It has been forever since I have been able to attend any Yu-Gi-Oh tournament. It was a really productive day. I started it by getting Wind-Up Zemaines which is really cool; it put in a lot of work today. On top of that I did some productive trading as well. So without further ado, my statistics for today. I played Tour Guide Tengu Plants. It was a 5-round tournament followed by top 4 with 21 players.
Round 1 vs Vanity Zombies (2-1)
Game 1 - I lost game 1 because he summoned Vanity Fiend and I didn't have an out.
Game 2 - This was the longest out of our 3 games. He pulled a couple of actual zombie plays and I had responses to them. He activated Trap Dustshoot at one point mid-game. Fortunately, my hand wasn't great and it didn't really matter what he returned. I eventually won somehow.
Game 3 - He went first and didn't do anything astonishing. On my first turn I set Dustshoot and flipped it on his turn to return a Vanity Fiend (the other monsters in his hand were Zombie Master and another Fiend). He didn't have any responses to the majority of my plays and I won using a bunch of limited cards with plants.
Round 2 vs Pure Zombies (2-0)
Game 1 - He set Pyramid Turtle and ended. I summoned Thunder King and killed it and he summoned Endless Decay. It had 4000 attack... Anyway I used Enemy Controller to attack him with his own Endless Decay. On his turn he attacked me directly with a Zombie Master (after summoning the turtle in defense) and then with Endless Decay. I followed with Gorz and got a 4000 token. Needless to say I won a turn or two later.
Game 2 - He went first and pulled a first turn Dustshoot to return a Tour Guide to my deck (the other cards were Foolish Burial, MST, Thunder King and 2 Veilers). I summoned the Thunder King and attack a turtle and he summoned another one. He found a way to get rid of my Thunder King and next turn I drew Spirit Reaper. Many turns passed and we kept building cards in our hand and field (primarily Back-row) because he couldn't remove the Reaper and I had no other plays. I eventually did a Tour Guide play and he used Torrential to clear the field. We both exchanged plays for a little bit. I eventually summoned Zenmaines and it became a threat to him. He had to summon a Veiler and use Creature Swap but my Book of Moon flipped Zenmaines face-down so I kept the Veiler. I won a turn or two later by exploding with some Synchro monsters and BLS.
Round 3 vs Random Burn Control... (2-0)
Game 1 - He started by summoning Kycoo, which was random, and many back-row cards. I stalled for a few turns with Debris Dragon. Eventually I had enough cards to push through all his many traps and then I exploded. He did almost reduce all my life points through effect damage.
Game 2 - Kinda the same as game 1. This time though it ended because I summoned Black Rose on one turn, Trishula the next turn, and the Scrap Dragon a turn after. I reduced him to having almost nothing in his hand and field with my synchro monsters and I won.
Round 4 - Chaos Agents (2-0)
Game 1 - He started by setting Reaper and a trap. I used Mind Control to take the Reaper, summoned Dandylion and exceed summoned Zenmaines. Unfortunately he countered with Warning. He didn't seem to draw much and eventually I won by over-extending when he had nothing.
Game 2 - He had advantage over me for most of the game and had a response for every one of my plays. Eventually he managed to bring me to 100 life points and wiped out my field. At this point I won the "Sack Award" for the week when I topdecked BLS and won. I really hated winning that way but I guess that's how it happens. I've lost to topdecked BLS quite a few times this format and I haven't even played much because of school.
Round 5 vs Chaos Agents (2-1)
Game 1 - It was a really fast game. I went first (finally), summoned Tengu and set MST. My opponent set a card and passed, which was destroyed by my MST. I summoned Thunder King and attacked with Tengu. He summoned Tragoedia and I stole with a controller, tributing a Tengu. I attacked with all my monsters, made Utopia with his Tragoedia and he scooped.
Game 2 - It was a really close game but ion the end he beat me with double Hyperion.
Game 3 - This game I managed to use Chain Disappearance to remove all of his balls. I won shortly after by summoning Zenmaines. He used most of his resources to eliminate it and then he had nothing to combat with aggressive assault of synchro monsters.
Top 4 consisted of me, the Agent player I just beat, a Lightsworn deck and a Six Samurai deck. We agreed to split the Top 4, which was fine. I was supposed to play the Six Samurai player and we decided to play anyway. I beat him 2-0. I ruined him game 1 with a first turn Dustshoot and then I used Torrential on his Elder and Kagemusha. He was out of plays after that. Game 2 he immediately summoned Naturia Landoise and Barkion. I went and used Mind Control on his Landoise, summoned Spore, made a Scrap Dragon and destroy his Barkion. He used Dark Hole to destroy my Scrap Dragon but I had Monster Reborn to bring it back, and he had no answers for it.
So I went undefeated today, which is cool. I was really impressed with Zenmaines and I'm happy I picked it up on the shelf at the store before someone else did. There is regionals next weekend in Toronto. I will try and go to that because I'm pretty sure I can do well. I am unsure though at this point if I can go or not. Anyway, I will try and upload some videos this week because it's been a while since I have.
