1. Deck concept
This is a mid-range deck with a focus on [Union-Absorb], [Evolve], and [Spirit Boost]. Many cards reference the number of cards beneath Super 17, giving this deck a unique playstyle. Using [Evolve] and other mechanics to send more cards under Super 17 is the key to victory.
2. Deck overview
a. Deck goals
After continuously using [Evolve], Super 17 arrives at the height of his powers. This Super 17 switches himself and your Leader Card to Active Mode, and also powers up based on the total energy costs of the cards placed under it. Even better, the Super 17 Leader can place cards under your <Super 17> cards, giving you a leg up as you prepare to [Evolve].
b. Early game
Use the [Union-Absorb] skills on {BT14-107 Android 17, Conceding to Union} and {BT14-110 Hell Fighter 17, Conceding to Union} to play {BT14-114 Super 17, Prepping for Union}. {BT14-114 Super 17, Prepping for Union}’s activate skill helps get you the cards you need for [Union-Absorb] while searching out finishers. If your starting hand doesn’t have the three cards listed above, try to mulligan for them.
c. Mid game
Starting on turn 2, play {BT14-094 Android 20 & Dr. Myuu, Hellish Accomplices} and awaken your Leader. {BT14-094 Android 20 & Dr. Myuu, Hellish Accomplices} is a powerful Union Card with a draw-and-discard skill, and it also gains a marker every time you activate an [Evolve] or [Union] skill—something this deck has no trouble pulling off. Once you have markers built up, use [Spirit Boost] for a big payoff.
If you have {BT14-114 Super 17, Prepping for Union} in play, try getting {BT14-113 Super 17, Hellish Amalgamation} on the board with [Evolve]. This is a fantastic counter to removal-heavy green decks—it can absorb an opponent’s Battle Card on play, and if your opponent tries to KO it with a skill, it replaces itself with a 3-cost <Super 17> card like {BT14-114 Super 17, Prepping for Union}. Once you get this card in play, it’s a straight shot to your finisher: {BT13-112 Super 17, Powers Combined}. Keeping multiple copies of {BT14-113 Super 17, Hellish Amalgamation} in your starting hand should leave you feeling very comfortable against removal-heavy decks.
d. Defensive Cards
{BT14-116 Opening the Gates of Hell} is a new yellow counter card that can seriously shut down your opponent’s attempts to get pressure going. It’s easy to keep your markers topped off on {BT14-094 Android 20 & Dr. Myuu, Hellish Accomplices}, trivializing this card’s [Spirit Boost 1] requirement.
3. Synergistic picks
・BT10-095 SS Gogeta, Dynamic Unison
This deck has more than a few cards with [Spirit Boost], making 2-cost Unisons that can build markers easily essential. {BT10-095 SS Gogeta, Dynamic Unison} gains a marker every time your opponent uses an Extra Card, and can also power up your Leader. If you want to use more Unison Cards in your deck, this is a great choice to start with.
・P-327 Super 17, Relentless Absorption and BT9-117 Super 17, Hell's Storm Unleashed
{P-327 Super 17, Relentless Absorption} is a card from Tournament Pack 5 that can absorb Cell cards to play a Super 17 card. {BT9-117 Super 17, Hell's Storm Unleashed} in particular is a fearsome choice that sets your opponent to 4 life, making it a great counterpick against control decks that prefer to maintain a steady life total.
4. In Closing
Well, what did you think?
There are plenty of other cards that can slot right into the Super 17 deck, so check out the card list and get brewing!
The next column is planned for July 30th. See you then!
