THE WAIFUS ARE INVADING!!!!!

The trend of Waifu decks wrecking people at Desu-Nation continues today, as not just one, but THREE of the top four places today consisted of waifu decks.

I ran my Sinon waifu deck (BIG SURPRISE I KNOW), while my good friend Pete ran his Takane deck. Funny thing is, he only decided to play the Takane deck because I was playing my waifu deck as well.

Now then, on to the list of decks used and stuff.

Sword Art Online (Blue – Sinon waifu)

Sword Art Online (Yellow/Blue/Red – Asuna/Sinon/Silica)

Sword Art Online (Yellow/Green/Red – Asuna/Leafa/Silica)

Nisekoi JP (Red/Blue – “Meta”koi)

Nisekoi EN (Chitoge waifu)

Nisekoi EN (Kosaki waifu)

Nisekoi EN (Don’t remember what was in this one, SORRY LOL)

Devil Survivor 2 (Yellow/Blue – standard stuff)

Devil Survivor 2 (Yellow/Blue – standard stuff)

The IDOLM@STER (Blue/Green – Takane waifu)

The IDOLM@STER (Blue/Red – Takane/Haruka, I’m assuming, based off the build he’s been using lately)

Fairy Tail EN (Red/Green – mainly Natsu)

Fairy Tail JP (Blue – mainly Grey)

Kantai Collection EN (Yellow/Green – “meta” build)

Kantai Collection JP (Yellow – Yamato)

Terraformars (Red/Yellow – Akari/Adolf I think)

Love Live (Red/Yellow I think?)

Angel Beats (Yellow/Red – standard)

Kill la Kill (Green/Yellow – Ragyo focused)

Persona 4 EN (Red/Green – Yukiko/Labrys/Chie)

So, a total of 20 players today.

Top 4 was:

Me (Sinon waifu) + Pete (Takane waifu) — we split top 2 spots, cuz that’s a thing (see above) Nisekoi (Kosaki waifu) Nisekoi (JP Metakoi)

Today’s tournament had a lot of players who weren’t regulars, and I… pretty much played against one of these guys Every. Single. Round. LOL

ROUND 1 vs. Nisekoi (Chitoge)

The main problem that I found in my opponent’s playstyle was his inability to maintain card advantage. The fact that Chitoge has little to no ways to magically get card advantage doesn’t help either. Tsugumi and Marika got the best Lv1 Climax Combos, Kosaki and Marika got all the level 1 Clock Encores, and Marika has the plus brainstormer…. o wait that’s right MARIKA IS OP >_>

Right from the beginning, I was able to use 2k1s Shino CX combos to get tons of cards in my hand, while my opponent was struggling to match or beat the power of the cards I had on the board. Eventually it kinda snowballed out of control; my opponent couldn’t get any stock to get characters, couldn’t get enough characters to get any stock, etc. etc. etc. and the game went in my favor very quickly.

ROUND 2 vs. Persona 4 EN (R/G)

I don’t play against Persona a lot. The only deck I play against on a consistent basis is one of the regulars’ Persona Q-based decks, which just uses a fckton of suiciders and then has P3 Protag and the Rei/Zen card for level 3 finishers. As a result, I had NO CLUE what to expect from this deck. My opponent started with a bunch of Level 0 Chies that let you mill when they get attacked, and if the milled card is a Level 0, it gets +1000. That feeling when you get wrecked by the mill gamble and end up losing a character suckssss 😦

But back to the game. I think the important part of the game was my opponent refreshed only like 6 climaxes, then immediately cancelling with 2 of them. I remember his compression based on how many cards I could see that weren’t being refreshed, and I think he had like 6 climaxes in a 36 card deck, which is pretty poor. I think the other 2 climaxes were stuck in his clock. Once he had like 4 climaxes in his deck, he was at 2/4. I played one copy of Sinon 3/2 with climax and was swinging for some pretty high soul thanks to my triggers. I attacked for 3, which got cancelled, then another 3, putting him at Level 3. Then I CX Combo’d for 4, which he took, and then another 3 for game. 10 damage in a row — ouch.

ROUND 3 vs. Kill la Kill (R/G)

This round I got paired down (Pete had defeated this player the round before). This deck focused on using Disguise to play the 2/2 Ragyo at Level 1, then buffing it a crapton, and keeping it safe on the field. For the most part, this was a very ordinary game of Weiss – he kills my stuff, I play bigger stuff, kill his stuff, he kills my stuff, up until the 2/2 Ragyo came out. I think at one point it hit like 16.5k on offense, which is ridiculously huge. Thankfully I didn’t have to deal with that high power too much, as my Sinon CX combo soon dealt some big hits, finishing off my opponent from like early lv3 to game.

ROUND 4 vs. Nisekoi (Kosaki)

Incoming PTSD to round 7 of Springfest, which was the ONLY round I lost in Swiss, and it was against a Kosaki waifu deck. This time it wasn’t the same player, though, and the decklist and playstyle were different as well.

The player I faced today was running the 2k1s “Time Machine” Kosaki combo, which allows him to remove his Kosakis from the game only to bring them back the next turn with a pretty massive power boost. He wasn’t able to chain the CX combo turn after turn, though. The one turn he brought them back after CX comboing, he killed my Sinon clock encores only for me to Clock Encore them back and then kill his Time Machine Kosakis. Level 3 was pretty intense, with my using Sinon CX combos but actually getting cancelled this time, unlike the previous games. There was a time where I ALMOST got shot from 3-0 to 3-7 but thankfully I was able to last-card Cancel a hit for 4. My opponent ended that turn at 3-6 with 1 card left in deck, and all I had to do on my turn was end the turn. Easily my hardest match of the day, and the closest I came to losing.

ROUND 5 – It would’ve been vs. Pete (we were the only two players who were 4-0) but we split, and just celebrated our Waifu victories.

So ends another episode of the Waifu Chronicles. Tune in next week where I will hopefully win again with my sniperinos :^)
