARTICLE CONTAINTS TIME SENSITIVE MATERIAL, AS IN, I TALK AND BITCH ABOUT THE PRICE OF CARDS. IF THE PRICES WHEN YOU READ THIS DONT MATCH UP TO THEIR ACTUAL PRICES ANYMORE, THEN LOOK AT THE POST DATE JACKASS.

EYO WHATS GOOD FAM. ITS YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD BUTTS AND COCONUTS HERE TO KICKASS AND TAKE NAMES AND MAKE VERY VERY INFREQUENT ARTICLES. (THOUGH FOR THE AVID FOLLOWERS OF MY BLOG WHO MAY HAVE MISSED IT, I WAS FEATURED ON RIVAL BLOG TOPTIERTEARS, UNDER THE FARCE OF AN APRIL FOOLS ALLIANCE. GOT EEEEEM). NOW IM SURE MANY OF YOU HAVE BEEN WONDERING, “YO COCOBUTTS, WHERES THE CONTENT AT, BRO????”

WELL…

I MEAN…

HERES SOME CONTENT, SO SHUT THE FUCK UP.

THESE ARTICLES ARE A WORK OF PASSION, I MUST FEEL A FIRE IN MY SOUL. BE IT FORMED OF HATRED OR LOVE DOES NOT MATTER, I JUST NEED TO FEEL IT. I NEED TO REALLY FEEL IT, I NEED TO FEEL THAT FEELING THAT I FEEL DEEPLY. OTHERWISEI DONT THINK THE CONTENT IS UP TO SNUFF CAUSE I JUST DONT GIVE A SHIT AND ITS JUST ME CUSSING AT A WALL, INSTEAD OF CUSSING AT A WALL IN THE NAME OF SCIENCE NAD KNOWLEDGE.

THE POINT IS, I FINALLY FOUND SOME NEW DECKS TO WORK WITH, SOMETHING NEW AND FRESH THAT I HADNT ALREADY COVERED AND THAT I FEEL WAS WORTH COVERING. WITH THE ADVENT OF CINDERELLA GIRLS 2ND SEASON RELEASING, I HAVE TO SAY, IM PRETTY FUCKING SURPRISED THAT ME OF ALL PEOPLE ON INTO IT. I USED TO LOVE TO UNENDINGLY PAN THE FIRST SET FOR ITS INFINITE MEDIOCRITY OUTSIDE OF A FEW CARDS, BUT THE NEW SET REALLY BREATHES LIFE INTO THE SET WITH A HOST OF FUN, UNIQUE CARDS, ALLOWING IT TO REALLY DIVERSIFY ITSELF AMONG THE OTHER IDOL SETS THAT ALL SIT AROUND IN THE SAME TIER OF MID-HIGH MEDIOCRITY. YOU MAY BE RUSHING OVER TO THE YUYU-TEIS RIGHT NOW TO TAKE A PEEK AND WHAT THE HOT CARDS ARE. IN FACT, WHY MAKE YOU GO OVER THERE LETS TAKE SCREEN CAPS TO PAD THE ARTICLE.

THESE ARE THE MARQUEE LEVEL 3 RR+S THE SET HAS THE OFFER, AND GOD DAMN HOLY PRICE DIFFERENCES BATMAN. YOU CAN BUY LIKE 5 AND A HALF MIOS FOR THE PRICE OF ONE RIN LOL. ACTUALLY, BLUE AS A WHOLE HAS BEEN FUCKING EXPENSIVE FOR THIS SET. BUT FEAR NOT, I KNOW YOU KIDS ALL CANT LIVE THE BALLER AF LIFESTYLE, CAUSE AT THE END OF THE DAY, ALL N-WORDS GOTTA KEEP IT REAL IN THE HOOD AND STILL MANAGE TO BUY THEM NUGGETS. THATS WHY TODAY, I WANNA DELVE INTO A DECK THAT I WOULD THINK OF AS A (RELATIVELY) CHEAP DECK, BUT STILL IS PRETTY EFFECTIVE AND RELEVANT.

