We have not featured a Strike Ninja deck in our deck techs since Graceless' GFC 17 list. NovaEthos has brought their own innovations to the dark ninja strategy, though, and it seems to be paying off! DecklistOverview
Player InsightNovaEthos is committed to rogue strategies, finding joy in crafting unconventional builds that keep opponents on their toes. IT seems that this specific version of the deck came from the revisit of a previous build which played Dimension Fusion. It was apparently also inspired by Earth Aggro decks, as they explain in the following. I’m always dedicated to playing rogue strategies - it’s how I have the most fun playing Goat. I built a version of this with Dimension Fusion that JDZ and I talked about on the YouTube channel, but wanted to revisit it this season with Return from the Different Dimension (RFTDD) instead. Strike Ninja is one of my favorite cards in Goat, I like how its effect sort of reflects its card art - by being able to disappear and dodge the opponent’s threat. Despite playing such an unconventional deck, NovaEthos has started the event with a demanding 4-0 record, taking down powerful meta strategies like RGT and Warrior. I started 4-0, with wins against RGT, Warrior, Water Heavy Slump, and Blue Eyes. The deck is performing well, but I have also been pretty lucky with some hands (for example, I hit my opponent’s Pot with my Duo turn 1…can’t get luckier than that). The event fatigue set in and I made some misplays in rounds 5 and 6 that cost me those matches. I want to shout out Deck Devastation Virus in the side - I was able to resolve it every time I saw it, and it really helped me make some good reads and go for Return pushes. Having info on your opponent’s cards is really essential in this deck to be able to time your pushes correctly, and Dustshoot + DDV really helped with that.
