Less QQ More Pew Pew

The results are in for SJC Edison, and a total of 3 Quickdraw Dandywarrior decks made the top 16 and consequently the top 8.

Jeff Jones piloted the deck to a first place finish! Along the way he triumphed in the mirror match with what seemed like relative ease.

I have to say that I'm amazed. The deck is relatively young compared to those that have been topping regional qualifiers left and right since March, but it just goes to show that previous results don't mean anywhere near as much as many like to believe, since the deck just performed better than every other in attendance!

A price hike on key cards is inevitable now, as is a popularity spike. I can't blame people for that, though. I've said it before, and I'll keep saying that the deck is fun as hell. The fact it performs well doesn't change that.

Of course, the meta will see another shift in a couple of weeks with the release of The Shining Darkness. I have to wonder how the deck will hold up in the face of the OTK/FTK slant that's sure in coming.

Hopefully well enough to stay on the map. It'd be depressing if people gave up on the deck before the release of "Junk Destroyer" kicks it up another notch.
