How does it feel to win this Meta Weekly?
It feels amazing, I've always wanted to participate in the Meta Weekly (this was my first ever). It has always been a long-term goal of mine to win a DLM event and I'm glad that I could make it happen today!
What was your approach going into the format?
With Harpies' Hunting Ground being back I was expecting to face a lot of Harpies today therefore I sided double Loading... . However, I did not face a single Harpie deck today but it was still very useful in the matchups against Gaia. I was not expecting to face any new decks that got buffed by the Selection Box other than Gaia.
Why did you go with Magnet Warriors this Weekly?
I picked up Magnet Warriors after Harpies got nerfed and I've been enjoying every moment of it, it has solid match-ups against most of the meta decks and it has options to go into many different plays unlike most one-dimensional decks.
How did the day go for you? Any notable matchups?
The day went very well! I went 3-2 in Swiss and was lucky enough to be the last one to Yop from my pool. Most of my match ups were intense!. Notable match ups were against
where I top decked a Loading... for game. Also, losing to in Swiss helped me learn how the Buster Blader match-up worked, which helped me eventually beat him in the Finals.
Would you like to explain any of your Deck choices?
I tried to keep it as small and simple as possible rather than the usual 26-30 card Magnet builds everyone else is playing in order to see specific techs and Side Deck cards more, therefore settling for a 24-card build. If I were to change anything about my deck I'd probably just add a Loading... instead of Loading... , because it can steal games with its pierce.
Do you have anything else you'd like to say about your Tournament Experience?
Always have a lot of fun in DLM events and they are extremely well-organized
Lastly, do you have any shout-outs you'd like to make?
