ihop Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 Just because it's not in the US doesn't mean it's not important :/ Anyway I was considering going to this but it's just too much money and too much hassle, plus I have to take days of school.

Not-so-Radiant Arin Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 Fancy. I'm expecting, as always, Agents to at least come T8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihop Posted November 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 I'm expecting Wind-Ups, they'll be played a lot and they seem popular among top players in Europe especially now we have Shock Master. Wind-Ups or a rogue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ihop Posted November 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 I think if Agents do win Simon He will be the one, he's probably one of the best players to have never won a YCS and this is basically home territory for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agro Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 Wind-Ups and Atlanteans are about even. Agents can throw out boss monsters like it's nobody's business and give a lot of decks fits, but their Atlantean matchup is less than stellar. Geargias are still Geargias. Not many of the decks cept Atlantean can really side for them too well. (because CyDra and System Down don't do enough, apparently) Rabbit isn't what it used to be, but Macro wrecks a lot of the meta, so it at least has that going for it. For Rabbit players, here's to hoping not many people play Rabbit, or HEROs for that matter. Chaos Dragons have a bad matchup against Agents, so that's a pretty big issue. They can compete if the hype for agents has dissipated. It really all depends on who plays what at this YCS. Dark Worlds and HEROs seem to have all but disappeared :\ That's a little disappointing. Skill Drain HEROs may be a cool option this YCS, but we'll see. I'm not so sure we'll see them really show up till after Cosmo Blazar. Inzektors won a YCS. The dude got lucky. I don't see that happening again... like ever. My pick for this YCS: [b]Geargia[/b], People are siding for them less. But if people at this YCS run 2 MST because of the Atlantean matchup, be careful of a lucky Rabbit player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not-so-Radiant Arin Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 My pick for Barcelona: Probably [b]Atlanteans[/b]. They have a lot of swarming and offensive power and can pretty much side really well. Their only threat is Macro, which Rabbit can utilize, but beyond that, I can see them winning Barcelona. I'm split between the three major decks atm: Atlanteans, Geargias, and Wind-Ups. Everything else might come T8, or T16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is awesome, because it sort of means that the banlist actually did lower the format a bit. But anyway, I think Geargias will slowly descend like Wind-Ups did, and then at a certain point, they'll just explode and win a YCS. Also, should this topic be here or in the subsection?

Master of Sabers Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 I'm voting against Chain Burn, simply because I play it. And the more it gets played, the more people are prepared for it. Winning game 1 (a near surefire thing) is huge. And when more people are prepared for it, the deck suffers.

Not-so-Radiant Arin Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 Chain Burn is too fragile, imo. It can easily be stopped by Android, provided you can get it out first turn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihop Posted December 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 Not to mention Royal Decree. 2 Inzektors lost in top 32 and 1 in top 16, there are none now in top 8. Rohan Patel has proved again that he's the best Dragon Duelist in Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