SO WITHOUT FURTHER ADIEU, LETS GO DOWN INTO THE RABBIT HOLE THAT IS MONO-YELLOW ASCHENPUTTEL GIRLS

RANDOM DISCLAIMERS: BUDGET IS A PRETTY RELATIVE TERM, AND I HOPE YOU CUCKS GET THAT. WHEN I SAY THIS DECK IS BUDGET, ITS NOT UNDER $50 OR EVEN $100 DOLLARS, BUT I THINK THE PRICE POINT IS PRETTY GOOD CAUSE I THINK A FEW OF THE CARDS I WILL BE HIGHLIGHTING ARE HORRIDLY UNDERPRICED. THE DECK ITSELF AT THE TIME OF WRITING THIS ARTICLE IS PROBABLY ABOUT 2000 OR 3000 YEN MORE THAN A PLAYSET OF TRANCING PULSE RINS (AKA THE 3480 MONSTER UP THERE) AND I THINK THATS A PRETTY RELEVANT THING TO KEEP IN MIND. THIS DECK IS A REASONABLY PRICED ALTERNATIVE FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT TO GET INTO CINDERELLA GIRLS WITHOUT DESTROYING THEIR BANK ACCOUNT, BUT EVEN WITH THAT, I STILL THINK ITS A PRETTY COMPETENT DECK.

CHAPTER 1: CINDERELLA DRESSED IN YELLOW

THERE IS A BIT OF AN ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM I THINK WITH THIS DECK, SO I KINDA WANNA GET IT OUT OF THE WAY.

MIRIA IS A QT WITH 1 RELEVANT ABILITY, ONE INCIDENTAL ONE, AND ONE HIDDEN ONE. IM PRETTY BURNED OUT ON TALKING ABOUT RIKI CARDS THAT DO OTHER THINGS, BUT WHATEVER. SHE IS EASY FREE ADVANTAGE AND EASY FREE CONSISTENCY, WHICH IS AMAZING AND IF YOUR SET HAS AN ABILITY LIKE THIS THEN GO BANANAS, M8. SHE CAN ASSIGN 500 POWER TO SOMETHING WHEN SHE ATTACKS, WHICH IS HONESTLY VERY RARELY RELEVANT, BUT WHATEVER. HER 3RD ABILITY IS AFTER YOU PLAY HER, YOU KINDA HAVE TO GO TO PRISON. THIS IS MERELY A SETBACK, BUT FEAR NOT, FOR I THINK THE ADVANTAGE AND CONSISTENCY GAINED IS WORTH IT. NOW, GREATNESS HAS A PRICE, BUT IF MY FRIEND BOB HAS ANY INPUT ON THAT, ONE SHOULD ACHIEVE GREATNESS AT ANY COST. AT THE TIME OF WRITING THIS, MIRIAS COST 1980 YEN EACH ON YUYU-TEI. OUCH, I KNOW, BUT FEAR NOT, FOR THIS IS AN INVESTMENT. MIRIA IS A STRONG CARD THAT PROBABLY WONT BE SHIFTING TOO MUCH IN PRICE ANY TIME SOON (UNLESS PEOPLE ARE LITERALLY RETARDED), AND SHE IS ALSO AN INCREDIBLY RELEVANT CARD IN A NUMBER OF CG DECKS. I WOULD HONESTLY NOT SUGGEST REPLACING THIS, BECAUSE SHE IS JUST THAT GOOD, BUT IF YOU ARE THAT POOR THEN I DONT BLAME YOU. LUCKILY, THE PLAYSET OF MIRIA WILL RUN YOU A BIT UNDER HALF THE DECK’S TOTAL COST, SO I MEAN, AT LEAST NOTHING ELSE YOU RUN IS CLOSE TO HER PRICE. IN FACT, SHE IS THE ONLY CARD IN MY BUILD THAT IS GREATER THAN 580 YEN. MMMM, BUDGET.

RIKA IS ANOTHER CARD THAT MIGHT GET YOU LANDED IN PRISON, BUT ITS OK BECAUSE THIS CARD IS PRETTY WORTH IT. RUNNERS INCREMENTALLY GIVE YOU ADVANTAGE, BY MAKING SURE YOUR DUDES DONT DIE. MILL RUNNERS LIKE RIKA ALSO PROVIDE VERY MINOR COMPRESSION AT TIMES, AND ARE JUST ALL AROUND GOOD CARDS TO HAVE AROUND. EVEN THOUGH WHIFFING SUCKS WITH THIS PROFILE OF RUNNER, CAUSE USUALLY IT HAPPENS AT THE SHITTIEST TIMES POSSIBLE, BUT WHATEVER, SHES STILL YOUR HOMIE, SHES JUST TRYIN HER BEST FOR YOU, NOTHING PERSONAL.

