Meta Check – Irish Kotei
This weekend we have the Irish Kotei in Cork at Warpcon. This is the second Kotei with the full Imperial cycle and at around 200 people in attendance is the biggest yet, although the Paris Grand Kotei is sure to blow past that number. This is home turf for many of us on Imperial Advisor and we’re all going to be in attendance either playing or staffing. Updates will be added as the Kotei progresses.
Day 1 – Saturday
Not what anyone expected. We might have expected Scorpion and Dragon to be the most represented. Instead Crab are followed by Phoenix. The players who aren’t faction locked might see Crab as a potential spoiler to the Dragon Scorpion decks that are commonly expected to do well.
At the end of day 1 we had 12 people qualifying for the top round and another 7 clan challengers. The breakdown of the 12 that qualified before challengers are included is below.
Day 2 – Sunday

It was pretty awesome having lots of people come up at the Irish Kotei to say they enjoy the content. My only regret is I didn’t have time to chat more with people as there were so many things to do!
Thank you for the awesome work and the great coverage. You guys are the best!
You continue to provide an invaluable service to the community with these comprehensive and beautiful summaries. Fantastic work, dude.
I started 4 weeks ago with the game and pretty much enjoy all the content here!
Congratulations on the work you are doing with Imperial Advisor. Every week, consult your page. It is a good reference for new agents as for veterans. Greetings from Barcelona.
Just encourage you to do such a fantastic work. The information you give us is important for the community and the local players, thanks a lot.
Wow it is awesome.
Keep on posting please. It was my first time to attend Kotei and I enjoyed too.
GReat read!
Thanks so much for all your work.
Great work as usual. To have access to all the decklist is simply awesome. Thank you!
Hi. Thanks for the article. Just a mistake in my deck (Dragon-Josselin): it is the Hiruma skirmisher, not ambusher ; )
That makes a lot more sense. List updated. Congrats on your performance! Any tips on how to play Dragon? I also see a few interesting choices where you’ve diverged from the classic Kingsley deck, how did those changes work out?
