White Forest Runick (January 2025) (Masterduel)

The "White Forest" card's interactions with Runick is pretty freakin' insane, since both strategies synergize extremely well. White Woods interacts with spells, draws additional cards, and easily facilitates synchro summons due their ability to spam out tuners. Meanwhile Runick adds additional draw power, extra synchro bodies, and adaptability due to their toolbox quick-play spells. These two were made for each other! Thus a new Runick variant was born (MAN I LOVE RUNICK)!

 

Rciela turns enables a search for any White Forest card for a low cost of a spell/trap discard, further fueling your GY with Runick spells. Silvera acts as a quick-play "book of the eclipse" setting facedown your opponent's entire field. Finally, Diabell recovers ANY spell/trap from the GY, while enabling a quick synchro during your opponent's turn! 

These white forest girls mean business, since they make synchro plays ridiculously easy whenever and wherever they are played. The amount of card advantage both strategies generate outpace most decks of the format in a prolonged grindgame, easily winning duels with a myriad of synchro-based interruptions. Diabellestar's "synchro" archetype certainly shows a lot of promise as a synchro engine - especially when it's paired up with a defensive powerhouse like Runick!
