Thoughts on YCS Charlotte

Samurai won again...now then, on to business.

Fish OTK made it to the finals and gained 2 spots in the Top 8. Now, after playing this deck for 2 years I'm having a lot of mixed feelings regarding this achievement. First off, I'm happy to see Fish get the recognition they long-deserved, but it's also frustrating because I fear I may lose my recognition as "The Fish Guy" and get lost amongst all the bandwagon players.

I will continue working on Fish, just on new forms of playing the deck.

Also, Gravekeepers made also quite the presence in the Top 16. Really happy to see them become a great force amongst the meta.

Empty Jar in the Top 8 was a pleasant surprise. I didn't know what the deck was capable of until I lost to it a few weeks ago at a tourney. It still has some issues to work on, but it can be a deadly deck if you aren't careful enough.

Let's see...what else?

Sad to see Blackwings decline in use, but I guess that's part of the format changes.

And last, but not least, Dragunity. This deck is here to stay! Surely it's an instant contender in the meta as it made a strong impact.

This meta is shaping to be an interesting one.

  1. at least you are the Fish Guy, and not the Fish Girl like i am; too many jokes about women and fish come to peoples' minds.

  2. lol that GK deck used by Glenn - I do like the use of Magical Dimension though in his Gravekeeper's deck. Using it with Recruiter is a pretty solid move.

    though i heard that the empty jar guy cheated all day, according to YGO reuter reports people witnessed matches where he would remove a/d charger from the gy and put morphing jar face down, deck does not deserve to be where it is at

    but I guess that's the thing I can't understand. If he was cheating all day how come no one reported him to a judge or asked for a ruling during the day and he made it all the way to the Top 32?

    but overall LOVE the diversity! Pity about the amount of people running PoDs and Warnings though (prices are going to go up even more...).
