Forum:A Couple Questions About Blackwings

Being a long time Blackwing player, I don't expect to quit the deck anytime soon, but I have a question or two about the deck that has been bothering me for quite some time.

The first question is about Shura, which many people consider the most important card in the deck (maybe 2nd behind Blizzard). In a standard 40 card deck, you run 3 shuras, and typically only 3-4 targets for its effect (1-2 Vayu, Gale, and technically Kalut), so why not run more? I've been playing Breeze for specifically that reason, for the last few months, and totally love it, but almost every single person I ask about it tells me that Breeze is a bad idea. Wouldn't it be a much better idea to run 1 extra card that helps make synchroing for 7-stars (ARMOR MASTER) a lot easier than not run it, and have to waste your Gale to drop an armor master and/or black rose (Armor master has a lot more survivability than any level 5 synchro you could make with shura + Vayu)?

The next question regards Sirocco, which many people are saying is way to slow to play this format. This bothers me. I understand that it is a bit slow, and in CERTAIN SITUATIONS there are better cards for you to spend your normal summon on (cough cough blizzard cough), but I think its uses far outweigh the downfalls. Even in the new format, there are a lot of decks that continue to run monsters with 1800/1900 attack, and Sirocco turns them to dust. Also, it works very well with Bora and Gale, as well as Vayu once it is in the grave. Even if it shows up dead, which it ONLY will when Blizzard is in hand, you can just make Brionac and dump that Sirocco to use with the Vayu you probably have in your graveyard.

If I excessively defended a point due to stubborness rather than correctness, please, educate me on my lack of knowledge. CardGamesFTW (talk • contribs) 07:57, September 25, 2011 (UTC)
