ACQ 2017 with Mono True Draco

Mono/Pure. No Zoodiac, WindWitch or Spellbook engine.

Introduction



This is the decklist MyPochi and GeoTheBacon piloted during the recent ACQ 2017. The deck they both used were very similar with just a few minor differences.

GeoTheBacon swapped out Different Dimensional Ground for Fossil Dyna Pachycephalo, while MyPochi replaced it with Greydle Eagle instead.

The Extra Deck is just packing a variety of Rank 5s and 6s, with some synchro options at Level 8,9 and 11 in case you ever need them. 

Some play Level 10 synchros in fear that a Level 7 Kaiju might appear out of nowhere.

There are other options that both players didn't include but are still viable:
  • Vanity's Emptiness
  • Skull Meister
  • Mind Control
  • Solemn Warning & Solemn Judgement
  • Dimensional Fissure
  • Mirror Force and its variants
 Each card has its own merits, so have fun modifying and making your own deck.  

Conclusion



Both GeoTheBacon and MyPochi finished 4-2. MyPochi lost one to GeoTheBacon and another to a True King Dino deck. GeoTheBacon lost to the champion of the event, piloting True King Dino, and another against a True Draco Zoodiac.

I would say they both did fairly well, as the games that they lost were a 'back-and-forth' game. Ironically, GeoTheBacon committed a few unforgiving misplays but managed to make it for the Top 16 cut. Although he finished Top 16 ultimately.
MyPochi was quite confident he didn't do any suboptimal play, but was probably a few spots behind GeoTheBacon.
