D-Standard Format:
Star-select Sorceress is an offensive unit for Sorceress. She provides a much needed punch for the deck. This unit can obtain a high level of power with her abilities and the abilities of supportive units.
Star-select Sorceress is a card for the main deck. Her abilities activate when she is a rear-guard. She requires your vanguard to have Sorceress in its name.
First Ability:
Star-select Sorceress allows you to draw a card if your vanguard has Sorceress in its name when you place her on the field. In addition, this unit gains 5,000 power if your vanguard is grade three or greater until the end of the turn. The cost of this ability is three energies. You are gaining a card to replace her in your hand. Your field now has a rear-guard with a sizable amount of power.
Therefore, Star-select Sorceress becomes a rear-guard with 15,000 power due to this ability. She can hit an opponent’s unit without a boost. You can create a strong column with this rear-guard.
In addition, the ability to draw a card fits the theme of Sorceress. The archetype has cards such as Sector Streak Sorceress and Verticalong Sorceress to manipulate the deck. Star-select Sorceress allows you to draw the top card of the deck after you have manipulated the deck to your advantage.
For instance, Sector Streak Sorceress allows you to look at the top two cards of the deck for the cost of sending this grade one unit to the soul. Then, Sector Streak Sorceress allows you to place the two cards in any order on top of the deck. Then, you may call Star-select Sorceress to draw the top card of the deck.
Furthermore, this ability has a manageable cost. You gain three energy at the start of your ride phase. You can consistently activate this ability of Star-select Sorceress.
Second Ability:
Star-select Sorceress gains power and manipulates the deck with her second ability. Star-select Sorceress looks at the top card of the deck when she is chosen by an ability of your grade three vanguard with Sorceress in its name. You have the option to place the card on top of the deck or send it to the soul. This grade two unit gains 5,000 power.
Furthermore, Star-select Sorceress manipulates the deck for your advantage. Sorceress wants triggers on top of the deck for drive checks. You view the top card of the deck. You may send a normal unit to the soul or keep a trigger on top of the deck.
In addition, this ability offers multiple strategies. For example, the top card of the deck may be a heal trigger. You can keep this heal trigger on top of the deck when your amount of damage is equal to or greater than the opponent’s amount of damage. You will be able to heal damage when you reveal the heal trigger during a drive check or damage check.
For instance, Hexaorb Sorceress may choose Star-select Sorceress for her first ability. Hexaorb Sorceress selects one of your rear-guards, and adds 10,000 power to that unit when your drive check reveals a trigger. Your rear-guard becomes a powerful unit and can pressure the opponent in battle. The total power of Star-select Sorceress becomes 30,000 with both of her abilities and the ability of Hexaorb Sorceress.
Support:
Star-select Sorceress is a good fit with Sorceress because her abilities complement the archetype. Grade three vanguards such as Hexaorb Sorceress and Hexaorb Sorceress, “Aquamarine” consistently trigger her second ability. You can create powerful combos with this rear-guard.
Hexaorb Sorceress, “Aquamarine” and Star-select Sorceress have stellar synergy. These units create a burst of offense during your turn. Hexaorb Sorceress, “Aquamarine” chooses and stands Star-select Sorceress for a second battle during the turn. Hexaorb Sorceress, “Aquamarine” triggers this rear-guard’s second ability. Star-select Sorceress is standing with 20,000 power if you activated both of her abilities and this grade two rear-guard pressures the opponent with two battles.
In addition, Verticalong Sorceress is an effective rear-guard in the back row of the same column with Star-select Sorceress. This grade one unit stands herself when your rear-guard in the same column stands itself. Star-select Sorceress can put a lot of pressure on the opponent when Verticalong Sorceress is in the back row and Hexaorb Sorceress, “Aquamarine” as your vanguard. This grade one unit will boost this grade two rear-guard in both battles. Therefore, Star-select Sorceress has 28,000 power with a boost from Verticalong Sorceress in the second battle.

Premium Format:
Star-select Sorceress is a legal card for the United Sanctuary in the premium format. This unit requires a deck with Sorceress because both of her abilities require your vanguard to have Sorceress in its name. You may play this card with G-Units from clans such as Genesis and Oracle Think Tank.
However, Star-select Sorceress has limitations in the premium format. You only have access to her second ability. Her first ability requires three energy for the cost, but the premium format does not have energy. It is not possible to pay the cost. You are only increasing a portion of this unit’s power.
G-Units from Oracle Think Tank are some of the best cards for Sorceress in the premium format. The clan has the same theme as Sorceress. Star-select Sorceress has synergy with the generic G-Units from Oracle Think Tank.
For instance, Happiness Gathering Dragon King can superior call Star-select Sorceress from the top cards of the deck. This G-Unit reveals top cards of the deck equal to the number of your face up cards in the G-Zone plus two. In addition, this G-Unit activates the effects of triggers revealed from this ability. Therefore, Happiness Gathering Dragon King superior calls Star-select Sorceress and you may increase her power with the effects of triggers revealed from this ability.

Matchups: Weaknesses
Star-select Sorceress has a few flaws. This card does not have any inherent protections. Control decks will target this card after the turn when you played her. Opponents want to remove the advantages from this grade two unit. Archetypes such as Aurora Battle Princess and Star-vader can counter Star-select Sorceress.
For instance, the Star-vaders from Link Joker remove your access to Star-select Sorceress on your next turn. The Star-vaders can lock this grade two unit. You will not be able to unlock this card until the end of your next turn. You will lose the offensive advantages from her second ability and lose access to this unit’s rear-guard circle.
In addition, Aurora Battle Princess may remove your access to Star-select Sorceress. Units from this archetype may imprison this grade two unit in a prison. You must pay a cost to regain this unit but Aurora Battle Princess, Seraph Clearlight does not allow you to activate the auto abilities of this card for the turn.
Card Rating:
Overall, Star-select Sorceress lives up to her name. This grade two unit is an offensive powerhouse for Sorceress. You can create a strong column with this unit. Star-select Sorceress has amazing synergy with Hexaorb Sorceress and Hexaorb Sorceress, “Aquamarine”. Therefore, I recommend playing a full set of Star-select Sorceress in your deck.
