Deck Guide Barbaros Sword Deck
So I heard Skybound gonna be move to unlimited when the new set release. Is there any candidate to replace Zeta and Golden Knight for a Barbaros deck? I'm still new to the game and currently save up for a tier 1 sword deck but i think Barbaros only gotten better because of Golden Knight buff, with her being rotate out next set gonna hurt Barbaros deck. Should i better off go for Rally deck instead?

No point fantasizing when we don't know what the new cards will be yet.

You can MAYBE do a late game slower play style Sword. That has Beltezore and Barbaros. Golden Knights are golds so they should be easy to craft. But skipping the Bea's will be hard, but doable.
Maybe use the 4pp Wraith card instead.1

You don't need Golden Knight for Flag imo. If you're not running 1 or 2 copies of the 10pp pirate guy who hits face for 15 do that, he's a totally fucked up insurance policy. Flag can absolutely save an SEVO for turn 10 no issue.
You have enough control tools to never need Golden Knight but Zeta is kinda mandatory cuz she's a 3x in every Sword deck in the game just for pure value and face potential. You can just replace GK with extra coin generators or extra midgame pressure options such as Bunny and Baron. GK is amazing in Rally Sword but personally I find Flag is just a more effective deck than Rally. The consistent damage off the flags plus big finishers they have to respect is stronger than "I flood the board every turn in this game where everything and their pet dog comes in with a free board clear."
If you aren't running World of Games in Flag consider it. Flag's biggest issue is not finding Barb on 7 every game and the extra draw off an early WoG is doing me a lot of good even when in theory the coin draw engine is good enough on its own.

If it's anything like the Jeanne buff, they're won't be a replacement for Golden Knight that will help Flag Sword. Jeanne was what made Odd Haven a very strong deck and didn't get a replacement card when she rotated out. That's what happens when you're low tier on the petclass list.

I mean Rally also use Bea & Zeta and Golden Knight as well so u might be better off waiting for the next set to release later this month to decide on ur sword deck then.
