I woke up at 9 and got in the shower and caught the bus
at around 1030. When I walked in there it didn’t seem like I would have much
competition until everyone I knew showed up. Me and my friends did some trading
and then it was time to start the tourney so I paid my $3 entry fee and received
and tournament 5 booster pack. I didn’t get anything good though. The tourney
started with three rounds swiss then top four would face
off.
Round One – The Game ( as I like to
call myself ) vs some little kid
The first match was nothing he played a lot of tribute
monsters so I nailed his life points down to zero in like 5 turns. Second duel
was pretty much the same thing.
Winner: The
Game
After the duel I helped him with his deck and taught him
some better ways to play his cards. Because he would play his graceful charity
facedown and wouldn’t even play it.
Soon later the tournament organizer KC announced the
pairings for round two.
Round Two – The Game vs Sam ( haha he
has the same name as me )
This guy was a bit tougher than the last kid lol. He had
the cards but he never played his deck to its full capabilities. I managed a
delinquent duo and forceful in the first hand and after which I left him in the
dust with my berserk gorilla. For some reason he had 3 m/t down but never
stopped my attacks, finally I finished him and I won the first match. Next duel
he got pot of greed and graceful charity in the first hand which I hate when
people do that because its too much of an advantage. Again he never played his
cards right and my jinzo got summon and I reborned his jinzo and hit for 4800.
Next he played swords and I had to stall out for 3 boring and meaningless turns.
Finally the swords were over and I guess he drew nothing to help him so I
attacked for game.
Winner: The
Game
Me and my friend started talking strategies when KC gave
out tp5 packs to everyone. Everybody started opening like crazy and so did I,
but again I got nothing good. Then a kid starts yelling saying he got Luminous
Soldier. I took a look and he got it and he started saying he was never going to
trade it and I just smiled because I knew I would be able to get it from him.
After showing him my trading binder he found some cards he wanted but he
couldn’t seal the deal because the next round was
starting.
Round Three: The Game vs my friend
John ( I couldn’t believe it )
The First match he just forfeited to me because he said
he got a bad hand, I was like ok! Second match I won by field control and his
hand size was real low. He managed to get a cyber jar which was funny because I
got all monsters and he got only a yata which couldn’t be special summoned and
he had no m/t so I just attacked with all for game.
Winner: The
Game
After winning I felt pretty confident of winning the
tournament. I went back to the kid with the Luminous Soldier and starting
negotiating. This kid took forever and finally asked if he’ll trade for jinzo. I
said in a heartbeat ok and so I traded him but since I knew I was ripping him
off I couldn’t hold a guilty feeling so I gave him about seven other cards that
were fairly good such as hollowed life barrier, firestorm monarch, mobius,
etc.
Now it was time for round four to begin so I sat down
and waited.
Round Four – The Game vs a guy with a
really good Last turn deck
First duel I tried to attack him for as much as I could
and finally I took him out with my exiled force. Duel two went by in ONE turn,
in one turn he got jowgen, wall, and last turn. I was pretty mad at this point.
Duel three was really close all I remember is he got pot and graceful in one
turn then set down 3 m/t and summon jowgen and played reload and got 8 cards
reloaded. Next it was my turn and our life was low he like at 3000 and something
and I was at 1400. I drew and I played premature and he played solemn judgment
so then I played reborn got my jinzo and then summon breaker and used his token
and I breakerized his seven tools. Next I attacked for
game.
Winner: The
Game
After winning my hands were cold because I thought for
sure I was going to lose with that reload. I went to my friends and we started
playing for fun. KC finally announced the top 4 pairings and told everyone
thanks for coming. I was in and so was my friend john and two other guys one guy
ran a last turn deck I thought oh gosh, and another guy ran a beatdown
deck.
Round One of Semi-finals: The Game vs
my friend John
First duel I didn’t pull anything all I got was a hand
full of monsters so I lost pretty badly. Next duel I managed a victory but
barely. The Third duel has to be the toughest I’ve had for awhile. It was move
for move and we were dropping life points like crazy. My hand was gone and he
was killing me with his jinzo and swords on the field. I drew my fiber jar and
set it facedown. Next turn he summoned goblin attack force and attacked and sure
enough fiber came through. We both drew our five cards and he played pot of
greed gosh I hate drawing power on first moves. He set one facedown card and
said go. I played space typhoon and blasted his imperial. Next I summon
archfiend soldier and attack for 1900. then I set 2 facedown m/t. his turn he
played feather duster I played imperial and he attack with berserk and I
cylindered for game.
Winner: The
Game
After the match we congratulated each other and I told
him I would give him 3 of my packs that I win. The finals narrowed down and it
was time to begin.
Finals: The Game vs Last Turn ( why
me! )
This guy ran a weird last turn it was like scientist and
last turn combined. The fist game I managed a solid victory of this guy. Next
game he played reload like 2 times and got what he needed to win. Third duel he
played jowgen and one m/t, I was wondering what is he doing? I played breaker
and used his token and got rid of magic jammer and attacked his jowgen. Next his
played scientist and got thousand eyes restrict and sucked up my breaker
and attacked with scientist owww. This guy did not know how to play and finally
I finished him off. Duel three came and I was winning when I flipped cyber and
played my cards down and his turn came and he summoned asura priest and said he
can attack directly and now it was time to ask for a ruling. KC said he can
attack directly which was pretty dumb so I let him, soon after I fried him with
raigeki and attacked full force for game.
Winner of the tournament: The
Game
After the tournament KC found out the priest couldn’t
attack directly, but by then I didn’t really care. I got my five packs and gave
three to my friend he pulled all rares. Then I opened my two packs and I got the
ultimate rare the creator and I was really surprised. The next pack was just a
silly rare.
Props:
1 Me getting tp5 packs
2 getting luminous soldier ( although im still looking
for a needle worm )
3 getting the creator
4 winning the tournament
Slops:
Having to face last turn decks ( I hate that deck,
I wish UDE restricted the jowgen of wall )
Only getting two packs dumb
me
