Maeriberii Haan Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 vanguardus.blogspot.com/2013/08/news-japans-2013-national-champion-is.html?m=1 Well, 2 rogue decks won japan nationals, Lequier and Enigman Kaiser. Top 4 is interesting, no repeats, and a surprising lack of Link Joker. The Enigman-Kaiser deck is pure glory. Here we discuss the results and/or the decklist. Will Lequier see more play, are LJ were just being bandwagoned without being actually powerful, and is this a good precedence for Set 13's DP?

Aerion Brightflame Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 Jesus Christ that Dimensional Police deck is funnier than Koko's 1 Grade 3 varient. The deck has so much variety it's uncanny. And the Lack of Link Jokers is really shocking. Like Crazily so, and I'm struggling to think of why?

Rawkobo Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 And the Lack of Link Jokers is really shocking. Like Crazily so, and I'm struggling to think of why? Because they're not busted. It's not that hard to understand. The clan's just come out, isn't especially well-supported, and still technically is a greenhorn compared to a lot of other clans in terms of mechanics. Daunting as Lock is, the deck requires more precise, explosive play than people credit it for. And I still think people are playing against the deck wrong if they feel like it's oppressing them too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or thought they were, I've just been under the impression from what people have said of them that they are very good as things go in this game. I was expecting some kind of showing is all.

They tried a while ago and only managed to get a Doctor O Honorable Mention. Mostly because while the mechanic was an interesting direction, it still faces issues when contending with other decks. It's still a problem with things that capitalize on swarming, mind you, but to be honest, there are also a lot of cards now that have been designed to have a way around it. So it's present and currently making Megacolony seem like jack squat, but it's not overturning the meta just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNo.101 S.H. Death Knight Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 Morikawa should run this deck since he is obsessed with grade 3 and this will give him an excuse of not losing with hoarded grade 3 lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maeriberii Haan Posted August 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 Link Joker is the most vanilla deck pre-limit break, bar bimbo ezel decks. They also generate no actual advantage during the early-mid game, and gain only indirect ones in the late game. Granted, their late game is scary as hell, but you can prepare for it. Seems like Japan players finally noticed LJ's weakness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
