Duel Zone #1

Hello everyone,

Sunday 17th of April, in Paris, OTK Expert (a french magazine) and Strataegyc (a french association) organized a tournament where 120 players tried to win 3 booster boxes of Cosmos Blazer, (and if you could reach the top 8, you already won 1 display.)

After 7 rounds and a top 16,  the two finalist decided to split the prices, making them go home with 2,5 booster boxes of Cosmo Blazer each.

The Top 16 contained :
- 5 Mermail
- 5 Fire Fist
- 2 HERO
- 1 Six Samurai
- 1 Karakuri
- 1 Chaos Dragon
- 1 Wind-Up

And here are the decklists :
(I will update as soon as I gather the other decklists)

Karakuri is not so bad after all

I have played Karakuri for awhile and after that I played Karakuri Machina Plants thinking it was better, and then I played Six Samurai ^^ (It was after Storm of Ragnarok was release). After Komachi 224 Ninishi was release in Extreme Victory I kept on playing Karakuri Machina Plant but not for tournaments. I was thinking "as long as nobody proves to me that Karakuri can make a apparition in a Top 16 of something, I won't play it for tournaments." So now is the time, Karakuri just lost in the Top 4 of the last YCS (YCS Kansas City) and one other lost in the Top 16.

There is the decklist of the Karakuri player who made it to Top 4:
