Mind Puppet - De-puppetized deck - Bob's collectables - Hamburg NJ -
Afternoon Tournament
1/15/04
My deck is now De-puppetized because I have made major changes to my deck so it
doesn't have the same strategy as my friend anymore. It's still a brand of
control though. (I still kept the name Mind Puppet though cause i like it ^_^)

[{Before Hand}]
I talked to some people and made some trades because there was time in between
the morning and afternoon tournament. For the morning, I borrowed some cards
from my friend Chris. (If you read my old report you know him as Whitey) I
thought my deck was better with the borrowed cards, which were Creature Swap,
Snatch Steal, Don Zaloog (I had one of my own too), D.D. Warrior Lady (Also had
one of my own), and Heavy Storm, but in the morning tournament, which should, in
theory, be easier because it's the winner's tournament, I only got 3rd. So after
the tourney was over, I traded my D.D. Warrior Lady away for Snatch Steal and
Thousand-Eyes Restrict and I traded my Don Zaloog and Thousand-Eyes Restrict for
Dark Magician of Chaos, Creature Swap, and Horn of Heaven. So I did some editing
and entered the afternoon tournament.
[{Round one}]
People: Mind Puppet vs. Sean (...Shawn? idk)
Decks: De-puppetized vs. Horus Control
This kid has all but like 45 cards or something. His dad comes with him every
week and, in theory, he should be very good. Not so much...
~ First Duel ~
I knew he ran Horus, and last time I faced him, I, as we at Bob's like to call
it, "Mega-Smited" him. My new game plan didn't work well versus him seeing as
Horus doesn't like magic cards, so I used my Reapers to reap him directly and
flush his hand, kinda like how my old strategy worked. ("Card from Hand! Card
from Hand!" ^_^) Ok, so I saw Horus Lv 8 for a short while, but nothing Tribe
can't take care of. :)
VICTORY!
~ Second Duel ~
I was gonna call this deck a Horus Deck before this duel, then I found out about
the control half of it. He used Ground Collapse in the first duel, but I had
Breaker break it the next turn. This time, he waited for my Magic and Trap
removal to be gone, caught me with a Scapegoat on the field and sprung 2 ground
collapses on me... -_-º So I drew Creature Swap, turned my goat to attack mode,
then I obtained his Jinzo via Creature Swap and attacked. Then he Hammer Shot it
and ended. I drew Kycoo and smacked him around a while until...
VICTORY!
(2-0)
[{Between Rounds}]
I watched the end of the match between Whitey and Tyler. Tyler is the only kid
I've ever faced who can consistantly beat me everytime we duel. It bugs me to no
end that he can beat me all the time, Whitey can beat him everytime, and me and
Whitey go 1 for 1 when we duel. (Except for my Uber-Slump when I lost 13
straight to him) Whitey commenced with the Smiting and then I asked Bob who I
was facing next and he said the winner of the duel going on behind me. I turned
around to see a girl dueling against a kid who I think his nmae is Dario. I said
whats the score and the girl said they both won 1 duel. Dario is an average
player who can beat me from time to time so I thought this girl must be at least
descent. I said whats the LP score, Dario said 8000-8000. I walked over, then I
was let down when Dario got Ha Des, Jinzo, and a Mad Dog out and killed her.
[{Round two}]
People: Mind Puppet vs. Dario, maybe.. (Hm, I must be bad with names.)
Decks: De-puppetized vs. Random Beatdown/Chaos compilation
I boasted by sitting down in front of him and saying "Ready to be Fiend Mega
Smited?" (I don't know why I kept saying that but I think there is a card called
Fiend Mega Cyber, but Im not sure. Anyway..)
~ First Duel ~
I drew into a monster heavy hand. I always let my opponent choose who goes
first. He went first. He set some Magic and/or Traps and a monster. My turn.
Draw a monster. Hand: Jinzo, Ha Des, Vampire Lord, Sinister, Magician of Faith,
and Kycoo the Ghost Destroyer. Summoned Kycoo, attack his down m--- cylinder...
I attacked myself... Well, It went similarly to this all duel. BUT THEN......
DEFEAT! (Oh, I got you good. You thought I'd say VICTORY!)
~ Second Duel ~
"Who got Mega-Smited now? Huh? Yea that's what I thought.." Oh, you're going
down little man. I went first. Used Stray lambs, set waboku. He summoned
breaker, broke my waboku, I chained. My turn. I sack a lamb for Jinzo, change a
lamb to attack mode, Creature swap lamb for Breaker and attack with both. Main
phase 2 I used forceful sentry and put his only monster, D.D. Warrior Lady, back
to his deck. His turn, he draws and sets a monster. I draw pot, play it, get
Dark Magician of Chaos and Change of Heart. I change his down, Spirit Reaper. I
offer his Breaker and his Reaper for DMoC and get pot, play pot, and smite him
directly. He eventually killed my DMoC but regardless...
