Hey everyone,
I stopped blogging on here because I quit 7 months ago. I decided to come back into the game, for some unknown reason, before YCS Toronto. I had a month to prepare, and most of the month was spent getting a decent collection going. Then I played at YCS Toronto, made it to round 10, and lost on the bubble to uncontrollable things... It's really disheartening, but life happens.
At my Local's last week, I played Blue-Eyes and went undefeated. Yesterday, my brain wasn't functioning at full capacity, so I decided to play my girlfriend's Yosenju deck. I put in some cards to make it better, like Solemn Strikes, and Floodgate Trap Holes, and Card of Demise...
Round 1: Damian, someone brand new to the scene (Blue-Eyes)
I won game 1 in a few turns, due to overwhelming trap cards, and having enough Yosenjus to actually win at a decent phase. Game 2 took a while, and was a lot more interesting. I had him locked down with Rivarly of Warlords, for the whole game (he never drew an answer to it). I would've run a lot sooner, but he had a Mirror Force when I had a few couple monsters. I couldn't draw another monster for a while, and he was just beating me down slowly with a weak spellcaster. Eventually, I drew a monster, and then I won a few turns later.
1-0
Round 2: Ian (Kaijus)
The match took about 7 minutes. He was playing Fire and Ice Hands, that I could answer without them using their effects. I had a few Yosenjus both games. He could never get off any cool Kaiju plays, because Yosenjus are just that great.
2-0
Round 3: Blake (Performapal Majespecter)
Game 1 he had an amazing hand, but I went first and had Anti-Spell Fragrance, so he lost. Game 2, I dealt with his first-turn play, then he spent some time beating me down with some weak monsters. Eventually, I had the monsters to beat his poking, and Majespecter Tornado only hits one card, not several Yosenjus. Also, Pendulum Hole was amazing during Game 2. I resolved it twice, and it put in work. To be fair, Solemn Strike or Warning would've been equally amazing.
3-0
Round 4: Josh (Qliphort)
Game 1, he started with a Scout, payed 800 for a Helix. He summoned it, equipped Saqlifice, set a trap and passed. I bounced it back with Kama 1, and started the beatdown. I think I had Anti-Spell to prevent him from completing his other scale, but I don't clearly remember. I know I won a few turns after that awesome turn one play (it wasn't really that awesome...). Game 2 he summoned Helix, played Necrovalley, and set 3 cards. I honestly don't remember this one, but I won, somehow.
4-0
Top 4 was myself, Josh, Blake and Randy (Evilswarms). We decided to split for Top 4, but I played Randy in a fun match. Our game 1 was a lot of draw and pass, draw and pass. Eventually he ran out of answers for the monsters, as I drew them, while I kept having answers for his monsters. Game 2 he didn't open great, but on his second turn, he tried to Full House me, and I responsed with Starlight Road (yeah, I played that card... specifically for Twin Twister, but if the shoe fits...). I won almost immediately after,
It was enjoyable playing a deck, wearing a helmet (literally, I wore a helmet for the tournament) and just sitting back and relaxing, not having to use my brain in the slightest. In reality, I hate these kind of decks, but I really didn't feel like playing anything with a high enough though ceiling.
Anyway, I'm probably going to continue this blog, and post every day or two. I have lots of ideas for this card game, and the Pokemon TCG, that I want to write somewhere and be provided with feedback. Of course, I'm open to any content suggestions, questions, or anything else. Don't forget, the main purpose of this blog is to help everyone else.
Have an awesome day!
