10+ years after the Exodia pieces got hit, no one would ever imagine that a vanilla monster with 0 Atk could potentially be hit on the banlist.

[@mr.crowley8750]

If they hit something it will be Jasmin

[@cyber5787]

@@mr.crowley8750 I know hitting other cards like Jasmine or some of the Rikka engine would be more correct, but I want them to hit the vanilla. It is funny lolol

[@andrejv.2834]

Isso realmente foi incrível!! Agora fiquei motivado a fazer algo a respeito sobre Rikka . Let's Gooo 🔥

[@Crawlum]

Jessica is just an awesome player! Super technical, hitting hard at the right moment. Well deserved the victory. I think that's the difference between playing a deck that you know at its best vs playing a META deck just because it's meta. At a certain moment I thought Chris would turn the game on his favor on game 3, but it was an awesome final. Like watching a world cup final between Argentina vs Trinidad y Tobago, with Trinidad y Tobago wining the cup 🎉

[@Keldeo-gx]

Christian played almost perfectly during the match, he could have won but small mistake cost the title. Such a intense game, you can’t blame him while sitting behind your screen

[@xfx-gw4ec]

He definetly didn't play perfectly. There were serveral missplays in this match, but he did a good job coming so far. This guy deserves respect for that.

Such a deserved victory for Jessica. She had the right tech choices for the event leading to that amazing result. She inspired me with her videos to play Rikka myself and ever since I just love the deck. It's so versatile and every hand plays so different when looking to find the best end board while playing around handtraps. Congratulations Jessica! And wish you the best of luck for Worlds!

[@paulgoss5944]

More than a dozen topcut results, place 5 of the worlds playoff, 2nd in the main event and that should be the most casual kashtira player? I guess you don't know the competitive scene very much since he was already quite known and respected before that weekend.

[@eonflutehza131]

Can someone explain the attack declaration misplay?

[@MVAS-mp9oo]

1. Scareclaw Kash is summoned on ATK Position, while being the only thing that could smack out Mudan. 2. Fenrir attacked Mudan and used it's effect to banish facedown... Dryas, then realizing Fenrir's ATK with no Planet is same as Mudan's DEF (2400). If he banished Mudan instead, he can attack directly. Granted Dryas can undo the damage and heal 300 off the healer, but Riseheart will finish the job (8300+600 - 1500 = 7400 for time) or try to wall with Thrasher (800+800 = 1600 ATK), but with Scare Kash' eff the ATK gain will be negated, again enabling Riseheart to finish the job. 3. He has prosperity, which would grab him the E-Con to switch Mudan into ATK position, thus winning the game.
