18 people
4 rounds of Swiss then top 8! First top 8 we've had
thus far!
Alright, the store is finally sanctioned (though
there are still no judges, just TOs) and somehow 18
people show up instead of the usual 12-ish. This
means there is a top 8 as well as insane prizes,
since we get a booster/$4 in store credit if the
manager is there, and otherwise we keep the credit
and use it for whatever then the manager's there.
The employees don't like giving out prizes unrelated
ot the tourney.
Monsters (18):
x1 Airknight Parshath
x2 Berserk Gorilla
x1 Breaker the Magical Warrior
x1 Cyber Dragon (since I'e only been able to find
one)
x1 D. D. Assailant
x1 D. D. Warrior Lady
x1 Enraged Battle Ox
x1 Exiled Force
x1 Goblin Elite Attack Force
x1 Kaiser Glider (busted tech)
x1 Morphing Jar
x1 Roulette Barrel (busted tech #2)
x1 Sangan
x2 Slate Warrior
x1 Tsukuyomi
x1 Twin-Headed Behemoth
Traps (9):
x1 Bottomless Trap Hole
x1 Call of the Haunted
x3 Dust Tornado
x3 Sakuretsu Armor
x1 Torrential Tribute
Spells (13):
x1 Book of Moon
x1 Card Destruction (tech for now until I get a
Brain Control)
x1 Confiscation
x1 Dark Hole
x1 Heavy Storm
x1 Mystical Space Typhoon
x1 Nobleman of Crossout
x1 Premature Burial
x1 Scapegoat
x2 Smashing ground
x1 Snatch Steal
x1 Swords of Revealing Light
Kaiser Glider is simply insane against the Jinzos
and monarchs out there, and seeing as how my
toughest competition is against my brothers Soul
Control deck and against my friends who still run
Jinzo, it seems quite obvious. Roulette Barrel is
simply insane, dunno why it isn't a staple. Card
Destruction is just random tech since alot of people
run warrior builds that hold answers to everything,
though its there only til I get a Brain Control.
Round 1 vs. Devin
This kid stole my deck after the tourney, though I
got it back the next week. Nothing to report here,
he wasn't a challenge in the least. This tourney is
always 70% or more n00bs.
Round 2 vs. Cody w/ Soul Control
Lost 0-2 here, first game I got lucksacked, second I
made a mistake of not using MY Body as a Shield
which I sided in when he Dark Holed 2 of my
monsters.
Round 3 vs. Steve aka "Pedro" w/ Random Burn
One of those burn guys that always sends Wave Motion
Cannon too early and can't draw a god hand to win
with. 2-0 here.
Round 4 vs. Eric w/ Horus control
Went 2-1 here. Lost the first game because he got
LV8 out and I didn't draw a trap and already used
Exiled, seocnd game he kept attacking into Sak
armors so I won, third he got out LV6 and kept it
out cuz I only drew one sak armor, somehow won.
I went 2-2 losing to the only 4-0 (my brother as
always) and a 3-1 (Eric) who only lost to Cody. I
got in since there were only four 3-1's and this
three spots for 2-2's.
Quarterfinals vs. Travis w/ Toolbox Beats
Crazy guy that doesn't run Dark Hole cuz he tries
flooding the field. Went 2-0 here, last game I won
because I got him down to one in hand and used a
sided Penguin Soldier like 3 times ot keep his
facedown off the field. Slate Warriors beat him to
death.
Semis vs. Fluffy w/ Toolbox Beastdown
Other main guy here, and just fyi I run with this
guy, Cody, Eric, and Pedro. Beat him 2-0 because I
drew answers to anything he had, though honestly I
lose 1-2 a majority of the time since he has
Widespreads aka 5 Sakuretsu Armor.
Finals vs. Cody
We split everything down the middle, though for the
ratings part I was considered the winner. We each
got 9 stamps for our card (20 = $10 store credit)
and 9 packs in credit. I got a Nightmare Before
Christmas starter and 5 boosters of it, my bro
wanted to get an MC2 but they were out so he ended
up spending it on somethin else.
Props
-Me for getting to the finals and rolling for the
win as far as ratings go.
-Completing my deck for the most part, getting
everything dirt cheap as I always do
-Me for trading a ton of janky MTG stuff for awesome
YGO stuff worth around 4x as much.
-Winning 4 packs in the Nightmare Before Christmas
tourney.
-The US government for paying me to go to college,
thus I don't have to get a job as long as I don't
move out of the house.
Slops
-Losing my deck for a week, and for that kid trying
to play it cool before he just gave everything back
and gave me some extra cards for the trouble
-Still missing a holo Dark Hole, Confiscation, and
Torrential before my deck is all holos instead of
common versions