SPEAKING ABOUT RUNNERS, THIS MIO RUNS THEM DOWN WITH HER HONDA CIVIC. AYY, WORDPLAY. NOW THINK ABOUT ALL THE COOL STUFF I SAID ABOUT RUNNERS, FEELS GOOD RIGHT? NOW THINK ABOUT YOUR OPPONENT HAVING A RUNNER? WELL, THATS WHAT MIO IS HERE FOR. STOCK REVERSERS ARE NICE FOR THEIR ABILITY TO STUFF CERTAIN ABILITIES, SUCH AS ON REVERSE OR ON DEATH ONES, BUT THIS MIO ALSO HAS THE BENEFIT OF BEING ABLE TO STOP YOUR OPPONENTS RUNNERS IN THEIR TRACKS, AS YOU DECLARE, “NO, ONLY ME RUN GOOD.” OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

THIS MIO IS ACTUALLY JUST PRETTY SWEET VALUE. AS AN OLD SCHOOL PLAYER, THIS IS VERY REMINISCENT OF THE TRUSTY OLD CARD, SAYAKA LOOKS UP TO MAMI’S MAMMYS. ITS ALSO KINDA LIKE A CARD CG ALREADY HAS, WHICH IS THE RIN WHICH IS WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF SAYAMAMI WERE A PREMATURE BIRTH. THIS MIO SADLY LACKS THE SCRY ABILITY FROM EITHER, BUT THE SCRY ON DEATH FOR RIN IS PRETTY NEGLIGIBLE IMO, (THOUGH THE SCRY ON PLAY FOR SAYAMAMI IS WHY ITS SUCH A FUCKED BONKERS CARD). EITHER WAY, ITS A NICE HAND FILTER UTILITY, AND IS A LEVEL 0 YOU DONT HAVE TO FEEL THAT BAD ABOUT WHEN PLAYING IT LATE GAME.

AIKO IS YOUR TYPICAL GENERIC PLUSSING BRAINSTORM WITH ANOTHER ABILITY. SHE IS ALSO ONE OF THE REASONS YOURE LOCKED INTO PLAYING MONO-YELLOW PRETTY MUCH, BUT THATS FINE HONESTLY (ASIDE FROM ONE CHOICE IN THE DECK I DONT LIKE, BUT MORE ON THAT LATER). GLOBAL 500 IS A NICE ADDITION, THIS DECK CAN GET SUPER COLOSSAL ON YOUR OWN TURN AND SHE LIKES TO HELP FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT (THE FIGHT WHERE YOU REVERSE THEM EVERY TURN).

THIS IS YOUR BREAD AND BUTTER FOR THE EARLY GAME. MIKA BONDS INTO HER LITTLE SISTER RIKA, WHICH IS A 1/0 4500, THAT BECOMES 6500 WHEN SHE ATTACKS. MIKA ALSO GIVES THE RIKA IN QUESTION 1000 MORE POWER. SO ALREADY, ON YOUR TURN, YOU HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO BE SWINGING AT THEM FOR UPWARDS OF 7500. BUT WAIT, THERES MORE! RIKA HAS A CLIMAX COMBO TO PAY A STOCK WHEN SHE ATTACKS TO GAIN 2000 POWER AND SEARCH A MUSIC CHARACTER IF ALL OF YOUR CHARACTERS ARE YELLOW. AND SHE COMBOS WITH A STOCK OSUL. WOWIE ZOWIE. ITS LIKE THE OBSCENE POWER OF GIRLFRIEND BETA, WITH THE EASE OF SEARCHING OF ASUNA INVITES TO PARTY. COME TO THINK OF IT, RIKA IS JUST AN INVITES TO PARTY THAT IS 10K CONSISTENTLY FOR NO REASON. SWAGGIE.

BLAH BLAH ELI CLONE BLAH BLAH RUN 4 BLAH BLAH SHES CRYING ON THE FOIL VERSION, HMU IF YOURE SELLING THEM.

I LIKE SYOKO LIKE I LIKE MOST MEMES, SO IM PRETTY HAPPY TO BE PLAYING HER IN THIS DECK. BETWEEN YOUR BRAINSTORM AND PUNCHES, IT SHOULDNT BE TOO HARD TO BUMP HER UP TO 6500 BASE. WHEN I WAS PUTTING THE DECK TOGETHER, I REALLY DIDNT KNOW WHAT TO PUT IN THIS SLOT BECAUSE I JUST WANTED MORE LEVEL 1S, AND I THINK SHE WORKS OUT WELL ENOUGH.

HERE WE SEE THE ODDITITY OF HAPPY HAPPY KIRARI LOOKING SAD SAD. THIS WAS ANOTHER CARD SLOT WHERE I REALLY DIDNT KNOW WHAT I WAS DOING AND WAS JUST THROWING SHIT AT A WALL, BUT I THINK IT WORKED OUT FINE. THERE IS LITERALLY NOTHING AMAZING TO SAY ABOUT IT, IT JUST FILLED ITS ROLL DECENTLY AS SOMETHING THAT STAYED AROUND AND COULD PAY OUT STOCK IF I REALLY NEEDED TO.

