Ranking Tourney Results

Kl Sunday Ranking Results

1st place- Sean
deck used- chaos bf

2nd place- ?
deck used- dark world

i did not get sean's decklist because it is still under construction and perfection, according to him, but i do have a basic skeleton of his monster lineup for those who are interested

3 Raioh
1 BLS
3 Bora
1 Gale
3 Shura
1 Jinn the Dry Wind

Yes he does run 3x Pot of Duality too

i am very sure there are more cards included but i do not know. Possible Gorz etc.

He however doesnt run any Sirocos or Vayus.

KL Ranking Tourney Sunday # 2

1st place- Andrew
Deck Used- GKs.

2nd place- Zack Teoh
Deck Used- TG Sabers

I have none of the decklists. I am happy that Andrew found a good tier 1 build for GKs again as he found a good reliable way to side against DW and deal with Heavy Storm, but no disclosure as i didn't get his consent :)

As you can see, OCG format is a good reliable way of measuring the top players as they always repeatedly top consistently.

Ranking Tourney Kuching

1st place- Jia Jun Tay
Deck Used- Quickdraw Dandy

2nd place- Bruce Law
Deck Used- Chaos Sworn

I have none of the decklists as par to that because i did not ask them players. i can try though.

Ranking Tourney Miri

1st place- Joo Phin Loo
Deck Used- Quickdraw Dandy

The difference between Miri's rankings are different because it follows the Asian format whereby no promos are allowed. I do have the decklist for this.

Monsters: 25

Doppel Warrior X2
Junk Synchron X2
Quickdraw Synchron X2
Sangan X1
Tragoedia X2
Card Trooper X2
Ryko, the lightsworn hunter X2
Lone-fire Blossom X1
Effect Veiler X2
Spore X1
Dandylion X1
Level Eater X1
Glow-up Bulb X1
Debris Dragon X1
Dark Armed Dragon X1
Mystic Tomato X1
Chaos Sorcerer X1
Black Luster Soldier X1

Magics: 11
Reinforcement of Army X1
Tuning X1
Dark Hole X1
Foolish Burial X1
Pot of Avarice X1
One For One X1
Monster Reborn X1
Charge of the light Brigade X1
Heavy Storm X1
Allure of Darkness X1
Scapegoat X1

Traps: 4
Call of the Haunted X2
Limited Reverse X2
I found that Tragoedia is really vital in Qd Doppel Dandy and his build looks good for an Asian format version whereby he had no access to Quasar.

Thats all for today thank you for reading

QD Doppel

My Asian BLS is taking forever to arrive so i'll just post the decklist out first.

This is the QD variant im testing out atm:

2 Card Trooper
2 Ryko
1 Gorz
1 BLS
2 Quickdraw
2 Doppel
3 Junk Synchron
1 Level Eater
1 Spore
1 Glow up Bulb
1 Zephyrus
2 Effect Veiler
1 Sangan
1 Dandylion
1 Mystic Tomato

3 Tunings
1 Dark Hole
1 Monster Reborn
1 Charge of Light Brigade
1 Calling Army
1 Enemy Controller
1 One for One
1 Foolish Burial
1 Pot of Avarice
1 Heavy Storm
2 MST

2 Bottomless Trap Hole
1 Trap Dustshoot
1 Torrential Tribute

Extra deck:
1x TG Hyper Librarian
1x Shooting Quasar
1x Formula
1x Stardust
1x Scrap Dragon
1x Trishula
1x Arms Aid
1x Junk Destroyer
1x Junk Warrior
2x Drill Warrior
1x Black Rose Dragon
1x AOJ Catastor
1x Magical Android
1x Brionac

Deck's really consistent.

I didnt really want to run the 2x Call of Haunteds because in the opening hand, they were dead usually so yeah. I would really like to run it though but i have no idea what to take out atm. I mean, who wouldn't like to abuse Trooper more? =D

2 Bottomless is necessary to combat Angels etc.

E-con is incredible in here, especially against Angels. They go decently against everything else except DW.

Tomato accesses Sangan more and level 4 in grave for variance of play with Spore

Will try to fit in Recipro Dragonfly.

So basically the whole idea is to go Quasar or spam the field with many monsters.

Love the consistency especially with 3 Tunings, who cares if they are dead in hand at times, they can be Drill Warrior fodder, Rarely dead.

Problems that i am personally unsatisfied with, concerning the deck:

1) No extra boss monster besides BLS. Need to add in a Dark Armed or a Sorcerer

2) Trying to fit in Call of the Haunted

3) After all the Librarian draw whoring, i end up with a large hand... or nothing but combo pieces. Drawing more Junk Synchrons arent that bad though

4) No Book of Moon, but then i replaced it with Econ cos it works better.

5) I know Zephyrus seems a lil out of place since there is no 2x Call, but then he has been helping quite alot lately. 1600 summon and beat is also decent.

Reborn Tengus would make this deck like perfect lol. And yup Librarian should have been banned lol.

