Tournament Report for July 16, 2011

I played in my locals this week with my Quickdraw Tengu Doppel Dandywarrior deck with differences in the main and side deck from last week. Here is what happened.

Round 1: vs Frank (Random Token Deck..) 2-1

Game one I was caught off guard and he had defense for all of my offences. I didn't get to synchro summon once and opening with 2 Tengu is not the best. Therefore I lost.
Game two I performed numerous synchro summons with Quickdraw and Debris Dragon on my second turn and I depleted over 9000 life points.
Game three I struggled to initiate momentum with my plays opening with 2 Reborn Tengu again. After a few turns I used a Pot of Avarice and shuffled in 2 Tengu and 3 other monsters I stalled the game with. Afterward I exploded by drawing One for One and a Dandylion with my 3rd Tengu on the field.

Round 2: vs Nick (T.G. Plants) 2-0

(This is the third Locals in a row I play this guy round 2...)

Game one he exploded immediately before I got to make a move and my opening hand wasn't nearly as good. Fortunately he does not have a Librarian or I might have lost. Anyway it took a while to break through his defense and when he had no back row I exploded enough to clear all his monsters.
Game two he drew a bad hand and I drew great. He conceded on his second or third turn.

Round 3: vs Jason (Fabled) 2-0

Game one we both opened with half-ass hands I think. I stopped his Morphing Jar that he desperately needed to get things going. Afterward he shortly ran out of plays and I always had a few moves every turn.
Game two I think he opened a little better but drawing both my Debunk in my opening hand did not help him. I stopped a big play at the beginning and then he had nothing to work with. I won shortly after.

Round 4: vs Jordan (Six Samurai) 2-0

Game one he couldn't release Shi En first turn because he only had spells and traps. Giant Trunade wins games.
Game two he did unleash Shi En right away but I used Puppet Plant on my first turn to take it, attack with it and synchro with it. Next turn he got out another Shi En and a Grandmaster and I won the turn after because I had a second Puppet Plant.

Once again I went undefeated and the Top 4 consisted of myself, Frank, Jordan and Dave (Vayu Turbo)

Round 5: vs Dave (Vayu Turbo) 2-1

Game one Delta Crow demolished all of my defense and then I lost shortly after.
Game two I drew enough of my sided cards to stop his plays and I managed to explode.
Game three is similar except I didn't perform any big explosions because I didn't have the cards to create enormous plays. Eventually the game became a top-decking war and I barely won the war. Reborn Tengu is good.

Round 6: vs Jordan (Six Samurai) 2-0

Game one of this match was similar to game one of our previous match with minor differences. I still won the same way.
Game two he drew half of his macro side cards (3 Dimensional Fissure and 3 Macro Cosmos) immdediately which killed any play I wanted to do. This was the longest game of the day because for so long we were both top decking. I got out a couple synchro monsters that were all negated or destroyed as the game progressed. I won the game with a Puppet Plant equipped with an Armory Arm. I don't think that combo has ever won a tournament...

I won the tournament and $30 store credit. I spent some of it on the new Exceed starter deck. I personally am unsure whether I'm going to play these new monsters competitively right now because Plants aren't letting me down. I received 1st place the last three Locals I have attended with the same type of deck with minor changes between weekends. Anyway next weekend I'm not playing next weekend because I'm attending a wedding so I have to continue my awesome record in two weeks.
