By Setting Scrap Goblin against a field of Samurais, including Shi En, while he has Granel in his hand, Patterson can be confident that his Granel will make it onto the field. Granel can steal an opponent’s Synchro monsters, and its ability to gain control of Legendary Six Samurai – Shi En can be game-breaking.
Meklord Emperor Granel is also extremely effective against the most popular Deck of the previous YCS, Six Samurais. The combined ATK of Tengu, Scrap Dragon, and a 4000 ATK Granel early on provides more than enough power to wipe out any opponent in one turn. Not only will that allow him to Special Summon another Tengu (1700 ATK) from his Deck, but he’ll also be able to Special Summon Granel from his hand since his first Tengu was destroyed. Then, he can use Scrap Dragon’s effect to destroy the new Tengu along with one of his opponent’s cards. He can Tune Reborn Tengu with Scrap Beast in order to Synchro Summon Scrap Dragon (2800 ATK) and another Tengu. Granel even allows Patterson to OTK his opponents, with just Reborn Tengu, Scrap Beast, and Granel. His opponents can’t use a strategy that works against a typical Scrap Deck – they need to take into account this added threat, too. 4000 attack, he makes people rethink their game play,” Patterson told me. “He allows you to put pressure on real early. Since Granel hits the field with ATK equal to half of his Life Points, Summoning it early on forces his opponent to contend with a monster that has as many as 4000 Attack Points. It’s made even easier by the fact that opponents will constantly be trying to destroy his monsters with Spell and Trap Cards like Dark Hole and Torrential Tribute. It can only be Summoned when one of his monsters is destroyed, but with Scrap Dragon, Scrapstorm, and Scrap Goblin making the destruction of his monsters so easy, Summoning Granel is easy too. Meklord Emperor Granel is one of Patterson’s key cards. In addition to the standard plays he makes to Summon Scrap Dragon, like using Scrap Chimera to revive Scrap Beast and Tuning the 2 monsters together, he’s able to expand beyond the typical Scrap move set to surprise opponents with incredible attacks.
Patterson is able to make amazing moves with his Scrap Deck. He also just won his first playoff rounds, utterly dominating Gladiator Beasts, a historically poor matchup for Scraps! His Deck is also packed with tech choices like Fiendish Chain and Scapegoat, which have amazing synergy with his monsters and open up a variety of plays that former Scrap Decks were incapable of making. Luke Patterson has been playing Scraps ever since they were released, and finished the Swiss rounds of this weekend’s tournament with a 9-1 record by using an updated Scrap Deck that takes advantage of Meklord Emperor Granel, Scrap Orthros, and Reborn Tengu.
