[OCG meta] 65 spright Tri-Brigade 1st place 26 December 2022

Kusyano (クシャノ) went 10-0 and finished 1st in “16th Tetsu Champion Ship ~Road to TCS~” which had 141 participants.

Spright Tri-Brigade has been around in the metagame since Spright was released back in Power of the Elements, but has been largely overshadowed by Spright, Tearlaments and Kashtira. But the Limit Regulations have dealt a heavy hand to these decks, severely lowering their power level and consistency, allowing for Spright Tri-Brigade to shine.

Tri-Brigade and Spright have a certain amount of synergy that allowed the two themes to flow together and form a congruous strategy. Tri-Brigade Kitt is a Level 2 monster and could be sent to the graveyard with Spright Sprind effect, Tri-Brigade Kitt and Tri-Brigade Kerass are Level 2 monsters and could be Special Summoned by Spright Elf and Gigantic Spright effect, while Nimble Beaver is a Beast monster and could be banished as cost to activate the effect of Tri-Brigade monsters.

Using Spright Starter or Gigantic Spright would restrict the player to only Special Summoning Level/Rank/Link 2 monsters, but that is just a minor inconvenience. Tri-Brigade Kerass is a Level 2 monster, Tri-Brigade Kitt Tri-Brigade Ferrijit the Barren Blossom, Tri-Brigade Bearbrumm the Rampant Rampager and Ancient Warriors Oath – Double Dragon Lords are Link-2 monsters, so they could be Special Summoned as usual. While the player could not end on Apollousa, Bow of the Goddess directly, they could go into I:P Masquerena first, and using I:P Masquerena effect to Link Summon Apollousa, Bow of the Goddess on the opponent’s turn.
