OCG 2016.10 Metagame Report #7

Welcome to Week #7 of the OCG 2016.10 format.

Eidolon Beast debuted this week and made a very small impression in the competitive scene swamped with Zoodiac.

This report will tabulate 80 top-performing decks from 12 Japanese tournaments that were held during 12 – 13 November 2016.

• Booster SP: Fusion Enforcers

• 45 Zoodiac (14 Kaiju, 5 Artifact variant)
• 9 Infernoid (3 Lawnmowing, 3 Lawnmowing Zoodiac, 2 Zoodiac, 1 Lawnmowing PSY-Frame variant)
• 7 ABC (5 Zoodiac variant)
• 6 Zoodiac Eidolon Beast (2 Kaiju variant)
• 13 Others:
  • 2 Blue-Eyes
  • 2 Kozmo (1 Metalfoes, 1 Zoodiac variant)
  • 2 Metalfoes (1 Zoodiac variant)
  • 1 Barrier Statue
  • 1 Cyber Angel Herald
  • 1 Darklord
  • 1 Lawnmowing Zoodiac Shiranui
  • 1 Snow Lightsworn
  • 1 Zoodiac HERO Shaddoll
  • 1 Zoodiac Phantom Knights

 
The Kaiju variant has really picked up this week – 14 players were playing Kaiju in the Main Deck, while another 4 players had Kaiju in their Side Deck.

Other than Kaiju, Book of Eclipse, Forbidden Chalice, Torrential Tribute and Forbidden Apocrypha are some of the common Side Deck choices against Zoodiac.

Eidolon Beast has a small showing this week, prompting some players to run Imperial Iron Wall in their Side Deck.

Imperial Iron Wall hinders Eidolon Summoning Magic by causing the Eidolon Beast player to be unable to banish monsters from their field and/or either player’s Graveyard. While Imperial Iron Wall is face-up on the field, the effect of Merkabah the Eidolon Beast cannot be activated.

Imperial Iron Wall also doubles up against Infernoid.
