I was real excited about this tournament as I had taken a
brief hiatus from the scene for a while to fine tune my deck for the very
difficult metagame in my area. I had a few practice duels beforehand that I won
with a nice guy there who runs a Magnet Warrior deck. The pairings were then
announced and the tournament began. Prizes were 5 boosters for first and 3 for
second.
Round 1 Me versus Brett
(Beatdown)
I was very relieved to get a pairing against a person who
wasn’t a duelist that would pound me into the ground, as I was tired of losing
in the first round. I first killed his set monster by using Marauding Captain
with Exiled force. I also set Bind and Call of the Haunted. He MST’d my Call and
summoned Harpie’s Brother to kill my Captain. I ended up dark holing and used
Warrior returning Alive to summon back Captain and attack with White Magical
hat. He couldn’t get through my bind and I ended up Yata-Locking
him.
In the second duel, I swarmed him with Marauding captain and Hayabusas equipped with United We Stand. I dealt huge damage and ended the duel quickly.
1-0
In the interim between rounds, I bought some new deck
sleeves and just chilled out doing some casual duels
again.
Round 2 Me versus 14 year old
guy
The guy I dueled this time was using a pretty weak deck
that was borrowed from a friend/sub-rate player. My monsters and magics had no
trouble overpowering him as he had no good traps and set the lousy magic cards
he had like Spirit Elimination and Spring of
Rebirth.
The second duel was pretty much the same as the first. I
swarmed with Captain and ended up Yata-Locking him for the
win.
2-0
Round 3 Me versus Kevin
(Control/Beatdown)
This is was one guy from a trio of players that I fear
the most at getting matched up against. They have many rare cards and great
strategies. He starts by playing Mystic Tomato and sets one card face down after
playing graceful charity. I set Waboku and Book of Moon face down after playing
tribute to the doomed on his tomato. I use Marauding Captain to attack with Spirit Reaper, but he Wabokus to stop
the damage. He then plays another mystic tomato and plays creature swap. I give
him captain while I get his Tomato. I draw Ring of Destruction and set it. He then plays another Mystic tomato and
tries to kamikaze against his Swapped tomato. I use Ring on the tomato I
control. However, he attacks with Tomato and Captain against my Reaper to deal
me damage. Next turn, I switch Reaper to defense mode and end my turn. Kevin
then plays Dark Hole and Delinquent Duo to wipe out my hand. I then get
Yata-Locked for the win.
The second duel was very similar to the first, with him
Change of Hearting my Hat early and using Confiscation and Delinquent Duo to
destroy my hand. I got Yata-Locked again to lose the
match…
2-2
Kevin went on to win the tournament. He pulled his second
Mirage of Nightmare is all I know of his booster
pulls.
I then bought one PGD booster just for the heck of it and
was very surprised to find a shiny Guardian Sphinx! I held on to it to trade
later for good cards.
Props
To Bigfoots for running a great
tourney.
To Tyler, the guy with the Magnet Warrior
deck.
To the awesome selection of cards at low prices under the
shelf at the shop.
To Yata, for being such un unstoppable
monster.
Slops
To Yata, for beating me twice in the third
round….
To a little kid who though FINAL was an invincible
auto-win strategy.
To the co-owner Joe, who hid my change from the
tournament entry fee uner the shelf with a note saying “Shhh… I’m hiding from
Mike Berman.” LOL, though!
If anyone has any ideas for the deck, email me at meb9000@yahoo.com.
Happy dueling!
