Tournament Report for July 2, 2011

Mario here.

It’s been too long since a tournament report has been posted on the blog. Anyway I participated in Locals this weekend playing Quickdraw Dandywarrior. Here are the results:

Round 1: vs Josh (T.G. Plants) 2-0

Game one I spammed the field with fluff tokens with Drill Warrior plays. He couldn’t break through my defense but I slowly crippled his.

Game two went back and forth a little but I eventually got the better of him after a couple Trishula plays.

Round 2: vs Nick (T.G. Plants) 2-1

Game one went back and forth but eventually I proceeded to win.

Game two my hand was terrible.

Game three his hand could’ve been better. I defeated him very quickly.

Round 3: vs Tom (Burn) 2-1

I was caught off-guard game one because I wasn’t expecting this match-up and every play I attempted was stopped by Royal Oppression and I slowly burnt to defeat.

Game two I wasted no time and exploded first turn before he could do anything. He did summon Lava Golem on his first time but I had enough to surpass his traps and deplete his life points before mine disappeared.

Game three again went back and forth but barely escaped and succeeded in defeating him with a couple of Trishulas.

Round 4: vs Dave (Six Samurai) 1-2

Game one was extremely close. He misplayed right at the beginning by negating my Tuning with Shi En and then I activated Dark Hole. He turned the game around slowly and pressed with enough damage to kill me. Also, Royal Oppression against me did not help.

Game two I exploded right away and won shortly after.

Game three he exploded turn one but I drew a number of cards because of Maxx C. I exploded however it was all over when he activated Double Edge Sword Technique.

I reached the Top 4 along with Dave, Jim (Blackwings) and Jon (Chaos Plants).

Game 5: vs Jim (Blackwings) 2-1

Game one he controlled me for a while but I broke free of his control and beat him down.

Game two I opened three Pot of Avarice which means I lose no matter what.

Game three was similar to game one and I was victorious

Game 6: vs Jon (Chaos Plants) 2-1

We did agree to split the store credit between 1st and 2nd since we share a collection. However we played it out regardless. All of the games were close, especially game three. I was forced to less than 2000 life points and I made a comeback resulting in my victory.

So technically I received 1st place and $35 store credit. Jon and I traded for our second Tour Guide of the Underworld. As well we traded a spare Reborn Tengu and a T.G. Warwolf for a Monster binder which we spent hours after the tournament organizing. All and all it was a good day!
