    The Creative Deck Strategy Showdown 4 Is Here!

    QuincymccoyBy QuincymccoyNovember 3, 2020No Comments

    Check out this creative deck tournament, featuring more competitively-rogue options than ever, and please provide feedback on my content!

    The Creative Deck Strategy Showdown – IV!

    Welcome to a digital display of creative decks dueling it out! 32 strategies will enter a knockout bracket, but only one will come out victorious. This event was hosted on my YouTube channel for the site, so please subscribe to not miss future events. This post marks the end of the event and serves as a hub article to visit all 11 videos. Lastly, I ask that you leave feedback on CDSS4 in the link provided in the Feedback Warrior section near the end of this article. If you missed out on CDSS1, CDSS2, or CDSS3, be sure to check that out too!

    Who is participating?

    32 different strategies, pulled from past articles as far as my second article in 2013, recent strategies as close as those posted 2 weeks ago, cancelled articles from over the years, and themes that had yet to be showcased by me in a profile appear here! From hybrid variants to pure approaches, this list covers a wide swath of favorites from my past builds, and a couple returns of popular themes! All builds from past articles have been updated for the current TCG format and existing cross-region cardpool, so some of the old strategies may have gotten a significant upgrade! For a rundown of the participants and their custom promo art, open the spoiler below! CDSS4 was broken into 8 Pods to consolidate the tournament into a shorter timeframe, each Pod offering a strategy a spot in the Top 8! So let’s get into these Pods!

    Acknowledgements:

    As a closing note, thanks again to everyone who has read and engaged with my content since I began posting here in 2013. Each of the CDSS events seemed be well-recieved, so I’d also like to thank all of the individual contributors who have requested strategies over the years, as many of those requests are represented in these events. I couldn’t do it alone, and your input is extremely valuable in crafting what I write about next!

    I’d also like to acknowledge Blackbeltsam5610 who assisted with refining the builds yet again for CDSS4. Their help was outstanding in providing improvements and just great overall feedback when preparing everything. So thank you, very much, for all of your input.

    Please let me know how you liked CDSS4:

    If you’re reading this far and you’ve engaged with parts of the CDSS4 at any point, please also take the time to answer this short questionnaire so I can get some direct feedback. I want to hear from you whether or not you want to see something like this again, and if so, what you would like in the future. The form can be accessed here: https://forms.gle/PCqAAjQdqwKDsBaC7

    Thanks for reading/watching, and I hope you enjoyed both iterations of the CDSS and my attempt to provide diverse types of content! Be sure to leave feedback through the above form, commenting on any of these videos on my YouTube Channel, or by reaching out on Discord! Otherwise, I’ll catch you later this week when I get back to regularly posting new CDPs!
