· We're interviewing Lee Min-sook, the final survivor and champion of the Eternal Return 3rd Anniversary Festival Nibel Arena Special Tournament.
· She mentioned she's been busy participating in events like the Level Up League even after winning.

· With the biggest prize pool in Nibel Arena tournament history, many participants challenged themselves passionately.
· The winner didn't expect to win, stating that good luck with triggers and a strong deck choice on the day, along with the support from friends, led to a great result.

· The deck used in this tournament is 'Red Deficit Adriana', a combination using Red Credit units and Purple Exit units.
· The strategy involves quickly finding desired cards with Credit units and disrupting opponents with Exit units.
· Purple was chosen because only Purple has trigger cards that can disrupt the opponent on their turn.
· We judged that mixing in Purple is effective to counter recent decks that aim to deal damage by leaving units on the field.
· Since low-cost units have low power, we mixed in Red for its Mix effect, which makes it easier to disrupt opponent units.

· The banlist announcement had almost no impact on this deck's selection.
· This deck doesn't use kill cards, so the Lennox restriction had no effect, and other card restrictions were also minimal.
· Instead, we believe the banlist affected other decks, making this deck a better pick.

· The synergy between the leader's effect and the 'Charlotte' card is very strong.
· Even with many cards in hand, if there are Credit units on the field, you can activate the leader's effect and Charlotte's summon effect to discard cards. This allows for a kill opportunity with Charlotte's double attack at a timing the opponent doesn't expect.
· The scene in the finals where she summoned two Charlottes, used the leader's effect, discarded cards from her hand, fulfilled Charlotte's double attack condition, and secured the win was particularly impressive.

· To disrupt the opponent early on, the power reduction cards require activating a Mix, but if you lack low-cost Purple units early in the game, disruption can be difficult.
· If the 'Tiara' card isn't drawn, the speed of accumulating graveyard resources early on can be slow.
· Compared to Yellow or the newly released leader 'Haze' decks, the utilization of graveyard resources might be somewhat lacking.

· Turn 12: Clear Credit units on the field, use the leader's effect with the two summoned Charlottes to discard cards for Charlotte's double attack combo.
· Turn 14: Disrupt the opponent's field with one Charlotte and the trigger Rabbit summon, then summon the remaining Charlotte on an empty lane.
· Turns 15-16: Use two Charlottes with Blair or Corellian combo to discard cards, finish with a double trigger attack + additional attacks.

· The winner stated that they are highly likely to use the 'Red Deficit Adriana' deck in the final match as well, but some minor adjustments might be made.
· While it was effective against IP units in recent Level Up League matches, adjustments are needed when facing decks like Eve, Rubensia, or Raphi.

· The winner plans to reveal the decklist used in the tournament.
· This deck was customized based on a deck posted by another user, and they emphasized the importance of continuous improvement through information exchange, a key strength of card games.

· There are no immediate plans to spend the prize money; it will be used to purchase the new Nibel Arena booster packs to be released later.
· They mentioned that buying a carton of the next booster pack with prize money is a dream for any TCG player.

· The winner expressed gratitude to their friends who supported them from the day before the tournament and to their opponents for playing courteously on the day.
· They remarked that Nibel Arena is a game where trigger luck plays a significant role, in addition to deck and strategy, and hoped for a final match that can be enjoyed regardless of the outcome.
