Ya, so no article this week, I’ve been busy and I’ll be gone all this week camping as well! I said so on the podcast, but it’s not up yet or I’d quote myself. Other than that, I thought this was an interesting bit of news; the person who got first at the Japanese Nationals ran Alive HERO. Pretty awesome! He (or maybe she? the Duelist’s name is Chami) will also be alongside there other representative “Chariot” running Offering Machina Gadget. You can check it out Shriek here: [LINK] I’ve got the guys decklist right here for all those who would rather stay here.

The Extra is pretty standard, so I won’t put that. The deck’s actually a pretty interesting variant of the deck especially given it’s not running the card that is its name sake: The Warrior Returning Alive. The deck very nicely replaces those with triple Call of the Haunted, making the Stratos + Reborn play much more happening. He’s also running a splash of normal HERO Beat which probably gave him a bit of an edge when he needed to grind out some games. Otherwise, ass I’ve been told this deck is essential a really angry and aggressive version of Bubble Beat where you have to overextend or lose.
