Top 8 DeckList Winner's
1st Place - EugenHeidt:
"So I either wanted to play meta or try to hard-counter CA. I was set pretty fast on Burn because it's just cheesy and CA can't really do much against it, having no backrow removal and if they do, they're more inconsistent and lose against other CAs. I thought about Ninja because I did well at Kaiba Cup and very experienced with it, but it feels like a coin flip against other Ninjas or CA. So Joshua Schmidt recommended me Hazy Flame besides Burn as a consistent counter against CA. So I got it, tried it out and built a more or less random build, bc I didn't play the deck much until the deck submissions. Then I played the day before the tournament a bit prevent common mistakes like Cerbereus 1k Normal Summons. The rest was a bit like learning by doing, it worked better deeper in the tournament and the line up paid out, almost everyone has at least one CA in the lineup."

2nd Place - Jason:
"I used ca because I thought it was just the best deck, most consistent and most powerful. I used gb because it was the strongest control deck imo with a good matchup overall with everything, it was the deck I started with the most because I could usually play every game with my balanced hands."

3rd Place - Dellex:
"I used double cyber angels since the deck was the most consistent. Restart and balance made it so i nearly always opened very well. Also i have played cyber angels since release and have had the most playtesting as a result of that. I played 1 sphere kuriboh since it gives the least amount of information to my opponent. People will often go for game with econ only to lose to the suprise sphere kuriboh. If i ran econ instead my opponent would have the option to play around it. You cannot play around the 1 sphere kuriboh since by the time you realized i played it you will have already lost to it. I ran 3 sonic bird for consistency. Also since it is level four it helps fulfill the limited summoning condition absolute ritual has. I would often make my second dakini in a turn using a senju in grave along side a sonic bird in play."
