Hanzo saw a new light!

Hi guys zup? It's been a while since I have posted here.Anyway Top Store Tournament is over and seriously it is a waste of time.Why? Because unlike last year, the winner for the tournament will have a chance to represent his store, to face the winners from different parts of Southeast Asia.Now the prizes are just a simple play mat, which we sell to our Japanese friend (for 1500 pesos LOL) and EXP3 for the top 2-8(yes you read that right) and the champ received A box of EXP5. Anyway that is over and I would like to share to you, what I have been using lately and here it is:


Deck: Hanzo Hieratics

Monsters:22
3 Su
3 Eset
1 Nebthet
3 Tefnuit
3 Hanzo
2 Maxx "c"
2 Effect Veiler
2 Wattail Dragon
2 Tragoedia
1 REDMD

Spells:12
2 Hieratic Seal of Convocation
2 Nightshot
3 Mystical Space Typhoon
1 Forbidden Lance
1 Heavy Storm
1 Monster Reborn
2 Pot of Duality

Traps:6
3 Ninjitsu Art of Supertransformation
2 Torrential Tribute
1 Solemn Judgment

Extra Deck:
2 Constellar M7
3 Hieratic King Atum
3 Gaia Thunder Charger
1 Inzektor Exa-beetle
1 Volcasaurus
1 Tiras
1 Constellar Pleides
1 Sword Breaker
1 Photon Bounzer
1 Focus Force

I decided to use Ninja Hieratics because of the advantage I can get from the newly legalized card in the form of Constellar M7!!! My favorite play of this deck is to summon Hanzo and set Super Transformation and turn your opponent's monster into a dragon(usually is Su) then next turn clear backrow and go for OTK or go and summon Constellar M7 and pickup Hanzo from GY and proceed to make your opponent's monsters into another Hieratic LOL. Heck you can even recycle your hand traps to make your opponent's life a living hell.


Before, I was using Standard Hieratics but as each match I play, I realized one thing and that is other than Tragoedia and Gorz,I have no real defense, then that decided me to use Hanzo Hieratics. Sure the deck is slower that standard Hieratics but there is always a time where you need to wait and exhaust your opponent's resources before you go for the final push.Before, I always go YOLO with the deck and I have been successful with it.But in this format going YOLO everyday will not take you anywhere,sure you can top but you will never go to higher heights with that strategy.As you can see there is nothing special with the deck,but I can assure you that the deck can stand against the Meta today.It really is funny that a single card turned a deck that was hit by the Ban-list into a contender overnight.So that's it for my post today.


Oh before I forgot I would like to thank the following people:
Shahmir- For teaching me how to use Hieratics
Andrew Ng- for trolling Shahmir and for letting me watch his games on DN.
Mike Ting - for destroying Standard Hieratics which turned my deck to Hanzo Hieratics overnight LOL
Yuki and Irwin- For Ultra M7
Team Asiong: LOL still the Best Team in the country 6 players in top 16 during Top Store.
Courtside - for another event without them YGO is dead 5 years ago in the country.

See you again later.
