What did you play?
I played Rally Ariel.
Why did you play it?
I think it was the best aggro deck into aggro decks because of the stop gaps and free untaps it has. Against other control decks I also didn't feel I lost anything into that matchup either
Card your most likely to play this season?
I am most likely to play Astrotrain this season.
How many Missions did you see completed?
I saw I believe 2 missions complete both lost in research.
Are you looking forward to trying ATP Sealed format?
yes!.
Thoughts on the Current Titan One Banned list?
I think it needs some work to be honest. I am often a big proponent that things that were banned should stay banned, the things gained from bringing banned cards back usually feels lost in the end.

What did you play?
Flamewar, Slipstream, Astrotrain, Decepticon Darkmoon, Stratagems: Rough and Tumble, Behind Enemy Lines, Lost in Research.
Why did you play it?
Played this deck because wanted to try LIR, and Astrotrain being a specialist along with Flamewar felt like a good combo.
Card your most likely to play this season?
Will probably try Acoustic Overload stratagem for Blaster, but Sharpshooter is tempting.
How many Missions did you see completed?
I only saw LiR missions completed, no Sharpshooter. I probably completed my mission almost every game, it was just a question if it was within the first few turns or late game.
Are you looking forward to trying ATP Sealed format?
I would try ATP sealed format but I am usually not available for the one day events.
Thoughts on the Current Titan One Banned list?
I like having belligerence and end hostilities banned…it opens up more tough and bold cards to play, and when you play them you know you atleast have a chance to do something effective since they can’t be turned off completely.

What did you play?
LMC Starscream, Seaspray, Ironfist, Scourge
Why did you play it?
One, I didn't really have alot of time to playtest ATP-6 prior to the event (literally played this deck once, made a lineup change and a few card changes and submitted) so it made sense to go with ole'faithful Starscream 4 wide with some tweaks and second, knowing Nitro Boosters were most likely going to be banned in future T1 events, I wanted to give them one more go.
Card your most likely to play this season?
Character: Broadside. I think he will do well in Classic and is another potential sideboard option. Battlecard: Close Quarters Combat. Just waiting for Junkion this season to see if I can figure out the right team to use this card. Mission Stratagem: none. To be honest, not really a fan of the current Mission Strats. They are either too easy to get going, and/or too powerful for their cost given the current card pool.
How many Missions did you see completed?
For myself, none. In the tournament, Lost In Research I saw a ton (but that's not very hard to pull off) and Sharpshooter once.
Are you looking forward to trying ATP Sealed format?
I have a love/hate relationship with Sealed events in the past, so I'm trying to keep an open mind with this format.
Thoughts on the Current Titan One Banned list?
Rally should have never come off the banlist. It's not surprising that both Rally decks that registered made top 8, and probably only didn't become a mirror match in the finals due to an unfortunate last minute drop by one of them. In a format that is supposed to be a solo Titanmaster/Legend playstyle, the ability to essentially have a double Legend was totally unfair and not healthy for the tournament/meta. And while I didn't get the pleasure of playing against it this time, I think High Speed Chase is probably in the same boat as it has similar issues from a power level perspective.

What did you play?
"Default" Astrotrain - ATP Astrotrain w/ Darkmoon, ATP Slipstream, Shrute, Behind Enemy Lines, Villainous Spotlight
Why did you play it?
Astrotrain has always been one of my favorite Transformers so I was psyched with his ATP version, even tho it's a very weird deck to play. Focus let me play more of a mixed pip deck than I'm usually comfortable playing with.
Card your most likely to play this season?
Well, 100% chance I play Astrotrain 🙂 Looking forward, I'd really like to run Warpath but I'm not sure of the right deck for him.
How many Missions did you see completed?
None
Are you looking forward to trying ATP Sealed format?
Nope. I will be skipping that, I hate Limited
Thoughts on the Current Titan One Banned list?
Having played through this event, I think the current banlist is pretty good. The one card I'd probably add is Overwhelming Advantage. I'm not sure if it was specifically the Menasor build Wyatt ran or it's the card in general (I'd like to keep Menasor in the format), but the counters to the counters for OA are too strong and easily played (Espionage/Counter Espionage) and OA being able to basically one-shot almost anyone is probably too good. Literally 1/4 of my deck was anti-OA cards and he still easily hit it after stripping two counters from my hand and another off the table.

What did you play?
Well after the work that Rally did I'm pretty sure he will be joining it. Rally is soooooo good
Why did you play it?
With High-Speed Chase off the ban list, I wanted to take it for a spin, and none of the classically strong versions of the deck performed to my desired level during testing
Card your most likely to play this season?
I’m most likely to play Will of the Protocols.
How many Missions did you see completed?
A lot, both in my games and ones I watched.
Are you looking forward to trying ATP Sealed format?
Very much so! Sealed is something I’ve always enjoyed, even when my pools are hilariously bad..
Thoughts on the Current Titan One Banned list?
Rally needs to go back on it, but otherwise I like it!
Anthony Ziggy Cruz
What did you play?
Rally Bee
Why did you play it?
I thought it was one of the best aggro decks, if not the best deck in the format.
Card your most likely to play this season?
I want to try out the new Hot Rod and like the new Cyclonus. For Battle cards I already played Fevered Edge and Fighting Dirty they felt good. I will most likely play them again.
How many Missions did you see completed?
4 LiR
Are you looking forward to trying ATP Sealed format?
Meh, I'm awful at Sealed but I enjoy TFTCG.
Thoughts on the Current Titan One Banned list?
Well after the work that Rally did I'm pretty sure he will be joining it. Rally is soooooo good.

What did you play?
Rodimus/Doubledealer/Ratchet
Why did you play it?
Hot Rod is my favorite character, and I hadn't played an event with Rodimus yet..
Card your most likely to play this season?
Battle card: Fevered Edge - Character: Astrotrain
How many Missions did you see completed?
Lost In Research was the only mission I saw this tournament, and it was completed every time. Usually by my opponent's turn 2.
Are you looking forward to trying ATP Sealed format?
didn't realize that it was ready...hell yeah!
Thoughts on the Current Titan One Banned list?
I'm mostly content with the current banned list. If there was anything I was going to consider it would be Rung. Springer might be worth a look for unban since Conversion Engine is banned.
ogar
What did you play?
I played "Rodimus Crime" which was a heavy orange deck with Rodimus and Nemesis Prime.
Why did you play it?
I really struggled picking a deck and ended up just slapping it together in Teletraan with Jempty and Smurf at the last minute.
Card your most likely to play this season?
Ironfist, or, as I like to call him, Bouncy Cloud Tank. He's a great 6 star with a ton of utility, plus he's a Wrecker.
How many Missions did you see completed?
I only played against one deck that had a Mission, but it was completed all 3 games and was extremely powerful
Are you looking forward to trying ATP Sealed format?
I'm a bit apprehensive about sealed since I tend to be pretty particular about the kinds of decks I play and sealed doesn't offer the opportunity to be as discerning as I usually want to be.
Thoughts on the Current Titan One Banned list?
I think the ban list is in a decent place for the most part. Some of the "staples" that have been banned really force more creative deck building, which I think is a good thing.
Whens the next event?
May Alpha Trion Open - May 11th
Come give the Classic Format a try as the second monthly event of Season 6 begins!
