Today is the release day for the new set of starters for Gundam Card Game. Many are expecting these starter decks to shake up the meta and bring more variety in decks. So far it seems that ST12 and ST13 seem to be the decks that people are looking for the most. But, good luck finding your decks and hope you see you out there!
ST11 – Aquatic Assault
Char's Z'Gok
ST11-001
UnitBlueLR
Level: 4Cost: 3AP: 3HP: 3
ZeonMarine
【During Pair】While 2 or more other friendly (Marine) Units are in play, enemy Units can't choose this Unit as their attack target.
【Deploy】If another friendly (Marine) Unit is in play, choose 1 enemy Unit that is Lv.2 or lower. Return it to the bottom of its owner's deck.
Mobile Suit Gundam
ST11 brings out the marine units and brings in a lot of synergy with them. If Char’s Z’Gok has some friends with it, then he’s got some body guards, and you can bounce a weanie to the bottom of their deck.
Shamblo
ST11-006
UnitPurpleLR
Level: 6Cost: 5AP: 4HP: 5
ZeonMarine
If another friendly (Marine) Unit is in play at the start of your opponent's turn, during this turn, when a friendly shield area card receives enemy effect damage, reduce it by 5.
【Deploy】Choose 1 (Marine) Unit card from your trash. Add it to your hand.
Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn
Shamblo is here to protect the player with its damage reduction to the shield area. It also lets you bring back a Marine unit from the trash so you can get that protection on the opponent’s next turn.
ST12 – Raging Onslaught
Gundam Epyon
ST12-001
UnitRedLR
Level: 7Cost: 6AP: 5HP: 5
White Fang
【During Pair・Lv.5 or Higher Pilot】During your turn, when this Unit destroys an enemy Unit with damage, deal 2 damage to all enemy Units with 5 or less AP.
【Deploy】Choose 1 enemy Base. Deal 5 damage to it.
Mobile Suit Gundam Wing
Red looks like it is getting some nice pieces with the ST12 Raging Onslaught deck championed by a fan-favorite, Epyon. Epyon lets you deal 5 damage to a base on deploy, but also while paired if you destroy a Unit, deal ping damage to units with less than 6 AP. Everyone thinks this will be the one to look for. But don’t sleep on it’s partner the Banshee Norn Destroy Mode with it’s highly adaptable effect.
Unicorn Gundam 02 Banshee (Destroy Mode)
ST12-006
UnitPurpleLR
Level: 6Cost: 5AP: 5HP: 4
Earth Federation
【During Pair】【Activate・Main】Exile 4 cards in your trash from the game:This Unit gains <First Strike> during this turn.
【Activate・Action】Exile 4 cards in your trash from the game:This Unit gains <Suppression> during this battle.
Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn
ST13 – Silent Barrage
Qubeley
ST13-001
UnitGreenLR
Level: 7Cost: 5AP: 5HP: 5
Neo Zeon
【Once per Turn】During your turn, when you pair a Pilot with one of your Units, deploy 1 to 2 [Bit / Funnel]((Long-Range Weapon)・AP2・HP2・This Unit can't be paired with a Pilot or attack) Unit tokens.
【Activate・Main】【Once per Turn】1:Choose 1 of your Unit tokens and 1 enemy Unit. Begin a battle between them and only perform the damage step.
Mobile Suit Z Gundam
Be aware of funnels! Qubeley comes rushing in to deploy funnels and go straight to damage with them. While the tokens on their own seem pointless, being able to send them out and avoid blockers can come in pretty useful. Have you heard of the new support combo everyone is talking about? Buster Gundam with Nena Trinity activate Support 5 add it to a funnel and you have a 7AP missile!
Gundam Aerial
ST13-006
UnitRedLR
Level: 6Cost: 5AP: 5HP: 4
Academy
【During Pair】【Attack】If you are attacking the enemy player, choose 1 enemy Unit. Deal 2 damage to it.
【Activate・Action】【Once per Turn】Rest 1 friendly Unit:Choose 1 enemy Unit that is Lv.4 or lower. Deal 1 damage to it.
Mobile Suit Gundam the Witch from Mercury
Qubeley’s partner in crime Aerial is no slouch either. Aerial lets you attack the opponent and still deal ping damage to a unit (rested or not) and an extra Action effect to ping 1 if you rest a friendly unit like a funnel.
ST14 – Heavy Dominion
The-O
ST14-001
UnitWhiteLR
Level: 9Cost: 8AP: 6HP: 7
TitansJupitris
<Suppression> (Damage to Shields by an attack is dealt to the first 2 cards simultaneously.)
Each enemy player's rested Units with the lowest Lv. won't be set as active during the start phase of their turn.
Mobile Suit Z Gundam
The-O hits the shields hard with it’s suppression and also keeps the lowest level unit from Readying on the opponent’s next turn, that should slow their tempo!
Full Armor Unicorn Gundam (Destroy Mode)
ST14-006
UnitGreenLR
Level: 8Cost: 6AP: 3HP: 6
Civilian
【Deploy】Look at the top 3 cards of your deck. You may reveal a number of cards equal to the number of enemy players among them and add them to your hand. Return the remaining cards randomly to the bottom of your deck.
【During Pair】【Once per Turn】When this Unit would receive battle damage from an enemy Unit with AP equal to or less than it, it doesn't receive that damage.
Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn
The Full Armor Unicorn Gundam is helping you filter some cards to get that one you are looking for, but once it gets a pilot, its protected from a battle’s damage once per turn.
