How was the regional? The Nationals was ran very well and organized. Very fun for being my third overall WGP Nationals and first in person WGP Nationals. Luke and crew made the event very enjoyable as well.
How do you win with your deck? Combo at level 1 to sculpt my mid and late game plans, then play level 2 combo to build more resources. Also, followed by building compression and healing down when needed. Finally, finish the games with comboless top end.
Any shoutouts? Shoutouts to Thomas T, Jonathan C, and Ankit P for traveling with me to Rochester, hanging out and supporting through the tournament. Shoutouts to Ben P for some of the foils in the deck. Shoutouts to Randall M for putting me on my favorite card in the deck.

How was the regional? My nationals experience was pretty crazy. I started swiss at 0-1 and ended at 5-1 to enter top 16. I felt pretty sick in round 1 and had a lot of nerves but after that I calmed down and played my best and it paid off. Unfortunately, I faced my good friend Dylan in round 4 and only one of us could move on and after the round he told me to take it all the way and that is what I did. I gave it my all and I feel good about my performace.
How do you win with your deck? I attempt to heal down at level two and hold rest counter in order to avoid losing. If I get to level three first I try to accumulate resources and deny the opponent from hitting level three.
Any shoutouts? Once again shoutout to the Sacramento WS community, they are so accepting and the best fr fr. Shoutout to the homies in Davis also, they are the real ones. If you go to UC Davis, you should join the WS club. We have a lot of fun.

How was the regional? It was fun, saw some people play I hadn't seen in a while.
How do you win with your deck? Farm advantage early using Uruka, while using Seina to set up for your level 2. At level 1 you have access to Osiris for getting excess Climaxes out of your hand, and dismantling decks focused on level 2s while Oichi and Artemis help generating resources or sculpting your hand. At two you want to focus on early dropping one or two Alexanders depending on your available resources. Against matchups where early dropping Alexander is too risky you can use Lucifer, Kamimusubi and Seina to just continue to push damage while waiting for 3. Alexander himself is a tremendously powerful card that can be used to generate more resources or just push damage with a very cheap restand, and Rushana pairs extremely well with Rushana for tearing apart your opponents back row or simply avoiding the problem of playing restanders onto empty boards. Alynna is available as well to punish opponents for sitting on a bunch of stock.
Any shoutouts? Thanks to Pauls for running the event, and my regular playgroup for helping me practice. Glad to see in-person regionals happening again.

How was the regional? During this regional, every round was extremely close. I wasn't sure how well I was gonna do today and I ended up pulling it out for the win. I definitely had luck on my side and did my best in every round. I definitely want to try the Level 0 Sora with this deck because it could be a good option, but I didn't bring it today. Kanata Marine has been my favorite deck for a while and I am glad I could pull out the win.
How do you win with your deck? I won with Kanata Marine by aggressively clocking myself and attempting to get to level 2 first when possible. Additionally, I tried to take advantage of when my opponent had not many CXs in deck by slamming CX effectively.

How was the regional? The regional was great! Got to spend a day of Weiss with a bunch of my friends, and had a pretty good run! Great to be back into a completely-in-person WGP season again. Also, Card Arena is way bigger than it was pre-pandemic so the extra store space made things much more comfortable than before.
How do you win with your deck? The Lv0 Yukina PR ("To The Next Stage" Yukina Minato) is the key to the deck's success. Being able to sacrifice itself instead of 2 Stock allows me to play very liberally with my Stock throughout the early-midgame, especially if I can loop it back into my hand with cards like the 1/0 Event. Opponents are often caught off-guard when I can field an entire finisher turn with just 2-3 Stock, and on rare occasions, even 0 Stock. Also, Tae 1/0 is the Amogus Imposter of the deck (which is otherwise entirely Roselia), I ran her to counter Spy x Family's Fiona and Chainsaw Man's Kishibe primarily, and I got to use her to great effect today!
Any shoutouts? Shoutouts to the HSI Weiss Schwarz gang, without them, my Weiss Schwarz experience wouldn't be nearly as fun as it is. Also, shoutouts to Kenny K. for letting me borrow some of the shiny Protein Bar PRs since mine aren't all in yet.

How was the regional? It was good, games where long, but that normal for Kemono Friends. It good to see people from other local groups stop by and see so many types of JP decks be played, so many different play styles.
How do you win with your deck? Kemono Friends is a hyper compression, top heavy and healing deck. I run two coin flip cards that allow me to always have cards in the fight in the early game. My anti-burn that is in memory keeps me from getting pinged by 1 burns, and my Alpacas allow my to keep having clean stock. It I get to leave 3, I have rest counters to keep me in the fight. My goal is to out live.
Any shoutouts? Shoutout Battlegrounds for giving us a place to play every weekend.

How was the regional? I played very bad and never got punished. 10/10 would recommend.
How do you win with your deck? You gain stock and you gain hand and then you count to 7 in a funny count dracula voice and your opponent gets very sad.
Any shoutouts? Thanks to Ben P for remaining calm even though he had to watch me butcher every play with the deck he gave me.
