Game plan

1. Early turns

   I open with Recruit or Kurobo, then develop Rei, Off-Duty or Haruhi. I need attackers and discarded weapons. Recruit needs a weapon in hand to pay for its search.

2. Middle turns

   I portal an untapped Alley entity through Surge Gate and replay a weapon within its Gate Power limit. Raizan can pay 1 IKZ once per turn to give an equipped entity Charge. Crewleader gains +1 attack while equipped.

3. Closing

   I combine Phantom or Mo with weapon attacks. Stormglass on Raizan lets me attack their Alley instead. My single Ikazuchi hits every opposing Garden entity for 1 when Raizan attacks with it.

Mulligan

I keep Recruit, a 1-cost weapon and Haruhi; Kurobo also works. I send back hands packed with weapons and too few entities.

Key cards

• 

  Kurobo mills 3, or 5 if I have no weapon in my discard pile when its ability activates. I check the pile first.

• 

  Recruit can discard a weapon to search my top 5 for another. The discarded blade becomes a possible Surge Gate play.

• 

  Crewleader gets +1 attack while equipped, on top of the weapon's attack. I budget Raizan's extra 1 IKZ before expecting Charge.

• 

  Stormglass lets an equipped leader attack tapped or untapped opposing Alley entities. Putting it on an entity does not grant that access.

• 

  Phantom already has Charge and cannot be damaged or destroyed by card effects. I still respect combat damage and Defenders.

Tips

• Gate Power 1 replays a 1-cost dagger. Gate Power 2, such as Stalking Assassin's, reaches Tenshin or Stormglass. Phantom's 0 replays none of these weapons.
• Stormglass does not let Raizan attack untapped Garden entities. I check the target's zone before planning that swing.
• I have no healing here. Self-damage from Black Jade Dagger adds up, and large Taunt bodies or Root can stall my attacks.
