Batteryman AA deck_The Lost Millenium Sneak Preview Tourney_Card Heaven_Windsor


I don't remember seeing too many sneak preview tourney reports before, so I decided to write up a Sneak Preview tourney report.
Before I go on I have to point out an "illegal move" that i performed in my last tourney report. After a Creature Swap is activated, and if you choose to swap a Horus LV6, then horus LV6 is swapped. I didn't kno this so I got an unfair advantage illegally. This occured in my last tourney report back in March.
I woke up too late to arrive early enough to get the Amazon Chain(something something...). Oh well. Once we get seated and recieve our 5 packs we get the go ahead to start constucting a deck with minimum limit of 20 cards. For 2 Sneak Preview tourneys in a row, I did not draw a tribute monster (ie, Flaming Eternity and The Lost Millenium).

I pulled out a BRAIN CONTROL! yay! In the end, my deck becomes a Batteryman AA deck.
After constructing my deck I put the cards into card sleeves I recieved at the Australian National Tournament on 1st of April (it came in a Deck Protector box).

About the Nationals, I thought somebody would have posted up a tourney report about it, but since nobody posted one up, I'll just give you a summary. First of all we have to congratulate Stewart Brimes from Adelaide, (representing the Battlezone Gaming store) for becoming the Australian Yu-Gi-Oh Champion. Sorry to the others top 8 but I can't remember all your names (except for Will, who I know from the local tourneys here) 7 of the 8 National finalist were running Chaos Decks, Will, the outcast of the top 8, was running a Soul Exchange Monarch deck. Another suprise of the top 8 was a Stall Chaos deck. Yes, you would be suprised too if you saw a BLS in his hand and a F/U Gravity Bind and a F/D Scapegoat. Unfortunately he lost by the skin of his teeth in the Semi's after time was called. This is how it ended in the 3rd duel:


Stall Chaos guy had
- atk pos Breaker on 1600 and F/D monster - F/D Gravity Bind and Scapegoat

Chaos guy had
- drawed a Heavy Storm (vital draw indeed) - had BLS in hand and another card - took a long time to think. - Chaos guy activate Heavy Storm - remove light and dark and Spec. Summ BLS and atk'd Stall Chaos guy's Breaker. - Chaos guy wins on "time called" by 200LP


Now onto the sneak preview, heres the deck i constructed

-|1st rnd|-
this guy couldnt find his deck ne where and first thoughts were it was stolen. but a good willed person found it and handed it to the store owners incase somebody was looking for it.
I won both duels in quick succession.



-|2nd rnd|-

duel 1
stalled me with Lone Wolf(trap that doesn't allow monk fighter to be destroyed by battle) and Monk Fighter(monster all battle damage to this mon is reduced to zero)
Pikeru's Second Sight allowed me to see her draw an Amazon chainmaster and then she set it f/d. i set all my magic cards so that when i destroyed it she couldnt activate its effect to get ne thing from me
almost decked out, final card was "brain control"
took control of "master monk"(souped up version of monk fighter) & "Gift of the Martyr" to pump up "Batteryman AA" and atk for game.

duel 2
time was called within 2 or 3 turns. She needed to bring me down to 0LP to go onto 3rd duel. she managed to take down my LP lower than hers but since she did not bring me down to 0LP or won a previous duel, i won the round.



-|3rd rnd|-

duel1
loss
couldn't bring out my battermen out b4 losing all my LP.

duel 2
crucial move - had f/d elemental hero clayman, he already knows about my medusa worm coz i used it's effect to destroy his mon b4, decided to activate shifting shadows (only time ever used in entire tourney) pay 300 and pretended to rearrange em to diff mon fields, on his turn he attacked elemental hero instead of my medusa worm, he couldn't believe it.
batteryman won it
time called just b4 duel 3

duel 3
he had advantage of goin 1st
didnt draw ne strong monsters, he won on his 2nd turn



-|4th rnd|-
had him on the back foot in both duels with powerful monsters



-|5th rnd|-

he was boasting about himself saying that he's storming back to the higher ranking table numbers after being bumped to the lower ranking table numbers after a 1st round loss. i thought to myself that he was a bit cocky but won't underestimate him.

duel 1
total domination with dd survivor
he topdecks ancient gear wolf or something when he needed a strong def or atk 4star monster

duel 2
set 1 monster. for some reason did not atk f/d "batteryman AA" card coz he was "afraid of my f/d spell/trap cards" o well, w/ experience, he'll learn that UDE won't be in a hurry to release another sakuretsu armor or mirror force.
i summoned another "battery man" and flip summoned my other "batteryman AA" destroyed his f/d monster and then atk his LP directly for 2000.
my next turn summon another batteryman and atk for a total of 6000 and win, this duel was over in just 3 moves

i have to admit i was expecting more from the final round


ended up 15th out of 84-85 duelist
got 3 packs as a prize and a tp5 for not being the 1st 55 to recieve an amazon chainmaster(something something...). i have to admit it has a nice effect with a steep cost. imagine if opponent has BLS in his/her hand, a possible 2 BLS on ur side =D
only 1 or 2 persons in the whole store pulled out an Ancient Gear Golem. one kid sold his to my friend for $22 and then pretty much straight away selling it off to another person for $50, $28 profit :p


props
-pulled out an ultimate rare blackbelt of something something and then trading it off at the end of the day
-getting a BRAIN CONTROL
-there are still good people out there who aren't greedy.

slops
-not being able to come early enough to get the promo card
-not winning the 3rd round. like anyone if we lose, we all rather lose in the final round than in the earlier rounds.
