Deck Spotlight: Matt Laurents’s SJC San Fran Soul Control Matt Laurents represented Team Comic Odyssey at San Francisco’s Shonen Jump Championship, and took a respectable third place in the Top 8. His deck choice? A Soul Control variant packed with tech, supported by a strong Pot of Avarice engine. While Soul Control has been a longstanding powerhouse in the current format, Laurents’s build is unique. The three copies of Dekoichi the Battlechanted Locomotive and the pair of Magical Merchant allowed him some interesting beneﬁts most duelists don’t usually have. Not only did he have a solid drawing engine due to his use of Tsukuyomi, but he was able to slow the fast tempos of aggressive Warrior, Chaos, and Return from the Different Dimension decks. In doing so, he was frequently able to buy himself time. Once he got them and was able to pull off a Monarch summon with Brain Control or Soul Exchange, he could protect his investment with the pair of My Body As A Shield. With the amount of monster removal ﬂoating around in the current environment My Body was an unexpected success. Add Pot of Avarice to the mix and you’ve got a winning deck. Avarice can draw on the fallen Dekoichis and Merchants, and the latter can bury more monsters in the process of resolving its own effect. It wasn’t rare for Laurents to be leading a staggering opponent by two or three cards worth of presence in a matter of turns, and his ability to capitalize on his own momentum drove his climb through the Swiss rounds on Day 1. In the end, only the use of a pair of Spirit Reaper AND a pair of Don Zaloog brought Laurents down, when he faced the SJC’s eventual Champion, Fili Luna. ~Jason Grabher-Meyer Monsters: 19 1 Breaker the Magical Warrior 1 Zaborg the Thunder Monarch 2 Mobius the Frost Monarch 2 Thestalos the Firestorm Monarch 3 Dekoichi the Battlechanted Locomotive 1 Sangan 1 Magician of Faith 3 Gravekeeper’s Spy 2 Spirit Reaper 2 Magical Merchant 1 Tsukuyomi Spells: 13 2 Pot of Avarice 1 Premature Burial 2 My Body as a Shield 1 Heavy Storm 1 Brain Control 1 Snatch Steal 1 Book of Moon 1 Nobleman of Crossout 1 Dark Hole 1 Soul Exchange 1 Mystical Space Typhoon Traps: 8 2 Widespread Ruin 1 Torrential Tribute 3 Sakuretsu Armor 1 Call of the Haunted 1 Bottomless Trap Hole
