Tournament Report for 03/01/2013

It's been a long time since a tournament report has been written, by none other than myself. I was fortunate enough to actually be able to play Fire Fists at Locals, so I could test them for Regionals. You never know, maybe I will be able to play them... Anyway, the report:

Round 1 vs Hieratics

1 - I beat him by Turn 4, by spamming Tiger Kings and blowing up his bigger monsters with Bears.
2 - He misplayed during this game, by making an Adreus when he could've made a Tirus. Regardless, I would've won anyway, because he was facing a 3000+ Tiger King. I beat him by clearing his board with Bear and Gorilla, then making a Tiger King for the KO.

2-0

Round 2 vs Gladiator Beasts (Richard)

Richard had to go during this round, so I got the free win...

2-0

Round 3 vs Six Samurai (Raymond)

1 - I went first, and opened well enough to generate a +2 before his turn. I also had answers for every monster he summoned, so I won.
2 - On his first turn, he summoned Beast and Barkion, with the assistance of 3 Six Sam United. I just scooped...
3 - I opened in a similar way to game 1. He had to make Heroic Champion - Excalliber, to attack over my Tiger King, since it was so strong. Then Tiger King summoned a Bear and Gorilla from my deck. I ripped his field apart and make another Tiger King. He eventually ran out of options.

2-1

Round 4 vs Watts (Kyle)

1 - He opened double Messenger of Peace, Macro, and Wattcobra. I couldn't get rid of all those cards, since I only drew 3 monsters the entire game...
2 - I managed to resolve Deck Devastation Virus on a Vorse Raider, which left him monster-less for 3 turns. During those 3 turns, I destroyed all his crucial spells/ traps with Gorilla, and own.
3 - I opened pretty well, with Rabbit and multiple Fire Formations. I beat him in two turns, but he scooped before I could finish him, anyway.

2-1

Since everyone in Top 4 wanted to leave (Raymond, Kyle, myself, and Randy??), we just split and parted ways. I'm quite impressed with how Fire Fists function. The deck is simple to play, really simple. However, it does require a little thought to play properly. I thought a little, and won. Who knows, I might end up taking the deck to Regionals...
