10-28 Idolmaster 3-1 Locals Run
Added 2024-10-29 09:48:20 +0000 UTCToday, we are showcasing a non-Kuon deck with the cute variant of Idolmaster.
So I think this deck has a set of very polarising matchups - when it's good, it's good, but when it's terrible the games feel sort of unwinnable. Ultimately, I think it's an excellent deck to have in your wheelhouse, as it can occasionally be one of the best decks into certain metagames.
I go through each of the games, reviewing a couple of the lines and sharing my thought process.
I've been thinking about how to optimise the build, but I think the one thing this deck truly lacks is a "real win condition." Kirari is pretty good at closing games where you are really far ahead, but it's a little awkward because you can't reasonably run more than 1 copy of her due to being a 9-cost passion follower and vs some matchups, you simply cannot stick a board long enough for it to matter.
So I can probably improve a bunch of matchups like 10-15% in either direction, but I cannot see a way for it to beat its truly hard counter matchups, which is unfortunate.
