The Ultimate Kashtira Strategy

Match 1: Setting the Pace

In our first match, we went first, which is ideal for setting up your plays. Starting with Reinforcements of the Army to bait out an Ash Blossom, I then used Planet Pathfinder to get Raithsoth. With Raithsoth, we summoned Unicorn, leading into Kashtira Theosis, and eventually Fenrir.

From there, it's all about chaining your summons:

1. Unicorn fetches Theosis.
2. Theosis helps bring Fenrir to action.
3. With Fenrir's effect, we snag a Scareclaw Kashtira.

Using these, we built into Shangri-Ira, locking out the opponent's zones. Adding Red-Eyes Flare Metal Dragon makes the board even more oppressive. Unsurprisingly, the opponent couldn't keep up and conceded.

Match 2: Rinse and Repeat

In a similar setup, starting first again allowed us to take full advantage of the Kashtira combos. With a starting hand featuring Cer Theosis and Cer Birth, I used Pathfinder to get Raithsoth, transitioned into Unicorn, and repeated our combo to summon Shangri-Ira and Arise-Heart. Opponent misplays were massively punished leading to another quick win.

Match 3: Surviving Second

For a change, we went second and faced Gunk Suip. Utilizing Effect Veiler and forcing poor plays from the opponent, we managed to flip the script. With a timely Pot of Extravagance and solid Kashtira sequences, our board presence overwhelmed the opponent, causing another concession.

Match 4: Mixed Approach

Even though the opponent started with a decent setup, Kashtira's robust combo potential shined through. We used Pot of Extravagance despite facing a Maxx "C", followed Pathfinder into Raithsoth, and activated Unicorn. Despite an Ash Blossom from the opponent, the power of Fenrir's field control pushed us to victory.
