Perceptor / Kreb / Highbrow / Xort / Wreckgar / -  LMC Starscream Sideboard

I always end up doing a lot of testing for full con, even though it’s my least favorite format. In my testing I found that the combination of Perceptor and Highbrow opened the most amount of flexibility in terms of best matchups into the expected metagame. I was torn between Ghost Scream and Wreck-Gar, but I am super happy with wreck-gar. He has been amazing every round he was in, except for when I played against Dinobots. Having access to 2 ramping characters and opportunism creates a lot of pressure.  

I thought the event was incredibly interesting. In almost every other full con event you expect to see the same few characters in very similar shells, but this was the first time that a full con event went completely in the opposite direction. I really enjoyed having this meta game revolve around certain cores of characters, such as the sturdy decks, or Perceptor highbrow decks. I know one thing people don't like about full con is that versus T1 there are much fewer viable decks. One could argue that Full Con actually is closer representative to a metagame in other TCG's, where there is a clear number of 4-5 really strong meta decks and people have a clear idea of what the meta would be to try and meta call and build a sideboard around. Harder to that in T1, but that's also the strength of T1! 

If I were to change something from my deck, it definitely would have been a second copy of belligerence in the mainboard, as well as try to fit a 3rd copy of fusion borer in the list. Fusion borer always enabled a way for my deck to do damage, as I often had to flip Perceptor to alt mode on the first turn he had to attack. I also wish I had at least 1 copy of Camien Crash in the mainboard. I often felt like I needed it in games and new the only thing I got was a sturdy javelin somewhere in my 43 card deck. Another consideration I had would have been putting in a Ready for Action, which potentially adds an extra turn to flip Perceptor, as well as potentially getting another gruesome legion swing in the process. My sideboard was very meh, I only sided into 5 of the 10 cards in the board, granted the stuff I didn't use was for Fangry Bull decks that I never ran into.

ATP Aerialbots with Coordinated Aerial Tactics and Heroic Spotlight.

Aerialbots have a nice place in my heart. They have always been one of my favorite decks to play. While Working on ATP2, i played them endlessly and hadn't really wanted to play them in an event because of it. However the time felt right to sleeve them up again to take them into battle!

Titan One is by far my favorite format, The Meta-game is so far and wide that its hard to predict what others will play. So more often then not i like to just play what think till be the most fun for a given event! 

Spy Satellite Uplink... cant believe i forgot to register one haha. Id also find away to get a second Heavy-Handed into the list, Card was much better then i thought it would be.

Highbrow - Grax - Double Dealer - Scourge 

  A true mixed deck trying to play a pure midrange gameplan with lots of flexibility. The deck preyed on Legend mode strategies from my opponents and could transform after sideboarding to be more aggressive in bad matchups 

 I loved the meta and the format. I played the deck I did largely as a proof of concept that Conversion Engine couldn't be allowed to stay in the format. I also think Mag Ray in a world where Knack exists is too egregious. Knack is already good enough; Mag Ray has been borderline banworthy for a long time coming. Really happy those have been added to the banlist since. 

If I had to pick just one, it would be to cut Opportune Repairs--that card was awful. If I had more cuts available, I'd get rid of the second Reflector Cell and the second Despite Any Difficulty. 6. Also since the 2 Conversion Engine and 1 Mag Ray in my maindeck were banned, I'd replace them with a second Fusion Borer and a third Force Field. I was over 40 cards, so no need for a third replacement piece. For next event? Here's where I'm at with the deck: https://teletraan1.net/decks/69d24d79/post-ban-update-a-pocket-full-of-sunshine-v3
