Deck-Building 101: Unlocking the Potential of Crossover Breakers' Big Three Hey Duelists, ArcKnight here! The wait is over—last Saturday, the Deck Build Pack: Crossover Breakers booster pack dropped in Asian English format! With it comes the sheer power of Ryzeal, Maliss, and Ryu-Ge. Sure, AE format is still missing some cards for full-power builds, but it’s also got some sweet perks—hello, unlimited Gold Sarcophagus and Allure of Darkness! Ready to dive in? I’ve got sample decklists and strategies tailored just for AE format to kickstart your journey with these epic themes. Let’s break boundaries together—here we go! Ryzeal View all Ryzeal related cards here. Strength Let’s dive into the first theme: Ryzeal. This deck is a powerhouse, thanks to its versatile one-card combo starters and the sheer dominance of its boss monster, Ryzeal Detonator. With built-in adaptability, it pairs perfectly with hard-hitting turn-ender hand traps like Maxx “C”, Mulcharmy Fuwalos, and Nibiru the Primal Being. What sets Ryzeal apart is its remarkable consistency and solid foundation, making it a formidable choice for locking down your opponent’s field presence and overwhelming them through relentless resource loops. Weakness The deck heavily depends on Ryzeal Detonator and maintaining field presence, leaving it vulnerable to board breakers and card removal strategies. Cards like XYZ Encore, Metaltronus, Kaiju, and Forbidden Droplet can effectively counter Ryzeal Detonator, diminishing its ability to provide interruptions. Sample Decklist (Asian English) Here is a sample Ryzeal decklist tailored to AE format: Maliss View all Maliss related cards here. Strength Maliss isn't just a beauty—it's a powerhouse of consistency and resilience! Packed with an array of starters, this deck runs like a well-oiled machine, ensuring you stay ahead of the game. Its reliance on banishing opens the door to powerhouse cards like Dimension Shifter and Dimensional Fissure, giving you a decisive edge. And let's not overlook the dynamic duo of Gold Sarcophagus and Allure of Darkness—both unlimited in the Asian English format—offering a thrilling boost to your deck's speed and reliability. With Maliss, you're not just playing; you're making a statement. Weakness The very thing that gives Maliss its edge—banishing—is also its Achilles' heel. Strategic counters like Artifact Lancea and Chaos Hunter can completely shut down its potential, leaving a Maliss player scrambling to adapt. Meanwhile, disruptive cards like Maxx “C”, Mulcharmy Meowls, and Mulcharmy Fuwalos can chip away at its momentum, ensuring that its final board presence is nothing more than a shadow of what it could have been. It's a high-stakes gamble—are you ready to take on the challenge? Sample Decklist (Asian English) Here is a sample Maliss decklist tailored to AE format: Ryu-ge View all Ryu-ge related cards here. Strength Ryu-ge may not always be the go-to choice, but it’s a hidden gem with some clever surprises up its sleeve. With its signature one-sided Dimensional Fissure theme card and impressive resilience against end-turn hand traps, this deck thrives as a versatile control powerhouse. Take it to the next level by unleashing the full potential of Inspector Boarder and Dominus trap cards—perfectly tailored to keep your opponents on their toes! Weakness While Ryu-ge excels as a flexible and strategic control deck, it's not without its hurdles. Faster aggro decks that establish their end board ahead of you can pose a significant challenge. Moreover, a well-timed Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring or Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit in response to your Sosei Ryu-ge Mistva’s pendulum effect can bring your turn to an abrupt halt if you lack a suitable extender. That said, with thoughtful planning, clever side-deck choices, and adaptive play, you can overcome these vulnerabilities and unlock the true potential of this deck. It's all about staying sharp and one step ahead of your opponent! Sample Decklist (Asian English) Here is a sample Ryu-Ge decklist tailored to AE format: Summary The Deck Build Pack: Crossover Breakers has stormed onto the scene, shaking up the table and dealing a brand-new hand of possibilities. With the much-anticipated Alliance Insight on the horizon, these three dynamic themes are primed to get even sharper, ready to carve their niche in the competitive meta. It's the perfect time to explore these game-changing strategies and add some serious flair to your dueling arsenal. This is ArcKnight of RespectYGO and thanks for reading this article. Happy Dueling!

