With at least three major Decks coming out of Abyss Rising, we hit the tournament floor to ask Duelists from all walks of life whether they believed the new and revamped strategies would make it to the Top 32 this weekend.  First up?  Madolches!

Madolche Ticket and Madolche Messengelato add more consistency and search power to the Madolche strategy, but the biggest new addition to the Madolche arsenal is Madolche Queen Tiaramisu!  A stunning boss-level monster, Tiaramisu’s dangerous because she’s an Xyz Monster – you don’t have to draw her.  Unleashing the Queen is as easy as overlaying two Level 4 Madolche monsters, and from there her effect can send up to two of the opponent’s cards from the field back to their Deck.  Add in Madolche Chateau and Madolche Ticket, and her effect can return cards to your hand and Special Summon a Madolche from your Deck, too.

So, what percentage of the Duelists we interviewed believed Madolches could make the playoff rounds?  In true Madolche fashion, the pie graph tells the tale!

Only 21% of our Duelists believed that Madolche could go the distance.  Were they right!  We won’t know until tomorrow.
