Talk to duelists between rounds here today and eventually you’re going to hear about a duelist “with an insane Cyber-Stein deck.” Ok, so you can probably hear that from duelists at just about any other Shonen Jump Championship, but it’s true here. Nick Georgizas has managed to go 4-0 thus far with a very innovative Cyber-Stein OTK. It’s designed to win on turn 1, or not at all. It usually wins with Master of Oz.

The deck uses Morphing Jar, Last Will, Monster Gate, Card Destruction, and Reasoning to tear through cards until it can put together a one-turn KO combo. While Exiled Force feeds Last Will, Gilasaurus and Cyber Dragon feed Monster Gate, bringing a totally new element to the Cyber-Stein archetype. This build digs harder and faster than the average OTK Stein deck, and while it won’t win all of its games on turn 1, it wins a lot of them that way.

Like your run-of-the-mill OTK Stein, this deck can use Limiter Removal and Megamorph with Cyber End Dragon or Cyber Twin Dragon to score a win. One of the things that sets this deck apart from its contemporaries is its third winning fusion: Master of Oz. It’s a 4200 ATK Beast, which means that it can combine with Wild Nature’s Release for a massive ATK boost. In fact, Master of Oz has a whopping 3700 DEF. When that’s added to its ATK with Wild Nature’s Release, Master of Oz becomes an enormous, 7900 ATK Furzilla that stomps opponents flat.

Add another Wild Nature’s Release, and stuff just gets uglier.

The deck is fast, deadly, and pulls out surprising wins due to its range of unorthodox cards. If you’re familiar with Cyber-Stein it’s easy to see that this deck is essentially the strategy you’re familiar with, minus the training wheels. If you can’t pull off the win on turn 1, life becomes more difficult, because this deck can’t maintain field presence very well. Thus far, that hasn’t seemed to have been an issue. I asked Georgizas how his matches had gone so far, and he held out an empty sheet of paper.

“This is my life point score sheet today.”

There was nothing on it. I asked what he meant.

“I haven’t needed to use it yet.”

Wow.

If he can keep up his performance for five more rounds, his deck will become legendary, and he’ll be catapulted to instant-star status just like Igor Kharin was earlier this year. In an environment where speed wins, Nick Georgizas has the fastest thing going, and that could take him all the way here this weekend. Watch him throughout the day, and track his performance as the wins continue to stack up.
