Tournament Report #1

So both of us went!
Only I played though because Mario was supposed to leave for 2:30 or whatever to teach tennis.
And then his only class got cancelled. At one. Locals start at twelve. Baha!

He's probably going to read this but oh well.
Baha!

Deck used -- Quickdraw Control
Monarchs
LaDD
Treeborn
Tytannial
Good build, pretty consistant.

Well
Round 1 -- Machina Starter Deck with other cards thrown in
oo

Games 1-2
Played a little kid with a 60 card deck.
I just beat him. But as NICELY as I could. Monster rushly.

Round 2 -- X-Sabers!!
xoo

Game 1
He kept pushing, managed to grab two or three cards from my hand with that big Level 9 guy.
I owned that card once. I cant remember what it's called.
Tried to Turbo Cannon it dead but he used oppression.
Couldn't come back after that and he had me.
Game 2
Set Ryko, set back row bottomless. Same as first move last game.
He double sets and throws that $80 recruiter down.
I draw, he uses mask of restrict, I ryko that, hit his face down with Cauis.
He draws crap, anything good I had a response for.
I won that one.
Game 3
He triple sets and I heavy.
I keep getting plusses off and he scoops.

Round 3 -- Frognarchs!
oxo

Game 1
This guy gets frustrated lol.
He's a friend of mine so I guess that saved me from a punch in the face.
But I open up Drill Warrior. Effectively making LaDD useless.
I also put a frog in the grave. He be maaad.
So I won that game. He couldnt get his fader out first turn but I used Turbo Cannon on it.
Game 2
I let him drop a Gorz with a 2400/2400 token, then he dropped another Monarch.
That was too much damage.
Game 3
Kept the pressure on. Frogs in my grave. Got crowed. Both treeborns in his grave got creviced and as soon as that happenned his game went way down hill. I never gave him a chance to Fader, so he never dropped a Monarch and I just dropped a Tytannial with a face down dandylion.

Round 4 -- GRAVEKEEPERS?! lol I got paired down but it was actually a terrible pairing for Drill Warrior.
xoo

Game 1
@#$%&* NECRO VALLEY!?
Game 2
TAKE AIUS YOU CRAP VALLEY!
Game 3
I got LaDD out and negated his crap with he just kept using. He pulled his worst moves out after LaDD hit the field.
He got it down to 1300, summoned a spear solder (no valley so at 1500) and then dropped a DaD! He just attacked into my LaDD with soldier. I summoned Dandy. He killed it with DaD then blew up the tokens in Main two.
He WAY over extended so he had zero in hand while I had six.
Dandy for Quickdraw, normal Frog --> Detroyer, 2600 direct.
He couldn't recover. But top-decked a torrential when I tried to Caius that last 800. Still won though.

Top 4!
So, I really wanted to play, see if I could take that 1st place because all I do is split when I hit top 2 because I get TIRED! (>.<)
But we split four ways. There were 20 players alone! It was hot!
I was sweaty and tired!
And if I wanted to play, Id force the other three to play and I would've just felt guilty.
So $23 credit. Got gold three. Icarus and Armor Master. Frigging Mezuki. Bah that card.
But traded the Icarus and Amor Master for Charge and Recharge x2. Worth it?

I'll probably put a deck list in the next post.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So ideas!
Synchro Sworn with tuners that like the grave? But still using Quickdraw?
I'd like to run it, but Im finding the monster count to be WAY up there. 30. Thats a bit much.
Id like to have at the most 25-26.

Amarryllis burn.
Seed Cannon
Spiritual Fire Art
Ceasfire
BIG DAMAGE.
Only a fun deck though. Not much field pressence with a 2200/0 Monster.
Trade-In bait though. Draw POWAH.

Koaki Meiru?
Still seems like a really awkward deck.
LOTS of negs.

NATURIA!
PERFECT LOCKDOWN!
I hope it comes to Canada.
That and Trishula.
Watched the self touch session with Baha?! 5 Trishulas in one turn! ONE!
I for one thought that was pretty damn sexy.

dragunity looks cool too...

oh! Vayu Turbo with Quickdraw?
Rykos and Quickdraw put your vayus in the grave fast!
Yes? Get over that intial -1 of the Drill with an Armor Master!

Big post.
Thanks for toughin' this one out!
