Top Table Update: Round 6

Satellarknights are hanging in, but the gap may be closing between Shaddolls and Burning Abyss! Meanwhile a quick glance at the top tables from Table 11 and beyond revealed that the rogue Decks are dropping like flies, with Fire Kings the one surprising strategy left. Check out the numbers!
Shaddolls: 7
Burning Abyss: 7
Satellarknights: 5
Kings: 1
No more Bujins and Hieratics here, but Satellarknights appear to be doing a bit better after last Round’s competition. What’s unclear right now is the variety between builds of the three top Decks: at present, we don’t know how many Shaddoll decks are playing Artifacts; how many Satellarknights are playing big monster lineups versus small ones; nor what support monsters and discard-costed cards each Burning Abyss Deck is running, or whether they’re playing Rank-Up-Magic Astral Force (not every Burning Abyss Duelist wound up playing it this weekend).
Will we see more rogue decks breaking into the top tables? We still have four more Rounds of Swiss competition, so it’s still a possibility. But right now in this moment it really does seem like the Big Three from Duelist Alliance are dominating the weekend.
