Subject: Shadows of Infinite Doom by Brandon Schmidt, Galactic Quest



Galactic Quest

Lawrenceville, GA

May 13th, 2006

Tournament of the Five Civilizations

Shadows of Infinite Doom

22 Participants

10$ Entry fee



Hello all, it is I, Brandon (AKA Neo), back with a tournament report from the Five Civilizations tournament. I know that I have not wrote one in a while, but I’ll try to make it interesting.

I arrived at Galactic Quest at about 12:30 and saw the familiar faces of Stephan Slack and Justin Florio, neither of which were playing. There was a pretty big turnout of about 20-22 people, so it would be 6 rounds with a cut to Top Four. This tournament was very important, as it would determine who would receive invitations to the 2006 Continental Championships in South Carolina. I was determined to get one, as I did not really care about the packs.

I got to the store at about 12:20 and saw a few familiar faces. I had decided on my deck after getting some revisions. I spent a few minutes in silence, watching some of the practice duels to see how my opponents would play and what type of deck to expect. At about one, pairings were announced, but they forgot Austin Ladshaw, so they redid them.



Round One: Andy Simmons (Dark/Water/Fire Control)



At the time I did not know this, but this was the Andy I knew from another site called Duelzone. It seemed at first Andy was confident. The duel began, with him starting. Details about this duel were foggy, but I remember him hurting my field with Bazagazeal and Fists of Fury. I managed to discard his Bazagazeal before any further damage was done. I got a pretty nice field size and started attacking shields. I believe I used Lost Soul three times in this duel.



Second duel was pretty much the same. He lost his hand fairly quickly, and I did too. I got it back with King Ripped Hide. Deklowaz managed to kill a few of his creatures and allowed me to see his hand. It ended up coming down to his last shield, because if it was a trigger, I would lose, but it was not, so I got the victory.

Result: 2-0



Well after that duel my mom had brought me a sub from the deli that is like 3 or 4 doors down from GQ. I munched on it and went outside to see some dueling action. In minutes, pairings for Round Two were up



Round Two: Travis Bouknight (Dark/Water/Light Control)

Travis had managed to beat Josh, who has a pretty good upcoming duelist. In the first duel he basically owned me. He got La Ura Giga, Kelp Candle, Aqua Hulcas, Magris, Corile, etc. He broke all my shields in a matter of turns. However, his evolutions never hit the board. I would not allow it.



This duel went in my favor, but it was close. He got out Petrova which was quickly dealt with by my Bazagazeal Dragon. He got me down to no shields pretty quickly but that gave me an advantage. I got him top decking, which was the secret to beating him as I learned. I killed all his creatures, kept his hand low, and got my own army of creatures. This time, I won the duel.



This round was easier. I got his hand low fast, killed what he managed to get, and summoned my creatures.



Result: 2-1

Round Three: Tyler Smallwood (Bombazar Control)



Now, its been a long time since this name has gotten into my report. I had vowed revenge ever since my first report. But this time, Justin Florio has loaned him Bombazar and a few cards to make a deck. I did not think my deck would do well against it. Too bad I was right. First duel, Tyler gets out Bombazar really fast and kills me. No comment.



This duel, he got a turn 4 Bolmeteus out. I was at a loss of words. It was luck too. He killed his weaker creature, prayed, and got his damn creature. Shortly after that, he got Bombazar, but my last shield saved me.



Tyler won. Short and sweet.



1-2



Round Four: Michael Burke (Dark/Water/Fire Control)

I ended up at the n00b table now. This kid was using a deck similar to mine, but no where near as solid. This kid got owned, and I don’t mean to sound like a prick, but its

that simple.



2-0

Round Five: Josh (forgot your last time pal)



Now guys, there duels were off. I figured out why on Sunday, and I was not happy about it. In the first duel I got a hand full of high costs. I lost. Second duel, another crap hand, but Joshs is great. I managed to win this one with a combination of Galek/Corpse Charger and Josh’s mistakes. I had to win this.

Third duel, my hand was better, but Josh’s was even better. He won. With Bolmeteus.

Conclusion



I dropped out after this round. It was over. No way for Top Four and that was all I cared about. I collected my one pack and Melnia foil and left. The pack had Pala Olesis and Tanzanyte in it, so I guess it was ok. I had a lot of fun there, but it’s a shame that Da Vinci’s (Italian restaurant next door) did not open until 4. It smelled so good. Might as well let you know, Lee Sandow played today, and let me add he can be hilarious. And so can Tyler lol. Also, I WILL be attending the Last Chance Qualifier, so hopefully I’ll have two reports, one for Last Chance and one for the 2006 Continental Championships. I hope to hook up with some friends .



PROPS:

Attending

Good sportsmanship of all my opponents

Having fun



SLOPS:

My deck, and my friends

Da Vinci’s not being open until 4

Not making Top 4 cut

Having to drop because I was disappointed
