RegnR8's Fabulous Fairies
Tournament Report for August 7, 2004
Hi all,
Welcome to this week's tournament report. If you noticed, I haven't posted
any tournament reports for several weeks, simply because there wasn't anything
interesting to report. Since Chaos decks are currently running rampant all
around, I couldn't see wasting my time writing and posting a tournament report
that says: I lost in the second round to a Chaos deck or I lost in the first
round to a Chaos deck or everybody used a Chaos deck and the duels were all a
race to see who could get out their Chaos monsters faster than everyone else.
Blah, blah, blah you get the picture.
Well, enough with the rant. On to the tournament!
Sports Cards and Collectibles
Fayetteville, Ga
$5.00 entry fee. You
get a pack for entering
Swiss style (sucks)
15 to 20 people were there I
think.
1st place gets 3 packs
2nd place gets 2 packs
3rd place gets
nothing, because if you finish third, you don't deserve to get anything!
;)!
We got there in time for the usual large French Vanilla with cream and
sugar from the Dunkin' Donuts. It just isn't a complete dueling day without the
coffee! I did a good bit of trading. I got my 2nd Amplifier for a Helpomere.
Whatever. Traded some DD Dragons for my 3rd First Sarcophagus and a Diffusion
Wave Motion. I traded a whole bunch of other stuff, too. Right now, I'm trying
to finish up collecting some cards and I am trading off all my extras. Please
don't email me for trades because I won't do them over the Internet
though.
We practiced dueled with some new people I hadn't seen before. They didn't
really know how to play that well.
I've been fiddling with a FTK Magical
Scientist deck for a week or 2 now, and I used it to duel this guy. I got an FTK
both times. He and his friend wanted to team duel so, I used my beatdown and my
friend used his water deck. One of the new guys activated Toon World and then
summoned Toon Summoned Skull and Blue Eyes Toon Dragon without tributing for
them. I told him he could not do that and he argued he could. I tried to explain
the rules to him but he started to get angry, so I let him have it. It didn't
matter, because I MST'd his stupid Toon World on my turn anyway. We won by a
hefty margin.
Anyway, enough with the preamble....Here's the deck I used this week.

Round 1
Fairies VS A kind of wierd Beatdown thing
Game 1
He won the die roll and I asked him if he was going to choose to go first
or second. He began drawing his cards and said, "I'll tell you after I see my
cards."
I said, "You'll tell me now, and we have to cut each others decks
before we draw." This made me mad. I absolutely can not stand people with an
attitude. This guy was a punk. He chose to go second, after I cut his cards and
before he drew.
I set Imperial Order, Waboku and Fiber Jar on my turn. I really don't like
to set Fiber on my first turn but, I did it anyway.
He summons a GAF and doesn't attack. OK. Whatever.
I flip Fiber on my turn and don't really get much. I play PoG and then
Painful Choice. He gives me Joan with the Painful Choice. I summon a
Shining Angel and attack. I set something (I don't remember) and end my
turn.
He plays Giant Trunade, Raigeki, summons Reflect Bounder and attacks. He
sets a M/T card and ends his turn.
I play Heavy Storm, getting rid of a Blast with Tribute. (? - Someone
actually uses this card - ?) I Fissure his Reflect Bounder and set Banisher of
the Light, a MST and end my turn.
He activates Black Illusion Ritual and brings out Relinquished! That was
not expected. He special summons Relinquished in face up defense, (that was
dumb) and sucks up my face down Banisher. Duh.
I summon DD Warrior Lady, MST my Banisher and attack his Relinquished. I
let him keep it in his graveyard and did not use DD's effect to remove it from
play.
On his turn he discards Shinato for Tribute to the Doomed, getting rid of
my DD Warrior Lady. What? He has no hand now.
I summon WotBF and attack.
He draws and sets a M/T card.
I MST his Mirror Wall. I summon Sangan and attack him with Sangan and
WotBF.
He draws and summons Ghostrider Gustaph, removes two magic cards to
increase it's attack to 2000 and attacks my Sangan and I get a Mudora.
I kill him next turn when I summon Mudora, Change of Heart his Ghost Rider
and attack with both and my WotBF.
Game 2
He chose to go first, before he looked at his hand. Ha.
He set a monster and 2 M/T cards.
I set a Shining Angel and Imperial Order.
He flips up Twin Headed Behemoth and equips it with an Axe of Despair. Grr.
An Axe on a Twin Headed Behemoth! Ridiculous. This guy is going to pay becasue
NO ONE beats me with stupid equip cards!! He attacks my Shining Angel with it
and I get another one and special summon it to the field. He ends his
turn.
