Hey all! White Wolf here, and I
finally was able to enter a tournament at my local store since the start of my
bowling league. Sadly, I’ve been a bit out of practice in them because I
couldn’t enter them. My bowling league began at 1:00 and the tournaments
start at noon. Luckily, my pal Steve who runs the tournaments got me into
the tournament’s Top 16 finalists (thanks man!). All I had to do was win
one round in the tournament 2 – 0 and I’d be in! Here’s the deck, dubbed
He1lFiRe ~Speed Burn~. It owned the format, until I wasn’t allowed to use
my actual tournament sideboard (there had to be a drawback for getting in
late…):
11
x3 Lava Golem
x3 Stealth
Bird
x3 Spirit
Reaper
x1 Cyber Jar
x1 Morphing
Jar
14
x3 Scapegoat
x3 Wave Motion
Cannon
x3 Messenger of
Peace
x3 Level Limit
Area-B
x1 Pot of
Greed
x1 Painful
Choice
x1 Heavy
Storm
15
x3 Solemn
Judgment
x3 Gravity
Bind
x2 Ojama Trio
x2 Secert
Barrel
x1 Just
Deserts
x1 Ring of
Destruction
x3 Waboku
Sideboard:
x1 Reinforcement of the
Army
x2 Swarm of
Locusts
x1 Gyaku - Gire
Panda
x1 Mobius the Frost
Monarch
x2 Swarm of
Scarabs
x1
Metamorphosis
x1 Divine
Wrath
x1 Tribe-Infecting
Virus
x1 Torrential
Tribute
x1 Ojama Trio
x1 Skull
Servant
x1 Mystical Space
Typhoon
x1 Exiled
Force
The above is a makeshift sideboard and the
deck had to be modified. People were siding in quite unusual stuff against
a burner that day. My friend sided x3 Wave-Motion Cannons of his own
against burn, knowing its lack of m/t removal. He also sided x3 Lava
Golems to sac’ my goat tokens for my own burning. The actual deck will be
shown at the end of the report.
Round 6
Anthony I could tell was very new to the
game. He played very much like they do in the anime, but was however very
mature and confident unlike a lot of people that I play. Unfortunately,
confidence and maturity wasn’t enough to win, and he was swept 8000 – 0 both
games.
So now I was in the Top 16. Getting
quite curious as how the makeshift sideboard would do, I dueled a friend of mine
with the slight modifications. It wasn’t as frequent as my usual burner,
but it worked at least with my handicap. The finals then began, with me
vs. my friend Jake.
Top 16 Round
1
He1lFiRe vs. Jake
(cookie cutter chaos control)
Jake and I have recently been introduced
to each other. Throughout the time I was in my absence, he took my spot as
one of the top players (we have several). Duel 1 began with me taking him
down quite easily with the usual burner advantage.
Duel 2 on the other hand, was much
different. To test his changes, I only sided Mobius, Exiled Force, and one
Locust. I eventually learned why he was getting so much rep lately,
because by turn 3, I was facing down Jinzo and Tribe-Infecting Virus with 3
traps face down (them being Gravity Bind, Waboku, and Secret Barrel). I
was at 4000 LP when I topdecked Pot of Greed! I used it and drew a
Scapegoat and a Level Limit Area-B! We stalled for 15 turns straight, and
afterwards, I sac’d his Jinzo and facedown monster for Lava Golem. Jake
was in a tough spot, but then he drew his Heavy Storm. He would have
whipped me, but fortunate for me, I had two Solemn Judgments set facedown.
2000 to 5500, he was leading with me in a very tough spot. With one
Judgment left on the field and one left in the deck, I was knowing that because
his deck was getting low, his Premature Burial and Call of the Haunted were
going to be coming soon. Jake then uses his Painful Choice, taking
Premature Burial as one of the cards. I gave him his Serpent, dumping the
Burial leaving me fearing Call of the Haunted. Level Limit was still
active, but Breaker was coming. The next few turns continued, and both of
us had about 10 cards left in our decks (give or take a few). Jake had
played Creature Swap, and we swap’d my Spirit Reaper for his Reflect
Bounder. With Reflect’s defense holding back the constant Spirit Reaper
attacks, it held off till he decided to take some damage and clear my
field. Taking a total of 1600 points of damage (him now at 2100, me at
700), he used his face-up Tribe to destroy both of my defenses. To finish
this great match off, my next two cards from my deck were two Stealth
Birds. They dropped Jake’s LP to 0 as he attacked them with his
reapers.
He1lFiRe vs. Ed
Slewinski (Beatdown)
Ed, sadly, didn’t have as much of a great
game as the one Jake gave me. He put up a good fight, but just isn’t that
good siding against burn. Both games were easily
won.
He1lFiRe vs. Ryan Carey
(Mini Beats)
Ryan Carey’s deck is quite awkward.
I’ve known him for a while, and he’s know to make many a duelist drop at the
pure annoyance of his dueling. Long story short, he annoys the heck out of
them…
Anyway, Carey’s deck is still very
good. He came in 12th with it at the recent Regional Tournament
in
Our first game was a nice win for
me. I summoned a Lava Golem on his side of the field and it burner him for
three turns before he tributes it for Jinzo. Jinzo normally would of
cancelled out my defenses, but unfortunately for him, I had two Solemn Judgments
facedown. Unfortunately for me though was that after I killed Jinzo, he
used Premature Burial to bring it back. That also, was ½ of my
LP…
Now I’m at 2000 and he’s at 4500. To
finish game one, I needed to do a massive chain. Why? Because on his
turn, Carey would activate Call of the Haunted, bringing back Jinzo once
more. Carey already had three Ojama Tokens on the field, plus he had his
m/t zones filled up AND his monster zones BEFORE Jinzo. I knew he had Call
of the Haunted set, so to draw it out, I activated my Waboku when he attacked,
forcing him to activate Call of the Haunted to bring back his Jinzo. I
then chained Secret Barrel, which he chained with Book of Moon, which I then
finished the chain with a second Secret Barrel and Just Deserts for the
game.
Without my actual sideboard, I lost
games two and three. Although, I gained something with this
tournament. My deck was ready to take on
