Today I’m finally getting around to writing my tournament
report for the weekend, since this weekend I was really busy…
I decided to play Wind-Ups because I may take this deck to Regionals
this weekend. I like the deck’ random explosiveness, but it still requires some
skill to play properly, unlike other decks…
Also, I had kept a record of life points for the tournament,
and was going to use it to better outline what happened. However, I cannot find
it and I’m too lazy to commit to a thorough search…
Round 1 vs Gladiator Beasts
1 – I exploded quite early. He held me back for a few turns,
but I won rather quickly.
2 – This game was long. I drew all the traps in my deck,
minus 1 Royal Decree. Since he summoned a Darius first turn, my Warnings didn’t
help. I took a lot of his damaged, then used Warning when he finally decided to
tag. I also activated a Warning somewhere else. All I remember is that I
believe Gyzarus destroyed 1 Decree, but I activated the other one. I eventually
drew Shark, which enabled a slight explosion, but he had the Dark Hole, and
attacked for game.
3 – This game was really quick and I won by exploding fairly
early on.
2-1
Round 2 vs Wind-Ups
1 – For the most part this game was Thunder King beat-down. I
had traps to stop his plays and I kept Thunder King. When I was low on traps, I
had to explode so I didn’t risk losing. He didn’t know I was playing Wind-Ups,
and I wanted to keep it a surprise… I exploded with Magician and Shark.
2 – He summoned Wind-Up soldier (I think) and ended. I
opened with Tour Guide, Shark and Salvage. I FTK’ed him.
2-0
Round 3 vs Heroes
1 – He didn’t have too many traps, so I won fairly easily.
For the most part it was Wind-Up Rabbit beat-down since I didn’t open anything
else useful.
2 – This game was really close. He had a trap for all of my
plays, which was slightly annoying. It got to a point where I had complete
control and I was going to win next turn… but… he pulled a “Rori” (we joked
about this all day afterward) and top-decked Miracle Fusion to put himself in a
winning position.The only other card he could’ve topdecked was Stratos. He drew
that next turn…
3 – I opened with Magician and Shark, and I made Zenmaity,
Papilloperative and Shock Master (declaring Spells)… I won really quickly.
2-1
Round 4 vs Six Samurai (Raymond)
1 – I finally played Raymond, after him being gone all
summer. We opened pretty poorly, but he opened double Kizan with traps, and
Kizans are stronger than my monsters so I lost.
2 – I opened with Magician and Shark, and, again made
Zenmaity, Papilloperative and Shock Master (declaring spells). He set a bunch
of back-row and ended. I lock traps turn 2, and then win that turn.
3 – Game 3 was really long and really close. We both got to
a point where we both weren’t drawing monsters, so we set every trap we drew. 2
of his traps were Macro Cosmos and Vanity’s Emptyness (he main-decks 2 of each,
we just never side against each other). He made an Elder and Asceticism play,
backed with Starlight Road,
Musakani Magatama, and Safe Zone. He made a Shi En, and there was nothing I
could do, so I lost to lockdown.
1-2
So I’m not terribly impressed I lost, but whatever, it
happens. I can still come first, or split for first and second, and have my 22nd
victory in a row. Anyway, the top 4 was myself, Raymond, Rori (playing Dark
Worlds) and Lightsworn. And this is what happened…
Round 5 vs Dark Worlds
1 – I destroyed him very early on. I beat him down with
Thunder King and Wind-Up Rabbit.
2 – I don’t remember how it happened, but I won this game
very quickly as well.
Raymond won and didn’t care about splitting, so we split for
first and second, keeping my record going. When Raymond and I battle, you
really never know what could happen next.
After the tournament, I traded with some people and swapped
some cards with Raymond. I played against Rori’s Dark Worlds with Heroes and
Lightraysworns for his benefit. Raymond and I also recorded a match and it will
be on Youtube shortly (What? A duel video?!) I destroyed his Piper deck with my
Chaos Anti-Meta.
