Tournament Report for 03/24/2013

Saturday was a very special day...

JONATHAN LYNCH IS BACK!!!!

SkillOverLuck is now complete, which is pretty awesome. He played Junk Doppel Plants and I played Dino-Rabbit, testing it for the upcoming Regionals. I'll go into a little detail about my scores, and I'll post Jonathan's standings afterward.

Round 1 vs Austin the Stoddart Bro (Genex Mermail) 2-0

Game 1 I opened Rabbit, Tour Guide and double Macro. That was the best opening I had all day... Game 2 was a little bit of a tight game. I had to use Monster Reborn on his Abyssleed, before he brought it back. I won that game with Abyssleed, though I had to fight for that victory.

Round 2 vs Andrew the Stoddart Bro (Noble Knights) 2-1

Game 1 I opened with a bunch of normals. I couldn't get a play going, and my only play was stopped by Honest. Game 2 I opened with Rabbit, and he couldn't deal with the Laggia. Game 3 was really close. With the use of Zenmaines and Spirit Reaper, he brought me to 0 cards on hand or field. I topdecked Tour Guide, made Leviair, summoned Rabbit which was already banished, then summoned 2 Sabersaurus. Those monsters attacked the Spirit Reaper for game.

Round 3 vs Jonathan (Junk Doppel Plants) 2-0

Game 1 I opened with Macro, Kabazauls, and 2 set cards. He special summoned Unknown Synchron, used Mind Control on Kabazauls, then normal summoned Synchron Explorer and destroyed my field with Black Rose Dragon. I summon Tour Guide into Tour Guide. One of them attacks, and he drops Gorz. I make a Zenmaines and set another Macro, which is activated immediately. We stall for quite a few turns, because I keep drawing backrow. Once I start drawing monsters, I draw 3 Guaiba in a row... I eventually made Dolkka, and Starlight Road saved my ass. Game 2 he didn't open too well, and I was able to take control of the game almost immediately.

Round 4 vs Richard (Dragunities) 2-1

Game 1 I opened only normals, and 2 set traps, which he destroyed with 2 MST and proceeded to OTK me. Game 2 I opened only normals, but going first, I was able to defend with backrow. After I stopped his turn one play, I destroyed his backrow with 2 MST. On my turn I summon another Normal dinosaur and make Laggia, and Laggia beat him. Game 3 he opened with 2 set cards. I play Heavy Storm, followed by Kabazauls. On his turn, he somehow permanently steals my Kabazauls and attacks with it. I summon Sabersaurus to kill it, then summon it back with Monster Reborn, and won shortly after.

Top 4 included myself, Jonathan, Richard and Chris.

Round 5 vs Chris (Karakuri OTK) 2-1

Game 1 he couldn't explode right off the bat. We grinded resources until I depleted his life points. He used Solemn Judgment on a Temtempo, paying 4000 life points. That helped... Game 2 he went crazy like a bag of cats on fire... Game 3 I prevented him from exploding, and then I won.

I split with Richard with Top 2, since people wanted to leave. Besides, going undefeated with Dino Rabbit is pretty good.

This is how Jonathan did:

Round 1 vs Austin (inzektors) 2-0
Round 2 vs Chris (Karakuri OTK) 2-1
Round 3 vs Mario (Dino-Rabbit) 0-2
Round 4 vs Jim (Heroes) 2-0 or 2-1, not sure.

Top 4 vs Richard (Dragunities) 1-2

Welcome back Jonathan!
