I am not most players, soconvention never really was my thing. And my choices, I think, are reflective of my meta. In a highly aggro meta like in the Philippppines, Demongodol Ark runs out of hand and soul pretty quickly. It was highly predictable too.

Anyway, last night's locals, I took 3rd out of 8. Reliance on low-cost, high-powered Duel Dragons coupled with incidental life gain from monsters and nulls helped me trump Dungeon, Hero, Ancient. Granted, I wasn't paired up with Dragon. This weekend with 16+ players I could have a better sample. But in playtesting? The surprise factor was alarming for opponents who expected Ark but faced an offensive mix of Ark Giraffa and Brainbaltes.
