Random stuff like Karakuri that just opens broke.

More trips to other events
Why are you excited about the ARG Metro Series event?
Real prizes, a lot of premiere players
What deck did you play today and why?
Dragon rulers, it's the best deck

Mirror, I like side decked games and practiced a bunch

Geargia. It's a hard matchup

Not really, I just hope a lot of people don't play it, normally you can beat rogue decks,but I'm scared of maindecked hate
The ban list is going is going to be announced next Friday, what cards would you like to see banned or un-banned?
[ccProd]Cyber Jar[/ccProd] unbanned, not for the game, but it's my favorite card. I think Return and Sixth Sense will be banned. Dragons severely hit but Dragon Rulers stay unlimited, hit [ccProd]Dragon Ravine[/ccProd] and [ccProd]Sacred Sword of Seven Stars[/ccProd]

What would you do with the Prize money if you won?
Travel and accomodations for future events.
Why are you excited about the ARG Metro Series event?
Great and flexible  prizes, whatever I want rather than just prize cards
What deck did you play today and why?
Dragon Rulers, since all dragons are floaters it makes it so that other decks can't keep up
What deck are you prepared for?
Lots of playtesting, so I know which cards to Wing Blast and what cards are more essential to their strategy
What deck do you not want to play against today and why?
Geargia and other decks with the ability to use floodgate cards and stop you from playing the game.
After last week's event in Turin, what do you think changed in the Meta and what changes did you make to account for them?
I feel that European meta isn't that important here, I don't believe hype would follow even though now people might think outside of the box because they think they'll play vs. Fire Fist or Geargia, but overall meta is the same
The ban list is going is going to be announced next Friday, what cards would you like to see banned or un-banned?
Lightsworn and GK are getting new support.  I can see Solar Recharge to 2 and GK getting hit somehow.  All the Big Dragons to 2. Sixth Sense is a toss up, I don't see it getting banned because not all decks like milling

What would you do with the Prize money if you won?
 Go to future events.
Why are you excited about the ARG Metro Series event?
1000$ prize pool is great and it's better than what wee are used to.
What deck did you play today and why?
Dragon Ruler, it has the three fundamental things that make a deck good: speed, consistency, and power.
What deck are you prepared for?
Evilswarms, since it's the worst matchup, siding for it was key and so I sided accordingly.
What deck do you not want to play against today and why?
Evilswarms and pretty much anything that can flip up Imperial Iron Wall in game 1.
After last week's event in Turin, what do you think changed in the Meta and what changes did you make to account for them?
Honestly I didnt even know before it happened, sometimes a deck just wins cause of a meta call or surprise.
The ban list is going is going to be announced next Friday, what cards would you like to see banned or un-banned?
Everything that has been created in the past 3 years. Book of Moon to three since it's the only good defensive card that doesn't get hit by cards like Trap Stun and there's no crazy stuff you can do with it.

What would you do with the Prize money if you won?
Travel to future events.
Why are you excited about the ARG Metro Series event?
Different crowd coming to play, good to see ARG runs these events and more big events is good thing.
What deck did you play today and why?
Dragunity Ruler, it applies more pressure consistently, I haven't tried Trident Dragion version yet so I can't comment on that one.
What deck are you prepared for?
Evilswarm or mirror, my maindeck is built for mirror or any variant of dragon rulers and evilswarm since I haves a lot of outs to Ophion and traps.
What deck do you not want to play against today and why?
Spellbook just because their maindeck isn't good for me, but I should be fine after game 1.
After last week's event in Turin, what do you think changed in the Meta and what changes did you make to account for them?
I put more stun hate in side like [ccProd]Malevolent Catastrophe[/ccProd] and others.
The ban list is going is going to be announced next Friday, what cards would you like to see banned or un-banned?
Return and Sixth Sense banned, [ccProd]Brotherhood of the Fire Fist - Cardinal[/ccProd] banned, I hate birds

Why are you excited about the ARG Metro Series event?
Get to see my friends again
What deck did you play today and why?
D Trap Rulers, the advantages of dragons and lots of traps to slow others down
What deck are you prepared for?
Constellar and Dragon Ruler, Constellar is an easy matchup and Dragon Ruler is the deck I playtested against most.
What deck do you not want to play against today and why?
Evilswarm, and burn, because Evilswarm is a bad matchup and burn is unskillful.
After last week's event in Turin, what do you think changed in the Meta and what changes did you make to account for them?
Geargia is on the map, I decided to main more Mystical Space Typhoon
The ban list is going is going to be announced next Friday, what cards would you like to see banned or un-banned?
Shockmaster returns for Wind-Ups! I'd love to see [ccProd]Dragon Ravine[/ccProd] go to one since it's too overpowered in its searching and dumping abilities.

What deck are you prepared for?
The mirror of Dragon Ruler variants, played with my friend Andrew that I came with.

Evilswarms, because I'm not aware of all of their combos not a lot of people play them at my locals.

I didn't change anything but I think we might see more different decks but the meta is still predominantly dragons.

 Return and Sixth Sense banned, I want Snatch Steal back because its my favorite card, I'd like to see the Big Dragons put to 2 or 1.
