Subject: Factory Of Darkness, Jonathan Guider,Triangle Game Center, Cary NC Factory of Darkness Jonathan Guider Fantasy Workshop Asheville, NC 2/21/2002 Number of Participants: 10! @_@ This tourny was pretty good for a small place...and heres the scoop. I went down to my good ole home town of Asheville for my sisters wedding, which took place on Sunday. So, I looked around on Friday for something to do, when what do you know, I saw a sign on a store in downtown Asheville that was like a light from heaven... "Yu-Gi-OH! Tournement Tommorow" It was a good thing my little "protegé" came...muahahaha...a tourney.. [-FACTORY OF DARKNESS-] [Creatures: 23] Witty Phantom Invador of the Throne Giant Soldier of Stone x2 Wall of Illusion x2 Neo the Magic Swordsman x2 Mechanicalchaser x2 Man Eater Bug x2 Laginn Genie of the Mystic Lamp x2 7 Colored Fish x2 Labrinth Wall Launcher Spider Barrel Dragon Summoned Skull x2 King of Yamimaki x2 [Magic/Traps: 37] Woboku Chorus of Sanctuary Two Pronged Attack Swords of Revealing Light Share the Pain 7 Tools Reverse Trap Raigeki Pot of Greed Mystical Space Typhoon Monster Reborn Mirror Force Melevolent Nuzzler Just Desserts Horn Of Heaven Germ Infection Eternal Rest Dark Hole Change of Heart Card Destruction Trap Hole x2 Axe of Despair x2 Castle Walls x2 De-spell x2 Fairy's Hand Mirror x2 Horn of Light x2 Reinforcements x2 Dark Energy x2 Machine Conversion Factory x2 I woke up that morning, feeling light as a feather...but then the unthinkable happened...I couldnt find my foresaken deck...oh how much I hate you deck...oh how much I love you...Yeah, umm, well...I FOUND IT, and made it to the tourny on time. When I got there, I didnt recognize anyone in there...but I guess thats what you get when you havent lived in a place for two and a half years...I looked around, seeing people making last minute preperations...They were all using the classic un-oringal BeatDown decks..I saw one guy with a Aqua deck, and another with what appeared to be a Dragon deck... Oh yeah, before I start, I let some kid named Ryan Condor see my deck, and he tried to steal my Barrel Dragon! RYAN: I wasnt trying to steal it, Im just setting the ones I want to trade inside of my binder... God, what a loser.. [MATCH 1: Me-vs-RYAN CONDOR!] I asked the Manager if I could go up against a "friend", and he said sure. Well, this match went easier then expected...I got a very nice starting hand of Wall of Illusion, Giant Soldier of Stone, Dark Energy, Pot of Greed, and Eternal Rest. He went first and played a monster in DEF, no traps. I came back by drawing a Fairys Hand Mirror...muahahaha...and played my Wall of Illusion face up in DEF. He asked why I did that, I didnt answer him, just simply put the Dark Energy onto it. I played Fairys Hand Mirror face down,and ended my turn. He flipped over his monster....a Silverfang....and sac.'d it for a Doma the Angel of Silence... In other words..a basic YuGi started deck.. I went, by drawing a personal favorite, Launcher Spider, and played my Giant soldier of stone. He went to play Soul Exchange, but I stopped that with Fiarys Mirror, and exchanged his Doma and my Soldier to summon my Spider. MUAHAAHAHAHAH! On my turn, I sac. my Wall of Illusion to play my Summoned Skull, then I proceeded to bash his lifepoints down to 0, having drawn a Axe of Despair my next turn... [MATCH END: Me]<^^>^_^*DING* [MATCH 2: Me-vs-Adam Wing] He was an ok guy, and an ever better player. This is the guy with the Dragon deck, and it was definately better then I thought. I started out strong by playing my fav opening move, Giant Soldier of Stone, Chorus of Sanctuary, and Castle Walls. His move was a Blackland Fire Dragon,which he attached a Malevolent Nuzzler to. He stayed back, and I went, playing a Mechanicalchaser along with a Woboku. He immediately attakced Chaser,and I activated Woboku. I went, playing my newly drawn Eternal Rest, and cleared the Dragon away. I attacked with my Chaser, getting a quick jump in the lead. He countered by whipping out Dark Hole, and ended his turn. I got out a Witty Phantom, and played Mirrorforce, hoping I could get something to power him up with. He went on ahead and attacked me with another Blackland, causing my to defned with Mirrorforce. I got a Dark