But about Royal Oppression, there are some decks that can effectively run Oppression, and not fall prey to Breaker. Lyla, etc. What are your thoughts on Skill Drain and Oppression in the same deck?

I still see it being a valuable asset in the next format. Jae, can you give us more support behind Giant trunade? I still see it being a valuable asset in the next format.

I think it’s an immaculately designed card and COTH can only help its use. </i> I agree. Magic Planter is potent in Blackwing Decks, due to the synergy with both Skill Drain and Rivalry of Warlords. It should allow the Deck to run a decent amount of Monsters, while having lots of annoying Continuous. Even if you do suffer a Heavy Storm, the advantage generated through those Icarus Attacks and Black Whirlwind should allow you to recover, easily setting up more of those Continuous.

Why? The Loss of 2 Solemns has neutral implications for the card, because all things being equal as likely as your own Solemns would save it from destruction at a critical moment, your opponents Solemns would negate it at a critical moment. Simply put Solemn was as much of a bane to the card as it was a boon. As for the presence of 2 additional Breakers remember this is happening in the wake of the loss of 2 Cold Waves, which quite frankly were far more of an effective counter to the card. Breaker is far more susceptible to disruption and isn't nearly as effective at getting around Oppression. With all the chainable that are being played these days Breaker doesn't pack the punch it used to I have to say I have a different take on the viability of Royal Oppression under the new list, frankly I think it will actually fare slightly better.
