Ben Kei OTK
Overview
Ben Kei OTK is a combo deck based on Armed Samurai - Ben Kei. The primary goal of the deck is to kill the opponent in a single turn by attacking them multiple times with a single copy of Ben Kei, which has been equipped with multiple ATK-boosting equip spells. Most of the deck is either part of the combo, cards which help search for combo pieces, or protection for the player.
The deck has had both historical and modern success, though it is an uncommon sight. Chad Justice played Ben Kei at the 2005 SJC Houston tournament, making top eight, and Matthew Cheek placed well with the deck in 2017's ND SummerSlam 4 event.

Deck List
This is a typical Ben Kei list which runs all of the staple cards for the strategy. Level Limit - Area B and Gravity Bind keep the pilot alive until the combo can be assembled. Reinforcement of the Army (RotA) and Mystic Tomato help to find Ben Kei as soon as possible, while also providing some toolbox potential with both D.D. Warrior Lady and Exiled Force.
Iron Blacksmith Kotetsu searches for equipment for the samurai to hold, but he can also seek out Premature Burial or Snatch Steal if needed. Mage Power is the most powerful of the equip spells, and will usually end the game once found and equipped. Big Bang Shot punches through defenders, especially goat tokens, and can also act as removal when used in combination with Giant Trunade.
