I was missing some of what I wanted in here; one less Angel of Evening and one more Shooting Cap, probably, and I really wanted valuable experience in here, but I was making this deck the night before at 4am in the hotel with Wakeen(Megageese)/Shelby/Jacob/April but I couldn't find all the stuff I needed with a few things, so I went with that. I'd also cut Kuzuryu reppa to two probably, or even all together, and add in a two tiger furys instead.

The basic idea was:

Reversal with Heel Snipe, or on my turn Heel Snipe as they're commited slightly, commit their character with it or problem assets, first E: with akuma to commit out their entire staging area (with aquakinesis, i'm running like at least an 8HS, one game I hit a 12HS from Lyonette's Shop on their aqua, and had 4 out myself, i'm able to constantly outbuild them with a lot of 1diff, 0diff, and just good checks.), after this, on my turn, or immediately after, I juni's spiral arrow, saikyo ryu on either one of them. and I could if it was out shooting cap, or angel of evening on either one of them (or both), and, lyonette's would copy BRTs, or whatever I could get to help force spiral arrow through.

What the deck does is completely ignore what they have. almost 100%. Heel Snipe + Akuma is absolutely stupid. That, and ALL the E negation it has, it stopped spinta a lot, No Memories can skip through spike, etc.

Kung Fu Training also pushed spiral arrow through as well. I'll post more about it later, I'm building a deck for teams today at the moment.

Congrats! I've always wanted to build Void Akuma, but I've never owned 4 Seclusion (which I notice you're not even running in here). Glad to hear ya won your regionals, and of course, with Void, no less. Post a report; I wanna hear how the rest of the guys did =)

Nice.. I wonder how it would do if you put in Selfless Giving over Son of a Tycoon, make them ready something you blanked from Ka Technique or made them ready something dumb like Blinding Rage or something

he top decked 4 junis on me. i knew it. T_T

There are definitely a few things I would change about this, and I'm going to try quite a few builds and modifications for it before worlds if i even run this (it's a possibility, we'll see, I almost always play a different deck though, so.). Anyway, I'm very tired, I got home not too long ago and dealt with a few things, I'm just going to go to sleep, i might write a tournament report but it'll be kind of boring, sadly. The deck is kinda like that. I'll probably post a few different build ideas i have for it (including dual symboling and whatnot.)

you won't be able to run it at worlds, Juni's is getting banned.

Well, that's definitely something

While it's not entirely confirmed yet, we'll see how it goes. The new build I had did practically the same thing without the arrow anyway (Or rather, without needing it entirely), and is MUCH more aggro based.

They announced it at nationals and the forums post is supposed to come out on Wednesday!

Dani was there and she told me T_T.

Congrats on winning the tournament, Sage. This is Brandon by the way, the fella you sat next to at dinner. You're a pretty awesome laid-back kind of fella. Hope to meet with ya again.

Yeah, thanks man ;) Was nice meeting you guys, your group from what i've met has been really awesome <3
