PLURRAL
PLURRAL is a high risk, high reward deck that revolves around swarming and wiping itself in the early game to gain its powerful Bliss conditional. Though self-wiping to achieve Bliss can result in a loss of tempo early on, PLURRAL can rely on its strong effects like those of Excited Bouncer, Bloxburg Under Siege, and more to establish a board state and bring itself back into the game. In particular, PLURRAL boasts excellent draw power thanks to its Unburden action and Brometheus, Haunted; these in turn allow PLURRAL to reliably access its game-winning topends. Of note for topends, Fl00fy_Bonez is often a massive tempo swing, and Despair Surgery, despite its nerfs, is still one of the game's most powerful OTK tools. PLURRAL also enjoys including a small Babylon package, as Babylon Accumulator is a fantastic 1-drop that searches another Babylon on death, and Babylon Recycler is excellent at both proccing Bliss and ramping green. Despite the power contained in PLURRAL's Bliss effects, it can be very susceptible to being interrupted before it can set up. Haste cards such as Halo4master or Soybeen can prevent PLURRAL from having enough fighters to fulfill the Bliss conditional, and bread from cards like Langz and Redrune Raiders can be similarly devastating. The difference between going first and second can also be a huge factor for the deck's success, as going first (and thus being unable to attack first) usually requires that PLURRAL open a self-wiper such as Cothran Guerrillas or Tempted by Redemption in order to achieve Bliss in a timely manner. Furthermore, against other powerful decks that can maintain a strong board state, the loss of tempo from self-wiping for Bliss can put PLURRAL on the back foot for the rest of the game. Although its shortcomings make PLURRAL too inconsistent to stand at the top of the metagame, it should never be counted out of a game due to its topends. So long as it has Bliss, PLURRAL is capable of winning against almost anything.
