How the raid face works

UE17BT/SLG-1-021 · cost 5 · 4000 BP · Purple

The printed trigger on Sung Jinwoo (UE17BT/SLG-1-021) 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: Sung Jinwoo (UE17BT/SLG-1-021) and Sung Jinwoo (UE17BT/SLG-1-020). 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 the four-tier Sung Jinwoo raid chain (018→022→019→017, capped by Sung Jinwoo Winner) gives the deck a scaling threat that gets harder to answer each turn it survives. The same snapshot flags that against fast aggro like Sakamoto Days - Shin Asakura or Rurouni Kenshin - Hajime Saito, the raid chain can be too slow to assemble before life total collapses.

Cha Hae-in (UE17BT/SLG-1-011), Go Gunhee (UE17BT/SLG-1-012), Sung Jinwoo (016) (UE17BT/SLG-1-016), Sung Jinwoo (UE17BT/SLG-1-020), Sung Il-hwan (UE17BT/SLG-1-023), and Demon's Castle (UE17BT/SLG-1-034) are the mid-curve bodies.

Mulligan

What the 50 implies

Keep a Raid Sung Jinwoo, at least one 0-2 cost setup card, and one Cha Hae-in (011) 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

Han Song-yi (UE17BT/SLG-1-003), Sung Il-hwan (UE17BT/SLG-1-023), Demon's Castle (UE17BT/SLG-1-034), and I Want to Catch Up to Him (UE17BT/SLG-1-036) are the first slots to shave if your room is all one matchup. Sung Jinwoo (UE17BT/SLG-1-020) is the 3-of most lists will argue about.
