Some of you may be questioning my deck choice at regionals. I didn't go with stun, but instead i played chaos dragons. Honestly, i feel like stun is just not the deck for this meta. With the game swinging towards momentum rather than advantage, 1-1 control play really does not have much place here. An example would be, i have a banisher, starlight road, dimensional prison and 1200 life points left. My opponent has just his topdeck. If he were to say topdeck a rescue rabbit, well, my cards are irrelevant. With this inability to control, I had to make a meta choice. Rogue or tier. given that i had no rogue decks built for the current meta, i went with the most budget, and in my opinion the best adapted of the current meta decks: chaos dragons. I do not think that chaos dragons are the best meta deck. They aren't. That title belongs without a doubt in my mind to dino rabbit. However, given the state of the current meta, chaos dragons are the deck with the least bad matchups. Lets look at some matchups.
Chaos Dragons vs. .... Dino Rabbit - The decks best matchup. You should lose very few of these.
Inzektors - A 50/50 shot. Whoever gets the more aggressive hand and gets set up first wins.
Windups - If you get looped, you can lose. Otherwise, they are too slow and too small.
Hero Beat - If you can get some monsters in grave, they die fast. just goes to show 2500> 1900.
Dark worlds - Can cause a problem depending on build. If they can get skill drain and grapha up, and heavy storm gets milled, it can be a long day. Otherwise, very easy to otk, and help set up graveyard a lot.
Lets compare this to....
Dino Rabbit vs. ....... Chaos Dragons - A horrible matchup. Everything beats you down and floats.
Inzektors - 50/50 shot. If you give them an opening, they can make your day very unhappy.
Windups - Trouble if they loop. Any other time, they're in trouble.
Hero Beat - If you crack their defense, they die.
Dark Worlds - Auto lose, except in case of dead draws. Grapha > Laggia Attack wise.
Given i don't have the money to play rabbit anyway, its nice to know chaos dragons have better meta matchups than them. This has been a stumbling, low quality post by: Tsgreen
