Fall Champs 2023

What made you choose your deck? What are some plays your deck can make?

Alright I have skipped this for a while, so I will talk about changes since the last time I wrote on here. I played pend, as usual. Compared to last time there have been a few changes to the build. I dropped majesty maiden for vector as my dragonic pendulum target, cause I found majesty was never good to draw and having a vanilla was just better. Vector>master cause dark for allure and nightmare. I dropped thuban deciding to go less bricks over potential for zefra engine. I tried Ladyange cause I was filling space, it was pretty bad cause you need to resolve pendsorc to use it usually. I added a curtain raiser to more consistently get to electrumite. And importantly, I run draco masters now, it comes up. Besides that, the build has been static for a while due to lack of new releases that work well with pend. Gameplan is still go plus, make interrupts with electrumite to set-up and fix your stuff, and attack big.


What were some tech choices you made? Would you make any changes to the list moving forward?

Not much. i sided revolution+black rose for going 2nd, but I never drew it. I also decided to side seal eel for some difficult to out stuff like chaos angel, was not relevant. Majester was a mid choice, that one is basically a free slot in the ed and I decided I did want majester pass sometimes on bad hands. Harvest angel of doom is a go to side for going first in a lot of matchups due to the summon negates being very good sometimes. Main deck is not very techy for the most part. I would make quite a few changes due to new support in AGOV, but, disregarding that, I feel like ladyanage was a bad choice in this particular build and should be cut, but I am open to it in another build cause it IS a second foolish burial target, which is relevant since darkwurm is better after AGOV, thus you want to run foolish. Besides that, a lot of it is personal preference, it depends on my mood if I would make any other changes ignoring new cards in AGOV. I need to cut an engine to make room for new cards though, maybe zefra since that is a one-trick thing, and I don't think you want to try one-tricking vs volcanic.


How did your deck handle the other pilots? Any notable moments?

It was good, I did not get any bad matchups really. Last match my opponent bricked so that was pretty cool. Deck functioned as usual. Next format things will be a lot worse cause pend is bad against some of the new competitors like snake-eyes volcanic.


Any Trinity slang?

I don't have much to say
