Fiendish Beatdown Paul Reinhardt Nyao Anime Pensacola, Florida 7/3/04 7 people, me being the 7th 3x Archfiend Soldier 2x Dark Necrofear 1x Dark Ruler Ha Des 2x Giant Orc 1x Jinzo 2x Kuriboh 1x Mask of Darkness 1x Newdoria 3x Opticlops 1x Sangan 1x Skull Archfiend of Lightning 1x Witch of the Black Forest 1x Imperial Order 1x Magic Cylinder 1x Magic Jammer 1x Mirror Force 2x Waboku 1x Card Destruction 1x Change of Heart 1x Dark Hole 1x Graceful Charity 1x Harpie's Feather Duster 1x Heavy Storm 1x Monster Reborn 3x Mystical Space Typhoon 1x Painful Choice 1x Pot of Greed 1x Premature Burial 1x Raigeki 1x Snatch Steal 40 cards Opticlops instead of Slate Warrior simply because I can't find nor afford them at this time, since my life has more demands than yugioh. I say that because EVERYONE wants to know why I don't have Slate Warrior in my deck. Anyhoo, I played this in two tourneys, the first being at the Nyao place mentioned above, but I'll put results from each. Deck's a little more passive since I've learned not to burn out my hand, but it basically clears the way for any tributes I can get. Necrofear end up being just a free creature for a tribute or for attack and has yet to use its effect in his deck. Round 1 - Bye Traded for a real Mirror Force to replace my japanese one and got a few cards for other decks I'm building, namely Trample, Simochi, Amazoness, Warrior, and Archfiend. Round 2 - Me vs. Scrub Sorry but I forgot his name, since it's the first time I saw him and all that. He beat a complete scrub first round who was using the playmat and all that. Anyway, the best he could so was Ring my Jinzo first round, everything else ended up Dark Rulered (got it out 3rd turn). Second match he had a wall via set creatures and traps, and I decked myself stupidly by Painful Choicing my last 5 cards since I thought I didn't play Change of Heart, which would win the match, but I did. Always double check, people. I also could've attacked with Newdoria a few turns earlier to win, he was at 350 LP. Third match I got out 2 Necrofears, Dark Ruler, and Opti by turn 5 to win turn 7. Round 3 *Finals* Me vs. Bobby This guy always beats me, literally. He had a Fiend deck that ran Skill Drain that clobbered mine but now he's running Chaos. First match was fairly close, lost because I Reborned a Skull Archfiend instead of a Jinzo, since I figured he had a Cylinder down and that was it; he actually had Mirror Force. Second match he got out CED turn 8 when I was at 300LP. Man I hate Chaos, and he didn't even have BLS! Other Tourney (I figured Pojo would cut starting here if 2 tourney results were a breach of their rules) Price Busters, same city Round 1 vs. Greg The scrub that never ends. Anyway I trampled him both games, nothing much to say here. Round 2 vs. Eric, my ride Hes playin a good Simochi deck. Problem is, apart from Breaker, I have full on M/T removal. First game was a blur, but he got good draws with Des Lacooda before I pwned him with Dark Ruler and a Necrofear. Second game I killed Simochi with Eye of Truth still out, so I gained life and ended up trouncing him. Round 3 *Finals* vs. Bobby For some reason these are a blur, but he got CED both games for the win. Prize money for the day: $3 store credit that I'll never use except for other tourneys at Nyao and my entree fee back at Price Busters Pros: -Jaelove for reviewing my deck. He told me to stick with adding Heavy Storm and another MST and my deck is VERY awesome! Thanks man! -Price Busters for throwing $1 entree tourneys -Price Busters again for having awesome prices. Most rares are $1, lesser supers are $2. It beats the hell out of the other shops around here... -Eric for driving and only taking $2 as gas money for like the past few months -My girl Artair, for being the awesome person she is Cons: -Heroic Images. They hosted Nyao, then when they left today, they kicked me and 2 friends out because, alhough we shopped there too, we were a 'thorn in their side'. If anyone goes to Pensacola, don't go there. Go to TBS Comics, it's SO much better. Not that people havent started the move already, since Heroic has been messing up their orders and only has their loyal shoppers (aka employees) and randoms from the mall to sell to. -Heroic Images again, just because they suck that much -Florida for not allowing fireworks, yet not doing anything about it when people set illegal ones off on the beach. The firefighters were in lawnchairs watching them! -Tribe-Infecting Virus for being the single reason most people don't play themed decks. This deserves the ban list ALOT more than Cyber and Change of Heart put together. Paul Reinhardt, Jek on the Pojo ladder + chat Paulwayner2@aol.com