Diao Chan’s Withering Reign: The Control Deck Taking Abyssal Heaven by Storm Abyssal Heaven landed in Grand Archive TCG on March 7, 2025, and a week later, Diao Chan, Idyll Corsage (HVN-006) has players hooked across forums, Discord, and Twitter. Her suffocating Wither control has sparked endless chatter, blending a new mechanic with a grind that leaves opponents’ boards in tatters. Want to master the deck that’s got everyone talking? Let’s dissect the Diao Chan Wither Control build, its devastating synergy, and how to rule the table like a Sanguo legend. The Heart of the Deck: Diao Chan, Idyll Corsage Card Details: Set: HVN No.: 006 Type: Champion (Cleric, Human) Cost: 3 Memory Level: 3 Life: 25 Element: Tera Abilities: Diao Chan Lineage On Enter: Choose any number of non-champion objects and put a wither counter on each. Whenever a non-token object an opponent controls is destroyed, you may banish it. If you do, they summon a Flowerbud (HVN-207) token. Link: https://tcg-corner.com/products/hvn-006?variant=50635707810067 Diao Chan sweeps in, blanketing the field with wither counters that demand (1) per counter or a sacrifice each turn. When objects fall, she banishes them, leaving Flowerbud clutter. Reddit’s calling her “the meta gatekeeper”—and she’s proving it. The Wither Engine: Key Cards and Synergy This deck piles on wither counters and squeezes resources dry. Here’s the core: Aphotic Ruin (HVN-032) Cost: 6 Reserve (less with Efficiency) Effect: Put four wither counters on a non-champion object. Link: https://tcg-corner.com/products/hvn-032?variant=50635712626963 Why It Works: A brutal hammer that, with Diao Chan’s banish, turns threats into dust fast. Maiden of Primal Virtue (HVN-210) Cost: 3 Reserve Type: Phantasia, Ally (Cleric, Apparition) Stats: 0 Life (gains +1 Power/+1 Life per phantasia) Link: https://tcg-corner.com/products/hvn-210?variant=50635738022163 Why It Works: Grows into a titan as phantasias stack—Twitter’s obsessed with its late-game heft. Shimmering Refraction (HVN-063) Cost: 2 Reserve Effect: Deal X damage (X = phantasia count); draw a card if activated from memory with Diao Chan. Link: https://tcg-corner.com/products/hvn-063?variant=50635716821267 Why It Works: A fast-speed sniper fueled by Diao Chan, Enchantress’s glimmer counters, keeping you ahead. Censer of Restful Peace (HVN-012) Cost: 0 Memory Effect: Graveyard cards lose abilities. Link: https://tcg-corner.com/products/hvn-012?variant=50635709612307 Why It Works: Slams the door on Floating Memory, making banishments permanent—a Discord must-have. Deck List: The Withering Blueprint Here’s a rules-compliant 60-card Main Deck and 12-card Material Deck, all within Norm/Tera limits: Material Deck (12 unique cards): 1x Haven of Heaven’s Rise (HVN 1st • EN — 018) (Level 0, 0 Memory, Norm, 15 Life, Tamer) 1x Diao Chan, Enchantress (HVN • EN — 004) (Level 1, 1 Memory, Norm) 1x Diao Chan, Dreaming Wish (HVN • EN — 005) (Level 2, 2 Memory, Norm) 1x Diao Chan, Idyll Corsage (HVN • EN — 006) (Level 3, 3 Memory, Tera) 1x Censer of Restful Peace (HVN • EN — 012) (Norm) 1x Nullifying Mirror (HVN • EN — 015) (Norm) 1x Tabula of Salvage (HVN • EN — 018) (Norm) 1x Scepter of Awakening (HVN 1st • EN — 029) (Tera) 1x Enthralling Chime (HVN • EN — 028) (Tera) 1x Forged Scalemail (HVN • EN — 013) (Norm) 1x Revealing Mesmer (HVN • EN — 060) (Norm) 1x Huaji of Heaven’s Rise (HVN 1st • EN — 014) (Norm, Regalia, Weapon, durability synergy)   Main Deck (60 cards, max 4 per card): 4x Maiden of Primal Virtue (HVN-210) (Tera) 4x Maiden of Shimmering Air (HVN-056) (Norm) 4x Aphotic Ruin (HVN-032) (Norm) 4x Shimmering Refraction (HVN-063) (Norm) 2x Zhang Jiao, Way of Peace (HVN-072) (Norm) 4x Coronation Ceremony (HVN-041) (Norm) 4x Withering Grasp (HVN-070) (Norm) 4x Auspicious Feast (HVN-033) (Norm) 4x Kingdom’s Divide (HVN-055) (Norm) 4x Gentle Respite (HVN-049) (Norm) 4x Disenchant (HVN-043) (Norm) 4x Surreptitious Scheme (HVN-068) (Norm) 4x Ameliorating Mantra (HVN-030) (Norm) 2x Revealing Mesmer (HVN-060) (Norm, phantasia redirection) 4x Bloom: Autumn’s Fall (HVN-204) (Tera, clears Flowerbuds for tokens) Fill to 60: 2x Nightshade (HVN-212) (Tera) How to Play It: Wither and Win Early Game: Start with Haven of Heaven’s Rise, materializing Censer to block graveyard tricks. Build phantasias with Maiden of Shimmering Air and snipe with Shimmering Refraction. Mid Game: Level to Diao Chan, Enchantress then Dreaming Wish for glimmer counters, and finally Idyll Corsage to unleash wither. Aphotic Ruin and banish clear the field, clogging it with Flowerbud. Late Game: Maiden of Primal Virtue towers over the wreckage, while Zhang Jiao adapts memory tricks. Opponents pay or perish. Why It’s Hot Right Now Reddit’s r/grandarchivetcg loves how it smothers Guo Jia Fatestone Aggro—Censer kills recursion, wither stalls Sunblessed Gazelle (HVN-200). Twitter raves about its grind against Warrior’s Lu Bu (HVN 1st-208)—wither wears him thin. Assassin’s Zhang He (HVN-147) might slip through, but Shimmering Refraction keeps them at bay. Final Verdict: Rule the Shadows Diao Chan Wither Control is Abyssal Heaven’s breakout star—oppressive, elegant, and meta-shaping. Snag your Diao Chan at https://tcg-corner.com/collections/abyssal-heaven-1-st-edition, build this terror, and watch rivals wither. Who rules Grand Archive? You do.  

Unlocking the Power of Censer of Restful Peace and Nullifying Mirror in Grand Archive   Abyssal Heaven dropped on March 7, 2025, introducing a slew of intriguing cards to Grand Archive TCG. Among them, Censer of Restful Peace (HVN-012) and Nullifying Mirror (HVN-015) stand out as subtle yet potent Regalia Items for Cleric decks. These cards might not scream aggression, but their ability to disrupt opponents can shift the meta in your favor. Let’s dive into their mechanics, explore how to maximize their potential, and craft deck-building strategies to make them shine.   Censer of Restful Peace Card Details: Set: HVN No.: 012 Type: Regalia, Item (Cleric, Accessory) Cost: 0 Memory, No Reserve Rarity: Rare Element: Norm Effect: "Cards in graveyards lose all abilities." Link: https://tcg-corner.com/products/hvn-012?variant=50635709612307 Analysis: Censer of Restful Peace is a quiet powerhouse. By stripping graveyard cards of their abilities, it neuters strategies relying on Floating Memory or on-death triggers. Think about decks using Maiden of Shimmering Air (HVN-056) to pay memory costs from the graveyard or Zhang Jiao, Way of Peace (HVN-072) triggering effects based on memory count—Censer shuts them down cold. At 0 Memory Cost, it’s a free drop from your Material Deck, making it an effortless addition to any Cleric lineup. Maximizing Effectiveness: Timing: Materialize it early to preempt graveyard recursion. It’s a passive effect, so once it’s on the field, it’s always working.  Pairing: Combine with cards that force opponents to fill their graveyard, like Floodbloom (HVN-206) (banishes top two deck cards each turn) or Aphotic Ruin (HVN-032) (wither counters pressure sacrifices). This amplifies Censer’s disruption by bloating their graveyard with useless cards.  