Pre-Match analysis:::
Feature Match #1:
Dendrobatida VS Spyrevenge
Dendrobatida's past contest history (13-5)
Iron Chef One (2-1):
Beats Jasonthepwnda
Beats Pooka
Loses to Blizzard
As we can see from this tournament, Dendro can hand even his fellow top tier deckbuilders their own posteriors. He was a little bit away from earning the first iron chef title...oh well.
Iron Chef Two (3-0)
Beats Professor Sharkie
Beats HypnosProjectHQ
Beats Jasonthepwnda
With a lack of the Bliz factor this time, Dendro is the favorite going into this contest, and I don't see why not. He runs through his first two opponents, and then teaches his rival from the previous tourney a lesson in mechanics during the finals.
Iron Chef Three (3-1):
Beats Xine
Beats Penguinmaster
Beats Arthas Zero
Loses to Venusaur
Once again, JB makes mince-meat...up until the finals, where he takes on the winner between the two competitors that would soon join to become TO a couple months after this contest. Second place isn't bad
Iron Chef, ToC (1-2):
Loses to Patriarch
Beats Pooka
Loses to Blizzard
Here's where the mighty Dendro falls: during the ToC itself. During this time, Primetool was an underground deck, so I had the immediate advantage when HE announced this challenge. Pooka was no-show, and once again, Bliz edges out Dendro ever-so-slightly.
Iron Chef 4: Age of Yamato (4-1):
Beats Bex
Beats Lugia ex
Beats Peachyoto
Beats BigPoppaBeatdown
Loses to Pooka
This is basically a repeat of Iron Chefs 1 and 3. Dendrobatida virtually annihilates his opponents until the finals, where he loses on a close draw. Despite not winning, he still earned an invite to the tournament of champions, and performed amazingly with such a tough challenge during round 2 (arguably the hardest round in the history of Iron Chef). This tournament fully establishes Dendro's name in the contest, and why he was the overall #1 seed of the 64 competitors.
Spyrevenge's Past Contest History
None
Spyrevenge's strength in the contest is an unknown variable. However, because the known variable, Dendrobatida, is a strong number, odds are on Batida's side.
Predicted Winner: Dendrobatida
Note: This analysis is in no way influencing the judges decisions when we see the decks. We vote based on quality, not name recognition. However, I AM doing this just for light fun. There will be three more feature matches for Round 1 that I'll write on.
