This is actually a beatdown deck that has a
theme :O Yes, that is actually possible. The objective is to bring
out almost any monster and power it up with one or more equip magic cards and
easily destroy the opponents monster (especially using Axe of Despair ;)
The tournament was single elimination best of three match.
Round 1
Me vs. Some Kid ??? Deck
I don't remember much from this duel.
Basically I beat him by powering up a Ryu-Kishin Powered and finished him
off by using a Monster Reborn or something like that. Not much of a
challenge.
Round 2
Me vs. Some Other Kid ???
Deck
Very similar to the first round except I didn't
even loose any live points in the second duel.
Round 3
Me vs. Jimmy Dark-Fiend Deck
This kid actually put up decent fight; we
was very nervous and constantly told me that throughout the match. The
first duel started out close, but I managed to clear his field of
monsters and call the flip correctly for Jirai Gumo (go 2200 damage).
The second duel was closer until I drew monster reborn and brought out Summoned
Skull.
Final Round
Me vs. Aik ??? Deck
Aik is one of the best duelist I have ever
played; I'll even put him on par with IQ. Enough of that
though: on with the final round. I won the flip to see chooses to go
first, and I let Aik go first (I actually like going second in this game).
Aik went and played a Dark Elf, I think face up and a trap card. My
turn. I have six cards in my five of them equip magic and one monster
that could not be equipped with any of the magic cards in my hand.
During this first duel I just couldn't draw the right monster so I could use all
of my equip magic. First Duel to Aik. Second duel I was able to destroy
his Summoned Skull with a powered up Ryu-Kishin Powered to deal him 500 life
points of damage. He fissures RKP, and plays some monster. I
believed I fissured that monster. The for a few draws neither of us drew
any monsters. Finally I manage to get Barrel Dragon out; I loose the
coin toss but attack his face down monster anyway. It was a Man-Eater Bug
:( But that actually worked to my benefit :O He then draws a card
and plays nothing. I then draw an Axe of Despair. I play Big Eye in attack
mode and attach the Axe of Despair, thus winning this duel. We are now
tied. To make a long story short Aik won the third round and the
tournament.
Personally, I was happy to win second place and
$15 store credit. I bought some Magic Ruler boosters and entered the next
tournament their for next week. I got a Rush Recklessly and an Invader of
the Throne, but rest was a bunch of super commons :(
Cheers & Jeers
Cheers:
To Aik for being a good sport and trading
me two Whiptail Crows for a couple of my cards.
To finally winning something in a
tournament.
To Mike (or is it Chris) the judge their for
keeping an eye on my son during the match with Aik.
Jeers:
None.
