Know Your Cards, DRAW TRIGGERS


Hello everyone, Praetorian from check the drive trigger here. Wait what Sockies, im meant to write stuff now? FINE! I was happy just doing video. :(
Well its the time of the week where we give you something to read while you're at work, on the bog or otherwise bored. Today I'll talk a little about the new set 3 cards and also how Draw Triggers can win game and how to work with them in most decks. 

Booster Set 3: Demonic Lord Invasion
So set 3 came out a few weeks ago and i have started building Dark Irregulars. The clan is focused around building your soul. Cards like Demon World Marquis, Amon,  Doreen the Thruster and Stil Vampir benefit geartly from having cards in the soul

Demon World Marquis, Amon



This is my Favourite Dark Irregulars of Set 3, His skills and power make this deck very hard hitting. He's a Grade 3 twin driving BEAST. 
His skills 
The first of his skills is a continous skill, when he is your VG and during your turn, He gain +1000 for each Dark Irregulars in your soul.

Using cards like Blue Dust (when his attack hit, you can soul charge 1), Vermillon Gate keeper (when a Dark Irregulars Rides this, soul charge one), Alluring Succubus ( when placed on VG and RG, soul charge 1) Decadent Succubus( VG, when another Dark Irregulars is placed on RG, soul charge one) and Dark Queen of Nightmareland (Stand Trigger, when this unit boost a DarkIrregulars hits soul charge one and put this back in your deck), all these card add to your soul, powering him up. I had a game the other day where he was 40k by himself. you dont need to boost that, but it helps.

His second skill also help him power up and in clears your oppnents field. this ACT is to Counter Blast one & Choose one of your «Dark Irregulars» rear-guards, and put it into your soul. Your opponent Then chooses one of There rear-guards, and retires it.

Doreen the Thruster
Now with all these cards that can sould charge in the deck,  Doreen the Thruster  also get powered up, she is the same as the Royal Paladin card, Young Pegasus Knight. Every time you soul charge, she get +3000 for that turn.

Now we come to Stil Vampir,




He appears in the anime. He has two good skills to note. 
His AUTO,on the VG he can soul charge one and gains +2000 untill the end of the turn. 
And his mega blast soul blast 8 counter blast 5, Choose one of your opponent's RG, and put in on their VG. and the end phase they can choose one can from their sould and ride it. If you get his skill off then it is a game winner.

Any way onto draw triggers.
You know draw triggers, the little red trigger on the top right of your grade 0. Looks like this
These can win you games trust me. This nice little trigger not only gives you +5000 anywhere but allows you to draw a card, its great as a drive and damage check. The only down side is the 5000 sheild.

They are so good because there give you the extra card to guard with or to play. twin drive you could get 4 cards to your hand out of it. You get all the shileds. so in most of my decks i'm running at least 4 draw triggers minimum. And i know they only have 5k sheilds but your perfect gaurds would work wonders with these bad boys as the discard fodder over a card you would want to play.
Also add the fact that a few draw trigger have RG skills, Margal from the Royal Paladins, has a skill to move it into the sould and give a Royal Paladin +3000. 
Other Draw Triggers  cards with Skills include:

Gattling Claw Dragon

[Act] RG: Counter Blast 1, move this Unit to Soul If you have a Kagerō Vanguard, retire 1 of your Opponent's Grade 0 Rear Guards. 

Falcon Knight of the Azure

[Auto]: When this unit is placed on a RG from your deck, choose another of your Gold Paladin units, and that unit gets +2000 until end of turn. 

Rainbow Magician (Featured last week in Cottonsock's article about the Pale Moon Clan)

[auto]: [Soul Charge 1] when this unit boosts a [PALE MOON] unit and the attack hits you may pay the cost, and return this card to the deck and shuffle.

And many more. 
As you can see there are many benerfits to draw triggers get useing them and get winning game. good luck in your fights. Well that enought from me i'm starting to feel ill and need to hand this to cottonsocks. goodbye for now.