ONE OF TWO OFF-COLOR CARDS I CHOOSE TO RUN, THIS SAE IS ANOTHER BORING NON NOTABLE CARD (BUT IS SUPER MEME WORTHY GIVEN THAT DUMBASS KFC SHIT GOING AROUND LATELY). 2K COUNTERS DO WHAT THEY GOTTA DO. PLAYS WELL WITH THE DECK SINCE YOU HAVE A DECENT AMOUNT OF STUFF THAT SITS AROUND 6500 ON YOUR OPPONENTS TURN, AND YOU GET TO DO CUTE SHIT WITH THE PREVIOUSLY MENTION SYOKO. IF YOURE NOT FEELING SAE, THEN THAT SUCKS TO BE YOU, BUT THERES A MIRIA VANILLA PUNCH FROM THE YELLOW TRIAL DECK.

MOVING ON

MAYU IS DOWN TO CLOWN, AND YOU SHOULD BE TOO. THIS CARD IS BASICALLY THE SAME CARD AS THE NISEKOI ANTI-CHANGE. PRIMARILY USED AS A TECH SLOT TO STUFF ON REVERSE EFFECTS SUCH AS MOST RESTANDS AND CLOCK KICKS, SHE CAN ALSO JUST BE USED AS A GOOD OL’ ANTI-CHANGE TO KILL THEIR LEVEL 3S AT 2, AND MAYBE EVEN DENY THEM AN ATTACK IF THEIR BAD.

YELLOW LEVEL 3S WITH 8500 POWER AND A BUNCH OF OTHER TEXT TEND TO SCARE ME A LITTLE BIT, BUT THANKFULLY THIS ISNT ONE OF THOSE. NOT TO DOWNPLAY THIS MIRIA, CAUSE I STILL THINK SHES PRETTY FUCKING RAD. SHE HAS THE FAKEST EARLY PLAY CONDITION IVE EVER SEEN, AND SHE HEALS ON PLAY. I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS. (I MEAN I PLAY IT IN RIDER, BUT THAT MEDUSA IS SO UNEXCITING). THIS MIRIA DOES MORE THAN EARLY PLAY AND HEAL THOUGH, SHE ALSO DOES SOME SWEET SHENANIGANS. NOT AS SWEET AS HER PREDECESSORS OF COURSE, BUT STILL PRETTY FUCKING DANK. I STILL THINK THIS CARD WILL GIVE YOUR OPPONENT SOME TROUBLE, DESPITE BEING LIMITED BY WHERE SHE CAN GO. IF YOU HAVENT PLAYED A SET WITH A FIELDSWAP LIKE THIS, I URGE YOU, THEY’RE PRETTY FUN.

FINALLY, WE HAVE REACHED THE END OF OUR JOURNEY, THE CROWN JEWEL OF THE DECK. THE 580 YEN MONSTER OF A RR+, SEEMINGLY COMPLETELY PASSED BY IN FAVOR OF THE RIN AND UZUKI RR+ CARDS. THIS MIO’S PRICE TAG SAYS NOTHING OF HER POTENTIAL, THOUGH. FINISHERS THAT DIG FOR THEIR OWN CLIMAX HAVE ALWAYS BEEN NICE, ESPECIALLY THOSE UNFORTUNATE ENOUGH TO NOT HAVE A BAR TRIGGER FOR THEIR CLIMAX. WHEN MIO ATTACKS WITH THE WIND CLIMAX IN THE CLIMAX ZONE, SHE GAINS 2000 POWER, AND PAY 2 STOCK TO BURN 5 ON CANCEL. NOW, THATS PRETTY FUCKING AWESOME IF I HAD TO SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THIS CARD. IN CONTRAST TO ANOTHER POPULAR BURN 5, THE COST IS LESS (THOUGH, MIO NEEDS A CLIMAX COMBO), SHE BURNS IF SHE CANCELS, MEANING YOU JUST SPENT ONE OF THEIR CLIMAXES WHICH SHOULD IMPROVE YOUR CHANCE OF IT STICKING (KEYWORD: SHOULD) AND IF THEY DONT CANCEL, THEY PROBABLY JUST ATE 3 OR 4, WHICH IS COOL TOO. I THINK MIO HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BE A HOT CONTENDER, YOU THROW YOUR OPPONENT INTO A PRETTY FUCKING DANGEROUS MINEFIELD OF “TAKE 3 OR 5” AND WHILE THEY ARE TOTALLY CAPABLE OF CANCELING ALL THESE HITS, JUST ONE OR TWO HITTING IS POSSIBLY DEVASTATING ENOUGH TO END IT THERE. LIKE, SWEET HOLY MOLY I DID NOT BELIEVE IN THIS CARD UNTIL I ACTUALLY GOT TO TRY IT OUT.

