Regionals Help!

[Shadwen]

Hi, Im looking for any insight on what I should take to the regionals. Im a tier 3 control player. I do have a few ideas. I will need help narrowing it down to:

1. The best options
2. The decks that have the most potential

I will then need help with side/extra.

Most of the following builds do not include a side or extra due to that being undecided as of yet.

Ill upload builds as I complete them but here is the breakdown!

the OP will be updated as decisions are made



Psi-Blocker Control:

#This is a deck based on removing options based on mitigating outs. With prohibition and psiblocker as the main components. The deck has a reuse engine to reset prohibition and reuse other cards as shown below





---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Banishman:

#This is a macro heavy version of pacman. Allowing me to control the board while shutting out the graveyard. It is currently having issues with fire fists. I will need help on that. I do think this is one of my best options as last time I took a version of it to regionals in the mermail/fire fists meta it went 7-1.





-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Chain Burn:

#I know this deck is hated because of its cheesyness. But in all honesty a win is a win. I feel as though I could pilot this deck very well. It has a great matchup vs alot of the meta. It has a semi bad matchup against spellbooks in my opinion.





-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Gadgeto:


#This is old fifth gadget. I feel with the new rank ups, and additions to the gadget deck such as tin goldfish and kagetoge this deck might have the speed to keep up. With its 45 cards of pure advantage/hate, I feel it can stand up to anything. The amount of tech space this deck offers might make it viable. The issue is the limits on the powerful backrow that it used to run.




-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jar Control:


#This deck focuses on using morphing jar and morphing jar #2 to create a thinning engine to remove resources from the opponent. It has a bad matchup vs mermails however. the other issue is the high monster count, and running a subpar engine to gain advantage. However when the deck starts it doesnt lose very often. With some proper tweaking it can do very well.






-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Visionman:


#this deck has a viable lock that allows it to gain advantage while widdling down the opponents resources. Its a slow game, but has very few losses. It requires a 2 card setup but seems very viable this format. I feel like it might be subpar against mermails or spellbooks..mainly the latter.






------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chain Beat:


#Its fun and can gain advantage really easily. Has a problem with big monsters.

I'm thinking Visionman or Banishman. It's the kind of deck you seem to be best at so that's good.

I think Banishman has the better matchups overall but that Visionman might have a better FF match-up. But I'm definitely thinking Banishman.

[Shadwen]

Pacman variants are what I am best at. However, im not sure I can manage to overcome all aspects of the meta with either variant. Unless there are side deck cards for either that you guys would suggest.


Keep the critism coming. I need to narrow it down and get the testing in.

Im taking anyone who wants to test meta against me, I really need to see what will work.

[Drillwarrior]

Tell me what you want me to destroy, er, test you with and I'm up for it.

[Shadwen]

no regrettably, this is right and the right thing to do. Regs won't be easy, so why "go easy". it sucks for shad, but hitting him with as many games where he feels the "bad beats blues" the better it is for him. Those bad beats make for raw data on consistency, effectiveness(or lack there of) of engines, and tech picks and ratio refinement. PUT HIM THROUGH A MEAT GRINDER AND MAKE DONAIR MEAT OUT OF HIS CAMELS! It's for his own good!

[Shadwen]

I completely agree. Regionals/YCS isnt for the weak of heart. Its going to be a hurt locker. I just need to narrow it down to a few choices and burn through and tweak them until I come to a solid choice.

[Drillwarrior]

So, Visionman has a few tough match-ups and opened dead 1 out of 3 times I think. Want to try banishman next?

[Shadwen]

Yessir. Let me make sure its at its peak point.

I was figuring the Banishman would have a decent enough matchup against most of the meta with grave reliance. Or the simple fact that FF can't trigger there destruction effects if they can't send Formations to the grave.
