How to Play[]
Play a D2 Field during the early turns while playing various Walsura or water creatures.
- Wait until you have 5 mana while saving specific cards in your hand.
- At 5 mana, expland Walsura Institute, Malicious of D.
- At 6 mana, summon Walsura Prince S
- At 7 mana, summon Alice, Chaos Witch. Draw a card by the Walsura Institute, then draw 3 cards with Alice's effect. Put 2 cards from your hand on the top of your deck, then destroy her with prince. As you re-arranged the top card of your deck from your hand, you can guarantee that a creature is put into the battle zone. With the leftover 3 mana, you can summon Metal Walsura S and trigger the Princes ability again, but choosing to draw the c ard by Walsura Institute afterwards a creature is still confirmed.
- With Walsura S, you can get a chance to trigger the cost trample for free. Because Gravity Zero is considered to be a summon, you can help advance the Dragsolution ability of Evidence, Truth Gun.
- While it might seem to be overkill, Evidegoras, Dragon Sonic Aircraft Carrier could also be used and aimed towards flipping to its Q.E.D side if enough cards are drawn.
- If 7 or more water creatures are managed, Gyuujinmaru, Legendary Identity could be used as a finisher.
Advantages[]
The deck type offers the advantage of aiming to quickly swarm the battle zone with creatures. Unlike Vanilla beatdown that also aims to do this, Walsura cards feature additional abilities such as being unchooseable, unattackable or unblockable, providing some resistance to your opponents cards.
Many of the low cost creatures can be turned into more powerful and higher cost creatures such as Gyuujinmaru, Legendary Identity or Completely Unidentified with the use of Walsura Prince.
Weaknesses[]
However, due to the combo pieces and set up required, the combo involved to put those finisher creatures into play can take time to prepare.
This leaves the deck type vulnerable to rush deck types such as Redzone. While the Water Civilization has many good spells with "Shield Trigger", due to the cost trampling ability of the Prince, most cards in the deck should be creatures. This requires you to use cards such as Aqua Surfer or Trigaroid, Aqua Spy as defensive options. However, Aqua Surfer can also prove detrimental as it allows your opponent to re-=use their Invasion and Come Into Play abilities.
Even if you manage to fill the battle zone with creatures, a Dokindam X, The Legendary Forbidden that has been released will seal each of your creatures, leaving them to be ignored and useless.
Trivia[]
- The Walsura creatures are themed as a fantasy design reminiscent of "Slimes" creatures from Dragon Quest . The S initial used for these creatures possibly stands for Slime (or possibly Science).
- This decktype was used by Ijiwaru Nokiyomori in the Duel Masters Versus Revolution Final series of the Duel Masters anime.
