he didnt give any extra deck details, but in the thread he said it was a standard extra deck
hope it helps 🙂 cheers
the missing card of the main deck is BLS, he says it some pages later in the forum
Thank you, much appreciated. I assumed that sparizione refers to “Sparizione a Catena” (Chain Disappearance), considering that there is little reason to play “Disappear” when “D.D. Crow” is available.
now that you make me think about it, it might actually be, unfortunately in the finals he didnt play it so i cant be sure, but since it was a very popular side deck choice you might be right. 🙂
