Battle City/Skyarrow Bridge in Durant

[RottingAwesome]

I was thinking about Battle City and it seems like it could be a decent option, given that your opponent will most likely not want to put less cards in their deck while you would only benefit from drawing more cards.

The only problem I can see is that a card in their hand, should they choose to use the effect of battle city, is much worse than a card in their discard. Not only could they use it to increase the chance of setting up faster against Durant, but they could also use it to get cards in their hand and use PONT or N late game, refilling their deck.


I think skyarrow is mostly opinion, whether or not you want to give your opponent that one less retreat in exchange for retreat with Durant

Thoughts on both?

Skyarrow is atrocious in Durant, with so many basics in the format most of what you are catchering up to stall will be gaining benefit from your stadium. Battle City is decent because nobody will want to draw an extra card. The chance that you topdeck something incredibly useful is not very reliable and it will build up by the end. By the same logic, it's not really great for you either because it's 50/50 for an extra draw, which is good, but not gamebreaking. Play 1 Battle City if you want to play something because it can counter your opponents stadiums and does benefit you more overall, but it's not going to change many matches.
