Name: Wilson Luc
Residence: Los Angeles, California
Occupation: Student
Age: 16
Deck played for the event, and why: I played [Tsukuyomi] abuse this weekend, due to the new battle position ruling. It is also great in countering the current meta.
Matchups you’re happy to face: I’m hoping to face any cookie cutter deck.
Matchups you were hoping to avoid: I’m hoping to avoid my teammates of course, and decks that include trample. I also hate mirror matches or FTK’s even though they aren’t necessarily bad matchups.
What do you feel are the top three decks in the environment and why: I feel the top three decks in this current format are Goat Control, [Tsukuyomi] locks, and Anti-Goat Control.
How do you feel about the recent rulings changes:  I feel it has greatly improved my deck. The only disadvantange that came out of it was that everyone else is running [Tsukuyomi].

Deck played for the event and why: Standard Chaos with bits of goat control.
Matchups you’re happy to face: All of my matches were very intense. I was happy to play the more original designs.
Matchups you were hoping to avoid: Friends and Comic Odyssey. I was worried about hurting any of my friends’ records, and who would look forward to playing the Shonen champs?
What do you feel are the top three decks in the environment and why: Chaos Goat Control, Goat Control, and Rogue.
How do you feel about the recent rulings change: Great, Japan has been dumbing down decks for Worlds for long enough. Hopefully an American wins this year.
