Aaaaah this rly is very important for me! It is my first top 8 and i got it with the deck i literally love! It might seem like a silly thing, but there is so much effort practising, learning and optimizing behind this list. I rly wanted zorga to appear here, and i did it!
Next up! Here is the Top 8 deck breakdown from the #BCS2022 Spain Standard regionals! Congratz to all of the players here! If any of the players here would like, please feel free to post your decklists in the comments below!
To be less flagrant, I think the *strength* of Yakuza is grossly over-exaggerated. It is not a perfect deck by any means, there are several decks that are well-matched into it, and those are very fun to play out. BUT-!
@Rexflame99@Sage18041 Japan never plays the kind of deck that would beat yakuza. Whwn we see the bosses that have midrange or tank versions, they still choose to play them aggro. When an aggro deck can run extra defense, they choose not to. The meta is, up to some extent, also "cultural" in a way

Plegia Stone Dragon
Dark States - <Abyss Dragon>
"A radiance that cycles and swirls. A torrent of magical power gushing forth from precious stones."
[AUTO][Drop]:When your vanguard with "Demonic Stone Dragon" or "Demonic Jewel Dragon" in its card name is placed, if all of your rear-guards have a different name from this card, perform 1 of the following.
- COST [Reveal a "Demonic Jewel Dragon Emperor, Drajeweled Magnus" from your ride deck], and call this card to (RC).
- If your vanguard is "Demonic Jewel Dragon Emperor, Drajeweled Magnus", call this card to (RC).
[AUTO][RC]:At the end of the battle this unit boosted, COST [put 1 of your rear-guards with either "Demonic Stone Dragon" or "Demonic Jewel Dragon" in its card name along with this card into your soul], and draw a card.
+1 from drop to -2 and draw is not a plus, its 1x1. This is killing your front row, not protecting it (you just make the decision of killing it instead of your oponent). Draje can already put dead cards in soul so you would always be able to acces the dead card vs removals.

@Never_Just_J Yeah, basicly 2 generic skills (that also happen to be in different context compared to the original decks containing them) do not necesarily combine into a broken card
@Never_Just_J If you like, call doll-) geo-) karvuneil you can complete board with this for free. That part is good. Soemtimes calling the g1 could feel akward
@Never_Just_J You can restand it with karvuneil. I think it can be decent on some scenarios but still akward. It doesn t feel justified to have worse numbers to draw a random card you do not care about. I would ignore the draw and be happy with my free booster.
🔥🚨DEVELOPING: God of War has replaced their anchor protagonist Kratos for his wife deceased Faye in the new “God of War Laufey” spin off. It is currently facing mixed options as some gamers claim they are being forced to play with a woman they never asked for.
This game takes place in afterlife of the gods called the Everywhen where the blood thirsty gods from multiple mythologies are at war for the land.
@Never_Just_J I think it makes the cut, and i like that you can go for a 4 attack turn that feels decent by restanding the booster, but i see myself going 1st and not rly using this a lot. Having 1 free booster is nice tho.
Overall fine but probably not insane
With this you can tecnicly acces an stronger 4 attacks turn. Some turns it might be good if they would survive a 5th and you prefer to go tall instead with a boosted 4th battle. (Karvuneil would restand this g1)
In fact, doll is already this but better:
Call doll-) call g3-) call g1.
G1 will draw you 1, g3 will be protected in soul again and you keep a body (that also did sc1 a card of chosen grade, just as this g1).
At the end this is a proper+1 and the card goes to soul aswell.
@mei_changu Don t get me wrong. Imma run it instead of lavenajader everyday, but this card is shoved with 2 generic skills that do not completely sinergize with the deck patterns. 2 good skills together do not necesarily make a good card
-1 to cc is so outdated imo (itd also good that less cc makes it into decks. Eb3 is already a form of cc (since you do not pay the cb to do the same anymore), so, asking players for deck space in order to acces more sustain feels very reasonable)
We just got NEW Reveals which is basically Argo Bobalmine and a new Combine big attacker, however there is literally no space in that deck so they won't be played LMAO
