♦ RKlein:
This deck combines Hazy Flame with Ninja monsters (Yellow and Red Dragon), along with several tribute fodders (Yellow Nin, Tricky, and Berlineth) and a playset of Komushroomo (why Komushroomo? Well, he's a FIRE monster, a good first-turn card for defense, backrow removal, and a good surprise). In term of offensive play, the Hazy Flame monsters and Red Dragon will be the key cards. For spell/trap removal, Red Dragon (surprisingly) and Komushroomo will play their part. To substitute Enemy Controller, I used Sphere Kuriboh. As for The Tricky, it's a good tribute fodder and can fill the field to add more power for other monsters with Beatdown. Lastly, only a single trap is used, that is Treacherous TH. This way, you'll have 98% successful chance with HF Sphinx along with a mean of protection (if you DO happen to reveal the trap with Sphinx..... tough s*). This deck is surprisingly a good F2P deck against current meta decks which have plenty of targeting effects (Fur Hire, trap-oriented Amazoness, Vampire....sometimes), but a total failure against Silent-Spellbook (especially if they've summoned Silent Magician lv 8) or any deck in which their single monster's ATK can reach over 3400.

♦ rosasc95:
I uses Joey because of his "Fields of the Warriors" skill which gives me a nice ATK boost. The idea of the deck is to set up the graveyard and force your opponent to use all their resources ASAP.

It completely raeps Furries and Amazon's but Spellbook can be tricky because they can retrieve their banished spells. Try to get Destiny HERO - Dangerous on the field and only use his effect on your opponents turn. Send Celestial or Defender to the grave to get your draw engine going. You want your opponent to waste all their resources on Dangerous or Trinity. Or use them to push for the OTK. I found that this deck is incredibly versatile.

This is the first deck I've ever submitted so hope it takes me far this KC Cup. i feel it could be better with a 3rd Cyclone. Plasma really comes in handy with U.A.

♦ Saruwatari:
Best hand to start: monster, ties and calice! Calice and Canadia are to counter Amazoness and Fur Hire. The others cards counter every deck.

♦ Slowking:
How to: Very similar to how Stercata plays his U.A. deck. I used Mithra since the double tribute gave me the opportunity to search more with the field spell and worked well with Rebounder. Nothing special otherwise, Jinzo is an instant win against most backrow decks and Mighty Slugger runs over most other backrow.

STERCATA - U.A

STERCATACyber StyleAug 31
♦STERCATA:
In this deck i've changed tech cards a lot, depending on what i was against more frequently, for exeple whenever i find a long streak of amazoness i was putting jinzo in it, if you find a lot of fur hire try to put some enemy controller/canadia.
dynaterium is there to help your starting hand, but you can tech it with thunder vassal or one more midfielder; if you don't feel confortable with jinzo try adding more backrow removal. Canadia is also a great card and you can still use your treacherous, but i don't have any
Matchups:

- Amazoness: this deck complitely oblirate Amazoness, since everything in this deck counters It, 3 spell/traps removal, penalty box and High atk Monsters are lethal, also if you play jinzo version it's autowin
-masked Heroes: depends on your opponent's Hand and yours, it's 50% winrate against them, if they start with Hey trunade You are done for unless You are holding sphere kuriboh in your Hand

- Spellbook: your spell/traps removal are essential against spellbook of judgement, if You don't start with any of them You Can Just rely in rebounder's special summon

-fur hire: try to not get otk by them: if You manage to survive from their First turn it's Easy to clear the field thanks to dreadnought
- Vampires: you won't find them frequently, but it's not a good matchup for Ultra Athletes, you are gonna aim to cyclone their kingdom/domain, but most of the times, if they play well, there isn't much you can do.

-Ua: during mirror matches whoever has higher atk or penalty box wins, that's it

The_big_BHoly GuardSept 4
♦ The_big_B:
Instead of the Parasite infection version I used to kog last month, for this kc cup I opted for Holy Guard, because of the Fur Hire matchup being much easier with the nerfs, thus not needing lava golem.

