@@Wslasher Take as little damage as possible in the early game. Getting damage triggers is key to surviving their first stride turn. Depending on whether or not they choose to run Genkai you can also also leave your field empty going first since Shiranui cannot call a unit from drop the turn it is ridden. The deck also runs quite a few g3s and g4 so they could end up with a phantom hand that you can burst down
Lianorn has been a great meta threat ever since she actually got a finisher, im glad to see so kuch effort put into these ttpes of videos that are ACTUALLY informational and helpful!
Personally, the Masque package feels more bricky than it should and going first is pretty much entirely dead. And having played Magnolia since forever I'd prefer to not have to run major bricks that are often dead in hand for the chance that they get to work some times. Yeah the ceiling is better but the clunkiness is also higher and it's not like base OG Lianorn's turn 3 is a dead turn going second with Rosarium and Resonance.
