This was an awesome tournament. As
stated above there was sixty-four duelists in attendance; IQ (from
POJO.COM) was even there. Almost everybody there was an experienced
duelist except for one or two kids (I faced one of those kids in the first
round). The trade of the day there was done by Michael: Michael
traded an Exodia set and six or so other super rares for a Mechanical
Chaser.
For those of you who have been reading my
tournament reports: Thanks. I have added more monster removal to my
deck by adding two Hane-Hane and two Man-Eater Bug and another Wall of
Illusion. I took out one Fissure and put in Tribute to The Doomed (which
proved to be very helpful). I also added another Dark Elf and another
Seven Colored Fish. Taking out one of my Robbin' Goblin out of my
main Deck for Gravekeeper's Servant proved to ineffective;
The Forceful Sentry did prove to be very fun to use. I,
also, actually have a Side Deck this time that actually complements my
Deck. Well, on with the tournament report.
Round 1
Fiends of Darkness vs. 60+ Cards
Deck
Duel 1
Roger the Skunk 8000
Justin
8000-7300-4600-2800-1800-0
There is not much to say here.
Duel 2
Roger the Skunk
8000-7500-7000-6500
Justin
8000-7000-4800-2600-900-100-0
This was much of the same. The only
reason I lost life points is that he used a Pharaoh's Servant card that took 500
life points away from each time I used a magic card or something like
that. I know, I should of told him he couldn't use it, but I didn't
care.
Round
2 Fiends of Darkness vs.
Simple Beatdown Deck
Duel 1
Roger the Skunk
8000-6600-6350
Brad 8000-4950-450-0
Brad was a much better duelist than my
previous opponent, but Brad telegraphed his moves way too much (I could almost
always tell when he had a good trap card on the field). This duel was much
more fun. I quickly brought out Maha Vailo with an Axe of Despair.
Needless to say that did him in.
Duel 2
Roger the Skunk 8000-6300
Brad
8000-9000-7300-6500-4000-2450-2200-0
This duel took a little bit
longer.
Round
3 Fiends of Darkness vs.
Good Beatdown Deck
Duel 1
Roger the Skunk
8000-6750-3375-1687.5-1187.5-887.5-87.5-0
Daniel
8000-6200-5200-3000-1250-250
This duel was close the entire time.
What hurt me the most in this duel was Jirai Gumo. I loss the coin toss
for Jirai Gumo twice: that is why there is a half of a point in my life
points.
Duel 2
Roger the Skunk 8000-6200
Daniel
8000-7800-5500-5000-0
This was a good but fast duel. Maha
Vailo with an Axe of Despair and Summoned Skull came out at the end for the
closer.
Duel 3
Roger the Skunk
8000-2700-2200-1200-200
Daniel
8000-4950-2450-450-0
The above score doesn't actually tell the
story of what happened. Daniel had me down to 1200 life points while he
was at 8000 life points. What happens next was awesome. I use Change
of Heart on his face down Magician of Faith. I use Magician of Faith to
bring back my Monster Reborn, and then I use to bring out Summoned Skull.
Daniel's monster and magic/trap zones are completely clear. I then summon
Maha Vailo with an Axe of Despair. I attack with Maha Vailo, Summoned
Skull, Dark Elf, and Jirai Gumo (I won the flip this time). That was great
one-turn kill. Daniel was a good opponent.
Round
4 Fiends of Darkness vs.
Simple Deck with Nimble Momonga
Duel 1
Roger the Skunk
8000-5500-4500-3600-1100-100-0
Reggie 8000-7300
Reggie was a very good duelist. I just
couldn't keep any monsters out.
Duel 2
Roger the Skunk
8000-7900-4100--600-0
Reggie
8000-7100-6250-5250
Same as the last duel.
This was a great
tournament. The guys from my store dominated most of the
tournament. Also, Reggie went on to win the tournament. I
managed to trade a Toon Summoned Skull for a Black Pendant and traded for a Wall
of Illusion. I also traded for my Sanga of Thunder for a third Axe of
Despair.
If you have any helpful deck suggestions,
comments, or questions send me an e-mail. I will try to find out how often
Lone Star Comics will be holding the lager 64-person tournaments.
Cheers & Jeers:
Cheers:

trades.

tournament.
