Piko Blade Armory

Chat, Open Armory is hilarious. I mill a ton of 1-cost weapons into my discard pile with Crate Rat Kurobo and Black Jade Pawnbroker, then Open Armory slaps THREE of them onto Black Jade Deathdealer at once. Add Piko of Thousand Blades for +3 more and one swing does half their life!

Open Armory

Deck

Game plan

  1. Early turns

    Play Crate Rat Kurobo on turn 1 before any weapon hits the pile so it mills 5 instead of 3. Black Jade Recruit and Pawnbroker keep digging up daggers.

  2. Middle turns

    Stick Black Jade Deathdealer or Black Jade Crewleader, then cast Open Armory to equip three 1-cost blades from the discard pile — Deathdealer turns into a monster.

  3. Closing

    Pay 3 IKZ with Piko of Thousand Blades for another +3 attack on that armed guy. Mastersmith Yamada swings for 4 once 6 weapons are in the pile, and Surge Gate replays a blade every turn.

Mulligan

I keep Crate Rat Kurobo or Black Jade Recruit with a 1-cost weapon and a 2- or 3-cost body. Send back all-weapon hands with zero bodies.

Key cards

  • Open Armory

    Equips up to 3 weapons with combined cost 3 or less straight from my discard pile. Let it cook.

    Gets +1/+1 while holding two or more weapons, making it my favorite Open Armory target.

  • Piko of Thousand Blades

    3 IKZ gives an equipped Garden entity +1 attack per weapon in my discard pile, up to +3.

  • Crate Rat Kurobo

    Mills 5 cards on turn 1 when my discard pile has no weapons yet.

  • Yamada, The Unresting

    0/3 Defender that pays 1 IKZ (even as a Response!) to equip a 1-cost weapon from the pile onto itself.
