It’s been a while since I’ve been in the tournament scene. I took a break from YGO to go into Magic, but I suck at that game, so I’m back.

There you have it. Almost a CC Warrior Toolbox, but I tried for a bit of originality. Unfortunately, I’m low on a lot of good cards, such as Don and another Smash. I can deal for now though. This set up is interesting as well, because first, the Cybernetic Magician is sometimes useful. Throw out some goats then summon it, discard your hand, OTK. But, I never actually got to use it. Also, The King Tiger Wanghu in my side deck is godly. Seriously, at least in my area’s meta, it kills Reapers, MSLV2, Exiled, Tsuku and Marauding Captain, which is used a bit more than I would’ve thought. Anyway, first round came up soon after I turned in my deck list.



Round 1 (me vs. Sean)



Sean was actually someone’s dad who entered the tournament with his kids. He was running a Dragon deck with major Horus support (LV 4, Servants, the whole nine yards). It starts off a little slow, we each get some stuff down and so on. I get Breaker out and Mobius, crushing his face downs (Brain Control and Burial?) I get some hits in with LV 2 and then level it up to LV 4. At some point, I snatch his monster and get out a Cyber Dragon. From there on I beat him with MS and the dragon.

Game one: Me: 8000

Sean: 8000- 5100- 2700- 0



Second game, we start out slow, I get LV 4 out, which surprisingly does quite well in this deck, and he Brain Controls it, attacking me with it and a LV 4 Horus. I take the swordsman back and bring out a Blade Knight. I take out a defense and lv 4 does 1900. After that, Sean goes on defense. I take it out with a Nobleman, then take him down to 2600. He doesn’t have anything else good, but he does manage to Premature a Horus back before I took him out with a Spirit Reaper.



Game two; Me: 8000- 4500

Sean: 8000-6100-2600-1800-0





The round went rather quickly, so I had time to go walk around and check out some other games. Then, round two came around.





Round 2 (me vs. Eric)



This guy had a raw Earth Warrior deck. I wasn’t sure what to make of it at first, but during the second game, a few quick sideboards and I started to get it. Basically, he slaps me with a Sangan, then a Giant Rat, then another rat, then another, then snatches my Jinzo and finishes me. Game one, Eric.

Game one: Me: 8000- 7000- 5600- 4200- 2800- 2000- 1700- 0

Eric: 8000


Second game, I side in a Kinetic, Wanghu, and Decree, to deal with his removal traps. Unfortunately, there wasn’t much I could do about it anyway. I got the worst hand: Premature, Jinzo, Storm, Vortex, and Creature Swap. Luckily, I was able to make due with a Vortex and premature combo, got Jinzo out and he Cyber Jars it. I get nothing again, he beats on me with a wildheart, some rats, and his own Jinzo. I got a Cyber Dragon out, but he just snatched it and took me out. I looked at his deck after the round. It was amazing. Earth Arts and Wildhearts and DDAs. Good original stuff.



Game two: Me: 8000- 6500- 2700- 1700- 0

Eric: 8000- 7200 (P Burial)





This round finished fast and I was 1 and 1. I was ready to play again. I really wanted to at least win two more rounds, cause that would have been better than I have ever done in a large tournament. So, Round three.





Round 3 (me vs. Michael)



This guy played a pure warrior deck. Rather interesting, even with GAF and Command Knight. Some good support too. Marauding Captain to name one. Anyway, first game, not much I could do. His goblin tore through me once, then I LV 2’d him directly and he used goblin again. Game.



Game one: Me: 8000- 5700- 4900- 3900- 1900- 0

Michael: 8000- 7100



I sided in Wang and Kinetic as well as a Reinforcement. Next game, he got nothing. I was able to counter everything he tried and left him useless against Wanghu (blocked his captains and command knights) and blade knight. Game. 1 and 1 now.

Game two: Me: 8000

Michael: 8000- 4700- 0



Third game, we got some hits against each other. I hit him with Cyber Dragon and LV 2 for 3000. I hit him again with a Jinzo and dragon. He then takes out a huge chunk with a combo of Command Knight, Marauding Captain, and the A. Forces. Didn’t take out my Jinzo though, which cost him. I cleared his A forces with a storm then ate up his lifepoints with Jinzo. Nice game. Original Deck. I’m happy.

Game three: Me: 8000- 7100- 6900- 4800- 2900

Michael: 8000- 5000- 500- 0



Round 3 was over, I went and bought an Exarion Universe tin cause I have Trample deck ideas. Got crap in the packs though. Ectoplasmer and Ultimate Machine Duplication. Woo hoo… Anyway, I’m 2 and 1 now, and the fourth round is up.





Round 4 (me vs. Chris)



Ok. Let me start this one off by saying that this guy gave me the most incredible duel I have ever had. Ever. And he was so cool about everything too. It just made me a lot calmer. He was playing a VWXYZ deck. I never thought it would work, but was I wrong. First game, it went back and forth forever. I hit him with a blade knight, he hits with a Z cannon, I hit him with Jinzo, he hits Jinzo with Freed, I hit him with DDA and a dragon. First game done. I side in some things to deal with the Dimension Fusions, or at least try.



