Why use this card?

To be honest, I would want to play 10-12 critical triggers and 0-2 draw triggers in this deck, but I find the need to play four of this card as you have 3 different cards that requires you to soulblast in order for their skill to activate, assuming you start riding from Grade 1 to Grade 3, you would only have two souls left which I don't find enough to fuel your cards. 

This card is an excellent card as it allows you to call out certain cards depending on the situation. If your hand is small, call swordbreaker. If you need a booster, call a Night Sky Eagle. If you need cards to sacrifice for "Diablo" ability, call out your starter.

A favorite card used in many Revenger, Phantom Blaster "Abyss" decks. This card can be superior called through many different cards in your deck and get to draw a card by simply soulblasting one card. The only thing I don't like is if this card is still on the field after you superior called this using Claret's skill, using this card to boost a Grade 2 9000 Power unit wouldn't hit 16000 which is a magic number.

Just a card to superior call Grade 1 cards depending on the situation ( Like Darkheart Trumpeter ).

My favorite card <3. I like this card's stride skill, which is superior call a Grade 1 Unit from your deck and give it 2000 Power, normally on my first stride ( which I would Stride Aurageyser Dragon ), I would call Swordbreaker to increase my hand size. If you strode "Diablo" and assuming you have sacrificed your starter for Aurageyser Dragon's skill, you can superior call Darkheart Trumpeter and use its skill to superior call your starter back, provided if you did not use this card's stride skill to call out swordbreaker in your first stride turn.

A great finisher that can make your attack unguardable, forcing your opponent to eat 2 Damage, but if your opponent has small hand and you know that he don't have a Perfect Guard through his previous drive checks, you can choose not to sacrifice your opponent and just attack your opponent's Vanguard since he probably can't guard your attack.

Not going to say much about this, but a great card to instantly add 5 cards into your hand. I feel the Power Bonus doesn't make any difference since your opponent probably just eat your damage early game. Playing two of this is enough as you won't have enough soul for other cards if you play 4 of this.

Just in case, your opponent field has a lot of Rearguards, you can stride this card and give a little pressure to your opponent as they have to guard a lot or risk getting critted and lose one Rearguard ( Which is good if your opponent has low hand and you can Stride "Diablo" the next turn and kill him ).

Pros

- Massive handsize

- Constant Pressure

- Has cool looking units

Cons

- Decks out pretty easily because this deck allows you to draw a lot and keep on superior calling out units which constantly thins the deck.

Final Words

People may ask, " Why play Blaster Support when there are only 4 Blaster units ", well something called Thing Abyss existed and there are only few Revenger cards in that deck and it still worked well. That's all I got to say, see you next time. After getting many advice from people, I decided to update this deck a little, I put in Witch Vanilla Legion in it as the G3 serves as a 12000 Power beater as a Rearguard and its mate boosted either by Swordbreaker or Eagle hits magic numbers. Also, when you are about to deck out due to the constant striding, you can ride Manisa and send back your triggers back to your deck. That's all I go to say, have a nice day.
