Deck Spotlight: CCCCCCC Rush (Seven Seas Rush)

Get it? Seven Cs? Seven Seas? I'm so funny. So good at jokes...

No one's laughing? Nobody? Ok then...

Seven Seas Rush is starting to get a good amount of popularity and for good reason. First of all, it's a Grade 1 Rush deck and gets all the benefits that Grade 1 decks have, but compared to Liberator or Seeker Rush is much more potent.

There are many reasons for this:

1. It has a much stronger offensive, with availability to Slash Shade and Prisoner Dragon, as well as being able to call Grade 2s that can hit 11k Vanguards solo.
2. It has much better field scalability. Nightcrow, Slash Shade, and Prisoner Dragon can replace your weaker units that you call for early rush.
3. It has plussing methods, which Seeker and Lib Rush both lack. Nightrunner, Raistutor, and Cody all call free units from drop which, as explained in Point 2, can be replaced with better units from drop. If you only have one card in hand and enough Counterblast you can still call a full field of units.
4. Most important of all(sorta), Seven Seas Rush has the option to ride to Grade 3 with Plegeton. This is huge. Most Rush decks have to forsake the idea of a G-Zone and all the benefits that riding gives you, but not Seven Seas Rush. You keep your skewed rushing ratios while keeping your ability to ride to Grade 3, as well as stride.

Grade 1 Rush is THE most hated rush deck and I'm pretty sure it's what started the hate for rush decks. By being able to hit pretty high numbers with just Grade 1s, the board is all set up for victory. Against any Stride or Legion deck G1 Rush will dominate the matchup. The strength of the deck lies in that any opening hand and anything you draw can be called and contributed to the rush. And if you choose to play the Liberator variant, you could be defensive as hell too.

Although while they ARE annoying, Grade 1 Rush deck isn't nearly as potent as it used to be. The meta is just unfavorable for it at the moment.  But if GB and Legion-based decks start to become meta and more popular, Grade 1 Rush will become more successful.

Deck Spotlight: Gunmen and Cats (Cat Butler)

Cat Butler is so broke I don't even know.

Best Butler

Over in Japan, back in Legion era, Cat Butler was the most broken card in the game. The cheapest restand available at the time. Even with the G2 and lower restriction it's one godly card. Hell, he even got hit because of it in Japan format. A deck focused on abusing Cat Butler would work really, really well and be very, very potent.
