Lightning Starter Deck

Indra pays 1 IKZ once per turn to inspect the top card of your deck and either leave it on top or send it to your discard pile. Temple Apprentice, Nicky, Master Kuroda (putting a 1-cost weapon from hand or discard on top), Novice Anji, Senior Disciple, Enshu and The Wooden Fish set up your top card before you tap Skyreach Gate.

When Skyreach Gate portals an entity from your Alley, you may reveal your top card and play it free if it is any weapon costing at most that entity’s Gate Power. Playing a Flashdraw weapon from your deck triggers Overcharge Shiv (+2 attack instead of +1) and Seeker of Passage, Yuntaro (+2 attack, once a turn), while discarded weapons later fuel Staff of Heavenly Thunder up to +4 attack.

From AZK-02 boosters, Yoru no Tsukai arranges your top five cards, Arashi no Ina inspects your top three cards and either reorders all three on top or sends all three to your discard pile, Lightning Chakram draws a card when Skyreach Gate flips it, and Warden of Passage, Yunma deals up to 2 damage to an opposing Garden entity, once a turn, when you play a Flashdraw weapon from your deck. Kenta of Many Swords brings Gate Power 4, enough for Skyreach Gate to play Empowered Ikazuchi (+6 attack, reduced from cost 6 to 4 in deck) for 0 IKZ.