Energy, and played it on the Witty Phantom, and attacked his lifepoints. I thought it was in the bag, but thats the thing about Dragon decks, they always seem to pull from behind...he busted out two blue eyes three turns later, wiping out everything I had on the field..I had already used my Mirrorforce, so that was out of the picture...I had to stall for a few more turns, but I still couldnt get the cards I needed...I handed me my pride on a rusty platter of nails.. [MATCH END: Adam] ._. I thought all hope was lost, but it turns out...there was a LOSER BRACKET! But dont you know, the first person I face in it is Ryan.. @_@ [LOSER MATCH: Me-vs-Ryan Condor] I started off slow, having to put up a strong defense, but no matter how many Summoned Skulls he had out, he couldnt scratched my Labrinth Wall...I was starting to wonder if he had any magic cards...so, I said matter-o-factly....,"Ryan, this is how you win...",and I sacked my Soldier of Stone and Labrinth Wall to whipe out my beloved Barrel Dragon. I pretty much embarrased him by attaching a Machine Conversion Factory and Axe of Despair.... [MATCH END: Me]<^^>^_^*DING* [LOSER MATCH: Me-vs-Christopher Elkins] I really dont have the feintest idea what this kids deal is...but...hmm....he started with a Saggi...which I wiped away quickly with a Witty Phantom. And for some reason, he played a Jaginn in DEF! I got a Dark Energy onto the Phantom, and hurled out a Soldier. I wiped his Lajin out. He then proceeded to play a Battle Ox in DEF, which I then sac.d my creatures out for my Launcher Spider. I bombareded him until he was down to 200 LP...he the played an Electric Snake in attack and acted all tough...I played Axe of Despair on Spider, and attacked him...he said Machines cant attack Electricity...I simply told the judge I won and waited for my next match... [MATCH END: Me]<^^>^_^*DING* [LOSER MATCH: Me-vs-Dane Somethingorotherwhatsmaface This match was a complete breeze. I just wiped out some Lajin's and Battle Ox's with Barrel Dragon and Launcher Spider, throwing in my Summoned Skull with an Ax towards the end...(if you cant tell, IM getting tired of typing... >.>) [MATCH END: Me]<^^>^_^*DING* [FINAL LOSER MATCH: Me-vs-Adam Wing] Oh great...my nemesis...it turns out,Tyler beat this guy! That runt never ceases to amaze me... I declared my everlasting respect for Adam before the match in my head, and then I went on to play to my limit... I started out strong with a 7 Color Fish with a back of Reinforcements. He wiped out a Guardian of the Foretress, and upgraded with a Melevolent Nuzzler, and I countered this with my Reinforcements. I got the upperhand, and managed to struggle out my skull and a trap hole for safety. I fried some Blacklands and another Guardian of the Fortress, but the challenge came when he wipped out his Lord of D. I trap holes it, but he countered with a 7 Tools...he had a monster on the field before this which he protected with Woboku, which I didnt trap hole so I had a definate back against the Lord of D. He conjured a blue eyes after smacking down that accurse Flute, and wiped out my Summoned Skull. I went on the Defensive with a Labrinth Wall and Chorus of Sanctuary, but he slapped an Axe of Despair onto the Blue Eyes...and wiped me out pretty bad. I had around 100 LP when I drew my Pot Of Greed...I drew Change of Heart along with Mirrorforce...if that isnt the dirtiest luck you have seen, then I want to shake your hand. I played the combo, taking a hunk from his points. He attacked when he got his monster back, and I retaliated with Mirrorforce. I then proceeded to play my Witty Phantom with a Nuzzler, and barely scraped by the match.. [MATCH END: ME!]<^^>^_^;*DING* Now if that last match doesnt make you think that Lady Luck is a fikal old brood...then nothing will..for winning the consolation round, I got 1 LOB and a Metal Raider, along with 35 bucks..I received a Holo Summoned Skull and a Gate Guardian in the boosters, and kept the 35 bucks for another day. Well, looks like Im dashing off into the Night..oh yeah, I want to thank everyone who made that tourney possble, and Tyler, for giving me another chance against Adam... I WILL BEAT MY OWN PROTEGé SOME DAY! -cough cough- Even if he is just nine... .Jonathan Guider.
