Subject: The rise, fall, and rebirth of the Gravekeepers. Books-A-Million, Sunrise, FL



Before this report, I have a story to tell. Upon the reign of Chaos, I saw originality plummet everywhere. Everyone was taking the easy way out and using Chaos (myself included). I looked to counter this, but saw only prayer and homicide as a solution. Then, as the first ban list drew nigh, I realized my solution, a Gravekeeper deck. However, I didn’t build it because I thought the Bans would shut down Chaos. Little did I know, that Chaos would breed with Warriors and become twice as lethal. Needless to say, I was buying PGD packs like crazy and scouring the 10 cent bin at the local card shop. Soon I had a Gravekeeper deck and I was at the top of the world.

Unfortunately, this high didn’t last. I began to get bored with Gravekeepers and wanted to build Exodia. I decided to give it one last Tourney to test its worth.

This tourney had some misconduct going on, so I am not giving the name as to protect the store.

Round 1

First Duel: I got a great start. I played Terraforming, Necrovalley, and Magic Reflector, followed by a Facedown Spy and Royal Tribute, clearing 4 monsters. He didn’t draw a monster, so flipped Spy to summon Assailant, sacrificed Spy for Chief and revived Spy and attacked for 6100. Next turn he set 1 card and a monster, but I played MST and Nobleman to handle that. He chained Waboku, so I summoned Cannonholder and launched my field for the win.

Second Duel: Things went slowly at first. I didn’t get Necrovalley for a while. When I drew it, he activated Time Seal. At my next Draw Phase, I had forgotten about Time Seal and went to draw. He said, “I win.” I questioned him and he claimed that if Time Seal is activated and the opponent tries to draw, they’re disqualified. I argued that I had barely touched it, but he kept arguing, so I forfeited. It’s just a game, kid.

I was feeling pretty low and the Gravekeepers hadn’t served well enough, so I dumped ‘em.

I tried Exodia, but it never worked out. When I heard about the new bans and realized that Zombies would be rising, I went back to the Gravekeepers. In a tourney on 4/2/05, I tried again at a different store.

Books-A-Million

Price: $1

1st: 3 packs

2nd: 2 packs

3rd: 2 FREE COMMONS!!! And a hearty, “Try again next week, n00b.”

Round One

1st duel: I played a little kid, but he’s the son of a guy I know, and he’s pretty good. I got a terrible start. I didn’t draw a monster for 10 turns! He tried to play Monster Reborn when I had Necrovalley out, but I reminded him of the effect, then realized it was banned, but it turns out we were playing Traditional. I was quickly overwhelmed by banned cards after that.

2nd Duel: I got Necroflector (Necrovalley + Magic Reflector) out fast, but once again, failed to draw a monster. When I finally did, I overwhelmed the poor guy. He showed me his hand afterward. He had all 3 Chaos monsters and Monster Reborn and Resurrection.

3rd Duel: I really don’t remember much. The kid Yata-locked me.

It was a slow tourney, but I made some good trades afterward. I’m gonna work on my deck some more. I learned an important lesson, though. ALWAYS SHUFFLE THOROUGHLY!!! Especially in a Swarm deck. Bad shuffling cost me the game.

Props:

· Revival of the Gravekeepers

· Getting a United We Stand and another Fiber Jar

· Learning the flaws of my deck

Slops:

· Losing on Round 1

· My friends for not showing up (I brought my Pokémon deck for nothing)