I decided to use Amazoness Spy to substitute Pet Tiger, which was really important in the previous Holy Guard lists, then I used one memory loss instead of a second chalice because it stops amazoness from making their big plays much consistently.

Only bad matchup is Fur SSA, but if you make the right choiches, you can still win against them.

♦ thunder kid:
The way to use the deck is to open up with flood gate or canadia to stop fur hires, UA, and heros, wall of disruption and sphere kuriboh for protection, amazoness willpower to bring back monsters, and onslaught to banish openent's monsters. 1 witch raider for back row removal, 1 d hero plasma to take openent's monster, 3 princesses to search onslaught, 3 swordswomam to inflict damage 3 saves to remove spell/trap.

Tommm94LP Boost αAug 31
♦ Tommm94:
This Tricky/Gusto Deck it’s very fast and simply to use, by discarding gryphon you can special summon Reeze and use his powerfull effect about changing monster’s control. Jinzo and Forbidden Dress are very important in this deck cause are they are the only backward. This version is very powerfull against the most used decks like Masked Hero, Amazoness, and Fur Hire. It suffers Spellbook of Fate, for this reason i often use Antimagic Arrows, the ability LP increase is cruciale cause give you a last change avoiding the OTK by Fur Hires and UA.

It's the basic fur hire deck. Just wanted to show the alternative of using Anti-Magic Arrows to OTK as they served me very well on the way to level 20.

I just got Level Max with only two wins in a row, however that only happened after winning a lot and only losing my promotion matches. Maybe the game makes someme kind of calculation among wins and loses to let you climb without winning 5 matches in a row

Seriously? 8 win streak (3 while in dlv18 and 5 while in dlv19), still didn’t reach dlv max yet, but most of the are winning by enemy surrender.

Some terrible players just ask for nerfs all the time, they want all decks nerf´d.
====================
But if a nerf really happens, they will say: ``oh they nerf decks because they want you to buy more, it's a cash grabber``.

How they never pay attention to the demans of those jerks who pretend to be players.

Also for those of you who don't know, chaining Typhoon/Wild Tornado/Twister/Double Cyclone/Cosmic Cyclone/Dust Tornado to the activation of SSA destroys it

Obviously cyclone banishes and is irrelevant to my point of destroying SSA before it protects itself so ignore that

This KC Cup is really messed. The RNG is wack in this game and possibly rigged. Also Dlv. 19 should be 3 wins and you move on not 5. Konami has a lot of work to do.

If i were you, i would spend that $ 50 in Duel Links to buy Tier 1 deck.

I don't think Amazoness are op, but yeah you guys are pretty much right about this: ``When a deck is meta for too long even after new boxes`` the deck is likely to be touched, yep. But it's done just to promote deck diversity, one the other hand I really disagree with the ban of onslaught, the card that SHOULD be limited is amazoness princess.
---Princess limited to 2
---Econ limited to 2

I say Onslaught @ 1 would be enough. Princess is really only good now for that +1, her second effect isn't as useful as it used to be with Baby Tiger...so it should be fine @ 3 as long as Onslaught goes to 1. E-Con should also be limited since it's still a game stealer (basically the same reason Brain Control was banned in TCG).

I made it to Stage 2 with Tea Amazoness. *.* If I remember it correctly, normally you would need 3 wins at dlvl 20 to join stage 2, but I could play already for DP. Is this some change or was it because I was Stage 2 in the last KC Cup? Or did they just remove 'win 3 games in a row to join stage 2 while being dlvl 20'?

Yeah, I was 2 victories away from reaching DLV MAX and my last opponent was some jerk who just spend the whole duel wasting time, doing nothing, taking minutes to even draw. By the time I finally defeated the KC Cup was over, now I can't even report the prick for wasting time just to troll with people.
