How the raid face works

UE15ST/EVA-1-105 · Red

Evangelion Proto Type-00 is the character the hosted 50s keep building around. Raid printings in the current 50: Garou (UE06BT/OPM-1-077). 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 extremely high card-name redundancy (four copies of Evangelion Proto Type-00, Shinji Ikari 074/075, and three separate Rei Ayanami numbers) means the deck almost always opens with its core pieces available. The same snapshot flags that the list shows almost no dedicated removal or disruption tools, leaving it vulnerable to boards it cannot out-tempo, particularly against aggressive decks like Sakamoto Days - Shin Asakura or Rurouni Kenshin - Hajime Saito.

The curve

Energy line · hosted 50

Energy 0-2. Garou (UE06BT/OPM-1-073), Garou (UE06BT/OPM-1-075), Rei Ayanami (UEPR/EVA-1-070), and Boros (UEPR/OPM-1-080) keep the early turns honest. Energy 3-4. Garou (UE06BT/OPM-1-076), Garou (UE06BT/OPM-1-113), Rei Ayanami (UE15ST/EVA-1-102), Garou (UEPR/OPM-1-074), and Monster Cells (UEPR/OPM-1-097) are the mid-curve bodies. Energy 5-6. Garou (UE06BT/OPM-1-077) and Fist of Flowing Water Crushing Rock (UE06BT/OPM-1-100). 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 Evangelion Proto Type-00, at least one 0-2 cost setup card, and one Garou (076) 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

Garou (UE06BT/OPM-1-113) 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.
