My realizations after using "Kewl Tune" for the Nth time + Comeback Tournament Report

Hello everyone, ArcKnight here. It’s been a while since I last wrote, and I couldn’t think of a better comeback than a classic tournament report. This time, I’ll share not just the results but also the lessons I picked up along the way. I hope my experience gives you something useful to reflect on for your own games. For this run, I piloted Kewl Tune post-Blazing Dominion in an OCG locals setting. Let’s dive in.

From Brick Hands to Breakthroughs: My Comeback Story

Hello everyone! I'm back on this blog! After a year away, I finally stepped back into the tournament scene, ready to sling some cards and—hopefully—not brick my way into oblivion. But fate had other plans. This past weekend, I participated in two events: the Challenger Cup Qualifier (a major showdown with serious stakes) and an Asian English Local Ranking Tournament (where I could test my resolve without the crushing weight of expectations).

Spoiler alert: One went terribly wrong, and the other went surprisingly right.

Is it TIME for new "Harpie" support? - Future Support Discussion

Lately, I have been checking some of the reprints in QUARTER CENTURY CHRONICLE Side: Pride and I noticed that "Harpie" got some important reprints. Then, I realized that "Harpie" never had any follow-up in OCG or TCG from LINK VRAINS PACK 2 aside from "Cyber Slash Harpie Lady","Toon Harpie Lady", and "Harpie's Pet Dragon Fearsome Fire Blast."

I have seen reprints here and there and I wonder, is this them giving us a hint supporting one of the popular archtypes of the DM era? What kind of support will they get to be on par with the current meta? Let's discuss that in this featured article!

Without further ado, let's talk about this new theme "Tenpai", and why it deserves our attention.
