R-ACE
The R-ACE engine’s path to reach Ricciardetto is as follows:
- Normal summon Rescue-ACE Air Lifter, add EMERGENCY!
- Activate EMERGENCY! to special summon Rescue-ACE Hydrant, tributing Rescue-ACE Air Lifter.
- Rescue-ACE Hydrant’s effect adds Rescue-ACE Turbulence.
Special Summon Rescue-ACE Turbulence and use its effect to set ALERT!, RESCUE!, EXTINGUISH!, and CONTAIN!- With the effect of Rescue-ACE Hydrant, activate a Quick-Play Spell or Trap Card Set by the effect of your “Rescue-ACE” card.
- Activate ALERT! to add a copy of Rescue-ACE Preventer.
- Special summon Rescue-ACE Preventer by banishing ALERT!
- Special summon S:P Little Knight using Rescue-ACE Hydrant and Rescue-ACE Preventer (5th Summon).
- Trigger the effect of Rescue-ACE Preventer to special summon Rescue-ACE Air Lifter from your banish pile.
- Summon Isolde, Two Tales of the Noble Knights using S:P Little Knight and Rescue-ACE Air Lifter as material. Trigger Isolde’s effect to add a copy of Rescue-ACE Impulse from your deck to your hand.
- Next, use Isolde’s effect, sending a copy of “Infernoble Arms – Durendal” to special summon Infernoble Knight Ricciardetto.
- Use Ricciardetto’s effect to summon Rescue-ACE Air Lifter from your GY.
- Utilize Infernoble Knight Ricciardetto and Rescue-ACE Turbulence to summon Baronne de Fleur. Summon Isolde, Two Tales of the Noble Knights, and Rescue-ACE Air Lifter to summon a second copy of S:P Little Knight. Trigger its effect on summon to banish Rescue-ACE Air Lifter in the GY.
End Board:
Monsters: S:P Little Knight/Baronne de Fleur
S/T: RESCUE!/EXTINGUISH!/CONTAIN!
Hand: Rescue-ACE Impulse + the rest of your hand.Note: Summoning S:P Little Knight as the 5th summon checks Nibiru because, regardless, you can instantly summon Isolde to add Impulse as a follow-up in case your opponent has it.
The deck appears to have found a semblance of stability in the TCG by maximizing its starters and minimizing the number of Rescue-ACE Impulse. The inclusion of Book of Eclipse and Super Polymerization suggests a metagame-oriented choice tailored specifically for countering Purrely, Unchained, R-ACE, and Mannadium, a strategic decision to be contextualized within the scope of that particular event.
Unchained
Mannadium
Just like R-ACE and Unchained, Mannadium seems to have found its own standard version. However, unlike others, instead of playing board breakers like Enemy Controller, Triple Tactics Talent, Forbidden Droplet, and Realm Eulogy, it adapts to a diverse meta by adding hand traps, which, while not optimal, have become a necessity.
In the side deck, we can note a neat tech choice, “Gravity Collapse,” which allows for denying the opponent’s monster from being Summoned by sending a Synchro monster you control to the graveyard. Once resolved, this card prevents the opponent from performing additional Summons. In this prevalent Synchro-focused version, it proves to be a spicy and interesting addition!
