Silver Contract

Silver Contract (銀契約；gin-keiyaku) is a family introduced in BS60, possessed exclusively by the Contract cards The PartnerMachine Stark and The MoonlightDragon Strike-Siegwurm, and the White cards with Contract Advent in the same set. The family is a representation to the contract which the wanderer Dan made with Stark in the lore, and since all the White cards with Contract Advent are technically a variant of Stark's power, they have the Silver Contract family as well.
== Play Style ==
As currently all cards in this family are either a Contract card or a White card with Contract Advent, the deck highly revolves around the Advent mechanic. As part of the new series after the age of Rebirth cards, it also plays around high numbers of counters to differentiate themselves from the previous cards. Cards in this family are also always paired with the Silver Zero family, often along with a tertiary family which is mostly irrelevant to the play style of the deck, so the play style may overlap with other Silver Zero family cards. On the other hand, a lot of effects from the Silver Zero family cards also reference Stark.
A bit similar to a Demeter deck, the end game of the Silver Contract deck revolves around attacking with a lot of Spirits that are double-symbol and unblockable, especially through the effect of The AuroraMobile Super-Stark. It is advised to always put The PartnerMachine Stark in the starting hand, so that the player may have an unremovable Advent base for the Advent cards in the deck, as well as adding counters and more cores early on through the effects of Stark. Also, due to the Advent conditions of the Silver Contract family cards, they are limited to only capable of adventing onto Stark or each other. With Stark's "once per game" effect, the player can also actively activate their Silver Zero family Burst, allowing more removals and more counter boost. As the effect is soft once per game, meaning each copy of Stark can activate the effect once, this effect can be activated roughly three times during a game, which provides a lot more flexibility.
As a White deck, it is quite reactive in gaining resources and building up counters. As such, there is a need to fall back to a defensive strategy. Fortunately, the deck does provide such options, as there are at least two cards which can disallow opposing spirits to attack. Cold Azure and The IceDuchess Ryutia also provide Heavy Armor of Red/White/Yellow/Blue to other Spirits. The deck also has a few options for Burst, and Advent cards provide removal with almost no conditions. BS61 introduced The DinosaurMobile Rex-Stark, which greatly increased the speed and firepower of the deck, as Rex-Stark could search for a Burst card and setting it at the same time, and also adding counters. Pairing with The PartnerMachine Stark's effect to force activate own's Burst, it allows the deck for an early aggressive and control play. 
Player is advised to advent the finisher Super-Stark when they are at eight counters or more, so that it can activate its Over Count effect to discard the opponent's hand, giving them fewer choices of defence or comeback for next turn if they ever survive. As the deck itself does not have anti-end-step effects, if unfortunately enough the assault can be stopped by Burst Wall, which the Revival version is unaffected in hand. As such, it is an option to add a few Brave cards in the deck for more symbols in one attack. Alternatively, Magic negation such as The AccelTenthBird AirEraser can also counter Burst Wall. A secondary finisher this deck can have is The GreatIceGiantBeast Yetika-Erakes, which can use the high counters to activate its Count Break for life burn.
As mentioned above, some cards in the deck do provide Heavy Armor, but they do not cover Purple or Green, so player can consider adding Illusion Demon-God or Machine Beast Demon-God for more Armor options.