Protection: Since it’s a Regalia with 0 Life, it’s vulnerable to Break Apart (HVN-035) or similar removal. Keep a Coronation Ceremony (HVN-041) handy to grant Spellshroud and shield it. Nullifying Mirror Card Details: Set: HVN No.: 015 Type: Regalia, Item (Cleric, Accessory) Cost: 0 Memory, No Reserve Rarity: Rare Element: Norm Effect: "REST: Until end of turn, cards in target opponent’s memory are norm element. (They are not any other element.)" Link: https://tcg-corner.com/products/hvn-015?variant=50635709972755 Analysis: Nullifying Mirror is a scalpel for Cleric control decks. By resting it (slow speed), you turn an opponent’s memory cards into Norm element until turn’s end, stripping their elemental identity. This wrecks decks relying on advanced elements (e.g., Arcane, Luxem) or specific elemental synergies, like Sunblessed Gazelle (HVN-200) needing Luxem or Arcane Blast (HVN-184) requiring Arcane. It’s another 0 Memory Cost gem, perfect for early deployment. Maximizing Effectiveness: Timing: Use it reactively during an opponent’s turn (after they commit to a big play) to disrupt level-ups or advanced element activations. Synergy: Pair with Surreptitious Scheme (HVN-068) to remove a level counter after neutralizing their memory, delaying their champion’s progression. Protection: Like Censer, it’s fragile. Shimmering Refraction (HVN-063) can punish removal attempts, dealing damage based on your phantasias while drawing you a card. Deck-Building Strategies: Crafting the Perfect Cleric Control To maximize Censer of Restful Peace and Nullifying Mirror, your deck needs to amplify their disruption while staying resilient. Here’s how to build around them: Core Champion: Diao Chan, Enchantress (HVN-004) Why: Her glimmer counters fuel Reaction Spells like Shimmering Refraction, synergizing with Censer’s graveyard lock and Mirror’s memory tweak. Her Level 3 form, Diao Chan, Idyll Corsage (HVN-006), adds wither counters for even more control. Material Deck: Include both Censer and Mirror (max 1 each), plus Tabula of Salvage (HVN-018) to recycle key cards. Key Allies and Phantasias: Maiden of Shimmering Air (HVN-056): 2 Reserve, Floating Memory fuels Shimmering Refraction while Censer blocks opponents from doing the same. Zhang Jiao, Way of Peace (HVN-072): 3 Reserve, adapts to memory size, unhindered by Censer since its effect triggers on-enter. Control Suite: Aphotic Ruin (HVN-032): 6 Reserve (less with Efficiency), piles wither counters to force sacrifices, amplifying Censer’s graveyard clog. Shimmering Refraction (HVN-063): 2 Reserve, scales with phantasias, punishes removal attempts on your Regalia.   Main Deck Composition: Minimum 60 Cards: 3x Maiden of Shimmering Air 2x Zhang Jiao, Way of Peace 3x Shimmering Refraction 2x Aphotic Ruin 3x Coronation Ceremony (protection) Fill with Norm-element staples like Auspicious Feast (HVN-033) (healing) and Kingdom’s Divide (HVN-055) (cost increase). Strategy: Stall with Censer and Mirror, build phantasia count, and grind out value with Diao Chan’s reactions. Matchups: Vs. Tamer (Guo Jia): Censer cripples Fatestone recursion (Idle Fatestone (HVN-052)), while Mirror delays Shenju synergies. Vs. Warrior: Mirror neuters advanced element plays (Lu Bu, Indomitable Titan (HVN 1st-208)), buying time for wither counters to work. Vs. Mage: Censer shuts down Natural Order (HVN-211) graveyard tricks; Mirror disrupts Kongming (HVN-010)’s Shifting Currents. Final Thoughts Censer of Restful Peace and Nullifying Mirror aren’t flashy, but they’re meta-defining in the right hands. They turn Cleric into a control juggernaut, choking graveyard and memory strategies with minimal investment. Build around Diao Chan, stack phantasias, and watch opponents squirm as their plans unravel. Ready to wield these silent disruptors?
