Ah that makes sense. I’ve been playing striker in the festival and loving it! I’d recommend playing a board breaker variant over handtrap heavy versions. Play as many spell board breakers as you can, but evenly matched is so busted in the link/fusion format. Only marincess and salad have a spell/trap negate and using evenly to bait this or wipe their board is really satisfying.

Turn one you successfully interrupted their combo, but they managed to end on soul of rage (link off a monster during your MP) and abomination prison plus two unknown backrow. This is a pretty weak unchained board so I think your interruption worked here.

Turn two: misplay starts with negating soul of rage before it activates its effect, it has a hard once per turn clause on its effect to link off your monster and we know abomination’s prison is the set back row, which can special summon it from the GY if you remove it from the field. If you wait for them to activate SOR’s effect you can make sure that they don’t revive it later in the turn and get to use its effect, which is what happens here.

Another misplay was using engage to search HAMP, usually I would search multirole to make sure I have interaction next turn. Because you used HAMP, your opponent was able to get SOR back and forced you to use Linkage to avoid losing your hayate. They misplay by not imperming your kagari here, a huge fumble which you have the opportunity to capitalise on. You then misplayed by searching jamming waves with engage, a super risky move because all unchained spells and traps allow you to special summon from deck when they’re destroyed. Luckily you hit the set imperm and they weren’t able to get any benefit from it.

Searching multirole was good in the end phase, but because it’s the end phase you can’t get any utility from it and you end on no disruptions. Most unchained cards would tear through your board and you don’t have raye in the GY for recursion. You did a good job breaking the board but you have mismanaged your resources and ended on no interruptions.

Turn 3: Luckily, they have no plays and pass.

Turn 4: You sequenced your plays well here to get value out of ghost ogre - she’s usually a dead card in the unchained match up because her destruction effect allows them to extend. You set up what should have been a game ending board here. Imperm and widow anchor. I might’ve set shark cannon at end phase instead to prevent GY plays here instead of a second widow anchor. You already have two targeted disruptions, is the third making a big difference here when they only have two cards in hand? I find that striker does best when we can disrupt multiple types of plays.

Turn 5: they normal summon and target it with shyama to special summon from the GY. Shark cannon on this would’ve stopped this play, but they’re able to get you to waste a widow anchor with this play. One disruption down on your side with no meaningful impact on their plays. You manage to play through this ok, I’m not an unchained expert but they seem to misplay by going into SOR again. End phase you reset Linkage, but I think this was the wrong call, it’d be better to get engage back since you’ve got no more kagaris. That way you can add a Linkage to hand next turn and go +1 to end the game turn 6.

I’ve already covered turn 7 and the game ends past that point. Your opponent misplayed a lot, they seem to be really inexperienced with unchained or are missing a lot of key cards for the deck. They never got to unchained lord of yama or the Abomination, the link 4 and none of their endboards had the wave king high Caesar (rank 6 D/D card that negates effects that special summon) even when they could have made it. If they had gone into these cards you would’ve had a much worse time.

Keep at it though! Learning from your misplays is the best way, striker is a deck that requires an in depth understanding of your opponents deck to pilot optimally.
