'Change of Place' Deck Matt C (meeeee :p) Atlantis Games, Stanground, United Kingdom Single Match Elimination January 24th 2004 8 Participants (really poor turn out this week!) Pre-Tourney 'Talk-through' Ok, been a while since i entered a tournament (since works been mighty busy), therefore this is the first tournament that i have managed to use either Magicians Force (MFC) or Dark Crisis (DCR) (Ive used them with friends). 9:30 am and i arrived at the store, said g'morning to Mark (who owns the shop), bought 5 packs of Dark Crisis - Different Dimension Gate, Tsukuyomi, Vampire Lord!!!! Great Maju Garzett and Dark Scorpion Combo pulled. Mark offered me Judgement of Anubis and DD Warrior Lady for it, but there was no way i was letting go off the little baby! Mark sed the other 4 were upstairs, and i was half hour late, which confused me, as it sounded like not many ppl were going to turn up :( 10 am rolled round, and only 8 had turned up, but we were all fired up anyway. I've played all the others before, 3 others hadnt been for about a month (missing the DCR release here in UK). 2 were at their first tourney (yes i said id played them, i know them as friends). The final two go most weeks, so i knew they were to be the tougher opponents!) My Deck 'Change of Place' version 2.1 (the .1 is cos i changed it slightly when i got there) Level 1 - 3 Monsters 1 x Kuriboh 1 x Magician of Faith 1 x Sasuke Samurai 1 x Penguin Soldier 1 x Sangan 1 x Cyber Jar 1 x Fiber Jar (7 in Total) Level 4 Monsters 1 x Tsukuyomi - (This was put in, in place of La Jinn) 1 x Spear Dragon 1 x Tribe Infecting Virus 1 x Archfiend Soldier 1 x DD Warrior Lady (traded this for a Spear Dragon) 1 x Witch of the Black Forest 1 x Exiled Force 1 x Giant Orc 2 x Kelbek - I loved Wall of Illusion, so i threw a few in for fun :) 2 x Zolga - I'm always using tributes, and this makes it more fun! (12 in Total) Level 5 - 8 Monsters 1 x Different Dimension Dragon 1 x Great Maju Garzett - i could only imagine how great this was going to be! 1 x Jinzo 1 x Vampire Lord (4 Total) (23 Monsters Total) Magic/Trap 1 x Harpie's Feather Duster (japanese, Worldwide didnt have the same cards in UK and i'm not paying £££ for one!) 1 X Swords of Revealing Light 1 x Graceful Charity 1 x Cost Down - (i keep thinking of adding Ultimate Offering in, for times with hand full of Tributes) 1 x Monster Reborn 1 x Pot of Greed 1 x Raigeki 1 x Scapegoat 1 x Mystical Space Typhoon 1 x Heavy Storm 1 x Change of Heart 1 x Book of Moon 1 x Call of the Haunted 1 x Magic Cylinder 1 x Magic Jammer 1 x Sakuretsu Armour - (i think this should be at least a Super!!) 1 x Barrel Behind the Door - (i get sick of Ring!) 1 x Windstorm of Etaqua 1 x Seven Tools of the Bandit 1 x Judgement of Anubis - (bought this off Mark in the end lol) 1 x Negate Attack 1 x Mirror Force -------- So there we go, i know you are probably sitting there thinking, geez this guy could edit his deck, but i like it, it works, so thats all that matters! Course, I want Snatch Steal, Imperial Order, Breaker the Magic Warrior to go in, but no one seems to have any to trade (grrr) Anyways, on with the Tourney! -------- ??? | _____________________|_______________________ | | __________?_________ __________?___________ | | | | _____?_____ ____?_____ _____?_____ _____?_____ | | | | | | | | Me Matt 2* Hannah Neale* Alex(andria) Chris* Martin Josef * = Members of P$ychIx (they go as a team of 4, who split up for Tag-Team Tournies) A nice setup, been a while since i played Matt! Duel 1 : Round 1/1 : Me (Matt) vs Matt 2 (ill refer to him as Matt, and i'll be 'me') Opener : Great Maju, Kuriboh, Spear Dragon, Pot of Greed, Vampire Lord I drew 7 Tools (after winning the coin flip). Played Pot of Greed. Kelbek and Giant Orce added to my onslaught. I put Kelbek face down, and set 7 Tools. Matt drew and set.... nothing! Ending, i was concerned, drawing Spear Dragon, i flipped Kelbek and summoned Spear Dragon. He Kuriboh'd Spear Dragon (surprise) and took the hit for 1500. Matt drew and a flashed a devilish grin an me. I was in trouble! Playing 2 m/t's face down, he then played Raigeki, and followed up with MST. I was defenseless (or so he thought). Reborning Spear Dragon, he sacrificed it for Great Maju! Oh dear! 3800 of pure power, and yes, you guessed it! Kuriboh (saved my butt). I drew Judgement of Anubis, set it and Giant Orc in attack. Ending, he drew and flipped a MST, Judgement was activated, i threw Samurai, and he took a whopping 3800 Direct! He set a monster in defense and ended. i drew the one card i could have hoped for, Change of Heart! playing it, i flipped Yata Garasu!!! (whoah!) I attacked him, and he nodded. Then i tributed the little fiend for my Vampire Lord. Ending, Matt didnt draw and didnt set, i asked if he could do anything and he replied 'No'. So we finished Me: 8000 - Matt: 8000 - 6500 - 2700 - 2500 - Yata Lock ( i hate Yata normally, hence not using it personally) I managed to catch the last few moments of Martin vs Josef. Josef was trying to Yata Martin, but he was pulling Trap after Trap to stop him! Martin summoned Giant Orc eventually for the win. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Standings After Round 1 ??? | _____________________|_______________________ | | __________?_________ __________?___________ | | | | ____Me_____ __Neale___ ____Alex___ ____Josef__ | | | | | | | | Me Matt 2* Hannah Neale* Alex(andria) Chris* Martin Josef --------------------------------- Round 2 : Duel 1/1 : Me VS Neale (who runs a strict defensive deck) Opener: Kelbek, Kuriboh, Jinzo, Sakuretsu Armour, and Cost Down. He went first, setting a monster face down. I drew Pot of Greed, played it and got Exiled Force and Negate Attack. Set Negate and Summoned Exiled Force. Ended. He set another monster face down and flipped Wall of illusion. He attacked an i played Negate attack. Drew another Kelbek. Set one and used Exiled Force on facedown. It was Cyber Jar (new addition methinks). he attacked next with WoI, and stupidly lost 800 Lp and left himself open!! I drew Zolga, used Cost Down, discarded Kuriboh and Summoned jinzo! Switched Kelbek and hit for 3900. He then played monster reborn, and tributed his Cyber Jar for a Japanese Millenium Shield. Adding Sword and Shield, i knew id hurt, NOT!! He attacked Jinzo an i cursed silently! Drawing MST, i set it and summoned Kelbek #2. Attacked for 3000. He drew and placed his hand on his deck. Laughing and showing me his hand, he had another 2 Millenium Shields in his hand! Typical. Me: 8000 - 6200 Neale: 8000 - 7200 - 4300 - 1300 - Surrendered Didnt see anything of Alex vs Josef, but he was getting a tad annoyed during the duel, so i assumed she was being rather speedy with the victory. ??? | _____________________|_______________________ | | ________ Me _______ ________Alex__________ | | | | ____Me_____ __Neale___ ____Alex___ ____Josef__ | | | | | | | | Me Matt 2* Hannah Neale* Alex(andria) Chris* Martin Josef ------------------------ Final Round: Me vs Alex Now it seems Alex had made a name for herself since our last meeting. The last time we duelled, i beat her in a narrow 2-1 victory in the Semis, and got knocked out afterwards. Anyways, this turned out to be a 'Speedy Clash of Titans'. I let Alex go first, being the lady (not being sexist, its the gentlemanlike thing to do) (was a mistake) She played pot of greed, then Graceful Charity, throwing Kycoo and Soul Release. I didnt like this one bit! She set a monster face down an ended. I summoned DD Warrior Lady and attacked. Hiros Shadow Scout was flipped and i lose Pot of Greed, gaining Different Dimension Dragon and Windstorm. I set Windstorm and ended. She played Confiscation, Delinquent Duo on me, losing 2000 LP, but i lost Vampire Lord, Raigeki and Feather Duster! Then she played the Forceful Sentry, and sent my only non-tribute monster (Fiber Jar) to my deck. Summoning Yata, she attacked but i wasnt out! Playing Monster Reborn, i summoned Vampire Lord, and hit for another 2000. Calling monster, she threw down Despair from the Dark! I set Book of Moon and ended. She summoned Yata again, and called her attack. I played Windstorm of Etaqua and then Book of Moon'd Yata! She set 2 M/Ts and ended. Drawing MST i set it and put Vampire Lord in defense. Ending, i should have played the MST! She attached Megamorph to Despair, it was at 5800, then she attacked a second one, and it reached 8700! Thank god i put Vamp in defense i thought! Then she flipped her face down : Ring of (Cheap) Destruction. She had Barrel Behind the Door set too! She asked what my next card was, and i nearly cried for it was my own Barrel Behind the Door! Me: 8000 --> -700 Alex: 8000 - 7000 - 6000 - 4000 - Winner. I shook her hand, and congratulated her. She recieved 8 Packs of Cards. 2 Dark Crisis, 3 Magicians Force and 3 Pharoanic Guardian. 2 of her MFC had Luster Dragons in! She let me have one, telling me she enjoyed the duel and cos she had 4 lol. She didnt get a lot else. I recieved 1 DCR 1 MFC and 1 PGD. I pulled Legendary Flame Lord (which was nice cos i had 3 Rituals and the artwork rules!) I got Z Metal Tank in my MFC, which was ok, cos i have 2 of them. My PGD had Pyramid Turtle in it, which i put in without hesitation, taking out Tsukuyomi (who made no appearance in the Tourney!) So there we go! What a great day! ----- Pro's and Con's! ----- Pro's 1) my lovely car for the fact i can go places 2) Vampire Lord - who rocks! 3) Alex for being a really good sport, and a great friend! Con's 1) McDonald's, it was closed for Refurbishment, so i couldnt eat!! 2) My Packs at the end, they werent all that great! 3) Not many ppl turning up at the end. Maybe next time! ----- So, if you wanna email me, flame me (if you have to, tho BBQ Season is nearly here) or just chat, my address is bindings_of_orichalcos@hotmail.com Any suggestions to Deck Edits would be great.
