Random Evo-Crush by Justin

Sorry, this is my first
tournament report, so it may be a little bit sloppy, so bare with me. This was
also my very first Duel Masters tournament, so you can judge my results based on
that.
The tournament was a 20 dollar, five pack booster draft. There were only 20
Evo-Crushinator of Doom packs left in the store, so only four people obtained
them for the draft. Luckily, I obtained five of them for my draft. I was quite
happy with myself for signing up fast enough to get Evo. The rest of the people
had to get Shadowclash of Blinding Light. My pulls were actually quite good
compared to what I expected, so I had planned to do well in this
tourney.

I was actually pretty
confident going into the first match against a Shadowclash deck. The poor kid
pulled an Alcadeias, Lord of Spirits but couldn’t use
it.
Justin Florio vs. David
This match started
off with the kid getting an Aqua Guard out and me getting Marrow Ooze. He killed
it, and went on the offense. He went up four shields to none. I started getting
creatures out. He started not to tap. I drew Rumble Gate when I had four
creatures. I killed all his creatures. Next turn, I drew Barkwhip and I had evo
bait in my hand. I Sent him out for the win.
I started things off
with Wyn, the Oracle on round 2. The kid couldn’t get any creatures out. I
attacked three times with Wyn to avoid two shield triggers. I avoided them until
I had enough creatures to destroy the rest. I won.
2-0
Justin Florio vs. Lee
Sandow
I had met Lee by trading online with him, and now I
met him in person. I also realize that he is a card reviewer on this site, so I
was pumped up for this match. Lee used Evo-Crushinator as
well.
The first match, Lee
was very aggressive on offense. He killed every creature I could get out. Lee
got Bolzard Dragon out destroyed me. He took my mana away and finished me off
quickly. I was owned.
Again, I was
destroyed. I managed to get Barkwhip out, but he came to a quick end by Lee’s
Ethel, Star Sea Elemental. Dark Titan Maginn was suicided on by his Bolzard
Dragon. This round ended up with him still having four shields or so. I was
owned worse than the first round.
2-2
Justin Florio vs. Matt
Facing another
Shadowclash deck, I got an early lead in mana with Silver Axe. I soon got Larba
Geer out, right before he got his Missle Boy out. Too late Matt, you were owned.
Four shields to none.
This was another easy match. I got two
Horrid Worms out fast, keeping his hand empty. He couldn’t play much. He got
Trox out eventually, but I Coriled it. Then I played Dark Titan Maginn. Next
round Barkwhip for the win. Three shields to none.
4-2
Justin Florio vs. AJ
Facing another
Shadowclash deck, I was hoping for a win. Well, that didn’t happen. This round,
I got many creatures out, blasting his shields. The thing was, they were ALL
shield triggers. His creatures outnumbered mine and I lost. Two shields to
none.
I was prepared this
time. I stacked up my creatures, not attacking any shields. I got out cheap
Horrid Worms and Essence Elves. I finally got enough creatures to take out his
shields. The thing was, he was hitting my shields all this time. I was down to
one shield and I could take him out this turn with my six creatures. I took out
four shields no triggers. I was about to taste a victory… I attacked the last
shield, and it was a Kolon. He tapped my last creature and finished me off on
his turn.
Final Stats 4-4
Well, I don’t think I did TOO bad for my
first tournament. I guess I should have expected Lee would own me. LoL. He is
the DM Guru over there. Well, mad props to the winner, Lee Sandow, with his
excellently built deck. And to the second, third, and fourth place winners, good
job on getting those Promos and packs. Grrrrr, I wanted those Marinomancers!
Second place went to AJ, who owned me with Kolon. Third place went to Ramsey and
Fourth place went to big Justin. Nice job guys. But we ALL got owned by the all
lucky Lee Sandow. Way to go Lee.
Pros-
I landed an Ultracide Worm that I
needed.
Cons-
No Marinomancer for me…
GRRRRRRRRRR!
Lee beat me… What a
surprise.
There were only 20 packs of Evo… Kyle, keep the store
stocked! Jeeze!
