Great Nature Battle Strategies

Mulligan (Starting Cards)

   - Any Grade 1 Card (G1) = Keep x1 or x2, to ensure a Grade 1 Vanguard and for skill effects. Preferably, keep Hammsuke (G1) but get another Grade 1 card to avoid riding it.
   - Any Grade 2 Cards (G2) = Keep x1 or x2, to ensure a Grade 2 Vanguard (except Melodica Cat (G2). Preferably, keep Binoculus Tiger (G2).
   - Battler of the Twin Brush, Polaris (G3) = Keep x1 to ensure a Grade 3 Vanguard.

   - School Hunter, Leo-pald (G3) = Keep x1 if you did not get Polaris (G3).
   - Cable Sheep (G1) = Keep at least x1 (optional).

Basic Battle Strategies

   - This deck build will focus on re-enforcing columns to increase Power while activating certain skills to generate a good draw source. Managing resources is the real challenge here depending on the cards you have in hand and the current situation.
   - TIP: Plan ahead before dropping cards to the field and using skills to avoid misplays.

   - Early on, use your "Tiger" cards' skill effects to target "Hammsuke" cards to draw cards. Use them to attack as well if possible since they got buffed up.
   - Also use your FV and Coiling Duckbill (G1) to help draw more cards (target "Hammsuke" cards for example, then use any card effect (use "Tiger" cards) that would retire them during your End Phase.
   - Drawing cards is great early on but don't overdo it though, make sure you have room in hand in case you get Draw Triggers for example.

   - You can ride Leo-pald (G3) first and use it's skill to help retire your rear-guards when needed, then re-ride Polaris (G3) later on. Riding straight to Polaris (G3) and using Leo-pald (G3) as a rear guard for combos is also good.

How To Use Battler of the Twin Brush, Polaris (G3)

Battler of the Twin Brush, Polaris (G3)Vocal Chicken (G3)Melodica Cat (G2)
   - (VC): LB4 When this unit attacks a Vanguard, CB1 to stand 1 of your rear-guards, and that unit gets +4,000 Power until end of turn. At the end of that turn, retire that unit.

   - Use this to do multi attacks with buffed up columns! Good finisher as well especially when your opponent got 1 life left.
   - Target Grade 3 or Grade 1 cards (front), avoid using it to your Grade 2 or Booster cards unless needed (like during a potential final turn event, or when you need to retire a specific card to activate effects).
   - TIP: Similar to "Tiger" cards, this skill works really great with Vocal Chicken (G3) to call an intercept card from your deck!

How To Use School Hunter, Leo-pald (G3)

   - This is useful to retain your units, especially Intercepts, in-case you don't have other viable targets for your buff+retire skills.
   - TIP: Do not use this skill to your Compass Lion (G2), skill would still take effect.

   - (VC/RC): When it attacks, you may have 1 of your other rear-guards get +4,000 Power until end of turn. At the end of that turn, retire that unit.
