Australian keeps putting his hand in the Damage Zone during Trigger Checking. That sort of play shouldn't be allowed in such a high profile event mainly because what kind of idiot (with a well functioning body) needs both his hands to Drive/Damage Check.
Also was that the judge who stopped the Rear Vermillion attack to the damage-boosted Mocha because it wouldn't hit? The Judge shouldn't of interfered there, it isn't against the rules to attack a higher attack unit and neither the judges job to stop the defending player from making a mistake in play outside of rules context.
I'm not surprised we heard of claims of him cheating at all. Not one bit.

Looked over it, the Judge stoped the attack because the Heal Trigger's +5000 wasn't assigned to any Units.
I was talking to one my fellow CFV players and he told me he actually got talk to the winner of the Toronto qualifier. The Toronto winner stated that he let his friend use his deck for Chicago and it won again. Supposively the guy from toronto lives on the border of Michigan and his friend lives in Michigan. I'm not too sure if it's true but once the recipes are posted, if true, then that has to be the best deck in the format.
Or those two players are just better than other players. There exists more than just the possibility that the deck is unilaterally better than all others.
I understand what you two are saying but once the public see the same exact deck wins again then the whole gold paladin favoritism will be through the roof. More like through the atmosphere! I do agree that the player quality isn't all that good. Out of my card shop there's maybe five of us regulars that are good. Most people at these regionals will think they are good because they have the popular deck
It already is that way. People come in from other games and treat Vanguard the same as those games. Gold Paladins are popular because of their similarity to games like Yugioh where getting a new card somehow is always great. They fail to see the GP are the same as every other deck, and in many circumstances cannot generate consistent plays. From there it just becomes induction and circular reasoning.
"This deck won, it must be the best! I'll copy it"
"This deck is the best because it won!"
And around and around we go. Even when other decks such as Narukami top, no one bats an eye. So add impact bias to the other causes. Essentially, GPs are a fad.
