Raizan Riftwalk Blades
PrereleaseLoad weapons onto Raizan every turn and hunt untapped guys with Arashi Tanto.
Raizan Riftwalk Blades
In this Raizan list, MY LEADER is the main attacker. Leaders never have summoning cooldown, so Tenshin, Arashi Tanto and Ikazuchi swing every single turn. Best part: Arashi Tanto lets Raizan attack UNTAPPED Garden entities and pings their leader for 1 when it kills one! Let her cook.
Deck
Game plan
Early turns
Black Jade Recruit grabs a blade while Rei and Silver Current, Haruhi contest the board. I put my first weapon right on Raizan and start swinging on turn 2.
Middle turns
Arashi Tanto on Raizan snipes untapped engines like Ritualist and pings their leader for 1. Surge Gate replays a 1-cost dagger onto Black Jade Crewleader, and Raizan pays 1 IKZ to give it Charge.
Closing
Ikazuchi and Empowered Ikazuchi wipe 1-health blockers every time Raizan swings, while Mo, Stormcaller Tenkichi and Lightning Orb finish.
Mulligan
I keep Black Jade Recruit or Rei with a 1- or 2-cost weapon. Throw back weaponless hands with nothing under 3.
Key cards
On my Leader, lets Raizan attack untapped Garden entities AND deals 1 to their leader when she kills one.
Deals 1 to every entity in their Garden when equipped to Raizan, and goes to +5 if the 6-cost Raizan entity is out.
+2 attack plus 1 leader damage on play — 3 damage on turn 2.
Gets +1 extra attack whenever equipped, and Surge Gate + Raizan's ability makes it swing with Charge.
1 IKZ Response ping to finish off a hurt blocker or snipe the last point of life.
Tips
- Weapons go to the discard pile at end of turn, so only equip what is attacking right now and recycle 1-cost daggers with Surge Gate.
- Hold Stormglass Daggers for opponents hiding engines in their Alley so Raizan can reach right over and smack them.
- Remember Raizan takes counter-damage when hitting entities! Go face when their board is mid and save Arashi Tanto for real threats.
