Top 4:
What made you choose your deck? What are some plays your deck can make?
Dark World is one my favorite archetypes so when I saw tami tinkering with it I took their list and refined it. I took it to this YTC to show it off and because it proved to be one of the best decks in the format during testing.
As for its plays, you aim to outresource your opponent by using any of your engines and fiend goodstuff. The best possible engine to open turn 1 is probably Chimera because of how much advantage it gives you if it resolves.
What were some tech choices you made? Would you make any changes to the list moving forward?
I tried Melffy Catty as my last Half Point card just as another way to search Gazelle, but it honestly wasn't that great. There isn't another Half Point card I'd run in that slot, so maybe playing with 5.5 points is the solution here. Holding Legs and Tour Bus were in my side, and Holding Legs actually came up in one of my matches. Both are fine fiend sends and can be quite impactful in the right matchup.
How did your deck handle the other pilots? Any notable moments?
The deck did well, although it bricked quite a bit and didn't manage to showcase its full power. I didn't have an expectations for specific matchups, but I was sure my deck could beat anything. One notable moment was when I Sillva looped Folo in the semi-finals which was pretty degenerate (even though I think it was a greedy play and could have lost to a lot since I was also Maxx C'd)
If you could own a Trinity deck IRL, what deck would you have?
I already practically own Trinity Gem-Knights IRL (in bits and pieces), so my answer would be Dark World fiend pile, the deck that won this YTC. It's the deck I've spent the most time testing and optimizing in Trinity so I've become attached to it, and it'd be nice to have IRL.

What made you choose your deck? What are some plays your deck can make?
I chose the deck because I felt the rescue ace engine was extremely strong. I wanted to play a deck that guaranteed you'd see plays and are able to do the combos so I went for the 30 card brew. Usually you are just trying to get to air lifter grab emergency go for the monitor so you can let the monitor revive air lifter on your opponents turn and let the engine steamroll from there. I don’t know if any individual card is that interesting, but It’s rare that a 30 card deck is strong consistent and recursive enough so I wanted to play it.
What were some tech choices you made? Would you make any changes to the list moving forward?
I would probably change out some of my side deck like the crows and backrow removal and take out some of the more generic trap cards. The decks already great at stopping most generic lines but struggles into decks that play heavily from gy.
How did your deck handle the other pilots? Any notable moments?
The deck was good into a lot but struggled slightly vs the 60 card gy heavy variants I played in the last 3 rounds.
If you could own a Trinity deck IRL, what deck would you have?
I probably could own an IRL trinity list if I wanted to but I suppose I would pick unchained, because it’s one of my favorite decks of all time and is still solid in trinity.

What made you choose your deck? What are some plays your deck can make?
I played this because I didn't have another deck I wanted to play. This deck mills the entire deck.
What were some tech choices you made? Would you make any changes to the list moving forward?
I switched a point to an extra Riot Dragon since I wanted to mill it more often and not die to Crow. I liked this list, except the Extra Deck. There should be another Berserker of the Tenyi, and Linkross should not be in there anymore. I also want to add Drytron Zeta with no targets since I felt a little low on LIGHT monsters and Drytron names.
How did your deck handle the other pilots? Any notable moments?
It did what it always does, draw Reasoning/Gate or lose. I did lose in Top 4 vs. Sparky even though I opened double Reasoning, which felt bad.
If you could own a Trinity deck IRL, what deck would you have?
The most expensive one, so I can sell it. If I'm only allowed to use it to play Trinity, I would probably get Swordsoul.
