Tournament Report 12/31/11

Happy new year! I decided to participate in my last Locals of the year 2011. There were 14 players todays and a good amount of them had skills. I decided to play my favorite deck, Plant Synchro, to celebrate the closing tournament of 2011.

Round 1 vs Newbie Six Samurai (2-0)

He didn't know how to properly summon the bigger monsters of the archtype...

Round 2 vs Worms (2-0)

1 - The game started off quite slow. I had a Gorz and a Spore in my hand, along with a bunch of insignificant spells. After a few turs of drawing and setting cards I start to make a move, then he did, and the process repeated. It seemed we had an answer for everything we threw at each other until I got to the point where I overwhelmed my opponent.
2 - This game concluded quickly. He drew useless traps and too few monsters to deal with my monsters.

Round 3 vs Chaos Agents (2-1)

1 - I controlled him with multiple Thunder Kings and a few traps.
2 - I was unable to special summon because of an early Kristya which I had no answers to the entire match.
3 - The game went back and forth. He had control for most of the duel and I hung on and was able to drop a Gorz on his Hyperion with 800 life points left. Next turn I played Leeching the Light and I obviously won.

Round 4 vs Plant Synchro (2-1)

This match will eventually be posted on Youtube. Look forward to it because it was a great match.

Top 4 consisted of myself, the above Plant Synchro and Agent players, and a Mystic Piper deck.

Round 5 vs Mystic Piper (2-1)

This match will also be posted on Youtube. I misplayed horribly game 2 and I lost it because of my stupidity. However I made it up for it game 3.

Round 6 vs Plant Synchro (2-0)

1 - I was in control of the game for the most part, although we were going back and forth quite a bit. Eventually I was able to summon too many monsters and I won.
2 - It was a really balanced game until my opponent got really unlucky. He milled a Tengu with Glow-Up Bulb why he had a Tengu on the field. He also drew into his Dandylion when he needed it in the deck to mill it with Foolish Burial. However I enjoyed both the matches that I had with him today.

I came first and received $25 store credit. I'm tired so this report is a little brief and quickly typed. It was a very enjoyable tournament and I wish more tournaments more like that. Additionally, going undefeated the final tournament of the year is pretty impressive.
