Play Guide:

This deck, a 'Strange' combination, is built to combine the heavy striking abilities of Lightning with the setback and exhaustion of Ice. As such, it builds power and numbers while usually only 'pinging' at the opponent's Grid, striking very slowly and carefully, and limiting the opponent moreso by reducing their options than their momentum directly. It can strike at open points to gain advantage quickly also, but requires careful consideration of opponent's capability when doing so, since it is not equipped with ways to recover from surprises. With the heavy built-in control against such surprises, though, this is not much of a problem and the opponent can be handled easily if the player's flow is not disrupted, with a little patience and calculation. The deck is therefore suited for players who like this strategic manipulation and lots of pre-emptive calculation, as well as those who prefer to stall until they clearly have the upper hand before striking for the finish.

After using this form of the deck for a while, players may wish to try the more 'aggressive' form using Prism Wall instead of Jetshell Crab, or go for more defense by changing the Steadfast Aviators to Gacklin Bennu. For those who want to go all out on the calculation and negation abilities, Rai Jin Hamar can be changed to Magical Phalanx Dissidia, and even Arrhythmia can perhaps become Psychic Incite.
