Hello, pojo readers. My name is
Christian and I play Duel Masters at Comic Chest
in Virginia Beach, VA. This tournament was on
5/7/05 and there were seven participants. I
play a Water/Darkness agro control strategy
called the "Dead Sea".
My awesome mom also plays a Fire/Nature DM
deck, but I won't list it here. Today we left
our house at about one o'clock because I thought
the tournament would start at about two, and I
needed to trade for some more Terror Pits. I
wound up only getting one more but I should get
more next week. Anyway, with the addition, here
was the deck I was playing.
The Dead Sea
Water (22)
4 Crystal Lancer
2 Crystal Paladin
4 Aqua Hulcus
4 Aqua Guard
4 Corile
4 Spiral Gate
Darkness (20)
4 Chaos Worm
4 Horrid Worm
2 Gregorian Worm
4 Marrow Ooze, the Twister
4 Death Smoke
2 Terror Pit
The tournament was swiss style and places
were judged by your overall ranking in matches.
Now, on to round one!
Round One-Christian VS. Malcom
Duel One-Malcom was playing a rainbow deck,
so I didn't really know what to expect.
However, it was actually pretty easy. A late
Corile won it for me as my control had left him
with no options. WIN
Duel Two-This game closely resembled our
last duel. The only difference was that I had
two Horrid Worms on the field which completely
destroyed his hand. I made him keep top-decking
and I won. WIN
Stats after round one- Duels Matches
Christian-
2-0 1-0
Mom-
2-1 1-0
Round Two-Christian VS. Phillip
Duel One-Phillip is my friend from Yu-Gi-Oh
who was ALSO playing a rainbow deck. I got a
very slow start. He got out a Deadly Fighter
Braid Claw on his first turn and the lowest card
in my hand was Aqua Hulcus. He played a very
good game and I thought I would win sooner than
I did. I won when I Spiral Gated his Deathblade
Beetle and attacked with Gregorian Worm. When I
did so, I only had one shield left. WIN
Duel Two-I got a kinda slow start again, but
Horrid Worm destroyed his hand early in the
game. Later, he Spiral Gated my Crystal Lancer
when he had no shields and I had four. On his
turn he played Sundrop Armor to put a Terror Pit
into hid shield zone and I got Lancer out again
on my turn and ran into it =(. However, I came
back to win with Gregorian Worm. WIN
Stats after round two- Duels Matches
Christian- 4-0
2-0
Mom- 4-1
2-0
Round Three-BYE
These are one-half of a win for the match.
I used the time to work on my notes for the
previous matches, and then I just walked around
the store, bored out of my skull.
Stats after round three- Duels Matches
Christian-
4-0 2.5-0
Mom-
6-2 3-0
Round Four-Christian VS. Sandra (a.k.a. Mom)
Duel One-Well, I got to play my mom, so I
wasn't too worried. Like I said before, she
played Fire/Nature. This game was pretty easy,
and I hardly had any real trouble beating
her. WIN
Duel Two-This game was also pretty easy.
Her speed attackers got me down to no shields
and posed a pretty big problem, but my late
game control took over and I won with a Chaos
Worm. WIN
Well, the final standings were announced,
and I came in first, going undefeated in
matches. My mom, only losing one match which
was to me, came in second with Phillip coming in
third. The prize I picked was a Kokujo starter
deck because it has a Terror Pit in it. Now I
have three, and Jacob should bring one to trade
me next week=). Now for pros and cons!
PROS
Me coming in first
Mom coming in second
Jacob for running the tournament
Me getting two more Terror Pits
Jacob because I KNOW he will remember to bring
another Terror Pit next weekend
CONS
Jacob for forgetting his Terror Pit
Carl for not showing up
