Expert Analysis & Strategy
Strategic Overview
Vander Decken IX (OP06-033) is a powerful specialized removal tool for Green decks. His [On Play] ability to K.O. any rested character for just 2 cost is exceptionally high value, even considering the discard requirement. He turns every rested threat on the opponent's board into a liability, making it dangerous for them to attack or use [Activate:Main] abilities.
His synergy with "The Ark Noah" allows for more consistent removal, but his primary use is simply trashing a surplus Fish-Man from your hand to delete an opponent's 4, 5, or even 8-cost character. He is the ultimate "punisher" for aggressive players who leave their characters vulnerable.
Key Strategic Synergies
- Hody Jones (Leader): The Leader effect can rest a character, which Vander Decken IX then immediately K.O.s. This is the core control loop of the deck.
- Hyouzou (OP06-034): Hyouzou rests a 4-cost or less character, providing a perfect target for Vander Decken IX in the mid-game.
- The Ark Noah (OP06-039): Reduces the cost of Vander Decken's removal by providing a permanent source of fuel on the field.
Pro Strategy Tip: Keep Vander Decken in your hand until the opponent drops a high-cost blocker or attacker. Use your rest effects first to force them into a vulnerable state, then clear them for only 2 DON!!.
