After
I registered, I walked around with my Last Turn, Reinforcement of the Army, and
Asura Priest to see if and one wanted them for an Injection Fairy Lily,
Mechanical Chaser or Morphing Jar. No
one did so I just scoped out the competition and waited for the tourney to
begin. There wasn’t an expected 64
people like usual so we had some byes.
Unfortunately I didn’t get a bye but I found out I that I had to face a
kid.
During
the duels, he is unclear about some cards so his dad explains it to him.
Duel
1: He went first by laying the hysteric fairy in attack mode without any m/t’s
so I could tell he wasn’t that good. I
went by playing delinquent duo and summoning bazoo bossting him up 300 and
attacking his fairy for a 100lp lead.
Next he draws and then sets a mon.
I go and play some cards to bring 3 cards in my grave and cleared his
monster and attacked with bazoo. The
rest of the duel I lose my bazoo and gets me to 3400lp but I cylinder his
summoned skull, snatch it, change of heart his powered up bazoo and took the
duel.
Duel
2: Pretty much the same thing except he
only brings me down to 7300lp and instead of stealing his monsters, I clear his
field and bring out Barrel Dragon for the win.
After
the duel I felt bad so I gave him my Asura Priest. I then go to tell the judge that I won. I wait a few minutes to find out my next opponent and during that
time I watch some duels and decide to get some boosters. I got 2 and inside was
susa soldier and second coin toss. This
girl also bought one and got opticlops, which she gave away because she had 3
apparently. She said maybe she would
get another booster and I think about getting another one but brush it off as I
look at someone’s binder’s of cards. A
few seconds later, the same girl said, “Oh my gosh, I got Yata!” So I felt so stupid because I would’ve
gotten Yata if I bought one even though I already had one. Anyways, the jude announced my opponent and
his name was Steve. I remembered that
he was the guy who had like 2 fiber jars, freed, and marauding captain 2 weeks
back when LOD first came out. So I
thought he must have gotten more and better by now and I was right.
Match
2: Eric’s Beatdown vs. Steve’s Warrior Deck
I
take out my score sheet and he says he has a calculator but I tell him that I’m
writing a tourney report for Pojo and tells me to write down his name. I tell him ok and we begin by shaking hands.
Duel
1: I get the worst hand ever with United, Axe, some other magic cards, call of
the haunted and Gearfried! How unlucky
is that?! Equips that can’t be equipped
to my only monster! He goes first by
summoning Gemini in attack mode. Then I
go and set gearfried and call of the haunted.
He summons maurading captain and uses the effect to bring out exiled
force. He only attacks with
gemini. I go and use call of haunted on
gearfired and tributed it for summoned skull.
He then uses exiled force’s effect which tributed it self to destroy my
skull.(Sidenote: can exile force’s effect be used on my turn?) So I use premature burial to bring my skull
back and slap an axe on it but saved my united fearing that he would remove my
burial. I attack his marauding captain
and end. Next he snatch steals my skull
and attacks for game.
Duel
2: After he cuts my deck I get the same cards as I did last duel! This duel was extremely short and he only
lost lp with delinquent duo and soon he put fiber jar in attack mode and
creature swapped it with my powered up bazoo with united and attacked jar. I go
and get nothing and he attacks with my bazoo again for the win.
We
shake hands again and we head to where the judge’s were. I walked around and saw some trades going on
and saw Greg,the kid who I gave the Asura Priest to. I saw as he traded it and some other cards for a duelist league
Buster Blader. I didn’t think it was a
good trade but I kept it to myself and went to get some more boosters. I got 3 and inside were reinforcement of the
army, luster dragon and exiled force. I
thought they were good and I put exiled force in my deck by taking out tribute
to the doomed since its pretty much the same.
I walk away to look at another trade and I ask to see a guy’s binder and
he looked at my extra cards. I didn’t
want anything and he asked for a reinforcement of the army as a joke but I gave
it to him anyway. I get hungry and
remember that I still had my ticket and get a drink, cheesburger and
fries. I eat and I overhear that some
kid had injection fairy lily but I didn’t bother since he said he would never
trade it. As I was about to finish with
my meal another kid and asked for a practice duel. I asked to look at his deck and he looked at mine. He had a deck with crappy monsters and they
were in bad condition and on top of that, he had like a 100 card deck. He asked if we could play “8 cards”. I say ok not really understanding. So he starts by drawing 8 cards and I
follow. I notice my deck is a little
smaller then usual and then count. I
only count 36 so I take back 2 cards the kid accidentally put in his deck and 2
other cards he dropped. I count again
and we start over.
Practice
Duel:
Duel
1: so we draw 8 cards again and he goes first by playing a red eyes with not
tribute and attaching it with malevolent nuzzler and another m/t. I go and play pot of greed and he remembers
he needed one so in the middle of our duel borrows it from his friend. I ignore this and continue. I snatch his red eyes and I tribute it(yes I
know we were playing non-tribute) for fiend megacyber and I declare an
attack. Then he says we aren’t playing
lifepoints, that we’re just playing until our cards run out. So I think to myself that this kid tries to
bag in victories by decking out the opponent with stupid rules. I would’ve yelled at his face if he wasn’t a
kid but since he was I forfeited and said, “It’s gonna take too long.” So I leave and get a refill and go look at a
duel. It was the kid who had injection
fairy lily, he could’ve won if he call of the haunted his lily and tributed his
down monster for jinzo, canceling all of his opponent’s traps. But he didn’t. Unfortunately, my mom came in and I had to leave so I didn’t
catch the end of the duel.
