Tournament on
It was a nice day, sunny and a little chilly, in other
words, a perfect Bay Area autumn day. The Disruptor
Deck was ready to make a return to action.
Last week, I did not have time to write a tourney report,
but I was dueling with a Lord of D./Dragon deck. I
was just curious to see how it
would do, so I changed my deck from the Walls of Jericho to the Dragon
Deck on Saturday night. For the
tournament, the Lord of D deck did OK, but there was no way it could win
the tournament. It was definitely
playable, but not dominating.
After seeing the level of competition and decks vastly
improve, I decided to bring the Disruptor back and
test the waters.
1st match
Opponent: bye
2nd match, semi-finals
Opponent:
I have not played
from the traditional Beatdown to his Transition Deck (Toon
World, Burn, Direct Damage, Beatdown,
everything but the kitchen sink) to
his current Burn Deck. This guy is Mr. Duel, he must have played over
500 matches against people, and he definitely gets better
with experience.
1st duel, he beats me with a combination of Ceasefire Treaty
and Attack and Receive. I was not even close,
getting him down to 6000 only. And
once he flipped over the Trap Ceasefire Treaty, I had no move since I
use a lot of effect monsters. At
this point, I was thinking of going to the side deck to make adjustments
based on the first duel. However, I
got lazy and decided not to get my side deck out from my pocket.
2nd duel, he continues his assaults with Trap burn cards,
combined with Jinzo #7, Mystic Lamp, and
Rainbow Flower, Tremendous Fire, and
Cannon Soldier. This duel, I did a little better and kept it real close,
but I was not able to pull out the
win. (Lesson to all: Don’t be lazy!)
2 and out, I haven’t sucked this bad in a long time, but
it’s good to get humbled every now and then to keep
people grounded. Ha! That’s what
people that lose say.
After the tournament, I challenge both finalists. First, I
have a rematch with
off the bat first duel. Finally
convinced that my Disruptor needs adjustments, I go to the side deck before
the second duel. Well, I was able
to sweep the next two for the victory and I learned some lessons about my
deck. The Disruptor definitely
needs adjustments to face off and do well with decks that utilize cards from
Pharoah’s Servant. PSV is a set that balances out face down flip
effect monsters and makes them less
powerful.
My second “fun” duel with the Champ, Steffon,
ended up with me winning the first, losing the second, and
making a comeback to win the third.
Steffon is a good duelist, and I know with a little
more experience and
adjustments, he will be another
duelist that will give me a run for my money.
We will see what happens next week. One thing is for sure,
the side deck will be utilized more.
What’s up!
to the hardcore Yu-Gi-Oh! gamers at a World of Books, keeping the game going.
Get lost!
