On this Christmas Eve I decided to go to Locals because I had nothing better to do. The tournament consisted of 9 players: 4 were good players, 3 were ok players and the other 2 were noobs. I decided to play Dark Worlds because I wanted to playtest my build. Also, I already knew I would reach the top 4 regardless of what I played. Anyway, onto the report:
Round 1 I got a bye... woot....
Round 2 vs T.G Synchro (2-0)
This player was one of the good ones.
Game 1: I started off by controlling his hand with Dustshoot and Mind Crush. I had a somewhat slow start but when I drew my first discard outlet (Dark World Dealings) my deck took off from there. A few turns later I was forced to stall because he performed many synchro summons and eliminated my Gate, along with my other cards. When that happened I summoned a Zenmaines with Tour Guide and Broww. He stalled for two turns and that's when I drew the Monster Reborn for game.
Game 2: I sided into the following: 3 Fossil Dyna, 3 Jujistu Master, 1 Grand Mole, 1 Dark Fusion and 1 Dark Calling. It was effective for that duel. I summoned an Evil Hero Dark Gaia that inflicted 3900 damage on the turn it was summoned. He summoned Cyber Dragon and attacked it using Shrink on Dark Gaia. Next turn I set Fossil Dyna. He went and synchro summoned a little more, then all his monsters died when he attacked into my Fossil Dyna. On my turn I summoned Grapha and used Deck Devastation Virus which killed most of his cards, and those that he drew. He couldn't recover so I beat him down with Grapha and won.
Round 3 vs Newbie Six Samurai (2-0)
I obviously won, but something funny happened that I will share. He was stalling for a while and I didn't have a discard outlet so I attempted to use Mind Crush to discard one of my own monsters. I called The Winged Dragon of Ra, and he had it...
Top 4 was after this round and consisted of myself, along with the other 3 good players. There was no point in splitting because the credit wasn't high enough to split beneficially...
Round 4 vs X-Sabers (2-1)
Game 1: I blew up his only monster with Kahkki, Guerilla of Dark World (Destroys a monster when discarded) and I blew up his only defensive trap with Grapha. I summoned Grapha and beat him down after 3 turns of not drawing a monster or a defensive card.
Game 2: I only drew one discard outlet the entire game. I stalled and went offensive for a bit with Number 17: Leviathan Dragon, but it wasn't enough.
Game 3: was very close. He used all his cards to establish a field of Naturia Barkion, XX-Saber Hyunlei and Number 39: Utopia. He ruined most of my field with those monsters. Fortunately he couldn't kill me and he used all his spells and traps. The next turn I discarded a Grapha with Dark World Dealings and blew up his Utopia. I discarded another one and destroyed Barkion. I was able to summon one Grapha and I attacked Hyunlei. He drew and set Enemy Controller. I drew Pot of Duality and I picked and set Torrential Tribute. I attacked with Grapha and set Beige. He drew Effect Veiler and tributed it with Controller to take Grapha and attack my Beige. Next turn I summoned another Grapha and won.
Round 5 vs Macro (2-1)
Game 1: My opening hand sucked (2 Maxx "C", 2 Dragged Down to the Grave, Beige and Eradicator Epidemic Virus. Every turn he summoned a D.D. Survivor and he had Macro Cosmos. I had no answers to anything.
Game 2: I opened with Trap Dustshoot and set it, along with a Beige. Again I opened no discard outlets. He draws and I return Blackwing - Gale to his deck (the rest of his hand was D.D. Survivor, Injection Fairy Lily, Cyber Dragon, Solemn Judgment and Book of Moon). He summoned Cyber Dragon and Fairy Lily, attacked with them, and set his Solemn and Book. I drew a discard outlet and with Snoww in my hand already, I drew everyhting I needed to destroy his whole field that turn and he scooped.
Game 3: It was a slow game but I remained in control for the most part. I had MSTs for all of his Macro Cosmos and Dimensional Fissures and I beat him down with Grapha. Tour Guide also helped get me started .(On my first turn I made Leviathan Dragon with Tour Guide and Broww. I detached Broww and that made my Gate usable.)
So I won with Dark World and I received $20 store credit.
