Introduction

Welcome everyone! Today we’re diving into my take on the yellow aggressive deck in The Vibes TCG. This deck holds a special place in my heart as it’s the first deck I ever built and the one I piloted to reach the coveted Dummy Thick rank. In this guide, we’ll cover the deck’s composition, mulligan strategies, and overall gameplay strategy. We’ll also take a look at some gameplay footage to see how the deck performs in action.


Deck Composition

The Loffee Yellow Aggro deck is all about speed, card draw, and quickly overwhelming your opponent. The goal is to hit 15 cards as quickly as possible while maintaining pressure with a wide board of penguins. Here's a breakdown of the deck’s components:

Card Draw Package

Card draw is critical in this deck to reach 15 cards quickly. The following cards make up the core of the draw engine:

  • Prepare for a Wild NightCard preview (4x): One of the strongest draw cards in the game, capable of drawing multiple actions depending on your deck composition. The deck includes five actions and eight penguins, which is the optimal balance for maximizing this card’s potential.

  • Check the Yellow PagesCard preview (4x): Draws the top three cards of your deck and lets you keep all yellow penguins among them. This card works perfectly with the deck’s heavy yellow penguin count.

  • Penguin Who Might Bring a Plus OneCard preview (4x): An excellent draw tool, especially for low-cost penguins. This card shines when used with penguins costing two fish or less.

  • Penguin Who ZoomsCard preview (4x): A key synergy piece that allows you to return Penguin Who Might Bring a Plus OneCard preview to your hand, enabling repeated use for additional draws.

Removal Package

While this deck avoids using too much removal to stay aggressive, some situations call for it:

  • Daydreaming PenguinCard preview (4x): A cheap, effective tool for removing smaller threats while doubling as a yellow penguin.

  • Not Your KeysCard preview (4x): Unconditional removal that allows you to ice any problematic penguin.

Penguin Package

The penguins in this deck are focused on maximizing early aggression and efficiently utilizing resources:

  • Flying PenguinCard preview (4x): A cheap one-fish penguin that helps establish early board presence and pressure.

  • Penguin Who's Late to the PartyCard preview (4x): A flexible card that functions as a finisher in the late game or a solid mid-game option.

  • Pot-Stirring PenguinCard preview (4x) and Yellow Wizard PenguinCard preview (4x): These two penguins produce two Pudge each, enabling consistent access to your action cards.

Finishers

The deck runs two powerful finishers:

  • Buddy UpCard preview (4x): Arguably the strongest finisher in the game, it provides a global Vibe boost that is difficult for opponents to counter. Its only major weakness is Green Mega PenguinCard preview.

  • Put Your Flippers in the AirCard preview (4x): A single-target finisher that can push a penguin’s Vibes to astronomical levels, often hitting 20 or more.

Flexible Slot

For the final slot, the deck runs Penguin of the Falling LeavesCard preview (4x). This card works well in both early and late-game scenarios and synergizes with both finishers. Alternatively, you can consider Gotam if you’re facing decks with critical low-Vibe penguins like Ascending PenguinCard preview or Popcorn PenguinCard preview.

Budget Substitutions

The only rare card in the deck is Penguin Who Might Bring a Plus OneCard preview. If you don’t have all four copies, you can substitute with Mysterious PenguinCard preview. While slower, it provides pseudo-removal and serves as an additional yellow penguin for Check the Yellow PagesCard preview.


Mulligan Guide

When mulliganing, the key is to prioritize:

  1. Early Card Draw: Look for Flying PenguinCard preview and Check the Yellow PagesCard preview to set up your game plan.

  2. Avoiding Finishers: Always mulligan away Buddy UpCard preview and Put Your Flippers in the AirCard preview. These cards are only useful in the late game.

  3. Pudge Generators: If you already have card draw, consider keeping Pot-Stirring PenguinCard preview or Yellow Wizard PenguinCard preview to ensure you can play your actions efficiently.


Strategy Overview

The Loffee Yellow Aggro deck is highly aggressive, aiming to overwhelm opponents with a constant flow of penguins and actions. Here are some key points to keep in mind:

  1. Play Fast: Your primary goal is to hit 15 cards quickly. Play penguins, draw cards, and keep the pressure on.

  2. Assume They Don’t Have It: Often, you’ll need to play as if your opponent doesn’t have the perfect counter. For example, don’t let the possibility of Yum YumCard preview stop you from committing to a win.

  3. Plan Your Finishers: Use Buddy UpCard preview for wide boards and Put Your Flippers in the AirCard preview for single-target bursts. Be mindful of potential counters like Not Your KeysCard preview.

  4. Lose Early Vibe Checks: This deck prefers to lose early vibe checks to maximize draw potential. Only pivot to winning vibe checks in the late game.


Gameplay Example

Opening Hand:

You’re looking for Flying PenguinCard preview and Check the Yellow PagesCard preview. Avoid keeping finishers or expensive penguins unless your hand already has sufficient card draw.

  • Turn 2: Deploy Flying PenguinCard preview or Penguin Who Might Bring a Plus OneCard preview for early board presence and draw.

  • Turn 3: Start building Pudge with Pot-Stirring PenguinCard preview or Yellow Wizard PenguinCard preview.

Mid-Game:

  • Focus on playing your card draw actions (Prepare for a Wild NightCard preview and Check the Yellow PagesCard preview).

  • Establish a wide board with low-cost penguins like Flying PenguinCard preview and Penguin Who ZoomsCard preview.

Late Game:

  • Once you hit 14 cards, play Buddy UpCard preview or Put Your Flippers in the AirCard preview to close out the game.

  • Be mindful of counters like Yum YumCard preview or Not Your KeysCard preview.


Closing Thoughts

The Loffee Yellow Aggro deck is an excellent choice for players looking to climb the ladder quickly. Its linear playstyle, fast games, and high win rate make it a strong contender for competitive play. While it has some weaknesses, particularly against board clears, its strengths lie in its speed and consistency.
