Sadly due to the banning of Child of the Light Moon and the murder of the Homeland mechanic the deck became more vulnerable and a turn slower. ____________________________________
A very agressive Combo deck that's usually reaching Union Seven on turn 3 and wins that turn. (Now turn 3 due to Homeland being a dead mechanic)
Agressively Mulligan to get "Wall of Terror" and "Dexia's Advice" or "Gatekeeper of Vell-Savaria" and "Dexia's Advice" into your starting hand. If you start with "Gatekeeper of Vell-Savaria" it's fine to ditch your hand to it's Enter ability to draw into a "Dexia's Advice" if you have not drawn one, make sure to discard any Olympians in hand that are not Athena, Hestia or Magna & Lenneth.
On turn 1 you can play "Birth of the Twin Princes" via Mastery to dig even deeper into your deck.
Once you recover on Turn 2 you no longer have access to 3 will with "Eternal, Artifical Archipelago" not being available any more. So you gotta play your "Dexia's Advice" with Awakening (of course) on turn 3. What you want to grab is: "Poseidon, the Second Olympian" and "Apollon, the Third Olympian" for the Water Chant you will grab "Invitation to Valhalla"
With "Invitation to Valhalla" you will remove 4 different Olympians to outside the game. Next Poseidon and Apollon will enter with Union Seven as long as you have Discarded an Olympian with "Wall of Terror" or removed one with the Gatekeeper before.
Now you draw 3 and put one of the following into the field: Hestia, the Sixth Olypian Athena, the Seventh Olympian Magna and Lenneth, the Twelfth Olympians
Congratulations, your opponent is now dead.
Athena first deals 1600 dmg to your opponent and on attack 2900 to their face and their board and follow with the 2900 attack.
Hestia gives your Olympians Swiftness and deals 1500 damage to your opponent and 1000 to their board. While you have 3 Olympians with over 1000 ATK each on the field.
Magna & Lenneth's Enter ability will also be over 4000 damage.
Keep in mind Poseidon has two seperate Enter abilities, so even if your opponent counters the draw 3 and put into field the other is seperate and you can just bounce Poseidon itself into your hand and do it again if you have will left or do it the turn after.
The biggest problem the deck can run into is you drawing both of your "invitation to Valhalla" and your opponent slamming down a "Witch of the Fallen Kingdom", thus making your Dexia's Advice useless. Otherwise it's doing fine against most decks. The "Brad package" US-players like to use barely hinders the deck [no longer a thing due to Brad-ban] and a scary Turn 1 Abdul can be shot via a Persephone in the grave or by sideboarding a "Child of the Darkness Moon" in.
In comparison the other variants of the deck, Loki or Asuka (R.I.P Asuka), are too slow and will not be able to deal with it.
