Keep an eye out for new items, traps, and stage cards as well, which will help fortify your strategy even further. In particular, we’d like to draw attention to the Longan Dragon Cookie, a formidable card that has been causing quite a stir in the Taiwan region lately.

Deck Intro
Let’s delve into what gives this BS6 Longan Dragon build its strength. Unlike most decks, this one utilizes just 19 cookie cards. Additionally, it employs 17 trap cards and 14 flip cards with +1 HP (Health Point) effects. You may remember from my beginner’s guide that decks typically require approximately 22 cookie cards for balanced gameplay.
It seems the low number is due to the unique ability of the Level 3 Hero Cookie in your deck. At the end of its turn, this Hero can draw two cards if there are two active support cards present. Instead of relying on flipping cards to draw, you now have a chance to draw more with just one or two Heroes.
Could you be questioning if starting a Level 3 cookie in a green deck early on could be risky? Contrary to what one might think, it’s not necessarily so. Equipped with an impressive 17 trap cards (some variations boast 20), this deck ensures your Hero Cookie is well-protected.
The Core Gameplan
Let’s focus on the Longan Dragon Cookie now. It has a unique feature: at the end of your turn, it deals 2 points of effect damage to an opponent’s cookie. Essentially, this allows you to inflict damage on the enemy’s setup without making a direct attack.
Skipping assaults allows you to accumulate all expenditures related to trap cards, as fuel is conserved in this manner. With two Longan Dragons on the battlefield, at the end of each turn, you inflict four points of damage that cannot be blocked, making it an effect rather than a direct attack. Since these effects are invulnerable to counteraction, it presents a significant challenge for your opponents.
The common link between Hero Cookie and Longan Dragon is the recently introduced stage card, the Longan Palace. This card facilitates efficient resource management and deck reshuffling. For instance, on Turn 4, you can engage with Hero Cookie, utilize the Longan Palace to discard a card, reactivate one support card, followed by drawing two new cards due to Hero Cookie’s effect. In the CookieRun: Braverse TCG, end-of-turn effects are triggered in the order chosen by the player. This allows for strategic prioritization between drawing or causing damage.
More Survivability
One concerning aspect of this deck lies in its utilization of reversible cards. When your adversary assumes you’ve exhausted your defensive options, these trap cards can unexpectedly reveal their protective side.
In most instances, green player decks consist of approximately 14 to 16 transformation cards, often referred to as flip cards. A significant number of these provide a bonus of +1 Health Point (HP), thereby increasing the Health of your Level 3 cookies to a maximum of 8 HP throughout the game. This substantial health boost significantly enhances the deck’s stability by providing additional resilience in its strategic design.
Where to Get Cards? and Closing
How do you think the English-speaking community will adapt to the Mono Green beast deck that is currently ruling the Taiwanese format? I’m curious to observe how the Southeast Asia region reacts to this potent strategy. Given that each region has unique bans and restrictions, I believe the meta will shift rapidly and distinctly in response.
For those not familiar with the topic, it’s worth noting that Korea, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia (SEA) have each devised unique ban lists for their competitive gaming landscape, resulting in intriguing variations in gameplay dynamics. Among them, Korea boasts the longest list of restrictions, whereas SEA stands out as it does not prohibit Rebel Cookie, Tiger Lily, or Crunchy Chip. At present, Taiwan imposes the least number of restrictions, though potential updates to their policies are anticipated soon.
As a passionate fan, I can’t help but notice how these region-specific cookie ban policies play a significant role in shaping the unique metagames for each area. With the excitement building towards the upcoming Cookie Run World Championship, it’s more important than ever to take regional variations into account when strategizing and preparing for this epic event.
It’s all done for our review on the CookieRun Braverse Operation Timeguard expansion! Don’t forget to drop by your local game store and pick up the newest cookies before they run out!
