Meta Check – Seattle Grand Kotei
The Seattle Grand Kotei, the first Grand Kotei in the US since PAX Unplugged. This is a 1-day Grand Kotei, so the top 2 of each clan will be awarded the Hatamoto title.
Elemental Cycle – Pack 1 - Breath of the Kami
The first pack of the elemental cycle is focused on the element of Air. We got the team together to go through the cards in the pack.
Meta Check – Bologna Kotei
Bologna Kotei is the last of the European Koteis. Will Europe finally manage to shake the ‘pincer’ dominion of the Scorpion and Crab following the US example at Origins?
Meta Check – Origins
The Ohio Kotei, at the Origins event, is the first US Kotei under the restricted list. With only 43 players it is disappointingly small, but there are a few well know players at the event.
Meta Check – Melbourne
Melbourne is the first Kotei after the Birmingham Grand Kotei. The players will have seen what was successful during the testing grounds of Birmingham and hopefully will be able to refine and adapt. The expectation is that we’ll see Scorpion and Crab dominating the top tables but hopefully, Melbourne will surprise us!

The Birmingham Grand Kotei is the first event using the restricted list, so we are paying special attention to this tournament.

Defensive Dishonor Theory
The Scorpion clan are having a stellar Kotei season, with a significant portion of their success due to Fro Top’s excellent switch deck focused on Conflict Characters and card draw. In this article, I’m going to talk about a different style of deck, one that focuses on a control and denial strategy. This strategy forces both players to draw fewer cards and thus starves more aggressive decks of the fuel they require to close out the game. A deck based on this theory saw great success at Gencon and Worlds, making top of clan for both events.
Meta Check – San Francisco
This is one of two events happening this weekend. At last, the Kotei season is kicking off in America and we have a chance to see what the meta is currently like over there. These will be the last two events before the restricted list, so it’ll be our last chance to judge the post-disciples pre-restricted list environment.
