Team Limit Break

Hey guys Travis here with a locals report.  Enck and Diamond arcade and card shop in lebanon PA holds locals every sunday and its one of team limit breaks hot spots for playing.  This is the first local that barcgal is banned for us and I intended to prove that royal paladin is still to be feared and i did just that.  Here's the decks we took with us to the local.

Travis- Royal Paladin (KOK Version)
Cory- Spike Brothers (Emperor Version)
Haley- Angel Feather (Kiriel Version)
Josh- Kagero (Lawkeeper Version)

The competition was pretty solid there were 9 players counting us in total and here are the competitor decks.

OTT
Gold Paladin x2
Narukami x2

I'm not going to go into too much detail on specific rounds but the top 4 consisted of 1Gold 1 Kagero 1 Narukami and 1 Spike Brother deck.  The matches were Golds against Spikes and Narukami against Kagero.  My main focus was on the Gold VS Spike game which was severely aggressive up to the very end.
The gold paladin player pushed Cory into 5 damage and made a mistake of opening one of his occupied rear guard zones giving Cory the optimum chance for a rush.  Cory's turn came around and he did just that and the gold paladin player was going to be faced with 5 ferocious attacks thanks to Dudley Emperor.  The rush was going as it should breaking down the opposing player to nothing when unexpectedly on the 4th attack on the losing trigger a heal was flipped for the gold paladin player.  That extra 5000 power was just enough to end Cory's onslaught and turn the game around.  Needless to say Cory could not get through the next turn putting gold paladin into the final rounds.  Josh lost to Narukami and our team had to let the last 2 players go for the win this week.  It was a great tournament needless to say the amount of good players has improved greatly at the Enck and Diamond Shop.

Now On to the real purpose of this article which was to show that royal paladins are indeed still something to fear.  Ill get to test the full force of this deck hopefully this coming weekend once set 3 is released.  The build i took had to make replacements for cards that aren't out yet such as palomedes and toypugal.  I am happy to say that my only losses of the day were to trigger sacks which has nothing to do with the ability of the deck.  Each game played the deck performed admirably and drove aggressive 20k attacks into the opponent and with.  The Alfred variant of royal paladin is most certainly a deck to look for in your first regional event.  Once completed the deck will consistently make 20k-22k rows and they will be created with ease.  The reason for that is a combination of Alfred's skill and cards like High dog breeder, Akane to fill the rows with what is needed when it is needed.  Alfred's skill is a counterblast 3 but unlike the other units that have the same cost his is actually worth the price for the reason it can be used multiple times if possible and also its not a activate on ride effect which lets you plan or save it for later to replace a fallen unit.  I will do a follow up report on this deck in the near future once I have had time to test it and get used to playing it more.  In the end the deck went 2-2 and only lose to trigger sacks as I said before and this deck is something to look out for.  That's all I have for you today guys so until next time keep exceeding your limitations.
