Now here’s an interesting little duck. This Critical Trigger is 30k shield instead of 15k, but for double the shield, it means running one less Perfect Guard. Is that WORTH it? First instinct says no – we can access 12 Criticals and 4 Heals for every Standard Deck now, and while running these means you won’t cut into your G1 lineup just to run Sentinels, to be frank if I wanted to run 12 Critical I’d just run G1 Perfect Guards and sacrifice a slot.

But would I run 12 Critical at all? Well, isn’t that the question. Anyone who stuck with me since I first came here knows I have been an advocate for 12 Criticals since before Standard Format was a thing. Once I get the next wave of Kagero support I might actually do that, but I will acknowledge that since Standard Grade 3s have gotten considerably better at acting as finishing blows and aren’t stupid Limit Break-esque on-hit skills I think in some cases it may be justified to run Draw Trigger Perfect Guards.

It’s just I don’t want to put all the eggs in one basket. Right now with Accel Decks with lots of attacks being king I’d PROBABLY give these a whirl since PGs are a -2 no matter the attack, but I don’t expect these to age well in the coming format.

2.75/5
