The fiend strike back !!!  Hello, everyone.  Yesterday was another regular Dream Wizards tournament- $6.30 to get in, Single Elimination, 3 TP4 packs for the winner, 2 for the runner up, and 1 for everybody else.

 

 

After trying for a while a warrior deck, I came back to my first love fiend deck .Here’s my deck- It’s changed it from fiend / necrofear to fiend disruption. Just before the tournament I bought a pack of black sleeves, the only problem was that some times cards were stock together and cause me troubles; some of my opponents ask the judge to recount my deck thinking I was cheating with a 39 card deck. (my advice: do not buy the brilliant sleeves ….)

ROUND 1: JM (fiend) v. Joseph (exodia)

Duel 1

Joseph: 8000-6000-5700-6200-6000-Yata lock

Me: 8000-7700

Winner: Me

 

Poor Joseph, he didn’t get a thing he needed => Exodia. I saw him duel some of his friends before the tourney. And he was pretty good to get his exodia out. When I lock him he didn’t want to try to deck me out …I did not take details notes, but I think the 300 life point was ring of destruction on his spirit reaper

 

Duel 2

Joseph: 8000-3400-0

Me: 8000-7000

Winner: Me

 

The second round was very quit, first is play delinquent duo sending one piece of exodia in the graveyard, after play painful choice, special summon Necrofear, change of heat his monster for Jinzo => 4600 direct hit. And I finish him off the turn after. It was nice to duel with him.

 

 

ROUND 2: JM (fiend) vs. William ( Beatdown)

 

Duel 1

Life Points:

William: 8000-6600-4000

Me: 8000-5600-4500-3500-900-0

Winner: William

 

William begin pretty hard by change of hear my archfiend soldier for his Jinzo, On this first duel not so to say, he just continue on to hit me hard and fast …and after a few turn I lost the duel … bouh….

 

Duel 2

Life Points:

William: 8000-6000-4900-1300-0

Me: 8000-5800-2700

Winner: Me

 

On this duel, it was who hit the fastest, unfortunally for me after I summon my Great Maju Garzett, he use magic cylinder on it (for the one who say that magic cylinder is outdated, yesterday I was blast back at least 3 time and it makes me big damage, so it is still very good when play well), but my Great Maju did the job and I win this duel.. ouf ..i  am still in play .

 

Duel 3

Life Points:

William: 8000-4800-0

Me: 8000

Winner: Me

 

This third duel was very fast.. I change of heart his breaker for my great magu garzett => 3200 Atk direct hit... Second turn I play a drop off (save a couple of time yesterday) summon an archfiend soldier and hit for the game.

I was happy to win this duel, especially after loosing the first duel and being not easy in the second but my deck go thru

 

 

ROUND 3 JM (fiend) v. David (exodia)

From round 3, it was some very worthy opponents I have to face. Concerning David, he run a classic exodia deck: goal of the duel = hit him hard and fast

 

Duel 1

 

LIFE POINTS:

David: 8000-7700-3600-250-0

ME: 8000-7400

Winner: Me

 

Once again, great magu Garzett did a good job and the drop off also forcing to discard exodia piece (but he has also an exodia necross in his deck which worried me a little bit  ... but any way nothing very exiting here. He successfully exiled force my great magu Garzett allowing me to special summon my necrofear.

 

Duel 2

 

LIFE POINTS:

David: 8000-9000-1000-8100-6900-5500 => Exodia

Me: 8000-7000-6500

Winner: David

 

On this one, same strategy, but I couldn’t get in my hand any prenagators, and he use a lot of deck thinning like 3 pyramid turtle, 3 nimbles .. just to make short, he succefully summon exodia .. I lost … bouhhh….

 

Duel 3

 

LIFE POINTS:

David: 8000-8100-9100-3300-4300-3400-0

Me: 8000-4200

Winner: Me

 

Once again, great magu did a pretty good job, allowing me to RoD him for 3800 (the only damage I took) ( Sorry my guy, it was for the cause) and winning the game. Other than that, he play some pyramid turtle again and some nimbles. I succeed to do a 5800 direct hit (thanks to UWS) , after he reborn on of my archfiend soldier but did not hit me with ( thanks to sinister serpent), I snatch and steal my Archfiend soldier and tribute him for great magu Garzett.

 

ROUND 4 JM (fiend) v. Christian (Beatdown /hand disruption) (1/4 final)

 

I almost lost by forfeit, I was discussing with an other player with an Elma-exodia deck, I did not heard the judge first call. Christian is one of the top players of the shop. He was using a TER deck before but change for Beatdown hand disruption: I did not take the score so I ask Christian if he can give the score sheet at the end

 

Duel 1

 

LIFE POINTS:

Christian: 1900-5400-4400-8000 ( lp damage)

ME: 1900-7300-7600

Winner: Me

 

This first round was pretty hard and intense. Christian begin very hard he change of heart my archfiend soldier, summon a GAF and has an other monster on the field (breaker without the counter) and he hit me for 5400 lp (Ouch …) after I successfully summon my dark necrofear and I finish him with guess who? Sure great magu Garzett ( I sacrifice dark necrofear for him)

 

Duel 2

 

LIFE POINTS: ( lp damage)

Christian: 200-2900-1900-3700-6200-8000

ME: 1600-1900-3800

Winner: Me

 

This second round was as intense as the first one, Christian is a very good player and each move is important. During this duel, Drop Off saves me two times (one RoD and one snatch and steal). What to say I was so in the game that I did not take a lot of note but the last move save. I was having a drop off ready, my dark necrofear on the field and he draw (smile), I activate drop off (and I smile) and he drop the snatch and steal he was about to use on my Necrofear, leaving him with an empty field … This round was very intense and I was happy to win .. Thanks Christian for the nice duel …

 

ROUND 5 JM (fiend) v. Sam (Beatdown /hand disruption number 3 of the shop) (1/2 final)

 

Since the ¼, I was the only one not having a Classic Beatdown /Hand disruption deck….I ask Sam to keep track of the score allowing me to focus more on my strategy

 

Duel 1

 

LIFE POINTS:

Sam: 8000-7400-6200-6000-5800-5600-5400-3000-600-0 (Yata lock)

ME: 8000-4500-2600-1200

Winner: Me

 

This first round was quite funny for me. Sam begin hard like every Beatdown. He magic cylinder my great magu Garzett..

And hit him hard but fortunately for me when we were both top decking ( not good, I don’t like that) I draw yata and lock him .. He was very surprise thinking he has the lead in the duel (6000 at 1200). And he decide to try to deck me out..very stupid move (just a waste of time) I explain him I still have my monster reborn in my deck , my call of the hunted and my dark necrofear so 3 chance to special summon a big monster .. but he did not believe me ..Sorry guy .. but the crow with necrofear over power you …

 

Duel 2

 

LIFE POINTS:

Sam: 8000-6100-5900-5200-5100-3100-700-0

ME: 8000-7300-7000-5800-4300

Winner: Me

 

This second round was as boring as the first one> Sam was taking too long to make a move … for me no problem, I was in the lead with the LP count so at the limit of time, I was sure to win .but thanks to drop off and great magu Garzett I finish him off … thanks god !!!

 One of the most boring duel of the journey..

 

ROUND 6 JM (fiend) vs. David (Beatdown /hand disruption, the shop champ) (final)

 

I did not take track of the score, but to make short I lost the two duel

I have already play David once and I know his deck but I was unable to stop him this time

 

Duel one: David 2800 / me 0

Duel two: David 3800 . me 0
