I ran a Blackwing deck at locals today w/o any Pod or Solemn Warning and it did pretty well. Here is how I did:
Blackwings 1-2
Blackwings 1-2
GBs 2-1
So yeah, I ended up overall losing to both other BW decks but they ran Pod and Warnings of course. Since I don't have either of them, I did:
PoD -> Cards for Black Feathers
Solemn Warning -> Dark Bribe & Blackwing Backlash
Cards for black Feathers actually came in very handy because I just fucking hated when I had just Kalut in my hand. So i usually end up dumping Kalut, use Cards for Black Feathers and end up with Shura or something. Cards for BF + Allure + same turn = EPIC
Dark Bribe was probably a terrible tech choice, since it just gave so much to my oppenent. I ended up using it once, and the guy drew a Dark Hole, Dark Armed Dragon, and then game. I was stupid for doing that, since I didn't even notice his graveyard.
Blackwing Backlash was very good, considering how fast I got my monsters to the grave, because I was overpowering with draw power. >:D Again, Cards for BF + Allure + same turn = EPIC
But I guess PoD and Solemn Warning do help in decks, and make it faster. But as a budget player, I'll fix that. The deck didn't too bad, and I'll post the decklist soon on Youtube.
