Interview with North Americas Top Deva Player Idan

AHHHHH! I've been sitting on this since February and haven't had the time to edit it and get it up! But with BT15's meta so dominated by Leviamon and Numemon, it still feels like a good time to talk with the only person to run Devas to the top 64 of North American Nationals, because the deck has an amazing match up against both Levia and Nume.

Idan started playing Devas the week before Nationals, then proceeded to go technically undefeated for the entire run (Because he tied) Until making day 2. When it all shook out Idan took 46th place at the 2023 NA nationals and was the only Deva player to crack the top 64.

And Here we also have Idan’s Deck list at Nats, and a retooled version he reccomends more for the BT15 Levia and Numemon meta.
(Though he does recommend possibly cutting Fire Chickens because they’re bad in the already painful, for Devas, armor match up, which you can read more about here)

Idan also points out that Pajiramon is probably the first to be cut for space as Levia is so prolific and runs few tamers. He also pointed out that you can bounce around with a flex spot which is currently a third Heaven’s Judgement, but can easily be swapped for a fourth Analog or Ebonwumon
