The Rabbit

3 Wind-Up Rabbit
3 Kinka-Byo
3 Mystic Piper
2 Cyber Valley
2 Battle Fader/Treeborn Frog
1 Gorz the Emissary of Darkness

3 Pot of Duality
3 United We Stand
2 Where Arf Thou?
2 Scapegoat
1 Enemy Controller
1 Book of Moon
1 MST
1 Dark Hole

2 Zero Force
2 Fiendish Chain
2 Mirror Force
1 Needle Ceiling
1 Torrential Tribute
1 Solemn Warning
1 Compulsory Evacuation Device
1 Bottomless Trap Hole
1 Vanity's Emptiness

I want to put Hidden Armory here but that would mean fitting in another Equip Spell. Im mostly inclined to try Big Bang Shot which is kinda cool and ensure you dont lose to something like Spirit Reaper. Also if your opponent is low on life, just set Valley/Piper down and put Big Bang on your opponent;s monster

TOON Destiny

Reference build: http://duelistgroundz.com/index.php?showtopic=155962

IS ROUGH DRAFT JUST

1 Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon
1 Dark Armed Dragon
1 Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning
3 Destiny Hero - Malicious
2 Destiny Hero - Plasma
2 Plaguespreader Zombie
2 Maxx "C"
2 Toon Mermaid
2 Summoner Monk
1 Raiden, Lightsworn Assailant
1 Armageddon Knight
1 Dark Grepher

3 Scapegoat
3 Destiny Draw
3 Toon Table of Contents
1 Toon World
2 Trade-In
1 Allure of Darkness
1 Foolish Burial
1 Mystical Space Typhoon
1 Reinforcement of the Army

2 Vanity's Emptiness
2 Mirror Force ?probably
1 Skill Drain/IIW

Also losing Stratos sucks but at least we get Raiden. and there are some nifty play you can make now

like

Grepher/Knight, set up PSZ + Malicious. Synchro for Vulcan, return Malicious to hand and discard it for Destiny Draw.

or return another face-up card for Vulcan, go for M7 go grab Malicious discard D-Draw ya its similar above

Alternatively/or

Have Imperial Iron Wall face-up, set up Vulcan summon, return IIW to hand, and you are free to Malicious go for Rank 6, then again lock The best deck of the format with IIW. The best part? Plaguespreader isn't banished so you can synchro for Void Ogre Dragon if you dont feel like going for M7, set IIW again and proceed to lock The best deck of the format.

No longer there a need to play Zephyrus since Vulcan exist

Raiden:
>LIGHT
>tuner
>level 4
>true warrior
>incredible

That sounds like a prerequisite for the current best Summoner Monk target

Raiden milling Plague/Malicious is cute too. And if you have space in extra deck, Goat Tokens + Raiden can bring out AncientSacredWyvern as alternate wincon

Also, apparently TCGplayer Forum has been down for about a month. I hereby swear I didnt do anything really


p/s-This little wall of text doesnt have much to do with the above build.

Its been a month

YCS San Mateo has just passed but I was barely paying attention to the coverage.

Dragons dominated and will continue to do so. Honestly the dominance level is getting ridiculously similar to teledad format except rogue deck stands more chance to steal game nowadays. Mermail flops terribly.

Merlin's 1st place deck doesnt play Vanity's Emptiness. Pat Hoban dropped Emptiness from his deck. Josh Graham regrets playing it. I never play more than 1 Emptiness in any of my Dragon variants as I always feel its a card with limited range and doesnt quite warrant the 2 deck space it currently holds. Don't you think its odd that people choose to main 0/1 MST despite this being prevalent?

Good to finally see people caught up with Darkspear(Trident). I've seen ZERO discussion on this at all which is ridiculous considering its, in the word of Josh, 'a searchable Return'. He also maindecks D.D. Crow and have Skill Drain in sideboard.

Also obligatory shoutout to fellow ex-TCGPlayer, Mike Klasel for making Top 16 as the highest placed Spellbook player and the deck's one and only representative in Top 32. He doesn't play World of Prophecy.
