Hi all,
Welcome to another tournament report.
Since the new tournament format was instigated, this was the first week
after the new forbidden ban list the store was using the "Traditional" format.
Last week, we played by the fobidden list and it was fun. The store now has a 13
and under tournament before the all ages one, and my daughter totally dominated
and won easily. We couldn't make it to the 13 and under tournament this week,
but it didn't really matter because my daughter has switched her deck to a post
ban deck and it's too much trouble to change it back.
I almost didn't go to the tournament today because I like the Advanced
format so much better. I couldn't stay away though.
All of my decks are post ban now. I didn't want to remake a deck I had
already run before so, I needed to build at least one deck to use in the
Traditional format tournaments. I decided to try my hand at a Horus deck. I had
to cannibalize two decks, taking cards from both to round out my new deck. I
quickly put it together the morning of the tournament and did not play test it
at all. Since I had never played it, was unfamiliar with the mechanics and
effects of the deck, I fully expected to lose early.
Anyway, here's the deck. I will be making changes on it in the near
future.

I know it needs work, but it's all I could throw together on sudden
notice.
We got there a little early and did some trading. Soon, the tournament was
underway.
ROUND 1
Horus VS Clown Control
This was laughably easy. Peten the Dark Clown stalled for a bit but the
uber powerful banned cards Raigeki and Harpie's took care of his field and I
beat him down both games. A breeze.
ROUND 2
Horus VS Zombie
William has come a long way since I first dueled him. He use to run an
equip beatdown deck which I mercilessly destroyed every time I played him. I
gave him some advice and he took it. He tried an Exodia deck for a couple of
weeks and that didn't work. This week he came with a Zombie deck that was very
effective and had me on the ropes all three duels.
GAME 1
Wow. This deck can get out the big hitters fast. I Graceful Charity and
Monster Reborn Horus LVL6 and set a WotBF. I get LV8 on the field next turn and
he RoD's it. That sucks. Oh well, we both take 3000LP damage and we trade
attacks back and forth for a while until I win.
GAME 2
Man, Vampire Lord, a Call of the Mummy summoned Despair From the Dark and
Yata Garasu locks me up early for the loss.
GAME 3
I Torrential Trubuted his Yata Garasu on the second turn and that was it
for him. As soon as you could say "Bob's your Uncle", Horus LV8 was on the field
and I negated every spellcard he tried to activate and I won. Horus is
BROKEN!
ROUND 3
Horus VS Beatdown
Well, it's Josh and I. We always have great duels and these were no
exceptions.
GAME 1
Josh got Magical Scientist on the field and sucked up my Horus LV8 and LVL6
with two TER. He paid too much LP just to get rid of them only to have me
Monster Reborn LV8 for the kill.
GAME 2
I Torrential Tribute when he summons Scientist and I dominate from that
point. 8000LP - 0LP. Torrential is really working for me today.
SEMI-FINALS
Horus VS Hand Control
Once again, I have to duel Joseph, who has a great hand control deck, and I
was slapped around like a schoolboy getting his lunch money taken by the local
bully. Ha! The first game I put up a little fight but the second game I got my
butt KICKED!
Well, I place third so that was much better than expected. I discovered a
few weaknesses in the deck and I think I might switch it up to where it's more
dragon oriented. I don't know. I have a week to think about it.
Until next time. Happy dueling!
