How the raid face works

UE24BT/REZ-1-090 · cost 6 · 4000 BP · Purple

The printed trigger on Emilia (UE24BT/REZ-1-090) is: [Raid] Add this card to your hand, or if you have the required energy, perform Raid with it. Raid printings in the current 50: Emilia (UE24BT/REZ-1-090), Emilia (UE24BT/REZ-1-089), and Echidna (093) (SR**) (UE24BT/REZ-1-093). In Union Arena, [Raid] lets you add the card to your hand or perform Raid if the energy is there. The expensive copy is the ceiling. The cheaper copies with the same name are the steps. Contender's snapshot calls out that deep Emilia redundancy (022, 023, 025, 026, 027, 105, 106) means the deck rarely misses its core character on the energy or front line, smoothing early development. The same snapshot flags that the deck lacks a standout finisher with Damage(2) or Double Attack, so it struggles to race faster aggressive decks like REZ - Rem or Sakamoto Days - Shin Asakura once board stalls.

Energy 0-2. Trial of the Sanctuary (UE24BT/REZ-1-098), Emilia (UE24BT/REZ-1-085), Emilia (UE24BT/REZ-1-084), Emilia (UE24BT/REZ-1-083), Emilia (UE24BT/REZ-1-081), and Echidna (091) (Box Topper Foil) (UE24BT/REZ-1-091) keep the early turns honest. Energy 3-4. I Won't Let You Get Away (UE24BT/REZ-1-100), I Love You Both (UE24BT/REZ-1-099), Emilia (UE24BT/REZ-1-088), Echidna (UE24ST/REZ-1-113), and Echidna (093) (SR**) (UE24BT/REZ-1-093) are the mid-curve bodies. Energy 5-6. Emilia (UE24BT/REZ-1-090) and Emilia (UE24BT/REZ-1-089). This is read off the hosted 50, not a hidden playbook. If your locals file plays a different 3-of, trust that file.

Mulligan

What the 50 implies

Keep a Raid Emilia, at least one 0-2 cost setup card, and one I Won't Let You Get Away if the cheap card missed. Ship a hand of only 7+ cost finishers. That is inferred from costs in the hosted list, not a coach sheet from a hidden room.

Tech and flex

First cards to argue about

Emilia (UE24BT/REZ-1-084), Echidna (UE24ST/REZ-1-113), and Emilia (UEPR/REZ-1-086) are the first slots to shave if your room is all one matchup. Echidna (092) (U*) (UE24BT/REZ-1-092) is the 3-of most lists will argue about.
