Bermuda Triangle Deck Update - Riviere/Shizuku

Slapping you with her Mermaid Tail

As the title says, this is an update to my previous deck profile (click here if you haven't seen it). Doing some messing around, I came to a conclusion that this new style of Riviere works way better than Riviere/Spica. So, not too much has changed so I'll just go over what is different about each grade (if any) BUT BEFORE THAT, thanks to this change, this deck is now pretty different as to how it is used. Also, I don't think I ever went over the new Shizuku, so here she is if you wanna check her out! (Edit: I did)

PLAYSTYLE

So, this Riviere/Shizuku deck is all about hand advantage and hard-hitting numbers. With this deck, no matter which grade 3 you ride, you will always gain advantage, sometimes more so than riding the other Grade 3. This deck is now revolved around a Riviere engine and a Shizuku engine for backup in case all hell breaks loose. The Shizuku engine aims to maximise your hand advantage and gets rid of Grade 3's and 2's through the stride skill of Shizuku from your deck and adds them to your hand for guard or for later use while still maintaining an aggressive push. Since the Riviere stride isn't heart restricted, it can skill work even if you ride Shizuku which is fine. 

Grade 0 

I have decided to play 8 crit and 4 draw now. It's just to apply more pressure while still getting hand advantage.

Grade 1

Focusing more on the Shizuku engine as a backup. I have taken out Aika because essentially, having 3 Riviere in the soul is enough to make a dent in your opponent's hand. So instead of Aika, I use 4 Courage and 3 Shizuku. 4 Courage is there so I can make the Ride Chain a little more consistent than it otherwise was. 3 Shizuku is there to obviously get hand advantage. 

Grade 2

No changes have been made for the Grade 2 spot.

Grade 3

Spica is obviously taken out for the main backup, Shizuku. Shizuku has harmony which is great and on top of that, she can help search for your G3 Riviere, however, if you end up riding Shizuku, you may as well not ride Riviere since she won't be as effective as Shizuku. Both options are really good in their own ways. Riding Shizuku means more hand and Riding Riviere means you'll focus more on offense.

Grade 4

All I have changed is reducing Ange to 1 since I never end up using her and I'd rather win it all with Riviere. So in her place, I increased the number of Lauris to 3 since her effect is more easily usable with all the hand advantage. Lauris is also great for making sure your opponent will have nothing by the end of the turn. Also, because I don't use Aika anymore, Riviere and Lauris do the same thing almost except Riviere draws that extra card, doesn't need everyone to be in Harmony and also gets 10k for herself. So ultimately, they both basically do the same thing as each other now. 

This was a quick update and I hope you all enjoyed it as I did writing it. Bye for now!
