But Rise of Bahamut then introduced [[https://shadowverse-portal.com/card/103324010 Piercing Rune]], allowing for an evolving Levi to combo with it and potentially take out ''three enemy followers'' for a total of 4 mana, an incredible shift in tempo that is difficult to recover from. Between 2 to 3 Crimson Sorceries, 3 Angelic Snipes, and 3 Piercing Runes, the Daria tempo deck possessed a total of 6 to 15 points of player damage coming off their spells alone, meaning an opponent's wards would only save them from about half the effort the Daria player needs to input on average.

** [[https://shadowverse-portal.com/card/101131020 Rhinoceroach]] is a consistent trump card of Forestcraft since the beginning of the game. A 2-mana 1/1 with Storm looks mediocre on paper, but its power scales according to the number of cards played that turn. Given Forestcraft's penchant for playing many cheap cards in a turn - some of them free with the use of the right cards - along with bouncing it with [[https://shadowverse-portal.com/card/101114010 Nature's Guidance]] to give it an additional attack with ''even more power'', the Roach combo became infamous for its ability to deliver large amounts of burst damage. This was taken UpToEleven with a deck named "Miracle Roach", which uses [[https://shadowverse-portal.com/card/103021020 Feena]] to create a free [[https://shadowverse-portal.com/card/103011030 Goblin Mage]] which can then search up a Rhinoceroach and basically ensure the combo goes off as early as turn 7 - and in extreme cases, defeats an undefended opponent at full health. The worst part is that it can be splashed into nearly every form of Forestcraft deck, meaning that as long as your opponent is playing Forestcraft, you are hardly safe from the Roach.
