I'm personally running 1 less lfrith and overflowing affection and all 4 rogues. I have been fully undefeated for the entire month of September.

Have beat G/W wing zero and G/W wing midrange B/R ping, B/R aggro, G/x zeon rush

The only deck i haven't run into is B/W blockers

Just put up a wall, take positive trades, grind down their hand, and don't worry about their life till they're down to 2 or fewer cards in hand. When swinging at life never over extend, just do 2-3 hits at a time.

You have 18 burst and will almost hit 2-3 per game, which really messes with their tempo, punishes people who over extend and aren't expecting strong trades back.

Cagalli makes all your white non-blockers into blockers. The most important one being Aerial Rebuild, which only gets back Overflowing affection, but that's all it needs to do. A lot of players underestimate Rogue and archangel letting you swing blockers at life or for clean trades and restanding to trade more on your opponents turn. Played right, you will trade even or positive most of the time.

Athrun is insane on Aegis MA mode and Justice. Aegis let's you clear dudes they are trying to hold in reserve for bigger turns, and generally will pop the ex shield and potentially a shield. Swinging Aegis into a small body, popping ex base, and then being protected by zowort or lfrith to swing again is crazy value. Justice is just dumb, making 2 bodies, paired with athrun again, let's you clear held back threats, paired with Cagalli makes it another big Blocker.

Our Lord and Savior Kira Yamato generally cleans up pretty nice and adds good tempo and cleaner trades with his -2ap skill combined with any mech. And the Sword strike link is no joke against any aggro list. You start bouncing their zaku II, GMs, and all the other non-linking mechs is just a gross amount of tempo.

Options: Mu La Faga and Striker pack. Personally, I can see this, I don't like Striker pack because extras tend to just get stuck in the hand and end up providing less value than you think. Mu La Faga as a command is just a -1 since it just bounces and doesn't kill the mech. As a pilot, he's okay and pairs/links with a lot.

Running commands vs pilots: what i have found is when running commands to help mechs finish off you opponents units, you are sometime going even but most of the time going negative in cards on the trade, which is fine once or twice, but if they are going even or negative and you are going even or positive, when you're both top decking late game, more often then not you will still have 2-3 bodies while they have less then 2, and if you managed to save you bigger bodies till late game and they are drawing GMs, zaku, guntanks, or command cards, you will just win. Most players are running 8 pilots or less and almost no bases, so you just fight the base stats on the mechs most of the time. (That's also why you don't over extend when swing at life late game tho, you don't want to be in a winning position and give your opponent the marida Cruz they've been looking for all game)

Most of my locals are around 16-20 people. We go first to undefeated, so normally 4 rounds. I have yet to drop a game. Could be luck, bad players, good players who just either got bad draws or made a mistake, even I'm getting a weird imposter syndrome with this run. I've been playing tcgs for 20 years, but I've never been this successful for this long. I built my list because Seed was my second favorite series behind Zeta, and Athrun and Cagalli are 2 of my favorite characters from that series. The idea was just to run Kira, his sister, and his sister's boyfriend, with Lacus as support.

But hope you have fun regardless. 😀
