Notes: The strategy of this deck is to keep my opponent's field clear using cards like Fiber Jar, Raigeki, Dark Hole, Man-eater Bug, Fissure... and then attack directly with my powered up (Axe of Despair, Malevolent Nuzzler) Light monsters. Pretty much a beatdown, which was actually new for me, because I've never used a beatdown before... seriously, I haven't. I pretty much use decks no one else uses, like one of my first decks was a Zombie/Gravity Bind deck. But, I'm starting to stray off subject, on to the report. I yet again was the only female in the tournament, which kind of annoys me. Anyhoo, I grabbed my table number, which was 23, and sat and waited for my opponent. While I was doing so, I traded a bit and got a Gemini Elf, yay! The judge called everyone to their tables and we began...
Round 1: Me vs. Brandon
Brandon was a younger kid and it was his first time to a tournament. His deck had about 150 cards in it, really, and consisted of cards like Skull Servant, Baby Dragon and Harpy Lady. This kid pretty much threw cards together. Anyway, the first I had Trap Hole, Nobleman of Crossout, Thunder Nyan Nyan, Dream Sprite, and MST. He went first and set 3 cards f/d and a monster in f/d def. I drew a Harpies Feather Duster and used it. He had Change of Heart, Monster Reborn, and Trap Hole down. Why he put those first two down is beyond me... Anyway, I summoned my Thunder Nyan Nyan and then Noblemanned his f/d monster, which was Harpy Lady. I then attacked his lp. This went on for a few turns. At one point he destroyed my Cyber Jar and I got out 4 monsters and my Axe was added to my hand. He only picked one monster from it. I tributed two of them for the Wingweaver and equipped my Axe to it. I attacked with all my mons. and that ended the duel. Duel two pretty much happened the same way, I used cyber jar to get out a load of my monsters and attacked. He was none to happy about me winning, he looked like he was going to cry. I felt kind of bad for him.
Winner: Me :)
Round 2: Buy in. Yep, I got a buy in to round three, which I didn't really like, because, well I wanted to get into the next round because I won in this one. Oh, well. I got something to eat and watched others duel. I didn't think I'd get passed round 3, Jinzos, Exodias, Yatas, and Injection Fairy's were evreywhere. How, do these people get these things, I saw one kid about 8 years-old and did not have a single common card in his deck. Aaah! The unfairness of it all... Okay, I'm better now, on to round 3.
Round 3: Me vs. someone whose name I can't recall...
I was rather right about not moving past round 3 as you will soon see. Hey, that rhymed, I'm a poet and I did not know it...Oh, did I say that out loud? Anyway, I went first, I don't remember exactly what I drew, but I know brought a Thunder Nyan Nyan and I think I laid down a Trap Hole and a Magic Jammer. He went and summoned a Bazoo which I Trap Holed. Then he laid down to m/ts. I drew a Hysteric Fairy, and summoned him. I attacked with both. He drew and laid down Gemini Elf. He attacked my Hysteric Fairy and laid down another m/t. It went back and forth a couple turns. I had 3 monsters on the field, and no cards in my hand. I attacked his card and he flipped Mirror Force. Why me? I could do nothing but end my turn. He then summoned Yata Garasu and with my field and hand clear, he had me in a Yata Lockdown. The next duel I actually won, hey things are looking up. :) He wasn't able to pull any monsters for a few turns and by the time he could, I had already had the duel in the bag. Last duel, his bad luck of not drawing monsters seemed to switch to me. He oblliterated my life points with Gemini's Goblin Attack Force, and Bazoos. Woe is me.
Winner: Him :(
I got my Legacy pack and pulled.... nothing good. At least I got my Gemini Elf, finally. Some kid stole it from me, but luckily the manager was able to get it back for me. Thank you, thank you. So, it was a pretty good day.
