Hi all,
Welcome to the second
tournament report for this weekend! I hope you are all doing
well!
This weekend, I let
someone talk me into using my Horus deck instead of my Monarch deck. The store
is running Advanced Format this week. Since I hate Traditional, and this was the
only traditional format deck I have, I decided to totally abandon traditional
and rework this deck to advanced format only. Since I used the deck last, I
managed to get another LV8 and decided to run two, add a third Level Up and a
few other changes. Mirage Dragons really helped so, I suggest using at least one
in a dragon deck.
So, here's the deck as
it stands this week.
2x Horus LV8
2x
Horus LV6
3x Horus LV4
2x Spear Dragon
2x Luster Dragon
2x Mirage
Dragon
1x Fiber Jar
1x Cyber Jar
1x Jinzo
1x Sinister Serpent
1x
TiV
1x Breaker the Magical Warrior
3x Level Up
1x Pot
of Greed
1x Change of Heart
1x Snatch Steal
1x Painful Choice
1x
Premature Burial
1x Heavy Storm
1x MST
1x Giant Trunade
2x NoC
2x
Stamping Destruction
1x RoD
1x Royal
Decre
1x Torrential Tribute
1x Call of the Haunted
2x Divine
Wrath
The side deck is
messed up right now because I pull so many cards from my other side deck. So,
I'm not going to bother listing it.
Well, we get there a
little early and I am bombarded by people who want to trade. I do a lot of
trading and finally get to sit down and work on my deck a
little.
First pairings are
called.
ROUND
1
Horus VS Dark Magician
Deck
Well, I'm thinking I
am going to lose in the first round to this guy, even though he isn't the best
duelist around. His deck actually surprised me and he had some pretty good ideas
in there.
GAME
1
He choses to go first.
I draw Level Up, Luster, MST, LV6 and Change. Not
bad.
He summons a Skilled
Dark and plays Reload for 4 cards. His Skilled Dark gets a
counter.
I draw RoD and set it.
I Change his Skilled Dark, it gets another counter but I tribute it for LV6,
attack for 2300, then play Level Up. That was actually stupid on my part. I
should have played Level Up first, but it's too
late.
I negated his Card
Destruction, then summoned Breaker my next turn and attacked him for 4900. He
was at 800Lp and I played Ring on my Breaker for the win. Wow. That was over in
three turns. Good job. I don't expect that to happen
again.
GAME
2
He chose to go first
and I get RoD, MST, PoG, Heavy and Torrential. Grr. Not
good.
He sets a S/T card and
ends his turn.
I draw LV6. Still not
good. I play Pot of Greed and get 2 Level Up. What the heck?! Curses on this
deck! I set the Torrential and Level Up and end my turn
again.
He isn't getting
anything any better so, I'm safe for now. But that's probably going to change
real soon!
Finally, I draw a
Spear Dragon, MST his Ring and attack him for 1900. I set my Ring and end
my turn.
He tosses out Fusion
Gate and discards Dark Magician and Buster Blader for Dark Paladin and I played
Ring on him! Wahaha!
He then pays 2000Lp
for Dimension Fusion and I Torrential. HAhahahah! That was so funny! If I was
drinking milk, I would have spewed it out my
nose!
I draw another Spear
Dragon and kill him for the win. Man, that was
funny....
RECORD 1 -

ROUND
2
Horus VS Level Limit
Raging Flame Sprite thing.
He wins the die roll
and choses to go first. He activates LLAB and 1
S/T.
I draw 2 Spear Dragon,
RoD, LV6, Fiber Jar and Painful Choice. I play Painful and offer Cyber Jar,
Breaker, Stamping Destruction, Sinister and Heavy Storm. He gives me Sinister. I
set Fiber Jar and Ring.
He MSTs my Ring, plays
PoG and ends his turn.
I flip Fiber Jar and
get nothing to attack him with! I get Fiber, Divine Wrath, LV6, Call and Level
Up. I set the Fiber and the Divine Wrath.
He does
nothing.
I flip Fiber again and
get NOTHING again. I get Decree, RoD, LV8, Change and Heavy Storm. My deck hates
me. I set the Ring and Decree.
He activates LLAB and
summons Raging Flame Sprite and I Ring that ugly little thing! There is no way
I'm going to keep that monster on the field for any amount of time.
I draw Change of
Heart, play Heavy Storm and summon a Mirage Dragon and attack.
He activates another
LLAB and plays Card Destruction. I only have one card so I get a
LV4.
I draw a Luster do
nothing.
He draws, sets a S/T
and ends his turn.
I draw Painful again
and offer MST, Tornado, 2 Stamping Destruction and Breaker. He gives me Breaker.
I summon LV4 and play Level Up, getting LV6 to the
field.
He activates Final
Countdown. I draw Cyber and set it.
He keeps doing
nothing. I tibute my Mirage for Jinzo and it's in defense and someone comes up
and looks at the field and says, "Hey, you know
GAME
2
Well, I side deck in
all my level 3 monsters. 3 Kinetic Soldiers, 3 Masked Dragons and add more M/T
removal with another Stamping Destruction.
He goes first and I
get Fiber Jar, PoG, Kinetic, LV6 and LV4.
He sets 2 S/T and
thats all.
I draw MST, play PoG
and get the Decree and a Level Up. Oh, nice hand. I summon the Kinetic and
attack. He chains Scapegoat. I hit a token, set the Decree and MST and end my
turn.
He activates Xing Zhen
Hu and I chain with the Decree. He chains with Waboku. Oh yeah. He sets a
monster.
He's hurting now. I
got the Decree out on him. I summon LV4, Level Up for LV6, hit his face down
Raging Flame Sprite and get LV8 in the end phase. I have total Spell and Trap
negation on the field. Well, soon I have 2 LV8's and a Mirage Dragon on the
field and kill him pretty good.

