<The Dark "Ren Suzugamori"> is the only Legend Deck to be released so far, featuring Shadow Paladin support in the form of new versions of cards that Ren use. A cost-effective pre-constructed deck in itself, this article presents one form of the upgraded deck that allows it to further unleash its potential.
Deck Name: Diablo Formula
G Unit
Grade 3
Grade 2
Grade 1
Grade 0
Deck Summary
This deck features a 10-crit 2-draw 4-heal trigger lineup to exert high crit pressure, while not totally compromising on drawing power at the same time. Here are some of the other differences from the original Legend Deck:
- Usage of Perfect Guard G: counter charging is helpful in this deck
- Addition of stride enablers: to facilitate the first stride, when Blaster Dark "Diablo"'s GB2 skill is not yet active
- Replacement of the other grade 3 slot to Phantom Blaster Dragon: can search for a grade 3 which is potentially helpful, and has 'Blaster' in the card name to facilitate much of the deck's skills
Main Strategy
- Ride Blaster Dark "Diablo", stride Aurageyser Doomed first
- Subsequent 2 strides: Phantom Blaster "Diablo"
- If game still ongoing, stride Atmos and aim to finish the opponent
The first G Unit to stride in this deck would be
Aurageyser Doomed, in order to achieve early retirement of the opponent's important rear guards, while not compromising on much yourself. Be sure to retire Promising Knight, David as part of the cost in order not to lose too many units.
Subsequently, stride Phantom Blaster "Diablo" to retire even more of your opponent's units, and pressure them to guard a high-power, high-crit centreline.
Much of the deck focuses on helping you recover your field after retiring your rear-guards as part of your G Units' skills. Here are some examples of ways to restore your rear-guards:
 |
Dark Night Maiden, Macha is a good card to use. Superior call Dark Heart Trumpeter, which
then superior calls Pitch Black Sage, Charon. This sets up your field for the next turn, where
you will retire 3 rear-guards for Phantom Blaster "Diablo"'s skill.
|
 |
| Field restored and ready for the next turn! |
 |
| Upon your second stride turn, attack with the rear-guard lane that is not Dark Night Maiden, Macha first. |
 |
"Diablo" attacks. Retire Charon and the previously boosted back row rear-guard
to force your opponent to retire two rear-guards himself before he can guard this attack!
|
 |
Finally, use Macha's skill once again, just like the previous turn. Restore your field
and prepare for the next "Diablo" stride turn!
|
Another good example of an ideal field is when you manage to have a Macha-Charon lane, and a front row Dorint on the other lane. This is what you can achieve:
 |
You can use Macha's skill to superior call a Dark Heart Trumpeter, but since you already have Charon
on your field, you can superior call Claudas instead, behind Dorint.
This creates a 22k Dorint-Claudas lane that can counter charge, while still able to retire Charon for your next turn.

Strengths and Weaknesses
When played well, this deck can really
demolish your opponent's field formation, being able to retire 8 of your opponent's rear guards in a single game at best. At the same time, a lot of pressure is applied to your opponent in the form of "Diablo", and there is a constant reminder for the opponent to have at least 3 rear guards on his field in order for him to be able to guard in the first place.
Blaster Dark "Diablo"'s GB2 skill also helps the deck along in terms of consistency. Allowing you to
discard any card to stride "Diablo" is very useful in situations that would have been detrimental to other stride decks, where you do not have proper stride fodders on your hand.
Problems start to arise when the
crucial starter vanguard (Promising Knight, David) gets retired by your opponent before you perform your first stride. In this case, you can still use Aurageyser Doomed if you are able to get Charon to your field during your main phase. If not, you may have to resort to striding Aurageyser Dragon, in order not to lose too many of your cards.
Another possible issue is when you are
forced to ride Phantom Blaster Dragon. In this case, try to use its skill to search for Blaster Dark "Diablo", to ride next turn. This is because having Blaster Dark "Diablo" as your grade 3 vanguard contributes significantly to the overall mechanics of the deck for the two "Diablo" stride turns.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the 8k power Darkness Maiden, Macha for? Isn't that an old card?
A: Darkness Maiden, Macha is an alternative solution to superior calling your grade 1s in the case where you need to restore your field but do not have any Dark Night Maiden, Machas or Dark Heart Trumpeters in your hand or field. Furthermore, it can be used even before riding grade 3, as long as you have enough counterblast to pay the cost, allowing for an early superior call.
Q: Why am I striding Aurageyser Doomed first, instead of Aurageyser Dragon? Am I not wasting its autocrit skill if I stride Doomed so early?
A: Although the autocrit skill is wasted, you can achieve an early retirement of your opponent's field, which could go a long way in disrupting your opponent's strategy. Furthermore, Aurageyser Dragon's skill consumes soul, which then reduces the number of times you can use Dark Heart Trumpeter to restore your field.
Q: What happened to Grim Recruiter?
A: Grim Recruiter is a G Unit that is potentially useful in a Legend Deck, as it can call grade 1s that can then chain superior call once its attack hits. However, it does not allow GB2 to kick off when used as the first stride. It is recommended to activate GB2 immediately after your first stride so that you will not get into the situation where you can't stride the next turn, especially since Fullbau Brave is no longer your starter vanguard. Striding Aurageyser Doomed as first stride instead helps you to achieve GB2.