Game one: Me: 8000-6500-5700-4700-3000

Chris: 8000- 6000-3600-1600-0



Game two was incredible. I’m kicking myself because I forgot to take notes. I do remember he removed a lot of my stuff, I removed a lot of his stuff, then as the lifepoints dwindled, he dimension fusions v, w, x, y and z all in one go. I torrential luckily. He still brings out XY and Jinzo and finishes me. Most incredible duel I’ve had. It was just so neck and neck the whole time, and I was able to try some interesting stuff, like Wanghu again. Great game. I was even able to book of moon Jinzo face down so I could Torrential Tribute it.



Game two: Me: 8000-7000-6200-5600-5100-1100-0

Chris: 8000-6000-4400-4300-2300-1150



Game three was extremely quick. The guy must have had all his stuff clumped together from the last game, cause he didn’t draw anything useful. The only damage I took was from a Confiscation I used. Got rid of his Vortex too. Anyway, I hit him with Blade Knight, Breaker, Jinzo, and Mobius. Game.



Game three: Me:8000-7000

Chris: 8000-4800-0



Round 4 was amazing as I said. I had no idea a VWXYZ deck would even work that well. I might even want to work on one myself if the set wasn’t so expensive. Anyway, round five came up, I looked at my table and I knew I was screwed.



Round 5 (me vs. Jimmy)

Jimmy is about 8 years old and he got 4th in the last regionals. It also didn’t help that both games I got screwed with my hand. So yeah, I didn’t even bother taking notes.

Game one: me: 8000-3300-1800-0

Jimmy: 8000-4800-4100

Game two: Me: 8000-7000-6500-5700-3600-1800-0

Jimbo: 8000-7800



Well, now I was 3 and 2. My best record so far. I was already happy, but I wanted to see if I could go 4 and 2. So, Round 6.



Round 6 (me vs. Adam)

Adam was a really cool kid. He was the top qualifier, and he was playing a draw machine deck with metamorphosis. First game, I thought I was screwed. He started off breaking a Saku, then morphs the breaker into a Darkfire Dragon. I’m not sure how many good level 4 fusions there are, so I’m not going to say anything about his choice. He hits me a bit, I hit him, he clears my field with a Mobius. I have 1000 points left, he attacks… Cyber Jar. He had only 5 cards left in his deck, no monsters, so I just ended and decked him. Great duel, although it felt cheap winning by mil. Oh well.

Game one: Me: 8000-6200-2500-1400-1000

Adam: 8000-7200-8200-9700-6200-Decked



I forgot to sideboard anything, so I was stuck without a very much useful Royal Decree for this second game. We go on, I don’t think Adam drew anything good. I kept hitting him with some small stuff, whittling him down to 2400 and I had a Mobius. I was about to attack when I thought for a second. That kid Jimmy had been saying the entire game that Adam had to win for all of his friends (like 3 guys and him) to get into top 8. I guess it had something to do with tiebreakers. I asked him if he really needed to win to get his friends in, he said he wasn’t sure, but I decided to scoop to him. I would’ve won, but I knew I couldn’t make top 8, so I just let him have it. He was cool about it too. He even gave me his prize packs after he lost in top 8. I didn’t even really want them. But, free cards are free cards.

Game two: Me: 8000-6500-7500-7000-drop

Adam: 8000- 6000-4400-3600-4600-3500-2400



After the final round, I hung out with Adam and his posse. They were all really cool. I even dueled Adam again because no one thought he could’ve lost, and of course... He got everything he needed and I got nothing. He crushed me 2-0. I couldn’t have expected to win twice off of a fluke anyway. After everything was done, I was able to trade for another Reaper and I got an Airknight Parshath in my Tournament Packs. It was only later that I realized I made 12th and my tiebreakers were better than the 8th place, 7th place, and 6th place guys. If I hadn’t dropped that last game, I would’ve gotten 6th place and got in the top 8. I know that I would’ve been crushed though. The guy who got second used a zombie deck and the guy who got first had a toolbox, but with gravekeeper’s spy and deikoichi. Oh well, I still got the prize packs. I was also to get a bunch of free tournament pack cards from the guys who didn’t want them. It was all cool in the end.





Props: Awesome Duels

Original Decks (that was the one biggest reason I left YGO the first time)

Second Spirit Reaper

A bunch of free cards

Adam and Chris for being awesome guys and giving me the best games of my life.

My deck actually doing good, despite the fact I thought I would get crushed by Dons and DDAs. No one used a Don on me all day.

Breaking my last tournament record and even almost making top 8.

Getting 12th, the best I’ve ever done.

King Tiger Wanghu!!!



Slops: No one wants to trade a Don…

Jimmy was loud and obnoxious the entire time. I hate it when skill goes to peoples heads.

DreamWizards stupid trading policy. We weren’t aloud to trade the entire tournament!

Elemental Energy for giving me the worst luck out of any set.

Sillva. I got 2 in 5 packs. Now I have 5!





Yup. Great time. I hope to get back next week, maybe even with a Don or another DDA. That would be nice. I might even run something a little more original. Beast trample and swarm? Chaos? Mokey Mokey Smackdown? You bet.
