How the raid face works
The printed trigger on Evangelion Production Model-08 (UE15BT/EVA-1-042) 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: Evangelion Test Type-01 (Spear of Gaius) (UE15BT/EVA-1-033), Evangelion Production Model-08 (UE15BT/EVA-1-042), Evangelion Production Model-02 (UE15BT/EVA-1-081), and Evangelion Production Model-New 02 (UE15BT/EVA-1-043). 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 highest trigger quality (82) of any tempo deck in the field. The same snapshot flags that declining tournament share despite strong stats suggests the deck can't convert power into results.
The current 50-card core
Four-ofs: Asuka Shikinami Langley (UEPR/EVA-1-048), Asuka Shikinami Langley (UE15BT/EVA-1-049), Asuka Shikinami Langley (UEPR/EVA-1-050), Asuka Shikinami Langley (UE15ST/EVA-1-113), Mari Makinami Illustrious (UE15BT/EVA-1-054), Mari Makinami Illustrious (UE15BT/EVA-1-056), Misato Katsuragi (UE15BT/EVA-1-046), Evangelion Production Model-02 (UE15BT/EVA-1-081), Evangelion Production Model-08 (UE15BT/EVA-1-042), and Evangelion Production Model-New 02 (UE15BT/EVA-1-043). Common two-ofs: Evangelion Test Type-01 (Spear of Gaius) (UE15BT/EVA-1-033). That average is taken from the featured list on Evangelion - Evangelion Production Model-08, then checked against the 89 hosted files.
The curve
Energy 0-2. Asuka Shikinami Langley (UEPR/EVA-1-048), Asuka Shikinami Langley (UE15BT/EVA-1-049), Asuka Shikinami Langley (UEPR/EVA-1-050), Asuka Shikinami Langley (UE15ST/EVA-1-113), and Mari Makinami Illustrious (UE15BT/EVA-1-054) keep the early turns honest. Energy 3-4. Mari Makinami Illustrious (UE15BT/EVA-1-056), Misato Katsuragi (UE15BT/EVA-1-046), Evangelion Production Model-02 (UE15BT/EVA-1-081), Evangelion Production Model-New 02 (UE15BT/EVA-1-043), and Your Wish Is My Command, Your Highness! (UE15BT/EVA-1-061) are the mid-curve bodies. Energy 5-6. Evangelion Production Model-08 (UE15BT/EVA-1-042). Energy 7+. Evangelion Test Type-01 (Spear of Gaius) (UE15BT/EVA-1-033) wait on the line. Do not keep a hand of only these. This is read off the hosted 50, not a hidden playbook. If your locals file plays a different 3-of, trust that file.
Mulligan
Keep a Raid Evangelion Production Model-08, at least one 0-2 cost setup card, and one Mari Makinami Illustrious (056) 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
Evangelion Test Type-01 (Spear of Gaius) (UE15BT/EVA-1-033) are the first slots to shave if your room is all one matchup. Evangelion still has to respect Asuka UE15BT/EVA-1-051 and Spear of Gaius UE15BT/EVA-1-063 at one copy each.
