Strikers and Going First
Strikers feels extremely mediocre going first, I know Worlds isn't a format that is common, but a 60% going first win rate is pretty disappointing and the fact that we are kind of forced to go first to not get pseudo-FTK'd is also really upsetting and doesn't fit my play style whatsoever. So this is my take of going first, just Iblee floodgate.
The Azamina/Sinful Spoil stuff is only used to get Azamina Elzette to get a level 2 to overlay with a link 2 (usually Zero) into a Gigantic Spright, summon Iblee and make an Azalea (or I:P/S:P if you want to trim striker extra deck). EM:P Meowmine is there as another interruption/extender/Spright target. Grab an Eagle booster from Zero/Engage in case they try to Fallen & Virtuous the Iblee, you can even do a funny and Linkage into Kaina if they attempt to crash.
The deck is really subject to change, and I'm curious on other people's take. Is this engine worth considering or just stick to blind second board breakers?