I play Raigeki and kill his retarded Axe'd up Twin Headed Behemoth.
Punk. I attack him with the Shining Angel and set another one.
He plays Pot of Greed and I activate Imperial Order. He brings back the
Twin Headed Behemoth in defense position and sets a M/T card.
I don't pay for Imperial and Fissure his Twin Headed Behemoth which, he
Magic Jammer's. I flip up the face down Shining Angel and he Trap Holes it.
Urgh. I attack with the other Shining Angel and he activates Mirror Wall! Smeg!
I take 300LP damage. I bluff by setting Premature Burial. That was a stupid
turn.
He Harpie's my Premature Burial. Hee hee. Way to waste a Harpie's. He
tributes Twin Head Behemoth for a Shadow Ghoul? Oooh, so scary! His Shadow Ghoul
is at a huge 1700 ATK! He attacks my Shining Angel and I get DD Warrior Lady
with it's effect.
I summon a Mudora at 2200ATK. He RoD's my Mudora and I Monster Reborn it. I
attack with the Mudora and DD Warrior Lady.
He sets a card and ends his turn. I summon another Mudora and attack his
Penguin Soldier with DD Warrior Lady. I chose not to remove it from play and he
puts the 2 Mudoras back into my hand. Big deal.
He set another monster card and ends his turn. I kill him next turn with DD
Warrior Lady and a Mudora.
Punk.
RECORD 1-0
2nd ROUND
Fairies VS Skill Drain/Beatdown
GAME 1
I chose to go first and set a Shining Angel. He summons a Grandora, gaining
1000LP and attacks my Angel and I get another with it's effect. He sets 3 M/T
cards and ends his turn.
I activated Heavy Storm and he chains Waboku and Reload. The other card I
got rid of is Mirror Force. I Dark Hole his Grandora and he loses 2000LP. I set
a Sangan, turn my Angel to defense position and end my turn. Stupid
Waboku.
He sets a monster and 1 M/T and ends his turn.
I flip up my Sangan to attack and he RoD's my Angel. Crap. Oh well, it's a
fairy in the graveyard for my Mudora. I attack his Mask of Darkness with Sangan
and he get's Mirror Force back.
He summons Goblin Attack Force, sets a M/T card (Mirror Force) and ends his
turn.
I don't get anything. I set Call of the Haunted and end my turn.
He summons an Archfiend Soldier and attacks my Sangan. I get Fiber Jar with
Sangan. He attacks with GAF and I Call of the Haunted Sangan back. He ends his
turn.
I draw another Shining Angel and set it, ending my turn.
He tributes GAF for Dark Ruler HaDes. Crap. I'm in trouble. I have to get
rid of HaDes quickly. He attacks the Sangan with Dark Ruler and the Angel with
the Archfiend Soldier and I can't do either card's effect. That's bad.
I draw Pot of Greed. That's good. I get Harpie's Feather Duster and Change
of Heart. Hmmm. This is only going to stall a little, it's not really going to
get rid of HaDes. I doubt he'd activate Mirror Force if I Change of Heart his
HaDes. I go ahead and MST the Mirror Force, Change of Heart his Dark Ruler,
Monster Reborn his GAF. I attack his Archfiend Soldier with the GAF and then
attack directly with Dark Ruler. That was pretty good. I then set a Banisher of
the Light and end my turn. OK. I can stall for a little longer until I get
something to take out his HaDes.
I'm actually winning at this point. It's 6600 to 2750, but I'm not counting
my chickens, yet.
Well, the usual happens. One Raigeki later and I'm sitting with 2650LP
left. Raigeki should be banned and I'm going to welcome it!
One attack and a Ceasfire later that sacks me for 1500Lp, I lose.
The duel was really good up until the Raigeki. Then it all went downhill
from there.
GAME 2
Move along.....Nothing to see here....He just kept bringing Goblins and
Giant Orcs out turn after turn and I couldn't compete with the fire power. Then
I got stuck with 2 Airknights in my hand with no way to get them onto the field
and I simply got run over.
RECORD 1-1
ROUND 3
Fairies VS Chaos
Well, It's my first Chaos deck of the day. Yawn. I wonder if I'll be able
to actually make a couple of moves before one of the Envoy's pop up and kill me.
I'm going to have to change my strategy a little to try to remove as many of his
monsters from play with my DD Warrior Lady and Banisher of the Light. I will
side deck 2 Nobleman of Crossout in between duels as well.
GAME 1
This doesn't start off too well when he activates Imperial Order in
response to my Pot of Greed. Oh well, I set a DD Warrior Lady and end my
turn.
He attacks my DD with Reflect Bounder and I remove it from play. OK. One
light monster out of the graveyard. My only concern now is Dimension
Fusion.
