Hey CwC, Whatcha Playin’: Season 3 LC Edition
By Dani Diaz
Hey y’all! It’s been awhile.
With Jacksonville’s DOUBLE LC WEEKEND coming up fast, I wanted to do a little roundtable preview of what the team is bringing! We’re playing a wide range of characters this time around because the meta remains pretty wide open. Some of us are even planning on playing different decks between days 1 and 2!
Without further ado, let’s get to the decks!
Anna
Top 8, Counterspell Season 2
“I’m playing MechaGodzilla, Modified Type-3 Kiryu because I made a cool charge package build for ‘pick your poison’ type gameplay. For day two, I rebuilt Nott the Brave, Chaotic Meddler for Cute Chaos Girlies!”
Cayman
“I’m gonna be playing Rodan, Giant Monster of the Sky on that Void symbol. It’s been too long since I got to tell someone ‘no’ in a bigger tournament.”
Dani
Top 8, Counterspell Season 1
“I’m playing Pumat Sol, Magical Proprietor with a build from the UVS Trans Cabal on day one! For day two, I’m going with Sasha Blouse, Food Fanatic as part of the Cute Chaos Girlies with Anna.”
Derek
Top 4, Counterspell Season 2
Derek is in London for work. Have fun hitting the pubs, guv’nor!
Jett
Winner, Final Round Season 1
3rd, Counterspell Season 1
Winner, Counterspell Season 2
“I will be playing Reiner Braun, Marley’s Shield for day one to get in some practice for the Dallas Regional. If I’m feeling especially whimsical, I’m gonna play Benimaru, Shooting Star on day two (but I’m probably gonna run back Reiner for more reps).”
Jordan
Lives in Texas
Some say Jordan is still on his way to our LC.
Jose
Winner, Counterspell Games Season 1
Winner, Final Round Season 2
2nd, Counterspell Games Season 2
“I’m playing Pieck Finger, Panzer Unit Cartman for day one, and will either run Pieck or Armored All Might for day two!”
Paul
Top 8, Final Round Season 2
Top 4, Counterspell Season 2
“I’ll be playing my Bertholdt Hoover, Living Weapon deck for both days with a few changes to it based on its performance at the previous LC! I’m working on optimizing it to be at a level I’m comfortable with and see if it is a deck I’d like to take to Dallas!”
Richard
Top 8, Final Round Season 1
Top 8, Counterspell Season 2
Richard, in his usual fashion, has pivoted 18 times in the last 24 hours (no, this is not an exaggeration).
Some of these pivots include:
Hedorah, Smog Monster
Ryu, World Warrior
Byakko
Burning Godzilla
Spike, Bounty Hunter
Thomas
Happy Father’s Day, Thomas, from all of us at CwC. Thank you for everything you do. We love you!
Aaaaand that’s all for our Season 3 LC preview! We’ll be back with another recap of the weekend’s events, so follow us on social media for all the latest.
Until next time, Keep Coping!
