I recently sold most of my collection, though wanted to stay in the game and bought alot back. Anyhoo, onto the tournament. Theres 3 rounds of Swiss followed by the top 2 (which sucks but whatever). Round 1 vs aka Warrior My bro plays various makes of Warrior, though this week it was more Control than anything. I don't remember the specifics of each round, but the last was lost because he tributed a Marauding (Jinzo's his only tribute that he would play from his hand) and I tried to Ring it, but he claimed I had time to do that although I didn't. Record: 1-2 Round 2 vs Eric This is my ride. He plays a weirdo Pyro/Fire deck that works, although he never tests it because I'm usually at work and my bro's deck is "too good to playtest against", whatever that means. Again I don't remember the specifics, although one round he topdecked Terraforming and lost and another I killed Molten Destruction and he lost via Beatdown. Record: 3-3 Round 3 vs. Little Kid (forgot name) This kid runs a Pyro deck using Backfire, Solar Flare Dragon, and Dark Room of Nightmare. First game ended in like 3 turns as I got out Berserk and two 1900's via Painful and Premature 2nd turn. The second game took forever. Solar Flare locked me for like 4 turns, and with Backfire and Dark Room out, I thought I was gone although I got out Jinzo and BoM-ed a SFD to kill the other for the win (he was at 650 at the time). I won with 50 LP. Record: 5-3 Props: -The 4 people other than us that came in, making it an actually decent tourney. -The one guy who happened to have trades, since I got plenty off of him. -Eric for driving, as usual. -Dollar Tree for having a container of Tootsie Rolls for $1 Slops: -TBS for having a "judge" who knows less about rulings as any player there does. (As a side note, can a sanctioned tourney have a non- certified judge as acting judge? Email me if they can't, since this guy didnt even know about the ban list the first time we went up there) -My bro for beating me that crappy way I described. -The Injection I bought, for having a bent corner even though I payed $7 for it, aka what I value it at.
