"Box" Tournament Report 03/11/2012

So today I planned to go the box tournament today and I was piloting Wind-Ups. At yesterday's tournament (where I went undefeated with Chaos Anti-Meta..) we were told by the owner that the prize would be a box of GAOV. Today, we find out the real prize: A bunch of random packs of GAOV and HA6... We were all disappointed. I even went as far to ask the owner if credit could be today's prize. He said no... So yeah, playing for absolute crap...

Round 1 vs Random Scrub (Macro)

I didn't open amazing during any of these games, but I won because he is still a scrub...

2-0

Round 2 vs Richard (Inzektors)

1 - I opened Magician + Shark and I made a Shock Master locking off monster effects. I won the next turn because he couldn't use monster effects.
2 - I don't remember the details of this game, but I won within a few turns.

2-0

Round 3 vs Jim (E-Heroes)

1 - He went first, summoning Stratos, searching Alius, and setting a trap. I opened MST, Tour Guide and Shark so I won that turn.
2 - I joked with Jim that he gave me a godly hand. I opened 2 Magician and 2 Shark... He stopped my first first Magician + Shark play, but I killed him the turn after... That was by far the best and I've ever experienced playing this deck.

2-0

Round 4 vs Random Scrub (Dark Worlds)

1 - He goes first, and does a couple of Dark World plays. I won by beating him down with Rabbits because I had answers for his plays.
2 - This game was quite drown out. Gemini Imps beat his Card Destruction, then I had control of the game with Thunder King and Rabbit. I also kept my Graveyard empty so he couldn't properly use Dark Smog.

2-0

I topped, along with Rori (Karakuri), Zach (Chaos Dragons) and Ryan (Geargia Machina). Now get this:

Yesterday, Rori lost to me, got a bye, and won his other 2 rounds and he topped. The bye was worth 3 points. Today, Dark World scrub received a bye, a loss by myself, and won his other 2 rounds. His bye was worth 1 point... Discrepency much... I would also like to poit out Rori won against 3 random scrubs today, and lost to Jim. Just saying... Anyway, back to the report:

Round 5 vs Zach (Chaos Dragons)

1 - I start by summoning Tour Guide into Sangan and set a Warning. He summoned Card Trooper, which was negated by Warning. He then passes and I draw Shark. I make a Zenmaity with my 2 monsters and summon Magician. I then activate Shark...and I win that turn because he didn't have any hand traps.
2 - He summoned Thunder King and passed. I summoned Wind-Up Rabbit and passed. He summons a Tour Guide, special summons another one, and makes Leviair (In case I decided to banish the Rabbit). I let his Thunder King kill my Rabbit, he swings with Leviair and I drop Gorz. He passes and I summon Tour Guide and Sangan. Gorz kills Thunder King, my Token crashes with Leviair, and Tour Guide gets 1000 damage in. He draws, plays Dark Hole to destroy my field, Monster Reborn to summon my Gorz, and BLS to have exactly enough damage to win... So many limited cards...
3 - I summon Magician, and he drops Maxx "C" when I reveal Shark, so he draws a card. I set 2 traps and pass. He plays Heavy Storm, then Monster Reborn on his Maxx "C", and tributes it for Light Pulsar Dragon (I saw his hand after, that was the best he could do...). He attacked my Magician and ends his turn. I win on my next turn because I have Reborn too. He didn't have any more hand-traps.

2-1

Round 6 vs Rori (Karakuri)

1 - I go first with Magician and Shark, and end up with Shock Master, declaring Spells. He summons Komachi, uses its effect to normal summon a lv. 4 Karakuri, and he destroyed my field with Black Rose. We continued to fight, and it got to the point where we were both under 1000 life points. My only play was to make Tirus for game, and he had the CED. I will also note that I could've won a couple of turns before that, but he had Limiter Removal so I couldn't win. I lost... I was not happy at all. I refused to let Rori end my hot streak at 28 1st place titles...
2 - I held him back with Thunder King. I didn't leave the field the entire game... I won with Thunder King and a couple of Wind-Up plays.
3 - By my second turn I had Thunder King and Fossil Dyna on the field. He had no outs to either monster until the very end, when it was too late. I took advantage of the Karakuri battle-changing mechanics to win the tournament. I was a little happier...

2-1

So I secured my 29th 1st place finish. That was more of a prize than the packs were, since the best card I pulled was Vylon Disigma...

Other than that, I lost my voice last night and couldn't speak much today. It was annoying playing cards like that. Also, Richard and Ryan made fun of me because I could barely speak... bunch of meanies...

Anyway, I did some trades, and bought some sleeves off my store credit, since I refuse to pay $30 for a Hanzo tin (That's right, $30 for a tin, when the official price is $19.99 according to Konami...). He charged me tax on the sleeves, since I was using credit, which was a little annoying since I didn't win any credit today...

Today's events I consider more negative then positive. Yeah, I won another tournament, but that's old news...
