These DUAL-ELEMENT Decks Are SICK! Grand Archive's Meta After SEA Nats! || Recollection Step 31
Dan and Taylor explore 3 DUAL ELEMENT decks that have seen some success in Regionals in Grand Archive's current metagame! We look at LostApple's Fortuitous Wind Nico, ShaunDaSheep1's Fire Rebuke Slice and Dice Vanitas, and Kitsumeow's Fire Aggro Mill Nico! All of these decks were able to take wins against top decks in the format, making them ripe for further exploration in a direction few players have been willing to dive into!
Additionally, we do a brief overview of some of the meta adaptations we've seen since SEA Nats. Midrange Assassin makes its move and contends well with Burst Asunder!

How Do You Build a Grand Archive Deck? What's Beating Burst Asunder? || Recollection Step 30
Dan and Taylor answer a hefty mailbag question about how to build effective Grand Archive decks, then dive into some basic meta chat about the still fairly aggressive metagame! What's actually taking wins against Burst Asunder and what else can we expect from the Nationals metagame?
This was recorded before SEA Nats, and since then we've seen the rise of Luxem! I'm sure we'll discuss that more in the next episode!
