And now for this week... a Chaos deck. I understand that this deck is not
quite original, but no one here has one Chaos Emperor Dragon or Black Luster
Soldier (but plenty of the rituals, mind you). So, I decided I wanted to take
advantage of the situation before they start to run rampant a little more before
I make more of an original deck. The tourny had about 50 people again, and 16 of
them in Beginners, while the rest of us in Advanced. Well, now that that
is said, this is the deck:

Strategy
Hmm... as if you didn't nkwo already, this deck tries to use Magical
Scientist, Hand Control, Field Control, Yatagarasu lock, and Chaos at the same
time... a major reason I am not a fan of this type of deck. I much rather like
decks that are strightforward to achieving one goal, rather than have a lot of
cards doing wierd things all at once. However, I do realize the power of this
deck, but then again, there are many 'simple' decks that can break chaos
decks, just look on the Pojo message board for some ideas.
Also, you may notice that there are all THREE Chaos Monsters in
the deck, heck, I dunno why, just did. Also, there is no Jinzo. After looking it
over and trying to bring down the monster count, the head judge and I agrred
that Jinzo was the best choice to take out because it did nothing to help me,
and we were right.
PreDuel
I walk into the store thinking about what kind of deck I should make, and
was thinking that I should make a silly deck. But ah ha! My friend Zack was
there, when he said he wasn't going to go, and he lent me his deck. I threw in a
much of cards and changed the deck around a bit. Yay, I have a deck, but the
deck-type wasn't really what I had in mind. -_-
Duels
This time I remembered to write down their names and the deck names.
Remember, all the names of the decks are by thier owners... So maybe the report
will be a little more interesting.
Yohan V. Jake - Exodia
Remember my Exodia deck from last week? Well, at school I traded this guy
for a lot of his cards for half of my Exodia deck, then he goes on to destroy
the deck and try to make a BEATDOWN Exodia deck... but he really cant' call it
beatdown becaus ethe beatdown mosters were lacking... -_- Also, another
funny story is how I call these particular cards of Exodia a whore. Zack
originally bought it on eBay, where he later traded it to someone at school, who
traded it to me, then I traded it to Jake, then later in the day, Jake trades it
to some other kid... HAHAHA, its like a $1 Whore indeed.
Basically I killed this guy, and the points will show. I'm the first score,
and my opponent is the second score.
Duel 1
8000
8000 - 5000 - 0
Duel 2
8000 - 7500 <~~~~ I took damage from a stupid GIANT GERM!!!
GRR!!!
8000 - 2200 - 0
One word: Chaos
Yohan V. Matt Murren - Exodia/FINAL Beatdown
Another Exodia deck. Hahaha, if they only knew about my Exodia deck I
played last week, they might have stood a chance. Exodia decks are easy prey for
a control deck, that's probably why Exodia's aren't really dominating the
current environment... Anyways, this match was easy
Duel 1
8000
8000 - 4900 - 0
In Webster's Dictionary, Chaos is defined as "A state of utter confusion"
... and that's all it was, on both of our parts. Matt played Final AND Exodia.
Not a very logical mix if you ask me. (btw, you cant have a piece of your FINAL
destroyed to have all the lettrers taken out of your deck to thin your deck
about 15 cards... it doesn't work that way) I was confused by the fact anyone
would want to make a deck like that, and Matt was confused on how I killed him
in two turns.
Duel 2
8000 - 7750 - 5350
8000 - 6900 - 6100 - 3700 - 700 - 0
I asn't able to hit him fast like I did the previous duel. OMG I took my
first damage from attacking a Wall of Illusion, then I have my Dark Magician of
Chaos turned against me -_- . But to no avail. I win.
Yohan V. Rosaanne Gonzales - Yata-Wind
A very interesting deck type, focusing around Wind-type monsters and
strengthening them and finishing with Yatagarasu for the lock (which can get up
to a 1200+ ATK).
Duel 1
8000 - 6200 - 5200
8000 - 7000 - 6900 - 5900 - 4200 - 2500 - 0
I wasn't expecting too much from one of my friend's sister, but she had to
have had a good deck to get this far, so I figured she had a beatdown deck.
Well, I was a bit in the ball park, but I couldn't quite figure out the deck
until she summoned Bladefly. I was like WTF and she giggled at the site.
Rosaanne gave me quite a run for my money... for one turn, lol. Then I turned
the duel around and destroyed her.
Duel 2
8000 - 6900 - 5900
8000 - 7000 - 5100 - 4000 - 5000 - 1500 - 0
If you haven't been keeping track of the scores, then at least notice the
big drops on the last few numbers. Behold the power of Chaos. On all the Duels,
Chaos finished everyone. They are vicious creatures with no mercy... scarry.
ANyways, Rosaanne fought hard again, but couldn't hold on to her offenses and
defenses. I win, yay!
Yohan V. Orion Frantz - "Yata That Gets Murdured to Yohan" Hey, a deck name
that I actually like! LOL
Orion is a very young kid who is a great Duelist. He playes an aggressive
beatdown/control deck, but I am not sure whether or not he has any Chaos
Monsters... he didn't have to change the play them!!! BWAHAHA!
Duel 1
8000 - 6500 - 4100 - 3100 - 700
8000 - 6500 - 4100 - 0
Wow, we both get ringed, then he attacks me with Jinzo, and I Change of
Heart his Jinzo and attack him, then I defend... get the snot kicked out of
me... and trying to get something with Mirage of Nightmare (one of my favorite
cards!). With 700 LPs left, I finnally get a DARK and LIGHT monster in my
graveyard. I play Monster Reborn, get Dark Magician of Chaos out, get Snatch
Steal, activate it on Jinzo, and Bring out Black Luster Soldier. WIN!! Wow, I
was litterally shaking the last turn... I was so scared I was about to
lose.
Duel 2
8000 - 7000
8000 - 5300 - 0
I nice draw of Confiscation let me anticipate every one of Orion's moves,
and not to mention the quick summoning of Dark Magician of Chaos, get back
Moster Reborn, summon some more monsters, and kill :)
Yohan V. Ricky Lind - "Yohan is a B**** deck"
Okay, this is the finals, but I am not too worried because Ricky isn't THAT
much of a threat, however he does manage to get his hits in.
Duel 1
8000 - 7000 - 5500 - 4800
8000 - 6500 - 6300 - 4600 - 2900 - 0
I was kinda pissed about this Duel because the judge ruled Giant Orc wrong,
and i even showed him that his ruling was wrong with the NetRep file... but he
stood with his decision. And after the duel he lectured me about back-talking
him (bad me). Anyways, Ricky, as I expected, wasn't too difficult to beat. I was
a bit disappointed that Matt didn't make it to the finals, but it didn't really
matter. This was an easy Duel.
Duel 2
8000 - 7000 - 2700
8000 - 7400 - 4000 - 0
This one was close. We exchanged a few blows, then Ricky brings out two
Slate Warriors. With one Slate Warrior myself, I top deck Monster Reborn,
bringing out my Dark Magician of Chaos. It went all downhill for Ricky
there.
Yay, I win, with a 5-0 record.
Conclusion
Hmm... I tried to condense this report as much as possible because it was
noted to me that the other one was too long. However, this one seemed a bit
lacking... just goes to shwo you that beatdown/control/chaos decks are BORING!
It's a LOT more fun to play original decks. At least everyone should try it out
once, and see how much fun it is. And trust me, there ARE fun and original decks
that haven't been found that can make many decks have a run for its own money.
That is also the fun in creating these kinds of decks. Well, until next
time.
Well that's about it, for any critisism, praise, suggestions, or whatever
else, my e-mail is
