BCS Newark, New Jersey

          Hello Buddyfighters!  June 4 was the Buddyfight Regional Championship for Newark, New Jersey in the United States!  With this most recent event top 8 consisted of quite an array of decks with the top looking like this:

1 - Hero World Zetta

1 - Ancient World Duel Jaeger

1 - Katana World Oni Assassin

2 - Katana World Ninjas

3 - Dragon World Thunder Empire

          It came as a major shock to most of the players that there were no prism dragon decks in the top 8 and that not only one but two ninja decks made it to the top 8 in this high level meta.  Oni Assassins which were very strong with their release have become less dominant in recent tournaments although the meta hasn't changed which is interesting but they still wormed their way into top 8 being undefeated over 7 rounds of swiss only to have Duel Jaeger also make it through 7 rounds of swiss undefeated.  By the time Top 4 started the remaining decks were 2 ninja decks, 1 thunder empire deck, and 1 Oni Assassin deck.  At the end of this event the top 3 decks that emerged were all Katana World with ninjas taking 2nd and 3rd place while Oni Assassins took 1st place.  Here are the first and second place lists. Sadly we couldn't get the third place list which was a different take on the RPS Shadow Dive Ninjas.
