I originally was planning to not attend this week's Locals because of university orientation. However I decided at the last minute to return to Belleville to play my Quickdraw Tengu Doppel Dandywarrior build with multiple changes from last week... the biggest change being Tech Genus Hyper Librarian!!!!
Round 1: vs Jason (Fabled) 2-1
Game one I performed Librarian plays and he could not overcome the advantage I gained.
Game two I struggled because my opening hand was a little bit horrible and he had Honest to defend him. Game three I think he opened bad and I broke through the little defense he had claiming victory.
Round 2: vs Nick (T.G. Plants) 2-0
Game one he used Bottomless Trap Hole on my Librarian and after a little bit of struggling I defeated him. Game two I owned him with Librarian and he had nothing on me afterward.
Round 3: vs Bobby aka irritating bastard (X-Sabers) 2-0
This was the kid I mentioned in yesterday's post. He borrowed the entire X-Saber deck and i was upset that I had to play with him. Nonetheless I had an enjoyable experience crushing him.
Game one I dealt 10400 damage on my second turn. I used 2 Upstart Goblins on my first turn. I knew the Upstart Goblins weren't that harmful.
Game two took a little longer to overwhelm him but I stole one of his X-Saber synchros with Puppet Plant and gained great advantage with numerous plays without Librarian. A couple turns later I destroyed him. Unfortunately I couldn't send him to the Shadow Realm...
Round 4: vs Ryan (Burn) 2-0
Game one he went first and set a bunch of cards. On my turn I used Giant Trunade and exploded thanks to Librarian. I defeated him immediately.
Game two he was imposing pressure on me and I was struggling to break through Wabokus, Thunder of Ruler, Level Limit Area B and Wave-Motion Cannon. I slowly gained advantage with Librarian and eventually I broke through all his defenses before he burned me to defeat.
I went undefeated into the top four. Other members include Ryan, Jordan (Six Samurai) and Bobby.... (shame)
Round 5: vs Jordan (Six Samurai)
Game one he didn't open with a playable monster. The usefulness of Reborn Tengu and Armory Arm won me the first game.
Game two he opened somewhat better. Nonetheless he faced the powers of my Librarian and I gained too much advantage for him to properly respond.
I was supposed to play Ryan in the finals but he had to go so we agreed to split and we both won $30 store credit. In conclusion being the only player with Librarian in Belleville turned out to be amazing. I made the card and my deck with its unusual tech choices shine (triple Upstart Goblin and triple Dust Tornado). Afterward I played some Pokemon TCG (I'm just starting to get into it) and played and defeated some very good decks which is always positive. The game is definitely different than Yu-Gi-Oh and eventually I will share my opinions and observable differences between the two cards games. I have not yet decided whether I will be attending Nationals or not. I have to choose quickly because I'm required to decide in only a few days. Unfortunately my birthday is right before Nationals so that may interfere with any extraordianry faraway card trips...
