Expert Analysis

Strategic Overview

Kouzuki Hiyori (EB01-013) is a pivotal 4-cost Character for Green Land of Wano decks, offering unparalleled tempo and card cycling. Despite her 0 power, her [Activate:Main] effect allows you to trash her to play any Land of Wano Character card with a cost of 5 or less (excluding herself) from your hand, and then draw 1 card. This effect is a pure value engine, enabling you to cheat out powerful characters early, trigger their [On Play] effects, and maintain hand advantage. She effectively transforms a 4-cost card into a free play of another character plus a draw, accelerating your board development significantly.

Key Strategic Synergies

  • Momonosuke (OP06-009): Hiyori can play this 4-cost Land of Wano character, who then searches for another Land of Wano card, creating an incredible chain of value and board presence.
  • Yamato (OP06-013): Playing this 5-cost Land of Wano character with Hiyori allows you to immediately trigger Yamato's powerful [On Play] effect to return an opponent's character to hand, providing significant disruption while drawing a card.
  • Kozuki Oden (OP06-016): Hiyori can play this 5-cost Land of Wano character, whose [On Play] effect gives +2000 power to up to two of your characters, enabling a strong offensive push or protecting your board.

💡 Pro Strategy Tip

Use Hiyori to cheat out high-impact 5-cost Land of Wano characters like Yamato (OP06-013) or Oden (OP06-016) early in the game. The draw effect ensures you don't lose hand advantage, making her a pure tempo gain.

How to Counter

As Hiyori's effect is [Activate:Main], she cannot be directly countered by event cards that target effects. The best counter is to apply aggressive pressure to the opponent's life and board, forcing them to use their resources defensively rather than setting up Hiyori's tempo plays.
