Round

Me (Squirreldown) VS

Derek was
a good sport and fun to play against. He played some beatdown monsters and
some hand disruption.
Duel
1
Derek went first and played
some cards facedown. On my turn he lightforce sworded my Trap Hole. I set
Solemn Wishes, Imperial Order, and Skull Lair. I Tttd his defensive
alpha magnet. I attack with a Killer Squirrel. His turn, he plays Swords of
Revealing Light and ends. I activate Solemn Wishes . I draw a Mystical Space
Typhoon and use it. I attack with my Squirrel. Derek plays an Opticlops and
kills my Squirrel.GO KILLER SQUIRRELS! I get 2 more Killer Squirrels. He plays
Raigeki. I Activate Imperial Order. On my turn I useTttd but I forgot about
Imperial Order. Oh well. I end. He plays a monster in defense. My turn, I
don't pay for Imp. Order. I Raigeki. I set the Trap hole I got back and Reborn
his Opticlops. I tribute for a Skull. I attack. His turn, he gets nothing so I
win.
Winner: Me
~7000
Duel
2
This duel was really long. I
will make it short here. The final play I did was to flip Cyber Jar. I got
Gumo and La Jinn, while he got Neo and Opticlops. I change of Heart Opticlops,
Skull lair Neo, Reborn Neo, and attack with all my monsters (and his monsters)
to win.
Derek gets
his tournament pack and he gets a crappy rare, a Dark Elf, and a crappy
common.
I have
lots of time before the next round and try to get some trades with no success.
I just look at some comic books in the store and at single card prices ($46
for Cylinder? Are you insane?!?). Finally, the second round
starts.
Round 2
Me (Squirreldown) Vs guy in
his 20's (Beatdown/Cannon Soldier/Defensive monster killers (Mad sword beast,
Fairy Meteor Crush, Spear Dragon)
His
deck was very big but he made it work. He had 4 Magic Cylinders, 3 Jinzos, 3
Blue Eyes Toons (The Magic Ruler Ones) 5 Exodia, and 3 of each Destiny board!
He didn't use those in his deck though (Except for his 5th cylinder and 4th
Jinzo) He also had the new Secret Rare, Yata Garasu. I was afraid of Yata so I
sided in a Prohibtion for it and a Messenger of Peace for his Beatdown cards
after duel one.
Duel
1
I was really nervous but I
had good luck. I got solemn wishes out on turn 2 to keep healing. I also got
squirrels. I killed a lot of his beatdown cards with Skull Lair. In the end,
he Snatch Stole a Killer Squirrel. I Imped, but he 7 Tooled. He then tributed
for Jinzo. On my turn, I ragekied, Reborned Jinzo, summoned Fishie, and won. I
was really surprised that I beat him.
Winner:
Me! Yay! ~4000
Duel
2
I sided in MoP and
Prohibition For 2 Magician of Faiths.
I started with a squirrel. He
played a monster in defense. I attacked with my Killer Squirrel and hit Cyber
Jar. He got bazoo, Kycoo, 2 Goblin Forces. I got Gumo, MEB, and Ladybug. He
Dark Holed. I saw he had a reborn from Cyber Jar, so I Jammed. He attacked.
Some more stuff happened. I did a real stupid move here. I played a Killer
Squirrel in defense when he had Mad Sword beast out. He put United We Stand on
Mad Sword beast. I had skull lair, but only one card in my grave. He plays
scapegoat. I use skull lair to kill one. He attacks me for 4300. Luckily, I
still had about 6000 thanks to Solemn Wishes. I Raigeki and put Cyber Jar
down, which he attacks with Kycoo. He got cannon soldier, I got La Jinn. He
plays another Scapegoat. He launches 2 goats and plays swords of light.
My turn, I tribute for Skull, but he has Magic Cylinder. He plays change
of heart but doesn't attack ( He saw the mirror force I picked up with Cyber
Jar) He launches Skull and 2 more goats. I have no monsters and 400 life. He
wipes me out by launching cannon soldier.
Winner:
Him ~3000
Duel
3
This duel was the longest. He
used Cannon Soldier with goats again. To cut it short, after my Cyber Jar
flipped, he got Kycoo, while I got 2 Gumos, Raigeki, and Opticlops. It was
still his turn, but time was called. I only had 2800 because of his goats and
Soldier. He still had 7600, so he won. Darn it!
Winner:
Him:7600 With me at :2800
I got my
tournament pack, I got Goblins Secret Remedy, Darkfire Dragon, and Bladefly.
Boo hoo.
