Cray Journal: Link Jokers

Hey folks, Imma just write a mini tourney report and a cray journal about my experience at Chak Fung's 2 man team tourney.

Before that lets talk about my journey for the past 2 weeks since i entered with CBD.
Here was my 1st decklist when i entered.

SVG: Dust tail Unicorn
G0:
4x Meteor Liger
4x Vice Soldat
4x Nebula Captor
4x Stellar Garage

G1
4x Promethium
4x Palladium
3x Chaos Beat Dragon
3x Neon

G2
4x Colony maker
3x Mobius Breath Dragon
4x Radon

G3
4x Infinite Zero Dragon
4x Chaos breaker Dragon

Reviews and experience after playing with this decklist.

Problem 1: Chaos beat dragon
6k base... Get poke by anything and almost everything.
He isn't a good rearguard booster if ya have a 9k rearguard such as colony maker and mobius breath dragon. 15k rearguard collumn gives a 5k guard for rearguard.

So ya telling me to put this behind the vanguard of CBD for a 21k column... Hmmm... right.... So what would ya normally do when ya guarding the middle lane? 20k 2 pass? or just negate? How bout putting the CBD as a rearguard? What card would ya discard as a fodder for CBD and Kanzen? A jam card like a G3 right? And ya get a palladium that will shut down that collumn.

Problem 2: Chaos Breaker Dragon
I am not high to mention this. But CBD has a notorious problem of decking out and unable to end games. Lets all Draw, Deck out, and Lock each other rearguards.

Here is the modded decklist that I used for Link Joker and the team tourney

SVG: Dust tail Unicorn
G0:
4x Meteor Liger
4x Vice Soldat
4x Nebula Captor
4x Stellar Garage

G1
4x Promethium
4x Palladium
4x Demonic Claw Star-vader, Lanthanum
2x Neon

G2
4x Colony maker
3x Mobius Breath Dragon
4x Radon

G3
4x Infinite Zero Dragon
3x Chaos breaker Dragon
1x Nebula Lord Dragon

Reviews and experiences after testing the new decklist.
Nebula Lord Dragon: It help end games. Break Riding a nebula over an Infinite zero is just very pain for late game when the game is stagnant and keeps ya opponent at the edge of his seat. +3k to all front row for each locked unit.

Nebula lord dragon isnt there to use his CB. Ya use the palladium to lock units with CB1 than use the CB2. just imagine all ya columns get +9k and ya control a Lanthanum.

Lanthanum: He combos very well with Radon and CBD given CBD's nature to only lock once per turn. he easily becomes a 9k booster and able to drive a 21k column easily and also as explained good for feeding Steroids and Ecstasy for Final turn. 7k base also makes it a better option over the chaos beat dragon.

to cut the long story short.

It all lies down to this match. The Most Crucial Match.
Kagero(DDD-inferno) vs CBD(Khai)
Nubatama vs CBD(Khant)
Outcome: Lose-Lose

Notable Experiences faced:
1. Misgrade at mobius for 1 turn in 2 games and still win matches.
2. Survived Daikaiser Twiced. Playing granblue and DI really help me. Credits to Aetas Kun for teaching me :D
3. Loss to Kagero and nubatama which got me stunned at the edge of my seat.

So what actually happened here. It got us really stunned. Just when everyone expect an RFD or CBD to top and kill Link Jokers.

Lets leave ya guys in suspense for now. Imma not gonna reveal how we lost that match which cost us the top 2 positions. Stay tune for the next journal where i am gonna explain in further details.