ROUND
3
Horus VS Cookie Cutter
Chaos Control
GAME
1
I go first and draw 2
Level Up, TiV, Luster, Jinzo and Stamping Destruction. I summon the Luster, set
Level Up and end my turn.
He sets 2 S/T cards,
summons Exiled Force. Then sets another S/T card. Ok.
I activate Stamping
Destruction and he Magic Drains it, I discard a Level Up, he takes 500LP damage
from Stamping Destruction. I attack and he activates Waboku. He just used up all
three of the cards he had set in the previous turn and he only has 2 cards in
his hand. I set a Dust Tornado.
He tributes His Exiled
for Jinzo and attacks my Luster Dragon. Smeg.
I summon TiV and
discard for machine and attack.
He pays 800Lp for
Premature Burial and I Dust Tornado it. He sets a monster and ends his
turn.
I attack his set
Sinister with TiV.
He gets Sinster back
and sets it. I have the upperhand now.
I draw Mirage Dragon
and attack his set Sinister with TiV, then directly with the Mirage
Dragon.
Well, things are going
hunky dory for me until he starts to special summon BLS and I get so mad I quit.
I freaking HATE that cheap card! Its as bad as Yata was Post Ban! He is like all
apologizing and stuff saying he's sorry and I tell him he isn't sorry. He needs
to make a deck without that cheap crap in it. I am SICK of BLS. I BARF on BLS!
OK so, Horus Level 8
is pretty broken too, but you don't see every one running around with a
GAME
2
I am still rattled
from my loss to that crap and am so screwed up, I don't go to my side deck. I
don't really care because I didn't want to use this deck today anyway! I should
have gone with my gut instinct and used the Monarch deck.
I chose to go first
and draw Level Up, Spear Dragon, TiV, Mirage, NoC and LV8. Why, oh why, can't I
ever draw a LV4 with a Level Up or two? It NEVER happens. I am doomed to wander
the vast expanse of non-victory! I summon a Spear Dragon and set Level
Up.
He sets a monster and
a S/T.
I draw a LV6. Oh woe
is me. Where is a Level 4? I NoC his Shining Angel, summon the Mirage Dragon and
attack. I didn't tribute for the LV6 because his set S/T card concerned me and
with the Mirage Dragon out, he can't activate a trap during the battle phase.
Hopefully, I can tribute the Spear Dragon next turn and Level Up the
LV6.
Well, TiV hits the
field and totally screws that plan up in a major way. Discarding for Dragon
totally kills my field, and with only a Level Up set as a bluff, I am certainly
going to get killed.
I have to summon my
own TiV and discard to kill both our TiV. That really sucks and I am staring to
spiral into a Yugioh depression so deep, only a miracle can save me from it's
gaping maw! Visions of BLS spin through my head and I am dizzy with
destruction.
He sets 3 S/T cards,
summons a DD Warrior Lady and attacks. Why didn't I side deck in my Kinetics? I
am an idiot.
I summon a Mirage
Dragon and attack his DD, he removes them from play and Dust Tornado's my Level
Up. Level Up? Oh yeah, that card IS in my deck. Too bad I NEVER GET TO USE
IT!
Then he summons a
Spirit Reaper and starts to take my hand apart with that little Zombie. Bye Bye
LV6. You were pointless anyway.
Oh JOY! I get a Luster
Dragon and attack his face up Spirit Reaper! Maybe there is hope for me after
all.
Oh, he Drops Off my
Call of the Haunted and another DD Warrrior Lady takes out my Luster and the
Spirit Reaper takes the last card I have in my hand. Horus Level 8. A nice and
shiny looking card. It's got pretty art on it and it has a really good effect.
Too bad a 3000 attack, spell negating Dragon gets taken out by a puny 300 attack
Zombie!
Oh boy. I draw Snatch
Steal and play it on his dumb Reaper just to get rid of the stupid
thing.
He sets a
monster.
I draw RoD and set
it.
He draws and sets a
card.
I draw and he Drops
Off my Luster. Ohhhhh, that hurt.
He summons Breaker and
I Ring him.
I draw Torrential and
set it.
He sets a
monster.
I draw Change of Heart
and am praying that he's set a Cyber Jar or Fiber Jar. It's a Magician of Faith.
Well, that'll have to do and I flip it and get my Change of Heart back. Can I
even do that? I've heard somewhere the card has to stay on the field until it's
effect resolves. Does Change's effect resolve after it's activated or in the end
phase? I don't know and I didn't really care at the
time.
He plays Forceful
Sentry on my Change of Heart. Boy, that *&^%#@(*&^
sucks.
He keeps attacking me
little by little because I can't draw a monster. He finally summons a DD Warrior
Lady and I Torrential.
@#$%^&*! I keep
pulling useless magic cards! This time I get a retarded Stamping Destruction! I
set it anyway, like it's really going to help
me!
Then I get a Divine
Wrath, but without a card in my hand it's freaking POINTLESS! I set it too, but
it doesn't matter because I lose. He summons a Don, hits me with it, and I get
rid of the top two from my deck because I have no cards in my
hand!
Man, I got owned by a
Cookie Cutter Chaos Control. I guess that's why they are so popular, because
they work, even though someone else thought up the deck and anyone can just copy
it and pretend they have deck building
skills.
I didn't really want
to use my Horus deck today anyway.
Ok, the rest of the
afternoon goes miserably as well. It seems like every deck I play with gets
owned. Oh well, the heart of the cards just had a coronary on me today. I did
get an Ultimate Monster Reincarnation though. It's
purty.
So, that wraps it up
for this weekend. Next weekend is Christmas, so there will be no tournament next
Saturday but there will be one on Sunday, so....Until that time, have a happy
holiday and keep on winning!
