As we head into Round 8 here in Day 1, Justin Delhon is undefeated with a simple, effective Gadget build that draws on Reborn Tengu, plus a suite of oppressive control monsters. The Gadget Deck is all about throwing self-replacing monsters at your opponent, and wearing them down with simple destruction cards like Mystical Space Typhoon; Solemn Warning; Bottomless Trap Hole; and more. The strategy? If you can keep destroying all of your opponent’s cards with simple card-for-card destruction effects, then all you need is a single Gadget to get the job done. One Gadget becomes two Gadgets, and that second Gadget gets you another; even if your opponent fights back to take down one of your monsters, you’ve always got another one waiting in the wings. Eliminate all of your opponent’s cards, and your pint-sized clockworks are free to bat cleanup. Delhon mixed that philosophy with a bunch of control-oriented monsters this weekend, and the result is a truly devastating Deck. Check it out!

Earlier today we showed you Alex Vansant’s Tengu Gadget Synchro Deck in a Deck Profile, which hinges on the use of Ultimate Offering to unlock massive Synchro combos. Here in Round 6, Vansant is 4-1, and is set to duke it out with Patrick Hoban, and his Debris Plant Chaos Deck. The winner of this Match would move on with their Day 2 dreams intact. The other Duelist might have a tough time making it to Round 9 tomorrow.

I first spoke to Ramin Ghodoumipour while interviewing Duelists for Quick Questions. When he told me he’s using Big Piece Golem as his “secret tech” that will bring him ahead of the competition, I didn’t think much of it. But now, Ramin Ghodoumipour is 5-1 with his Koa’ki Meiru Gadget Deck. The secret’s out, and it turns out that Big Piece Golem really works.

Ramin Ghodoumipour is running a teched out Gadget Deck that uses 3 copies each of Koa’ki Meiru Guardian and Koa’ki Meiru Sandman to negate the effects of his opponent’s Effect Monsters and Trap Cards. His Deck is filled with other surprises too, including 2 Main Decked copies of Legendary Jujitsu Master and a copy of Gaia Plate the Earth Giant, which may make this a tough Match for his opponent, Sean Coovert, running a traditional X-Saber Deck. Both of these Duelists are currently 4-1, so a win here will put one of these players into great position for a Day 2 finish.
