Today's event is a local one that we hold three times a year – an event with extra prizes and a higher level of competition. It's an exciting time, as everyone prepares for it and comes from not only Victoria, but from up the island – Courtenay and Nanaimo are represented as well.

Deck Feature – Graham Cox
Graham hails from Campbell River, and today we're going over his Gladiator Beast deck which he's brought down to challenge our local meta.

War Chariot drove me nuts; so I decided to build a deck around it. And so I decided to bring this down; I tried different builds; using Elemental Hero Prisma, for instance. Tech cards like Thunder King are in for stopping special summons. Respite is a new thing I'm trying out today; and I think it's great for draw, getting into your spells and traps faster, while setting spells and traps while you have Thuder King in play.

Side deck has Dimensional Fissure to deal with graveyard based strategies, and it also works well against Lightsworn, which appears in this meta. I had a hard time to deciding between Trap Stun or Dust Tornado in the main.

I think it has a fair chance against everything because it has Thunder King, War Chariot, Consecrated Light, and Mask of Restrict to deal with most problems. I don't think I'll be running against frogs, but it's there for that problem. Mind Crush and Dust Shoot are pretty amazing too; opening hand it's almost game as you know what's in their hand anyway and you're ditching their cards away. And of course we know how broken Rescue Cat in, and Cold Wave just seals the deal.

Deck Feature – Nyko Coffey

I thought that this deck would be pretty interesting; I wasn't really playing during the Lightsworn format and hadn't gotten to try this yet.

This deck does pretty well, except for some of the less played deck types like Infernity or Final Countdown.

I thought more of a more anti-meta sort of side deck. I noticed I wasn't maining Mirror Force so I decided to put it in the side deck. For the most part this is my own deck, although I did look up several builds online, but then I just pieced together one of my own. I am borrowing most of these cards from my friend Cody Swanberg, who couldn't be here today because of his work.

Nyko is currently 2-0, and we're on our break right now.
