In just a few weeks time, the BP07 Release Events will kick off. Only cards from BP07 can be used, but it is a Crosscraft format. Today's article will discuss one of the optimal Natura Builds for this event, Sword/Dragon Hybrid.
It should come as no surprise that the two brothers, Valdain and Bayleon actually work exceptionally well together. The decklist is as below:
Firstly, winners of the Raffle this month:
Young Cat Tier: Avaltus
SVM Tier: Geralf
As always, winners can DM me on Discord to organise a coaching session. BCS should be upcoming for many of you, so make sure to set something up!
This month has been a little slower than the other months and this is because I have been very busy with travelling across the world! As many of you know, I placed top 8 at BCS Vietnam and Top 4 at BCS Yogyakarta respectively.
Afterwards, ...
2024-11-30 02:10:50 +0000 UTC View PostHey guys, as some of you know already, I'm currently in Vietnam for the BCS! First time being here, definitely a.... unique experience so far, have been scammed once so far!
I chat about a few of my tourist experiences, but also cover the CP02 meta and my thoughts on why I'm picking the deck I'm bringing tomorrow and why I opted against the other meta decks.
There will be a bunch of content out for BP07 over the next few weeks (meta summary/deck guides/bp07 release t...

More content to follow as we get closer to the release!
2024-11-15 02:37:39 +0000 UTC View PostToday, we are showcasing a non-Kuon deck with the cute variant of Idolmaster.
So I think this deck has a set of very polarising matchups - when it's good, it's good, but when it's terrible the games feel sort of unwinnable. Ultimately, I think it's an excellent deck to have in your wheelhouse, as it can occasionally be one of the best decks into certain metagames.
I go through each of the games, reviewing a couple of the lines and sharing my thought process.
I've been thinki...

2024-10-21 12:59:33 +0000 UTC View PostThis is designed to be an irregular series of posts around how to maximise your value when spending on SVE. A lot of these ideas I don't want to be too public, but I'm cool with sharing it with you guys, as I want you to get as much of your money back when subbing to SVE Master.
Oh, also, obviously, this is NOT financial advice, DYOR etc.
One of the things I've been thinking about a lot recently is the release of the Idolm@ster Starter Decks. For context, when you buy one of these...

2024-10-08 13:31:14 +0000 UTC View PostThe end of another month is upon us, and with it, a coaching raffle!
The winners for this month were as follows:
Young Cat Tier: Avaltus
SVM Tier Roll: Geralf
Supporter Tier Roll: KR
As always, you may contact me via Discord to organise a coaching session.
September marked the kick-off of the Worlds Qualification season, including the first major tournament, the ...
2024-09-25 15:15:38 +0000 UTC View PostSo initially, I had no intention of attending this event, as the flight cost is extremely high, and the format is very unforgiving (have to have very good breakers for 5-2 or place X-1 or higher) into single elimination top 32, which is awful.
However, a week ahead of the event, the local Chinese whale decided he wanted to sponsor my trip for an 80% cut of prizing, which I agreed to. Naturally, I let him know that I didn't think it was worth it for him, but I think he wanted to gamble (...
2024-09-24 01:59:43 +0000 UTC View PostI go through my thought processes in a 3-0 Locals with Kuon, reinforcing the concepts that I highlighted in the guide, with a match against Amataz (first game) and Ginsetsu Abyss (third game) in particular. If you're still brushing up your Kuon play, make sure to give this one a watch.
2024-09-16 14:00:58 +0000 UTC View PostFor some reason every time I record a coaching session there's always at least SOME kind of issue with the recording. This time, it's the echo in the recording from the person being coached. One of these days, I will get a perfect recording in, but I figured it would still be a good thing to upload this vid as a reference for people that have won coaching already, and are looking to cash in their session soon.
There was also an issue in the second game whe...
2024-09-11 00:00:00 +0000 UTC View PostMy opponents seem to have lowrolled very hard in this tournament, but hey, a win's a win.
I've been trying out various builds of Kuon, and at the moment, I'm testing the CP02 iteration with Demoncallers. Frankly, I think I do prefer this build - it allows you to pick second against every deck in the format and gives you a perfect tempo curve with Penguin Wizard, Demoncaller/Cursecrafter/Merlin.
In addition, it punishes weak early starts from opponents, which you would see in this ...
2024-09-01 23:00:00 +0000 UTC View PostAs always, thank you for your continued support of SVE Master. First thing's first, the rafffle winners for this month:

As always, you may contact me on either Patreon or Discord to organise a session.
On a personal front, I have been busy moving apartment this month, followed by a short trip out of state. Once I am back from that, it's back to playing locals (and BP06), at which point the Kuon Guide will be created...

2024-08-15 12:55:38 +0000 UTC View PostPolling the userbase on the first BP06 guide.
The first option will be Kuon, and the second will be Amataz. Both are expected to be tier 1 decks for the upcoming format.
2024-07-31 23:16:34 +0000 UTC View PostWith Igni's 500 USD tournament featuring a 10 card sideboard, it's worthwhile thinking about what implications this will have on the best decks on the format.
Note: We've testing a new feature on the site where these articles can also be viewed at svemaster.com if you are logged into Discord with appropriate Patreon links
The biggest implication is its impact on Egg Haven in particular. Egg is a fa...
2024-07-26 00:53:14 +0000 UTC View PostFull Commentary of the match from Bma (because he lost the audio of his opponent in the recording).
For people playing Sword this expansion, I definitely recommend giving this a watch as there's some challenging game states (esp in game 1 for the mirror).
Match 1: Mirror
Match 2: Storm Haven
Match 3: Lishenna
Match 4: PDK Dragon
Next guide is for Usurpation Sword.
2024-07-21 14:08:19 +0000 UTC View PostThis month's winners are Siege, Geralf and Rize, contact me directly to organise a coaching session!
July was a busy month for SVE Master, especially with regard to BSF Sydney (which we came 3rd in) and organising the SVE Master Championships.
We are currently working on an Usurpation Sword Guide for the Shadowverse Master Tier and above. In addition, we're currently finishing off deck builder feature for Japanese sets, as well as Gloryfinder on the website.

2024-07-21 13:18:04 +0000 UTC View PostWe have updated the BP04 Uma Musume guide to be relevant for the BP05 format. Though some of the content is the same, I have added notes to the decklist and matchups.
Uma has always been strong since its release, and it is arguably a Tier 1.5 deck right now. It is likely to fall to the wayside in BP06, so this is the last chance to pick up some tournament wins.
Notably, the deck has a strong matchup into decks like Usurpation Sword and Midrange Forest, with an average (or slightly...
2024-07-12 05:06:31 +0000 UTC View PostEgg Haven probably got the most broken card in the entire set, lol.
Yeah, we're talking about Demonic Epitaph. Quite possibly the strongest aggro card in the entire game, it buffs Egg Haven into a true Tier 1 deck that every other class needs to tech against in order to win!
Despite how it looks on the surface, Egg Haven is primarily an aggro deck with the option to play a longer game via its EX Area and stacking damage via Eggsplosion.

Pretty sure the list is good in BP05 as well. I forgot to turn on mic when I recorded the original footage, so instead you get to hear my thought process across the entire 4-0 run, which is arguably better ~_~
Feel free to ask me questions about the gameplay.

Despite the nerfs in the English edition of Shadowverse Evolve, Uma Musume remains a viable deck in the BP04 environment due to its strong matchups against board-based decks such as Hero Sword and Midrange Forest (!!). It struggles against decks with excessive board clear and healing, such as Ramp Dragon and Egg Haven, but there are ways to mitigate these disadvantages through various tech options.
Note: Originally, I intended to keep guides only for the Shadowverse Mas...
2024-05-17 06:57:04 +0000 UTC View PostPlayed an online Australian local with BnB. Went 4-0, making it 8-0 over two weeks with the same list.
In the final round, played against Justin Mao, who was the 3rd place finisher at this year's World Championship.
I like this list a lot. I think it has a favourable matchup against every deck in the meta except for Egg Haven.
