How the raid face works

UE20BT/TSK-1-107 · cost 4 · 4000 BP · Blue

The printed trigger on Rimuru (UE20BT/TSK-1-107) 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: Rimuru (UE20BT/TSK-1-107) and Soei (UE20BT/TSK-1-060). 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 redundancy across five Rimuru printings (017, P-001, 107, 053, 052, 050) means the deck rarely whiffs on its central character across a long tournament day. The same snapshot flags that against Tier 1 aggro decks like Sakamoto Days - Shin Asakura or Rurouni Kenshin - Hajime Saito, the midrange curve can fall behind before the Rimuru package comes online.

The curve

Energy line · hosted 50

Energy 0-2. Gobta (UE20BT/TSK-1-040), Rimuru (UE20BT/TSK-2-017), Rimuru (UE20BT/TSK-1-050), Soei (UE20BT/TSK-1-058), and Report (UE20BT/TSK-2-024) keep the early turns honest. Energy 3-4. Feast (UE20BT/TSK-1-062), Rimuru (UE20BT/TSK-1-107), Soei (UE20BT/TSK-1-059), Soei (UE20BT/TSK-1-060), Rimuru (UE20BT/TSK-1-052), and Rimuru (UE20BT/TSK-1-053) are the mid-curve bodies. 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 Rimuru, at least one 0-2 cost setup card, and one Feast (062) 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

Shizu (UE20BT/TSK-P-002) is the 3-of most lists will argue about.
