GenzoTheHarpist Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 As we used to do every jump, here's a thread with the top 16 breakdown and what it means. 3 Gladiator Beast Decks7 Lightsworn2 Dark Synchros, one more skill drain based.1 Twilight1 Blackwing1 Little City1 Counter Fairys seven decks represented... a substantial improvement from the typical 3-4 last format. Lightsworn/Twilight claiming just a bit over half, much less dominant than teledad was last format. GBs are the other deck to beat. The big surprises to me were that Blackwings and Counter Fairys got a spot. Teledad isn't dead yet but definitely is not a major force. All in all this format seems quite an improvement.

GenzoTheHarpist Posted April 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 Top 8: 3 Lightsworn, 2 Gladiator Beasts, 1 Blackwing, 1 Dark Skill Drain, and 1 Dark Synchro variant. Top 4: 2 Lightsworn, One Dark skill Drain, and one Blackwing. Lightsworns definately have a more shaky grasp as top deck than I thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally i'm amazed at the blackwings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psycho Shocker Android Posted April 26, 2009 Report Share Posted April 26, 2009 And I thought Dark Drain was such a dead-end idea.... Well in a meta full of LS and GB skill drain is perfect for any anti meta strategy. That's what tele-dad was siding and it's the reason why no deck was able to match it.

Bunter Dwayne Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 Blackwings or Glads should probably win. Skill Drain Dark? What would that run -- Zombyra? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smeg Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 The big surprises to me were that Blackwings got a spot. Blackwings is part of the new meta. The only reason theres a lot of LS is because to start of with there was a lot of ls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

werewolfjedi Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 I am somewhat disappointed at no village or Endymion builds getting up there, but that's just me. it is good to see that the top decks are more varied now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
