Tournament Report 12/03/11

*Forgive any errors with my English. I had to type this as fast as possible.

I was forutnate enough to go to my locals today. I decided to use T.G. Zombies. The deck really interested me and I liked the hands I was drawing with it. Anyway, here's what happened:

Round 1 vs Lightsworn (2-1)

Game 1 I was able to swarm him before he summoned any of his Judgment Dragons. It was a very fast game. Game 2 I lost to triple Wulf being milled... Game 3 we went back and forth until he summoned 3 dragons in one turn. I had Maxx "C" so I drew a few extra cards. I used Bottomless Trap Hole on the first one because for some reason he didn't try and explode. He summoned another one and I had to use Torrential Tribute. He used Monster Reincarnation to get it back and summoned it again. He attacked me bringing me down to 300 life points. On my turn I summoned Plaguespreader Zombie and I played Creature Swap. He lost.

Round 2 vs Dark Worlds (0-2)

I lost both games because of the usual Dark World plays. Game 1 I faced multiple Graphas and Mind Control doesn't do much against them. Game 2 he say my hand with Mind Crush so he played around everything I had. He used Solemn Warning on my Orient Dragon, then on my T.G. Wonder Magician. Finally, he had Solemn Judgment for my Gorz. Nothing I could've done.

Round 3 vs Newbie Chaos (2-0)

This is what happens when you lose a round... you play bad players... Well I did anyway. Trishula smashed him both games.

Round 4 vs Fabled (2-0)

Both games he exploded but I drew a lot of cards with Maxx "C". I won the turn after he exploded both times. After the match I found out that there is an infinite loop with Brionac and 2 Fabled Cerburrel. Luckily or me he didn't pull it off or I would've lost.

So with a 3-1 record I advance to the Top 4. The Fabled player I beat topped, a Six Samurai player topped and a different Lightsworn player topped.

Round 5 vs Lightsworn (2-0)

Game 1 he made a misplay which cost him the game. He summoned 2 Judgment Dragons at once and I had the Torrential. If he didn't do that I might not have won. Anyway he managed to summon another Judgment Dragon later and he payed 3000 life points to kill my Wind-Up Zenmaines. On my next turn I stole with Creature Swap and won.
Game 2 I attacked into an Honest early on which was a little annoying. I can't remember how the game exactly went though. All I know is that I played Creature Swap and won that turn. It seems Creature Swap is super effective against Lightsworns.

Round 6 Fabled (2-1)

It is the same Fabled player as before and I beat him again. I will try and upload the match on Youtube, if I can get the actual recording (I wasn't the one recording it).

So despite losing to Dark Worlds I still came in first. I'm happy that I won with a deck that isn't exactly popular, unlike Plant Synchro. Next week my university exams start and I have to get 100% on them so next week I may not be playing. However we'll see what happens.
