Hola me gustas, its me its your best friend, its canyousayg, and today, we will be talking about more Premium Standard!

We have been going over new concepts with cards coming out of VEB03 Ultra Rare Miracle Collection, and today we will be featuring these guys.

PLANTS.

The deck I will be introducing today is a beatdown style deck, focused on deploying field, delivering consistent high powered attacks, and wearing the opponent down by having difficult attacks to guard.

Plant tokens are very easy to create in NeoNectar with their new support, and with cards such as Pansy Musketeer Sylvia and Dandelion Muskteer Mirkka creating them from the early game as both boosters and attackers, and Maiden of Trailing Rose creating many by just riding or calling her.

Muskteers, until now, have always thrived on being the deck that can easily bring out the rear guards they need, and flood the field early, retiring their own musketeers to bring out the ones they need at the moment.

You may wonder what synergy these two have in common, as at first glance plant tokens will only get in the way of the deck, taking up slots on the field for weak boosts that cant be retired by musketeer effects, with no card to retire your plants for profit.

But there is a card that can retire them to replace them with higher quality units:



Maiden Lily Musketeer Captain, Virginal Cecilia

Lets have a close look at her ability.

[ACT](VC)[1/Turn]:[Counter Blast (1) & Choose a face down card from your G zone with the same card name as this unit, and turn it face up] Choose up to five of your rear-guards, and retire them. Look at seven cards from the top of your deck, call up to the same number of cards with "Musketeer" in their card name from among them to separate (RC) as the number of retired units, and they get [Power]+3000 until end of turn for each face up card with "Musketeer" in its card name in your G zone. Shuffle your deck.

At first glance, this is a typical musketeer effect: Thin deck, call many units, give them power, usable only in a musketeer deck.

But, look closely at the effect and cost. Virginal Cecilia does not require any Musketeer Hearts to activate, nor does she require you to retire Musketeer rear guards; only that the units that come out are Musketeers.

Thats right, that means that even if you ride Trailing Rose or another unit, you can still use Cecilia to retire plant tokens, and then superior call out other units, making your formerly weak plants into G2 attackers and powerful boosters.

Imagine starting the game and calling multiple tokens and hitting the opponent from the early game. Then, one you hit stride, you retire all of your tokens, call out extra Musketeer Sylvia, Musketeer Mirkka, and Musketeer Rebeccas all with extra power, and create even more tokens to retire!

Also, remember that Prunus Serrulata Musketeer, Tessa will provide power boosts to all the units that come out with or after her, especially after calling with Musketeer Virginal Cecilia's effect, which opens a G-Zone musketeer to access Tessa's +4k skill. Thats +4k to every unit that is called.

Keep in mind that NeoNectar is a Force clan, which means those columns that hit hard are already hitting harder!

Force is very stable and consistent in Standard, but in Premium, to take full advantage of Force, you have to be able to multiple attack by either restanding or calling another unit into the same circle during battle phase, getting multiple uses out of a single force.

NeoNectar traditionally has had very few multiple attack options in their card pool, but Musketeer actually do have access to multiple attack.

Calluna Musketeer, Elma.

Calluna Musketeer Elma is a G0 Musketeer that has an effect when your Vanguard attacks. By paying CB1 and putting herself to the bottom of the deck, you can superior call a musketeer from one of the top 4 cards of your deck, and give it +4k power.

While not a lot on her own, when combined with cards such as Tessa, the total power is 8k increase.

When combined with force, the numbers hit upwards of 18k boost.

What about it if you superior called a Pansy Musketeer Sylvia, creating a plant behind herself for extra boost?

Thats a total of 33k power on an extra attack!

The game plan is straightforwards:

1) Attack early with the assistance of plant tokens to get a full field easily.

2) Ride to G3, get FORCE and put it to RG to drive more damge.

3) When you stride, stride to Virginal Cecilia and use her effect to retire your plant tokens and call out new units, including Sylvia/Mirkka to create more plants, Tessa and Rebecca to give them power, and Elma to do multiple attacks.

4) Use consistent, high powered attacks to drive the opponent to high damage and overwhelm them because they are unable to guard!

You may ask why I am not playing Musketeer triggers in the deck, but its rather simple: You dont want to be calling triggers via effect, you want to be thinning your deck of normal units.

Because you are no longer playing the old musketeer sylvia, which required you to play an all-musketeer deck with no non musketeer cards, you can actually get away with playing less musketeer triggers and instead play higher powered triggers. Even if you see them with Cecilia G3 or Virginal Cecilia, its often youll just leave them in the deck, even if it means not calling as many units (because you can fill up your field with plant tokens anyways)

Thats all for today, do check back as I will be uploading new deckbuilds and concepts for each clan for Ultra Rare Miracle Collection within the week!
