| A Dona 3 stop deck list from Japan |
Previously I have talked about the possibilities of WIXOSS deckbuilding, how despite 5 years into the game already there may be many more new deck builds waiting to be discovered.
While there were some interesting new decks like the theoretically-strongest-Mayu and Jeanne-Ril 4 appearing recently, one particular deck caught my interest and made me decide to write about it: Dona 3 Stop.
How it works?
Basically, the goal of the deck is to turn Urban and Scutum into the apparition SIGNI class by using Hitodama, allowing them to inherit the layer abilities of apparition SIGNIs. With the way the deck is built, the lethal range can be as high as 7 life cloth and the entire combo can be done as early as turn 3, making this deck a very scary one to face off. We will now look at the different cards in-depth.
 |
| Hitodama, Phantom Apparition |
As explained above, it is just to turn non-apparition SIGNIs like Urban into apparition SIGNI in order to gain the layer abilities.
 |
| Fuurai, Phantom Apparition |
The core of the deck as expected is Fuurai, arguably the strongest apparition SIGNI in the game now. Its main purpose is to stack all the different layer effects in the deck in order to give cards like Urban and Scutum a wide range of immunity, potentially denying all of your opponent's response. Being a level 3 also helps a lot in field space as along with Urban and Scutum, you would just nice have a total SIGNI level of 8, not exceeding the limit you are allowed to board on level 3.
Layer effects Fuurai can copy includes:
Wanyuudou, Phantom Apparition
For down immunity, stopping ARTS or Key responses like Don't Leave Me.
To give everyone Lancer, allowing you to bypass responses that spawns into the field like Mage or Never End.
Azuara, Phantom Apparition
To pump up the power of low power SIGNIs so as to allow them to meet the requirements to gain Sunakake's Lancer effect. May need to copy her effect twice using Fuurai.
Nurari, Phantom Apparition Princess
For immunity against 5 cost or more ARTS/spell.
Koropo, Phantom Apparition
For immunity against 1 cost or less ARTS, stopping very common ARTS in the current meta like Happy 5 and Rolling Pencil.
Nue, Phantom Apparition Princess
To prevent Life Burst from stopping your combo.
In addition to Fuurai's own layer effect of preventing power change (therefore stopping minus power effects from destroying the combo), the entire field can become an unstoppable force, allowing you to safely execute your combo and win the match.
Baobaboon, Selecting Story, Pay Charging and Ghost Party are there to help you get a lot of ener in order to pay for Fuurai's effect multiple times. Ghost Party in particular is very useful as it also helps you dig your deck for Hitodama, Fuurai or the different apparition SIGNI you need to copy their effects using Fuurai.
 |
| Yukime, Key of Autumn Rain |
Yukime key helps disable Key responses for one turn, denying your opponent from using cheap LRIG responses to stop your combo. Can also search the deck for Hitodama, Fuurai or the different apparition SIGNI you need to copy their effects using Fuurai.
 |
| Aiyai★Deal |
Aiyai key essentially gives your SIGNI the ability to restand. It can be used to increase the lethal damage for a Fuurai-Urban-Scutum field from 6 to 8 or it can even be used as a backup in the event you did not pull of the combo for the first time. Remember, this deck only has 3 Exceed cards, meaning you can activate Aiyai key's effect ONCE only.
 |
| Spiritual Protection of the State |
Spiritual key essentially funds Fuurai ener spending while allowing you to salvage any of your key pieces like Scutum from trash. It is also used to give double crush to Urban easily in order to activate her restand effect.
 |
| Yuzuki Key, Prospering Flame |
Yuzuki key is there to burn of your opponent's ener, just in case they have weird color ener or barely enough ener to open 2-4 cost ARTS that can stop you.
 |
| Ayabon, Hand Grenade |
Ayabon is there if you failed to end your opponent the first time around. Her effect allows you to have a double crush SIGNI ready to combo with Urban after the first attempt.
 |
| Sanen, Phantom Apparition |
Sanen, for blocking early game damage and also possible +1 to hand.
 |
| Dwarf, Phantom Apparition |
Dwarf is there in case you need to push your opponent's life cloth lower so as to prevent cards like Gelatin Body or Circle of Transmigration from disrupting your lethal damage range.
Conclusion
So that is about it. Its a very interesting idea revolving around abusing Fuurai's ability to gain as many different layer effect as you want (or your ener can pay for). With this, Dona finally has a new build besides her standard level 5 build. Of course there are a few weakness that this deck has but I would leave it to you to think it through. With that, I look forward to what new ideas can players come up with, see you soon~
