What made you choose your deck? What are some plays your deck can make?
I had been testing lots of different decks before Champs, but nothing felt right, so I decided to return to this deck. It's still strong, with 2 card combos into Lavalval Chain to generate followup for Turn 3 or making Exciton to break boards.
What were some tech choices you made? Would you make any changes to the list moving forward?
I reduced the number of Flame Swordsman cards and included Munin and Gossip Shadow, due to the Swordsrealm ban. That was a mistake, so I will be reverting that change and adding Dempsey back to the Extra Deck. I would also like to cut down on the Noble Knight cards since they rarely came up.
How did your deck handle the other pilots? Any notable moments?
Missing Dempsey made OTKs and followup much more difficult, but the deck was still performing. I think losing in Round 2 and then winning a double finals (since the tournament was double elim) was pretty impressive.

3axis is just one of my fav decks and hadn’t brought it to a tournament for a long time. The deck this time abused the tempais and materiactor engine to control and wipe boards. And finishes games with the armor engine.

Nth out of the ordinary I just focused on engine pieces and the abuse of tenpai fadra.

Besides infernoble Anubis in the finals the deck didn’t struggle against anyone else cause it always drew 1crd combo and 4 disruptions. With noble that didn’t happen
