 Dead Sea at Comic Chest, VA- Christian

Subject: Dead Sea at Comic Chest, VA- Christian

 

    Hello, pojo readers, I'm back with yet another tourney report!  This one happened on June 13, but sadly, there were only 6 players.  That is one crappy turnout.  The deck I was playing is the same good ol' Dead Sea.  Here it is:

 

    The Dead Sea

       44 Cards

 

2 Crystal Lancer

2 Crystal Paladn

4 Aqua Hulcus

4 Aqua Guard

4 Corile

4 Emeral

 

4 Spiral Gate

 

4 Bloody Squito

4 Horrid Worm

4 Locomotiver

 

4 Terror Pit

4 Hopeless Vortex

 

    Okay, today was swiss, but the top 4 was decided in points.  If you won a match 2-0, you get 10 pts.  Winning 2-1 gets you 7 pts.  Losing 1-2 is 3 pts., and losing 0-2 is 0 pts.  Headaches aside, lets get to where the real action is!

 

                                                              Round 1

                                            D.S. VS. Andrew (Mono Light)  

    Game 1-  Okay, Andrew is a pretty good duelist, and stack that with a formidible light deck and you get nothing to sneeze at.  We both got early starts and he slapped down a bunch of blockers but I got Lancer out.  Then he busted out Alek and started screwing with my creatures and destroyed Lancer, but I had already got him down to no shields.  Then we both kept stalling, with turns on end where nothing happened, but I knew I had to draw it eventually...Yes! Paladin!  10 Blockers!  Let me just tell you, I have never seen a hand that big.    WIN

    Game 2- Now, I knew how to handle his deck and just waited until I had 2 Lancers out and started owning him.    WIN

 

     Whew, that was tough  ; P !

    Stats after round 1: 10 pts.

 

                                                              Round 2

                                               D.S. VS. Wes (Fire/Darkness)

    Game 1- Wes beat me last tournament, so I wanted to win this primarily for revenge.  The first game went pretty smoothly, but I believe he became a minor thorn in the side with speed attackers and rush cards.  However, I pulled off the win anyway.    WIN

    Game 2- I don't have good notes, but I believe this went something like the last duel.  I remember I won without too much touble.    WIN

 

    Stats after round 2: 20 pts.

 

                                                              Round 3

                                              D.S. VS. Carl (Mono Nature)

    Game 1- Well, if the last match was easy, this one was sure to put my dueling skills to the test.  Carl started out by gaining mana fast and playing beast folk, and I'm pretty sure a Fighter Dual Fang was a big problem for a while, too.  However, I was able to scrape a win.  When I did so, Carl had 15 mana. (Either that or it was the second game, I can't remember.)    WIN

    Game 2-  Multiple Barkwhips saw play on Carl's side of the field, and maybe even a Fighter Dual Fang.  Even so, removal took care of the bigger threats and I was still able to pull of yet another beating of Carl.    WIN

 

    Stats after round 3: 30 pts.

 

                                                             Round 4

                                              D.S. VS. Eric (Water/Nature)

    Game 1- Eric is definitely one of the better players at Comic Chest, and today he was playing what I believe to be his best deck.  I don't have good notes for this round as I was absorbed in the game, but I'll do my best.  The first game was tough but I managed to get a win.    WIN

    Game 2- Okay, this was defenitely the hardest game so far today.  Darn that Cryptic Totem!  It broke a Terror Pit!  Well, congrats on handing me my first defeat, Eric.    LOSE

    Game 3- This was also a very tough game but removal killed some of the bigger threats and I was able to get a win.  Great game, Eric!    WIN

 

    And now, the top 4 are announced!  Eric was in with 16 points...

                                                                 Mom was in with 24 points...

                                                                 Carl  was in with 24 points...

                                  and I was in with a whopping total of 37 points!

 

                                                           THE TOP FOUR

 

                                                              SEMIFINALS

                                       D.S. VS. Sandra a.k.a. Mom (Mono Fire)

    Game 1- Figures I'd have to play her somewhere in the tournament.  You think I had the easy way out?  No.  She is one tough opponent.  I was confident going into the first game, but she quickly rushed me to 2 shields while she still had 5.  Then the Valdios.    LOSE

    Game 2- Okay, I really need to do better this time around!  I got rid of a Valdios she played but then came the speed attackers.  I tried putting on my best bounce but it did nothing and I lost to my mom yet again.  Holy crap.    LOSE

 

                                                      BATTLE FOR 3rd PLACE

                                                    D.S. VS. Eric (Water/Nature)

     Game 1- Well, it appeared Carl had beaten Eric to go on to the finals against my mom.  But here I was, battling it out for third place with Eric.  I wanted third place.  First game was very poor for me and he won with unblockable cards like Candy Drop.    LOSE

    Game 2- I guess I was just taken back by losing to my mom, because even by best removal couldn't stop him.  I was just "off".    LOSE

 

    Well, that was surprising, but not as surprising as the final standings.

 

                                      1 Sandra a.k.a. Mom

                                      2 Carl

                                      3 Eric

                                      4 Christian

 

    Cool! My mom won her first tournament, so the day wasn't  a total loss!  Now, props and slops!

 

    PROPS

- Mom for winning

- We're going to have a big tournament on the 27th with a trophy for the winner

- Beating everyone in the tournament at least once except mom- figures

 

    SLOPS

- Small turnout

- Coming in 4th

- Andrew being a sore loser- didn't win a match all day

   

    Well, until next time!

                     -Christian
