The Ultimate Deck Building Contest


Recommended Posts

Quick introduction story : Back in the days I built my friend a deck for his first regionals. It was a cyber stein deck siding into last turn. (pretty crazy I know) That day he top 8 and one of our friends who had a burn deck decided to side into last turn too and finished 13 out of 93 people. The success of this "transformation" side deck was because last turn was a completely different strategy from cyber stein. People were siding waboku after game one and it was of no use when jowgen hit the field with 2 backrow. Since people were siding dust tornadoes vs burn that's why our other friend got some more trouble with his deck.

 

The contest : Build a deck with a side deck that allows you to change your deck into a completely different strategy. (it doesn't need to be an OTK but they are welcome) I will judge them on how they can handle the meta decks and how the side deck helps against the main deck weak match ups. Also, you'll be in an even better position to win if your side deck makes the card your opponent usually side vs the main deck useless (or almost useless).

 

Specify the cards you take out for the transformation. (or give the decklist for both)

 

*I will not accept lightsworn siding into twilight.

 

Prizes : Every member with a deck retained for the contest will automatically earn a rep. You can submit up to 2 decks but the 2nd one won't give you a rep, it will only give you a 2nd chance at winning. Winner gets 2 more reps and I'll give 1 more rep to the most original build.

 

Technicallities : Maximum deck size 45 cards. Advanced format. Contest ends June 28th. Results should be available 2 or 3 days after contest ends.

Macro Monarchs into Chaos Monarchs. They side loads of s/t removal, you screw them over by siding in loads of chainable stuff (IE they keep hitting you with Dust Tornado and you chain Roar, Book or PWWB, better still they side Twister and it's a dead card all together). Valley seems like a nice choice to keep in both builds considering its ability to slow Blackwings from OTKing you that turn.

The contest is over here's how the judging was done :

 

having different strategy : / 10

how you do vs. meta : / 10

multiple matchups coverage : / 10

screw the opponent side deck strategy : / 10

total : / 40

[spoiler=results]

deadalus :

6 (you keep garden so you lost point here)

3

5

6 (royal decree helped you a lot here)

20

 

arterey :

2

8 (surprisingly zombies are good in this meta)

2

3 (you got points for having IIW in the side)

15

 

akira :

6 (It's still monarchs)

8 (RFG owns)

4

7 (end phase dust still works and mask of restrict hurts both deck)

25

 

smeg :

8 (good one)

8

5 (the side is better vs cold wave but kills the same deck)

2 (side dust + decree)

23

 

titanjon :

7

7 (side helps a lot here)

5

6 (anti sp summon still hurts survivor and planes)

25

 

 

 

So I'll give a rep to titanjon and akira for 1st place. Smeg gets the extra rep for the most original strategy. It was a really close contest except for arterey but he still builded good decks it's just that he didn't get the "transformation" part right. I'm surprised nobody tried siding into burn (it's very popular in germany).
