How the deck wins

Mono-Matsuri on yellow cheers. 2nd Matsuri hBP06-077 does 140 and gets +30 for each LIMITED support card you used this turn, so the whole deck is built to find and play LIMITED cards (14 of the 20 supports are LIMITED).

Normally you can use only 1 LIMITED a turn. Matsuri's SP oshi skill, I Absolutely Want to Win!!!!!!! (1 power, once per game, center Matsuri), and the collab effect of 2nd hBP09-087 (all holomem Matsuri, archive 1 holo power) each raise that to 2 for the turn: 140 + 60 = 200, or 250 if one of the two is Workout.

The 1st Matsuris keep the engine running: hBP09-086 blooms into a LIMITED from the top 5 cards, and hBP09-085 can return a LIMITED from the archive to the deck for Arts+30. Debut hBP09-084 trades a LIMITED in hand for 1-2 more Debut Matsuri on the stage.

Key cards

2nd Matsuri hBP06-077 (main attacker)

Never Give Up!! Natsuiro Spirits: 140, +30 for each LIMITED support card used this turn, for yellow + yellow + colorless. 200 HP. Bloom: if your life is less than or equal to the opponent's, you may send the top cheer of your cheer deck to a Matsuri.

Your finisher. Play a LIMITED before you attack every turn, and two on your SP turn.

Natsuiro Matsuri (oshi)

2 power, once per turn: roll a die; if the result is at least your life, add 1 card from your deck to hand; if it is at most your life, put the top deck card into holo power (a tie does both). SP, 1 power, once per game: with a Matsuri in the center, you can use 2 LIMITED supports this turn.

Save the SP for the turn 2nd hBP06-077 attacks; the trained AI waits until about its 3rd or 4th turn.

1st Matsuri hBP09-086

Bloom (Matsuri oshi): look at the top 5 and take a LIMITED support. Let's Cheer with the Drums!: 40 for 1 yellow. 170 HP.

The best 1st here: it finds the next LIMITED and attacks cheaply.

2nd Matsuri hBP09-087

Collab (yellow Matsuri oshi, all holomem on your stage are Matsuri): you may archive 1 holo power to use 2 LIMITED supports this turn. Arts: 60 for 1 yellow, +60 with 5+ LIMITED supports in your archive. 210 HP.

A second way to get a double-LIMITED turn, and a 120 hitter for 1 cheer late in the game.

1st Matsuri hBP09-085

Bloom (Matsuri oshi): you may return 1 LIMITED from your archive to the bottom of your deck to give a Matsuri Arts+30 this turn. Look How Cute I Drew It!: 50 for yellow + colorless.

Bloom it for the +30 on your 2nd, not to attack with it.

Workout

LIMITED event. Only with a collab holomem of yours and/or no opposing collab holomem: one of your holomem gets Arts+20, or Arts+50 if it is a 2nd or Buzz holomem.

Your best LIMITED on the attack turn: +50 and +30 from the 2nd's Arts.

The starting AI already won 79.8% with this list, so training added 7.3 points; in a mirror the trained AI beat the general AI only 77.6%. The deck is strong in anyone's hands; the skill is timing the once-per-game SP.

Game plan

Turns 1–2

Early game

Fill the stage and dig for LIMITED cards.

  1. Use Normal PC (any Debut) and Friendly PC (1-2 debut hBP04-079) to put Debut Matsuris on the stage.
  2. Collab debut hBP09-084 and archive a LIMITED from hand to bring out 1-2 more Debut Matsuri.
  3. Going second on your first turn, collab debut hBP06-073 to search a LIMITED support.
  4. Draw with Harusaki Nodoka and SorAZ Celebration (which also finds a 1st).
Turns 3–4

Mid game

Bloom 1st hBP09-086 and line up the 2nd.

  1. Bloom 1st hBP09-086 to take a LIMITED from the top 5, then attack with its 40-damage drums.
  2. Don't collab or attack with 1st hBP04-081 or 1st hBP09-085; the trained AI almost never does.
  3. Bloom 2nd hBP06-077 in the center around your 3rd turn and give it 2 yellow + 1 cheer.
Turn 5 on

Late game

Double-LIMITED turns finish the game.

  1. Hold the SP until 2nd hBP06-077 can attack, then play two LIMITED cards (Workout + a draw card): 140 + 30 + 30 + 50 = 250.
  2. Every other turn, play one LIMITED before attacking for 170.
  3. With 5+ LIMITED in the archive, 2nd hBP09-087 hits for 120 on 1 yellow and its collab gives another double-LIMITED turn.

What the trained AI does

In 60 test games the trained AI won 83%, against 73% for the general AI playing the same deck. It finished games in about 8 of its own turns.

Practice it

  1. In Match Lab's Player vs Bot, play against the Matsuri Limited Rush (JP) Specialist AI first and watch how it sets up.
  2. Then pilot the deck yourself against the Generalist AI.
  3. Aim to win in about 8 of your own turns, like the trained AI does.
