Divine Intervention


I went to locals yesterday and it was the last Seed Tournament for Asia Championship Qualifiers. That’s all not important cause I scrubbed so bad in Game 3 against my opponent during the finals. God showed me triple vanilla and a Rescue Rabbit opening hand and that pretty much states how irrelevant the rest of the game is. The original plan stands, glory from bottom! Anyway, I stand by Andrew’s statement as well. ACQ is going to be a freaking death match during round one and two. Just pray that your draws are good. LOL! Malaysia is now officially in ACQ week so to conclude all my Meta observation, here is a list which is more or less the face of my country’s competitive scene:

Tier 1:
4-Axis Fire Fist

Tier 1.5:
Verz
3-Axis Fire Fist

Tier 2:
Mermails

Rogues:
Incarnate Dragons
Geargia Karakuri
Dark Worlds
Six Sams
Heroes
Prophecy

Here’s the funny part, I doubt most of the 3-Axis have Sirius in their Extra Deck but do expect to see the rest in action. Also to take note, most of the Mermails you encounter during ACQ will be equipped with Stream and Tidal. I guess it’s times like these where you either put up or shut up. There you have it this is my speculation of how Asia Qualifiers’ Meta is going to look like. Until next time, thank you for reading!

  1. The decks categorized under rogue decks are interesting.

  2. Some are probably classified as rogue due to price tag, I would assume.

    1. Yeah, you assume right. Though the only one that probably shouldn't be categorized as rogue is Prophecy. However, i don't see them at all. Less than a few so its hard to call.

    2. I mean, a lot of people own Batel and Junon because its old stuff but funny enough i don't see them at all in locals and all the talk focuses on Incarnate Dragons.

  3. WTF. How can you categorize decks by price tag?

    You must be drunk, sir.

    $$$ = POWER.

    tier 1: $$$$$$
    tier 2: $$$
    the rest: poor man's deck

    1. To the guy above Mike, just in case you didn't know three of the most expensive decks in Malaysia are in the "rogue" category. Those being Incarnate Dragons, Heroes, and Prophecies. You, sir, should know the details before running your mouth.

  4. Is the 4-axis Fire Fist really superior to the 3-axis ?_?

    And we should be VERY grateful that those big Dragons are all SR. Else Dragons everywhere is nothing fun >_>

    1. I doubt it is but the overall existence of Fire Fist in Malaysia revolves around 4-Axis and Sirius is a big price tag for a lot of players here. I mean, a pack of VE08 is RM200 (approx 400HKD?) and Sirius is over RM150 plus its a rare find.

      Hahaha! Pretty soon Dragons will take Tier 1 here. Expensive or not once a deck wins major people hop onto the bandwagon no matter how expensive it is.
