Top Shop Tourney

So Top Shop seed tourney is starting soon.

Just when you thought theres no more tournament season for a while, Konami and Paul decides to surprise us.

Hmm many deck choices atm.

Initially i decided to keep the post short but i feel like i've been writing too many short posts. So just gonna share some things on my mind which could be obvious to you all already.

I could go with Chaos Dragons since im pretty sure people are gonna sideboard retarded cards against me. But many people are also playing the deck and its safe to say the game will be very luck based as in who resolves Future Fusion and Recharge and wont be skilled based unless i draw my Crows and Darkflare Dragons. Granted, from playing the deck and playing against the deck, i can say that resolving Future Fusion turn 1 doesnt 100% win you the game. Its still a solid 95% or more but sometimes your hand could be damn trashy or you could draw your 2 Wyverns and suddenly Future Fusion doesnt seem THAT good anymore.

Hieratics cos i could just borrow somebody's and i regard them as probably the best deck due to its consistency. But Hieratics weakness comes from the backrow and mindgames your opponents pose. If you fail to otk, chances are you'll lose straight. Hanzo Hieratic is the best choice but Hanzo is extinct in Malaysia true story.

Inzektors which im so so familiar with, but constructing the perfect sideboard for inzektor is very very hard. And quoting sazabi, i would need to pray to my bls. And learn to draw consistent hands.

Machina gadget could be good too cos nobody sides cyber dragon in malaysia. Its gonna be a solid deck choice but i would have to fork out 300 bucks which im not willing to do so in a dying game.

On a side note, food for thought: Is Solemn Warning worth running in a meta of Hieratics, 2.5k beatsticks (Machiina), Inzektor OTKs, and 5.3k beatsticks (chaos dragons) running around? Do share your thoughts.

Also, good luck to Karlo Bonillo who went 8-0 swiss in Phillipine WCQ for day 2 tomorrow. and others who made top 8 as well.

Well i would run solemn warning against the meta except for machina gadget, they will plus the next turn anyway. Controls meta decks off the field so they wont be able to establish their combos or even effects. Unless opponent shows you reborn or some limit reverse inzektors, then it is really useless @.@

No to Warning, not in this speedy game atm with nearly every deck having OTK potential.

Warning is also a terrible bad mid game top deck.

I'd say no for this meta, however I still run it because the ability to negate a summon is important to prevent cards like BLS, Chaos sorcerer and xyz from being revived from the graveyard at times. And since we do not have Royal Oppression at the moment.... So yea u get wad I mean
