How to play

Starting off the game you have a lot of high power level 0's to gain stock with once you have started to build up stock you can start your level 1 game early with Suguha, Supprorting Big Brother which changes into her level 1 Suguha, Kirito's Little Sister and can use her climax combo to cheat even more level 1's on too your field. Also you have a some nice techs in Kirito, Waiting Out Rain which you can use too beat over your opponents level 0 reverse's and Kazuto, Challenging "ALO" which is good to get rid of pesky cards later in the game.

Your level 1 game in this deck is very simple try and gain stock by attacking and use Kirito, "Spriggan" Youth's "Brainstorm" ability to fill your hand while using Suguha, Kirito's Little Sister to fill your field. Leafa, Girl of Virtual World is probably your best target to pull from the deck with Suguha, Kirito's Little Sister ability. "The Seed" can be used to keep your cards alive or use it to beat over you opponents strong cards while Kirito, Unwavering Determination and get it back from the waiting room.

At Level 2 you will still be using mostly 1's while looking to replace your back row with
Leafa, "Sylph" Expert and using Kazuto, Encounter with MMO to change into your level 3 Kirito, "Dual Wield" Demon.

Finally level 3 your going to want to play 1-2 of your other level 3 characters with heal and 1 "Navigation Pixie" Yui which you can use with its climax combo Reunion with Yui too put your opponents characters on the bottom of their deck stopping them from encoring strong characters while also making it easier to push for game. Leafa & Suguha, Virtual And Reality also has strong synergy with Leafa, "Sylph" Expert because of her climax combo with Fairy Dance you will refill your hand with cards to encore with.

Meta Viability

Only taking English meta into account this is actually very strong deck not as strong as mixing in set 1 but really not that far off. Your level 1 game is really strong and you have option though levels 2 and 3 to keep up with other strong decks.

The only real deck that your going to have any problems with is kill la kill since they can run anti-heal but you can always chose not to heal. Also any deck running bounce will slow you down but won't stop you that much.

So in conclusion even though its hard to get set 1 there are still a ton of awesome decks you can build with just set 2 alone. Also just enjoy the feeling of placing all your opponents best characters on the bottom of their decks!
