Platinum Whales

Post by Syrius »

This is a follow-up attempt, after playing Star Platinum for a bit and having a short conversation with Mika.
Space feels too damn small, since the Orca group is so space hungry and there were a bunch of other stuff I wanted to do/preserve. I'm worried about the amount of early game creatures, as I feel this kind of deck requires an "excessive" amount; mainly for that reason, I wish Flo could've fit in. Tidal Surge should be very powerful with the Whales, but I unfortunately had to cut it back to 2 because of space issues. Velaren took the place of Jet Paradox to make use of Jumpstart and Kafan and because he is more flexible in role. The Lightning side of things definitely needs more work when it comes to the creatures especially.


Creatures (19 Water, 7 Lightning, 26 Total):
2 x Shinanigan --- [cost 3 Lightning]

Fibrille is a potentially nice addition. It is unfortunate that the deck may never be able to do Fibrille chains. I believe there is also another possible take on the deck, with an accent on Sparkballs. Fibrille for speed, Teiton for multi-attack and progression, Shinanigan for moving past or threat removal and of course, Voltaire himself.
