I decided to play my Chaos Anti-Meta deck at YCS Toronto. It was very interesting how my random deck played against other decks, and the surprise factor of certain cards, like Breaker. I also mained 1 random Snowman Eater at the last minute, which threw people off guard. Anyway, onto my report:
Round 1 vs Wind-Ups:
1 - He goes first and opens Tour Guide, Shark, Reborn, Avarice, and 2 Salvage... I didn't open Veiler so he discarded my entire hand. My sixth card was useless so I scooped.
2 - He didn't see my deck in action, so he didn't side, even though he discarded Cyber Dragon, Breaker and Honest... I sided into my Maxx "C"s. Game 2 I raped him, because I drew Maxx "C", a Thunder King and a bunch of traps.
3 - He looped me three cards because I didn't draw hand-traps. I drew my 6th card and my hand contained 3 MST...
1-2
So that was an unfortunate way to start the tournament...
Round 2 vs Chaos Dragons:
1 - This was actually a close game. The only reason he one is because he top-decked Honest in our top-decking war when he had an Eclipse Wyvern in Hand.
2 - I set 2 traps and summon a Breaker. He plays Recharge, then Charge, then Recharge, then Allure of Darkness, then Heavy Storm, then Monster Reborn... He dealt over 8000 damage.
0-2
I just lost both my rounds due to my opponent being luckier than me. I was not happy.
Round 3 vs Psychics with Grandsoil
1 - I had answers to all of his bigger plays, since I opened muliple traps. I was able to deal with both of his Grandsoil, and I had the Veiler for his Overdrive Teleporter. Paying 2000 is a cost, that definitely costed him.
2 - He opened with Beast, and 3 of my 6 opening cards were spells. I had now way over the Naturia Beast until later, but then it was too late.
3 - Opening Thunder King against Psychics. I dealt severe damage with it but he eventually killed it. Then he summoned Barkion, which fell prey to my Snowman Eater. I had the Warning for his Overdrive Teleporter. At that point I destroyed him with Acid Golem, plus Forbidden Lance, for enough damage.
2-1
Round 4 vs ???
1 - He starts by setting a monster and backrow. I use MST to destroy his Bottomless and Thunder King defeats Sangan. I set some backrow of my own and end. He passes... perhaps Gorz? I summon Breaker and attack him directly with 3800, he didn't have Gorz. He draws and scoops... ok
2 - I didn't side because I only saw 2 cards, which can be played in almost any deck. This time he summons Sangan and sets a trap... OMG it's like in the show!! I summon Cyber Dragon which he negates with Warning. I summon Tour Guide and make a Leviathan Dragon, detaching a material to boost his attack. I summon BLS (only time I drew it the entire day). At this point he has 6000 life point. BLS attacks Sangan and I dropped Honest, so BLS was 4000 until the end of the turn. He inflicted 3000, then attcked again for 4000. I won... after having my only sack moment the entire day...
2-0
Round 5 vs Elemental/ Destiny Heroes
Unfortunately, I don't really remember this match, which is a shame because he was the most skilled player I faced all day. I won the match 2-1, but it was really close. I won the match because I used Super Poly on his Bubbleman and Shock Master...
2-1
Round 6 vs Wind-Ups
1 - Again, this guy looped my hand turn 1, and I didn't have Veiler...
2 - I open with a terrible hand and can't do hardly anything. On his turn he somehow summons 2 Shock Masters...
So I went 3-3 and dropped at this point. Only matches I lost were due to my opponents being luckier than me, which is quite sad. At this point, almost everyone was 3-3 and we all dropped. Rori (the super-sacky hero player) went 1-3, and same with his brother; they were the only ones who didn't go 3-3...
Anyway, the overall results of YCS Toronto is that Wind-Ups won. Psychics with Grandsoil came second, which was Piloted by Jeff Jones. In a nutshell, this was how this feature match went.
1 - Wind-Up player had triple Factory by turn 2, which is extremely sacky... Jones had a really powerful field, but who cares because his opponent opened 3 Factories which is auto-win.
2 - Jones had multiple hand-traps so he won.
3 - Wind-Up guy was extremely sacky here too!
And that was it. These were the top 16 results:
5 Wind-Ups
4 Heroes
2 Geargia
2 Dino-Rabbit
1 Dark World
1 Burn
1 Psychics
My deck I built was created to dismantle Heroes, Geragia and Dino-Rabbit. This deck also has answers to Wind-Ups if I don't get sacked. My deck did ok against Dark Worlds in testing, and I never tested against Psychics or Burn. Oh well, maybe if I maindeck a couple of Maxx "C"s, then I'll be able to defeat Wind-Ups better. That's Yu-Gi-Oh I suppose.
Anyway, I did end up getting some good cards. I finally have my playset of Cardcar D. These are some of the cards I got, but are not limited to this list.
1st Ed Ghost Rare Stardust
German Christmas Calender Stardust
German Christmas Calender Black Rose
2 Gold rare Bottomless
1 Ultra Dark Hole
That's YCS Toronto, basically. I'm probably going to be attending many Regionals this season, and I'm 75% I can attend YCS Providence in October. Until then, I'll just continue to playtest and win many Locals.
