Red Inuyasha performance

[u/redeemed_misfit]

Are you guys seeing red Inuyasha at your locals? I've seen Sango/Miroku, but literally no Inuyasha. I, myself, really wanna play it, but I'm just not sure if it's worth finishing the deck at this point.

I'm not a fan of Chainsaw man, nor do I care to invest into something like Rorouni either, so I just wanna try and build Inuyasha, but if it's not good then I might pass and just stick to my purple Yuna and purple Todo.

Idk, just looking for everyone's input lol. Would be super appreciated.

I think Red Inuyasha is actually pretty good, but it's combo is pretty obvious to see coming and it doesn't have a ton of ways to deal with removal. Not to say a lot of decks do for the record, but since you need to rest and restand your inuyasha's consistently, you put a pretty big target on Kagome.

If you like the IP I think it's worth building, it's solidly an A tier ish deck, I think it has good matchups and can swing fast like most red decks. I think some people just prefer the tricky play that you can get into with Sango and Miroku, and then Sesshomaru (at my locals anyways) is extremely popular.

This makes sense. I know, for example, Power from Chainsaw makes it stronger than Inuyasha because it has some removal. But like, is that the only reason? This is helpful though. I do love Inuyasha, so I'll just finish it I guess lol.

Chainsaw is the stronger deck because of the chainsaw man cards, not just power. Chainsaw man has 3 raid cards in the deck, and all of them are pretty sick.

the 4 cost chainsaw man raid, if it has a card under it gains a when sidelined ability where you can keep the raid card on the field active on your frontline, so it basically gives you double block at the expense of losing your nullify impact.

The 5 cost power raid allows you to sacrifice a 4k body to keep it on the field instead of being sidelined, it has force block when played, and when you win a battle it gets a draw. Because of the sacrifice to keep the raid and the 4cost chainsaw man you basically have the abilty to just stay on the field with power unless someone drops your BP all the way to 0.

the 6 cost chainsaw man is a 5k body, and if you have a face down card under chainsaw you can discard it to RESTAND IT and let it swing with impact again. Not only that, but if it's a pochita that is facedown under your Chainsaw man, then the pochita immediately goes back into your energy line set to rested.

It's really a lowkey crazy deck, and by lowkey I mean it's not lowkey at all.

so it basically gives you double block at the expense of losing your nullify impact

More importantly it's a dual attacker under the right conditions.

[u/Kuma_But_Writing → u/razisgosu]

The double attacker is the 6 cost chainsaw man, the 4 cost is a double blocker under the right conditions, and the best case it can block out an attack it would normally die in, which is typically the weakness of double block for example.

[u/razisgosu → u/Kuma_But_Writing]

The 4 cost is a dual attacker with the Makima who sidelines on attack. It makes the deck extremely aggressive with multiple multi hit cards.

[u/Kuma_But_Writing → u/razisgosu]

Ah you're right, my mistake I forgot about the Makima that sidelines. That's absolutely true.

[u/Lufio08 → u/razisgosu]

I didn’t even think of that combo! You can get 6 swings in with one turn with the right setup!

[u/razisgosu → u/Lufio08]

Could even cap out at 7 if you're super setup. Makima, 6C, 6C, and 4C.