He gets Cyber Jar onto the field and I play Dark Hole to get rid of it. I
know he has a very bad hand when he uses Call of the Haunted to get his Cyber
Jar back.
I Fissure his Cyber Jar, summon Mudora, Monster reborn WotBF and attack
with both. I set a Waboku and end my turn.
He summons Injection Fairy Lily. Some people just won't give up on this
card! Why is Injection in a Chaos deck? That makes no sense to me. Anyway, he
attacks my WotBF and boosts. I do not activate my Waboku and get Fiber Jar just
in case. I feel like I have the game pretty much in hand, but you never
know.
On my turn, I summon another Mudora and activate Waboku as an offensive
weapon. I love doing this! I kill Lily and attack with the second Mudora. I set
another Waboku.
He Premature Burial's Lily and summons a Mad Dog of Darkness. He attacks
with the Mad Dog and I activate Waboku. Hooray for Waboku!
He can't pay for Lily's effect anyway so, on my next turn I attack her for
the win.
GAME 2
This was a freaky game for a while.
He summons Injection Fairy Lily on his first turn and Snatch Steals my
Sangan. I respond with Waboku to the Snatch Steal.
I set WotBF and a Waboku on my turn and gain 1000LP from the Snatch
Steal.
He tributes Lily and Sangan for a DMoC and gets his Snatch Steal back. I
get Fiber Jar with Sangan's effect. He attacks my WotBF and I activate Waboku.
Hooray for Waboku! He activates Swords of Revealing Light.
I Snatch Steal his DMoC. Ha.
We're both at 10,000LP when he Snatch Steals his DMoC back! Ha. Ha. It's a
Snatch Steal-o'rama! He summons Yata Garasu and attacks my Fiber Jar with DMoC!
Much merriment and mirth! After the Fiber Flip he activates SoRL again! Dang
it!
I get Fiber Jar again in my draw and set it.
He attacks my Fiber Jar on his turn! Wahhahaha! He plays Pot of Greed after
the Fiber Flip, sets 2 M/T cards and ends his turn.
I summon a Shining Angel and he activates Ring Of Destruction. I Monster
Reborn the Angel in defense position and set a MST.
He plays Graceful Charity and discards 2 Mask of Darkness, then he
Premature Burial's one. What!?! This is great, I know he has no monsters in his
hand if he's paying 800LP to get a dumb Mask of Darkness on the field! Then, he
Snatch Steal's my Shining Angel! Oh no! Not Snatch Steal again! I MST it! HA! He
plays Raigeki! His uber-powerful Mask of Darkness attacks me for 900LP loss!
Argh! He sets 2 M/T cards and ends his turn.
I draw Pot of Greed and activate it. He doesn't respond. I draw Heavy Storm
and play it. I get rid of his Premature Burial, Magic Cylinder and Mirror
Force!! Ha! This is so sweet! I summon DD Warrior Lady and attack.
He sets a monster card and ends his turn.
I summon a Shining Angel, attack his Magician of Faith with DD Warrior
Lady, removing both from play. He get's Raigeki back with MoF's effect. I attack
with the Angel.
He plays Raigeki, sets one M/T card and ends his turn without summoning a
monster because he has no cards in his hand.
I draw Harpie's Feather Duster and play it, getting rid of some useless
card he had set as a bluff. I summon Mudora at 1900ATK.
He can't recover
after that and I summon a Kaiser Seahorse on the next turn and attack for the
win.
FINALS
Fairies VS Skill Drain/Beatdown AGAIN?!?
For some reason, the Mantis software dropped me and no one could figure out
why. This Swiss Format Mantis stuff is really screwy and I prefer a simple
single elimination format but hey, I'm in the Finals so, whatever.
After much discussion, it turns out I have to face the person who beat me
in the second round for the Finals. I thought that was kind of stupid since, if
I won, we would be 1 and 1 verses each other. I guess it has something to do
with the point system, I don't know. Anyway, I wanted to rematch him anyway
because I felt pretty confident I could win.
Well, there isn't much to report for this match. Both games I was able to
get every card I needed, while he struggled to get monsters on the field. It was
sort of a total reverse of our previous match when he totally killed me. I was
able to get a couple of Mudoras up to 2400ATK and pounded him pretty good. The
first game was a lot closer than the 2nd. I don't think he did any damage to my
LP at all the second duel.
The Fairies are VICTORIOUS this week! I get my three packs for winning and
pull a Strike Ninja, Manticore of Darkness and Reload. Not a bad haul for this
week!
That's it for this tournament!
Of course, comments are always welcome!
Keep on dueling till next time!
