Since I forgot to write my report last night, this report will contain both of my tournament results from yesterday and today.
Yesterday, in the spirit of "Fun day Friday", Raymond and I decided to play Gallis decks. I decided to play Gallis Machina, similar to the one that came in top 32 of the last YCS, but with my spin. 40 monster decks are always fun, right?
Round 1 vs Holden the Newb (Chaos Dragons)
This match isn't special. I won the entire match in two minutes...
2-0
Round 2 vs Richard (Mermail Atlanteans)
1 - By turn 2 or 3 I end up with the Gallis, Genex Ally Birdman, and Koaki Meiru Doom loop.
2 - He rushed on his third turn, and I didn't draw any hand-traps, so I lost. I believe he OTKed me with double Abyssmegalo and a Marksman, which summoned an Attack Squad
3 - This game lasts only a few turns. On his last turn, he was just a few life points shy of defeating me, because I had Tragoedia or Gorz (can't remember). Then I loop him with Gallis, 2 Birdman and Doom. I needed 2 Birdman because he negated the first one with Abyss Scale of the Kraken.
2-1
Round 3 vs Kyle (Inzektors)
1 - After a few turns I ended up looping him to death.
2 - Game 2 was very close. We both ended up exploding on each other, however, his explosion was much more effective because he had Hornet. After he couldn't kill me, I special summon Cyber Eltanin to clear his field, then summon Machina Fortress and attack for game.
2-0
Round 4 vs Raymond (Gallis Piper)
1 - I loop him before he could loop me. This was turn 2 or 3.
2 - Neither of us had the loop. We exchanged power plays, and I won because he ran out of hand-traps before I did.
2-0
I went undefeated into Top 4, with the other competitors being Chris, Raymond and Kyle. Richard went 2-2, losing to Raymond after me, and Rori went 1-3 playing Plant Zombies.
Round 5 vs Chris (Machina Malefic Geartown)
1 - I didn't have the hand-traps to stop double Fortress and a Gadjiltron Dragon so I lost very quickly.
2 - I looped him immediately.
3 - He had too many Geartowns, and a Fortress. I somehow managed to put up a fight, but after that, he played the Seal of Orichalcos and the extra attack points secured him the victory.
I ended up splitting with Kyle for 3rd and 4th place because he didn't feel like playing another Gallis deck. Raymond ended up coming 1st.
That tournament ended my 1st place streak at 31 tournaments. It was a little sad, but I knew it was going to happen. He finished me with Seal, and I did feel like a lost a slight part of me after that game. Is that ironic?
Anyway, Friday ended and Saturday started. I decided to play the Plant Zombie deck I build for Rori, and that he failed using. I included 2 more Veilers and a Trap Stun. The Veilers were included for more synchro plays, not just for its effect. I included Trap Stun at the last minute for random tech. I ended up removing 2 Caius (there were 3) and a Goblin Zombie (there were 2).
Round 1 vs Blake (Dark Worlds)
1 - I go first and have the cards to Accel Synchro Summon Shooting Star Dragon. On his turn he doesn't do anything significant; just setting some back-row and a monster. On my next turn I summon Debris Dragon, special Lonefire Blossom from the graveyard, and summoned Black Rose Dragon. I negated his Torrential with Shooting Star. I used the second effect of Black Rose; by banishing Lonefire, I switch his Beige to attack mode with 0 attack. I used Shooting Star's ability to reveal 2 tuners out of the top 5 cards of my deck. I attacked for 9000 damage that turn.
2 - This game only lasts a few turns as well. I don't have many plant plays, but I have a plethora of Zombie plays. I swarm him and kill him.
2-0
Round 2 vs Richard (Mermail Atlanteans)
1 - He goes first and summons Diva, which I have the Veiler for. He sets a backrow and passes. I open with Lonefire and Reborn. I Accel Synchro Summoned Shooting Star Dragon, reveal 3 tuners with its effect, and attack for game.
2 - He goes first, and with his cards, summons Gachi. He also sets a backrow. I set a monster and 2 backrow. He draws, and flips his Abyssphere to summon Abyssmegalo, which I banish with Bottomless. He special summons another one, using its effect, and attacks my face-down. From that point, I don't really remember what happened. I know that I had board presence by having Stardust and Scrap Dragon, through some Zombie plays. His only option was to over-extend and destroy Stardust, and I won on my next turn.
2-0
Round 3 vs Rori (Dark World)
1 - I Accel Synchro Summoned Shooting Star Dragon first turn. He opens with a good hand. He discards Grapha to destroy Shooting Star, which I negate. He plays Heavy Storm to wipe out my 3 back-row. I OTK him on my next turn with more Plant plays, and Shooting Star Dragon.
