Since I never got around to writing my report for yesterday's Locals, I decided to combine them together today. I'll also just list the highlights of the matches. Yesterday, I decided to play Mermails, since it was the only deck I had ready to go. Today, I played Exodia.
Friday (6 people, 3 rounds, no Top 4):
Round 1 vs Randy (Lightsworns) 2-0
Game 1 I opened pretty awesome, and he just immediately scooped. Game 2 he attacked for 7900, and had me locked with Decree. With the help of Dark Hole, and other Mermail plays. I cleared all his monsters, except for Zenmaines. Since I attacked Zenmaines, I made Number 11: Big Eye to steal it and destroy his Decree. He scooped as soon as he drew.
Round 2 vs Rori (Fire Fists) 2-1
Game 1 he beat me pretty quickly. Game 2 I beat him pretty quickly. Game 3 we ended up in a topdecking war. I ended up winning because I topdecked monsters and he didn't. Also, I had 50 life points remaining that game. Talk about all the low-life comebacks today.
Round 3 vs Kyle (Hunders) 2-1
Game 1 I OTKed him quickly. Game 2 he used Mind Crush on my only answer, and I drew nothing for my remaining turns. Game 3 I made Abyssgaios on my first turn, and he couldn't deal with it.
I came first place with Mermails. I didn't expect any less, honestly. I don't have too much to say, since I've already exhausted content on this deck.
Saturday (15 people I believe, 4 rounds with Top 4):
Round 1 vs Andrew the Stoddart Bro (Noble Knights) 2-1
His deck doesn't counter Exodia in any way, except with Spirit Reaper, which I made sure didn't discard any Exodia pieces. Game 2 he did win by using Mind Crush on a random Exodia piece I had.
Round 2 vs Austin the Stoddart Bro (Genex Mermails) 2-1
Game 1 he didn't draw anything to threaten me greatly. Game 2 he beat me because I ran out of defensive cards. Game 3 I won because I had the Solemn Judgment for the Moulinglacia.
Round 3 vs Ryan R. (Geargia) 2-0
Game 1 I opened pretty good, and won in a few turns. Game 2 he didn't open with anything amazing, and I eventually drew what I needed.
At this point, I am the only undefeated contender.
Round 4 vs Rori (T.G. Stun) 2-1
Game 1 I beat him by drawing Exodia fast enough. Game 2 I ran out of defensive cards. Game 3 was hilarious. I add one of the Exodia arms to my hand with Pot of Duality. A few turns later he activates Mind Crush, and declared the other Exodia arm, which I didn't have. Yeah, I won because of that...
Top 4 was myself, Andrew, Austin and Ryan K..
Round 5 vs Ryan K. (Karakuri OTK) 0-2
Game 1 he ends up with Naturia Beast, Landoise and Royal Decree. Game 2 I draw a lot of cards with Maxx "C", then activates Mind Crush on a random Exodia piece that I have.
Round 6 vs Andrew the Stoddart Bro 2-0
Game 1 I stalled him until I drew Exodia, which was on the bottom. Game 2 was similar.
I ended up coming 3rd, Ryan ended up coming 1st. In conclusion, Exodia is still pretty good, though it still has its weaknesses...
One final announcement: I should be attending Regionals on 04/06/2013 in Montreal, and 04/13/2013 in Oshawa. I'm happy that there is no pressure, but I will make a serious attempt to top these Regionals. Content on these tournaments will start eventually; I have a couple of things I want to blog about beforehand.