COMBOING WITH A WIND IS ALSO NICE, CAUSE WIND TRIGGERS ARE PRETTY FUCKING DERPY AT TIMES.

CHAPTER 1.5: STUFF PROBABLY NOT WORTH RUNNING, BUT I THOUGHT ABOUT IT ANYWAYS

SO, OBVIOUSLY, WE’RE LIMITED TO WHAT WE CAN PLAY IN OUR DECK BY YELLOW CARDS DUE TO THE RIKA LEVEL 1 AND THE MIRIA LEVEL 3. ALSO, EACH NON-YELLOW CARD WE RUN MAKES OUR BRAINSTORM MARGINALLY WORSE, SO HERES LIKE SOME CARDS (I.E. NOT VERY MANY) I THOUGHT ABOUT RUNNING AT A POINT WHEN DRAFTING UP THE DECK.

WHILE I AM AN IRONICALLY UNIRONIC FAN OF THE MEME GIANTESS, I COULDNT BRING MYSELF TO PLAY HER TO STEP ON MY OPPONENTS. DESPITE BEING VERY CLOSE TO YAMATO KAI, A CARD IVE ALWAYS WANTED TO FUCK AROUND WITH FROM KANTAI COLLECTION, KIRARI JUST DOESNT REALLY MAKE THE CUT. SIMULATING YOUR OWN ARLE OR YAMI ASSAULT FOR 12 STOCK SOUNDS FUN, BUT IS JUST WAY TOO MANY RESOURCES FOR THIS DECK TO HANDLE. ESPECIALLY NOW THAT THE MIO IS OUT, I JUST DONT THINK THIS CARD HAS A PLACE ANYMORE OUTSIDE OF A THEME OR WAIFU DECK.

YUKI IS KBYD, MEANING THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE OF ME TRYING TO FORCE HER INTO THIS DECK, AND I ALMOST PLAYED THIS CARD. ALMOST. BASICALLY SYOKO MADE THE CUT OVER THIS CARD BECAUSE SYOKO DOESNT RANDOMLY KILL HERSELF, BUT IF YOU DONT LIKE MUSHROOMS, OR YOU DONT FIND YOURSELF USING ABILITIES ENOUGH TO SATE SYOKO’S SHROOM-LUST, THEN GO NUTS AND TRY OUT THIS YUKI, JUST DONT BE MAD WHEN SHE ALOHA SNACKBARS HERSELF.

HERES THE LAST PAIR OF CARDS I THOUGHT ABOUT RUNNING, BUT ULTIMATELY DIDNT. THIS IS A BOND ENGINE THAT I WAS KINDA OF CURIOUS ABOUT WHEN THE FIRST SET CAME OUT, BUT ULTIMATELY PLAYS VERY MESSILY WITH THE NEW LEVEL ONE CLIMAX COMBO, EVEN TRYING TO USE THE BONDER AS AN ASSIST DOESNT WORK WELL I FEEL, SINCE THE MIKA BONDER IS GOING TO BE ON STAGE MOST OF THE TIME ANYWAYS. PROBABLY WORTH A LOOK IN A FAN OF THEME DECK, BUT DEFINITELY NOT THIS ONE. SHAME TOO, BECAUSE I THINK THE MIKA IS PRETTY FINE LOOKIN.

CHAPTER 2: GLASS SLIPPERS AND GLASS CEILINGS

SO WITH A BRIEF-ISH LOOK AT THE DECK, WHAT DOES THE WHOLE PACKAGE LOOK LIKE? ITS TIME FOR MY LEAST FAVORITE PART, THE SPOONFEEDING OF DECKLISTS. UNLIKE USUAL, I WILL ALSO LEAVE THE PRICE OF INDIVIDUAL CARDS ALONGSIDE THE CARDS AND LEAVE A TOTAL DECK PRICE SO I CAN TOTALLY EAT MY WORDS AT THE END OF THIS SHITFEST.

THAT MORE OR LESS SUMS UP THIS SHITSTORM, WHO KNOWS WHEN I’LL BE BACK AGAIN, BUT I HOPE THAT SOMEONE TAKES SOMETHING DECENT AWAY FROM MY RAMBLINGS ON WHAT I FEEL IS A TRAGICALLY OVERLOOKED DECK.

STAY SALTY, LOSERS, ITS NEARLY 1AM ON A FRIDAY AND IM NOT EVEN CLOSE TO DRUNK.
