The Power from Above

Mario here and before I officially begin this post I must mention two things. Firstly, I will be unable to upload videos this week because someone else is borrowing my camera for the week. Secondly, I am not attending Nationals unfortunately. My family and friends want to celebrate this holy occasion, my birthday, all week and particularly on the weekend. It's irritating but uncontrolable. I guess I'm that special of a person... I never knew...

Anyway today's post is on Fairies. The deck received a boost from the Lost Sanctuary starter deck. I believe it is a worthy deck for tournaments although it isn't as explosive as Plants or Six Samurai. By now everyone is aware of the noteworthy cards that the structure deck released and the popular cards most players use so I won't waste time explaining these cards. Today I just want to discuss my two favorite builds and what I will play when I gather the cards I'm missing. First is a Herald/ Agent deck from the top 8 at YCS Providence.

2 Archlord Kristya
3 Herald of Orange Light
3 Herald of Perfection
1 Honest
3 Manju of the Ten Thousand Hands
3 Master Hyperion
2 Senju of the Thousand Hands
1 Sonic Bird
2 Soul of Purity and Light
3 The Agent of Miracles - Jupiter
3 The Agent of Mystery - Earth

3 Dawn of the Herald
1 Giant Trunade
1 Monster Reborn
2 Pot of Duality
3 Preparation of Rites

2 Gozen Match
2 Safe Zone

1 Ally of Justice Catastor
1 Ancient Fairy Dragon
1 Armory Arm
1 Avenging Knight Parshath
1 Black Rose Dragon
1 Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier
1 Chimeratech Fortress Dragon
1 Colossal Fighter
1 Flamvell Uruquizas
1 Gaia Knight, the Force of Earth
1 Light End Dragon
1 Magical Android
1 Scrap Dragon
1 Thought Ruler Archfiend
1 Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier

The build centers around Herald of Perfection locking down the opponent. Then Master Hyperior arrives and destroys the opponent. The strategy is fairly simple. The next build is one that won a tournament in Japan on July 3.

1x Gemknight Parl 「ジェムナイト・パール」
1x Solid-Frozen Gantetsu 「ガチガチガンテツ」
1x Daigusta Phoenix 「ダイガスタ・フェニクス」

This build revolves around activating the Sanctuary in the Sky and abusing the cards that correspond with the field spell. This is also fairly straight-forward. The build I want to manufacture is an amalgamtion of the above two types. I believe fairies need as much offense and defense that it can receive. Herald of Perfection provides the ultimate defense while the Sanctuary enables the hidden abilities of certain other cards along with negating battle damage when a fairy battles. I want as much power as available when playing Agents. I will never play Agents competitively in this format because Plants are better (not to mention I have put in insane amount of thought and practice into Plants). However I believe that Fairies will not be badly attacked on the next ban list because Plants and Six Samurai are better. Next format when I have the cards I require (which doesn't include Archlord Kristya unless it's released in the 2011 tins or the Generation Force Special Edition) I will construct this deck and see success with it.