2 - I don't know how I won this game, honestly. He goes first, setting some cards to his backrow and ended. I didn't open great either, so I set a Dandylion and some traps. He topdecks Card Destruction, sets another card to his backrow, and plays Card Destruction discarding Broww, Beige and Grapha. He destroys my set Dandy. He eventually summons Grapha and kills a token by battle, after setting more backrow. I draw, and summon DAD, thanks to Card Destruction. Unluckily, I destroy 1 set Reckless which he chains, and his Gate of dark World. I summoned Debris Dragon, summoned Dandy and made Scrap Dragon, and I take away quite a bit of life points. On his turn now, he explodes, activating both D.D.V. and E.E.V., declaring spells, which thankfully I had none. He also goes through all 3 Dragged Down to the Grave, a Dark World Dealings and end up with Double Grapha on board. He also used Grapha's effect at some point to destroy Scrap Dragon. He also destroyed my DAD by battle. At his end phase, I activate Call of the Haunted to summon Scrap Dragon. I draw, and activate crap Dragon's effect, destroying his Grapha and my set Trap, which I chained. That trap... was Trap Stun. I used Mezuki to summon Goblin Zombie from my Grave, special summoned Plaguespreader Zombie with its effect, and synchro summoned Gaia Knight. Those zombies entered my graveyard because Rori over-extended with his discard outlets, and because of the D.D.V.. I used Goblin Zombie to search Beast of the Pharaoh, which was enough damage to destroy him.
2-0
Round 4 vs Ryan K. (Inzektors)
1 - We both open with poor hands. Fortunately, my poor hand had a Dandy in it. The advantage was enough for me to eventually push for game, after turns of stalling.
2 - We both opened poorly again. He opened slightly better, since was able to do some Inzektor plays and summon a Tirus. I was able to make a Gaia Knight and crash with it. At that point he ran out of steam, due to his bad hand, and I had a couple of synchro summons which ended the game, but he scooped before I could finish him. We also both forgot to side against each other...
2-0
I head into Top 4 undefeated, along with Raymond, Chris and Blake. Richard went 2-2 after losing to Raymond, again. Rori went 2-2 after losing to Chris round 4.
Round 5 vs Raymond (Wind-Ups)
1 - I go first and set Reaper, with a face-down Torrential. He destroys it with MST and opening Tour Guide and Factory, and ended with Zenmaity and Rabbit, along with setting a trap. He did not attack. I summoned Mezuki, and he activates Torrential, banishing his Rabbit. I banish Mezuki to summon Reaper and attacked, discarding his Shark that he searched. That might have won me the game. From that point, I exhausted his resources with Veiler and Gorz. I also had to fight through 2 Reapers that he was stalling with. Once I did, I attacked for game.
2 - This game only lasted a few turns. He opened Rabbit and Factory, and I open with a set Goblin Zombie. Next turn, he tried to explode, but I had a hand-trap, so he couldn't kill me. Next turn I try and stall with Pyramid turtle, but it didn't matter because he had a lot of damage to kill me with.
3 - I Accel Synchro Summoned Shooting Star Dragon turn one. He sets some cards. I OTK him with Pyramid Turtle and Shooting Star, after revealing 3 tuners off the top of the deck.
2-1
Round 6 vs Chris (Machina Malefic Geartown)
PAYBACK MATCH!!!
1 - I Accel Synchro Summoned Shooting Star turn one. He summons Machina Fortress, which gets killed by my Bottomless. He passed. I draw and summon Pyramid Turtle. I chose not to use Shooting Star's effect to reveal tuners, since a lot of them were in my hand. Anyway, I attacked for 4500 that turn. He goes and summons Gearframe, searches and summons Fortress. He attacks Shooting Star with Fortress, and I banish Shooting Star to negate the attack, in case he had Limiter Removal. He then chooses to equip Gearframe to Fortress and ends. I play Mind Control and swing for game.
2 - He doesn't do too much on his turn. I set Sangan with 2 traps. He goes through a couple of Geartowns, granting him 2 Gear Dragons. He also summons Machina Fortress. Fortress destroys Sangan and I search for Lonefire. I take 6000 damage afterward. On my turn, I summoned Lonefire, and tributed it to summon Dandy. I used a face-down COTH to summon Lonefire, and tribute Dandy to summon Spore. I tune Spore and a Fluff Token to summon Formula and draw. I tune Formula to Lonefire to synchro summon Librarian. I banish Lonefire to summon Spore, and tune Spore to my other Fluff Token to synchro summon Catastor. I draw one with Librarian. I flip over my second COTH to summon back Formula Synchro. I tune Formula Synchron, to my Ally of Justice Catastor, and T.G. Hyper Librarian, to Delta Accel Synchro Summon Shooting Quasar Dragon! I also use Monster Reborn on Catastor, though it didn't matter at that point. Catastor attacked a Gear Dragon. Quasar attacked a Gear Dragon, then Fortress. I negated Fortress' destruction effect with Quasar and ended my turn. He baits out Quasar's effect with Grand Mole, then plays Dark Hole to destroy my field. I then used Quasar's ability to special summon Shooting Star Dragon from my extra deck. He special summons Machina Fortress and passed. I summon Tour Guide, special summon another one, and overlay them for Leviathan Dragon. With Shooting Star Dragon, I revealed 2 tuners off the top of my deck, so it was able to attack twice. With that extra attack, and Shooting Star negating Fortress' destruction effect, I won the tournament.
2-0
And that was that. I must say I enjoyed winning with Plants today. It brought back some good memories from the past. Maybe I'll start to build up another streak, who knows.
