The “Sky Striker Ace” monsters circulate between each other.

During the End Phase, you add 1 “Sky Striker Ace” Spell Card from your Deck to your hand that doesn’t share the same name as a card in your GY.

Of Note:

We’ve decided to translate “Sentou” as “Strikeblade” rather than “Brandish”, feeling this better encapsulates the ‘feel’ of the theme over “Brandish” (basically aiming to express the (Strike) Fighter Jet and Sword elements of the theme)

“Fur Hire” Deck

“Beat, Bladesman Fur Hire”:
Add 1 Monster “Fur Hire” from your Deck to your hand!

Special Summon “Seal, Strategist Fur Hire” & “Donpa, Marksman Fur Hire” from the Hand

Donpa and Recon destroy cards
Seal and Helmer improve your hand

Bravo Special Summons High Level Monsters from the Hand

Your High Level Monsters Have Powerful Effects To Place Pressure On The Opponent!

It’s a monster that has an effect to add cards to your hand by excavating the top of your Deck, and by discarding 1 “Fur Hire” card from your hand, you use its powerful effect to negate the effects of opponent monsters!