VICTORY!
~ Third Duel ~
With that match being relatively easy, Im confident I can beat him easily in
this one, I stall for a while, the get a big guy out, idk which one. Ha Des
Maybe. He kept taking it with change and enemy controller even though I had
swords out. Incorrect. Idiot..
VICTORY!
(4-1)
[{Between Rounds}]
No drinks in the store so I went out, finished my barq's rootbeer, regrouped
(All of this is in 20º weather in a T-Shirt) then came in for the Finals of the
Winner's bracket.
[{Winner's Bracket Finals}]
People: Mind Puppet vs. Chris aka Whitey aka YT
Decks: De-puppetized vs. YT's Jesus Christ Control Deck (The one I copied for my
old "card from hand" deck)
This one should be interesting. I learned all the staple combos from him. I've
expanded from them though. Now I have some of my own combos. I need to take time
out here to point out one of the best combos I've seen in a long while. YT has 4
goats, opponent has an airknight and a face down spirit reaper. He turns a goat
to attack mode and uses creature swap, get spirit reaper and giving the attack
mode goat, then he offers airknight for jinzo. Then he turns another goat into
attack mode, enters battle phase and attack goat with goat, both die. Main phase
2 he turns another goat into attack mode and plays another creature swap giving
him the attack goat for the other monster. That's what I like to call Field
Control. xD
Anyways...
~ First Duel ~
I don't remember much about this duel, not much defense by either side, but my
Jinzo made an appearance and a smiting commenced.
VICTORY!
~ Second Duel ~
Longest.... Duel.... Ever.... He snatched my Vampire Lord, and attacked.
Draining Shield. My turn, I gain 1000. This was a short way into the duel so the
score was 11,000 - 4800. Things are looking good. Not so much... I made a
mistake and used torrential when he brought out his tribe and he had 2 down
monsters and I had 3 goats and a tomato in face-up defense mode. After I did it
I saw i only had Jinzo and like book of moon in my hand. He did nothing for a
while, so did I. We drew a little. Then we went into something that I've dubbed
a 'Frenzy'. We do it at school all the time. Since we know exactly what each
other is thinking and how we both play, we talk and move our hands very quickly
and try to trip each other up with fast moves. Of course, we leave a short time
for chaining traps and things like that, but kids at school even are like "How
can you guys do that?" These frenzies usually last about 3-5 minutes and we both
go through 5-7 turns and we both take damage and it leaves our hands flushed and
we're about even. We spent this one change of hearting my jinzo, snatch stealing
my jinzo, destroying snatch steal on my jinzo, and of course attacking each
other with my jinzo. At the end of this frenzy, the score was 2400 - 2500 I was
losing. Jinzo died somehow and I took a direct attack from Breaker at 1900. I
drew. I summoned my own breaker. Broke his only face down M/T. Magic Cylinder.
:D I used snatch steal and attacked for game.
VICTORY!
(6-1)
[{Between Rounds}]
Right after our match I told whitey we needed a rematch and he said he'd see me
in the finals. I cracked my back and watched whitey lose to Joe. -_- That should
never happen. Whitey = control deck.... Joe = Chaos Deck..... Control > Chaos...
Control is specificly made to counteract Chaos! 'Oh there's your BLS-EotB... Now
its mine, I'll remove himself.' :D
[{Finals}]
People: Mind Puppet vs Joe
Decks: De-puppetized vs CCCC (Cookie Cutter Chaos Control for those who are
stupid)
~ Duel 1 ~
-_-......................................................................
*Turn 3*
Him: Jinzo, Swords, and down M/T
Me: 5 Traps and Jinzo in my hand
DEFEAT!
~ Duel 2 ~
I attacked myself with Ha Des thanks to cylinder, then it was Ring of
Destructioned. So right there I've taken 4900. Any control I'd try to muster
would be stopped. He summoned his zaborg and used his effect to kill my last
goat and he said "Destroy it." and thats also what he says when he attacks, so I
was confused and mis-fired my cylinder so he knew I had it. So he didn't attack
at all with him. I was at 900 then...
DEFEAT!
(6-3)
[{Afterwards}]
Ugh, after two tourneys and no tournament victories I was flustered and angry
that I spent $10 and only got 1 booster and a Big Core for coming in 2nd. The
trades kinda made up for it, but whatever.
