Emperor Edition Decklists #2 (Atlanta Kotei Edition)

The Atlanta Kotei is in the rear view mirror, so it’s about time we got you the decklist information from the Kotei.  Below you’ll find the clan spread for the tournament, the clan spread and decktypes for everyone who made the 5-2 cut, and all of the decklists that made the cut and/or got top of Clan (and who were willing to make their decklists public).  That’s a total of 14 decklists, including the entire T4 and 7 of the T8.

Note that top of Clan was based on results after swiss so the top of clan results will often not sync up with the final post-elims standings.  For example, Jeremy Spencer was in first place after swiss, so he got Top Mantis, even though Lee Steel ended up making T4 with Mantis

    1. Holdings are overrated 😉

      The goal was to buy a turn 1 personality and hence proclaim every turn. The rest of the deck really followed from that. Not needing much gold meant I could cut back on holdings which in turn made the deck more reliable (choosing BK normal over XP helped here too).

      Nice and fast, and very consistent.

      1. IMO it’s a design paradigm shift for Phx and Crane in terms of honor decks. Again, congrats on the win!

  1. Long’s Paragons only has 39 Fate cards…
    Steele’s Economic Warfare only has 37 Dynasty cards…
