Card Details
Character Background
Staryu from Skyridge is a straightforward Basic Water attacker that fits best into a tempo-oriented or light control game plan: it comes down early, pressures the opponent with two efficient 10-damage attacks, and can occasionally disrupt their turn with Confuse Ray. That mix makes it more useful than a pure filler Basic, especially in decks that want to keep the opponent guessing while they set up stronger Water evolutions. Because both attacks are cheap and immediate, Staryu rewards decks that value flexible opening turns and prize-trading rather than slow, defensive play. It pairs well with Water acceleration or recovery cards that let you recycle small Basics, and it also benefits from any deck that can capitalize on Confusion by forcing awkward retreat decisions. In practice, Staryu is best when used as an early-board stabilizer and nuisance attacker, buying time for your main threats to take over.