This is actually a pretty good format which i like, but will be playing only one deck since im slowing down. Maybe will get my spirits for Yugioh lit up when i head down to KL at the end of the year, but since Andrew and Cookie are quitting, its a bit demotivating.

Thats all for today, thank you for reading :)

KL Zexal Ranking Tourney Results

1st place- Sean- Chaos BF
2nd place- Zack Teoh - Junk Doppel
3rd place- Junk Doppel
4th place- Dark World

No. of Participants- 16

Sold my BLS to Sean for a "friend" price, so he decided to play Chaos BF in locals in KL yesterday.

Chaos BF actually is really good. Just throw 3x Raioh into the deck and you can play BLS

Obviously Raioh is a good meta call because its the best card to go against Angels, and Junk Doppel.

Also, 3 Raioh is enough for BLS because in BF, you can make Magical Android and no39 Utopia easily anyway, so yeah lol.

No decklist today because he doesnt want to reveal it. Note that there is still 3 Duality.

Got myself 2 Maxx Cs, Gonna work on this format's sidedeck now :)

While testing Junk Doppel

When i found time to playtest.... i found out that:

Divine Wrath is strong! And a good sidedeck option. From Baha's SS decklists, i noticed that the Junk Doppel players all sided at least one copy of Wrath. This is probably due to Herald of Orange Light or something, and because it is spell speed 3. Very useful. Maindecking is probably not a good idea though.

Enemy Controller in the maindeck is also good! :)

In Junk Doppel, it really reminds me of Brain Control, an incredibly broken card. The best thing is that its chainable and i like it best when my opponent Herald Orange my monster, i sac mine for theirs and still can do something for the turn :) Its quite versatile this format.

Been testing Dualities too. A lil wtf i know but the consistency boost is good, since im not running the Twilight-ish variant with Tragodias, and 2 Sorcerors.

Its just that i fear opening with Call of Haunted, 2x Sorceror and a bunch of other dead stuff in hand which have no synergy with each other. However, i will try testing them soon despite not being too appealing to me.

Junk Doppel has been amazing with Drill Warrior around, i feel like Avarice was not even touched on the list at all lol.

Thats all for today, thank you for reading

Random

Darksoul Ultra, Maxx C NR, Boggart SR, Infern Barrier C

X Saber players got trolled ! hahahha luckily i sold off my sabers recently. Barrier common maybe because Archfiends cost a bunch here. But apart from them, the deck is dead cheap.

Dragonic Legion announced: Light and Dark support for dragon type monsters.

Dragons tier 1 finally!

GS probably gonna reprint BLS.

The 2 products complement each other, good marketting ventures, Konami. More $$ to you

Dont know why many Malaysian duelists around dont want to buy BLS now, because they think its gonna be reprint in the new SD.

I highly doubt it as its more likely gonna be reprinted in GS as a Normal Rare, which is still gonna be costly and cost rm100++ anyway, so you might as well get it now. lol

Thats all for today. Waiting for my Asian BLS!

1x Protector of the Founders, Tiras

Here are Sean's comments on the build.

Notes:
2 Card Troopers and no Rykos FTW! Maxed Sirocco and Vayus to maximize speed and the probability of generating OTKs. 2 Grephers for easier OTKs. No Sangan b'cos he's too slow.

3 Pots for easier and faster combo-setups (I usually side 1 out in game 2 and 3). My Pots have changed my hand from bad to good in many occassions!

1 Heavy and 2 MSTs is just awesome! (much better than 3 MSTs). Haven't dropped Mirror Force b'cos it's still a game-changer for me. No Starlight Road in main b'cos it's too situational.

1 Prison and 1 Warning to balance things out (might be switching back to "good-old" 2 Warnings or something else but will decide after more playtests).

I chose Call of the Haunted over Return from the Different Dimension (RftDD) b'cos RftDD has been more of a bad draw for me so far and paying half my LP for a big push is often too risky. Hence, I've decided to drop it. Call is just awesome with Trooper and Knight of the End!

I've recently replaced Chimeratech Fortress Dragon with Tiras for testing. (Example: I can use a Sirocco/Cyber Dragon and a Puppet Plant'd Shi En to Exceed Summon Tiras). Will include Empty Space Sea Serpent Levaiel if I manage to find an extra slot.

Not sharing my Side Deck b'cos it's a secret! :P


Now, yesterday i was discussing Card Trooper and Ryko with Sean and we both agreed how good Card Trooper was.

Notice that Sean doesnt run Ryko. The reasons are:

1) Its alot slower than Trooper

2) Its easily destroyed before you can mill.

3) You can only mill once. With Trooper, anybody can mill, attack, set up a BTH to protect it and repeat next turn.

4) Ryko is a 1 for 1, while Trooper is a +1 . Which many do not realize. Because you can mill, then pump attack to attack over your opponents monster (assuming this of course), and then when your opponent destroys it next turn, you get to draw a card.

Strangely, i love Card Trooper, but hate Ryko in my Junk Doppel. Now i know my personal wish for next banlist: Card Trooper to 3!

Okay happy netdecking =)
