[Side Deck]
-Never used it, just a random assortment of 15 weird cards.. meh.
My low-budget but pretty effecient deck..
Before I begin I must say Don Zaloog is the best card ever made. Period. If you disagree you're wrong.
[Tourney Description]
Ok, this wasn't an official tourney, it was pretty much more for fun, as there was no tourney prize or entry fee.. we just pretty much dueled to see who was best, no official rounds or anything, kinda sloppy but ehh, it's Toys R' Us.
[Pre-Tourney]
I got there at 9:30 when the tourney started, even though we didn't start dueling until about 10:15 or so... The dude who was there gave me a free Thousand Eyes Restrict and Machine King, thanks dude. ;D I did some trades, here's my little web:
Traded Ring of Destruction and Magic Cylinders for Chaos Command Magician and Levia-Dragon - Daedalus (Yes, he got the better deal, but I dislike Cylinders and I have 4 rings.)
My Chaos Command Magician(newly aquired) for Berserk Gorilla ( decked ) and Limiter Removal for my soon to be Machine Deck.
My Ring of Destruction for Lava Golem (Kinda regret it but 4 rings was annoying me) down to 2 now. o.o
My Great Maju Garzette for Japanese Don Zaloog (Don Zaruug) which I may add has better artwork then the American one. (Has Revolvers instead of Swords)
So looking at the competition, it wasn't that bad, there were a few couple people, but some of their decks looked unbalanced, oh well, time will tell.
[Duel 1]
Don Zaloog's Army vs Some Kid.. Kind of like a beatdown deck.. pure 1800-1850-1900'ers. and a couple of annoying magics and weird monsters.
1st Duel
The kid was reluctant to duel me at first, quote "I don't trust your deck". I said, "You don't need to trust my deck, it's njot your deck f00"Ok so I didn't say f00 but it was stupid. So I said "It's just an average deck"
I drew my 5 - Snatch Steal - Mystic Tomato - MST - Harpie's - And Some other shiny card
The kid watching said "pfftt average deck" as he looked in amazement. Kinda made me feel special. XD
He let me go first.. kind of weird since I offered him to go first but anyway I set a Tomato and MST and ended.. he set 2 f/d m/t and a monster. I drew and got something.. damn memory. I tributed Tomato for Jinzo and then atked his f.d..Man Eater Bug,, eww.. I only had monster so I ended. He summoned a 7-Colored Fish and smacked me for 1800 (damn brat). I used Premature on Jinzo, but he MST'd it. Late game I played Dark Hole( I had sangan out) Got Don Zaloog, summoned it, reborn another zaloog, and raped him with the 2 generals. He was topdecking but ol' faithful Drop Off's stopped his escape. He got me down to 800 LP by using the Magic Cylinders I traded to him earlier, kinda pissed me off. the pressure was pilling up, I couldn't lose to this dumb kid! -_- I remember raping him with Zaloog again after Exiled Force-ing his face down 4-starred ladybug (or something annoying like that) and I got him down to 0. He yelled after "Damn I almost had you!".
Me-800
Him-0
2nd Duel.
Pure utter rape, I forget alot, key moments was Don Zalog (again) Spirit Reaper saving my @$$ (again) and other beautiful plays, he was top decking the whole duel, he top decked pot of greed, and got Black Luster Soldier (ritual) and It's ritual for it.. LoL What a f00. I raped him with a direct atk from Gorilla as he had nothing else to defend his pathetic soul.. he top decked Blue Eyes, so that's all he needed to use the ritual and summon BLS, that punk! he took out 1000LP of my LP and my precious Gorilla. >: | Aww hell no! I slapped him back with premature burial on Don or Gorilla ( I forgot ) and Tribe'd his Stupid BLS (get the envoy you pittiful f00) and finished him off with the rest of my beasts.
Me - 7200 (maybe less who cares)
Him - 0
[Between Break]
I was thirsty so I ran to the register and bought a Pepsi. I watched all the little rich brats buying booster packs, which they all pulled crap, stupid kids. >_> Nothing much happened, I sat around a little bit and read some Yu-Gi-Oh magazine, which sucked because they thought Dark Magician Girl was the 2nd most popular Yu-Gi-Oh card. Please, just because she's got cleavage doesn't make her any good. >_>
[Duel 2]
Don Zaloog's Army vs Some Asian Kid (Random Deck with no Sleeves, pretty n00by)
1st Duel.
There's not much detail to go into.. I took out his hand early with Delinquent Duo and he knew the effect of the card before I explained it to him (I was surprised as I had to explain it to alot of people). He was down to 1 card, and then Spirit Reaper killed his last retreat off. Fun Fun Fun.. He was topdecking when I used Drop Off (saved me lots today). He was able to Monster Reborn a machine King that I D. Duo'd but Waboku saved me, enough to Snatch Steal his Machine King and pwn him with it. Machine King, Slate Warrior and 2 Spirit Reapers, no appearance by The Main General. =(
Me- 7000 ( From Delinquent Duo for sure, maybe I had less, no one cares)
Him - 0
2nd Duel.
Another rape. I pwned him with Berserk Gorilla, and the like. I know Exiled Helped me, but still no appearances by the Main General (Oh well). =( But either way I pwned him. Tribe also helped me alot, I got Tribe, Don, and Slate all out on him, it was over from there. I think Jinzo showed up, but I pwned him either way.
[Between Break]
Not much of a break here because right after this his little brother (who is better than him) dueled me, I didn't get time to sit on my @$$. =( There was a little 4-5 year old however who came and dueled one of the better players there, it was just funny, he was really cute, and extremely annoying, which is why I will never have kids.
[3rd Duel]
Don Zaloog's Army vs Budget-Beatdown (kind of strange deck)
1st Duel.
This kid was pissing me off. On his second turn he set 4 traps/magics. Of these set all 4 of them were magics, so I wanted to slap him for stupidity, not only did he set Pot of Greed, and Swords.. He also argued with me. Heavy Storm reads: Destroy All Magics and Traps on the field. And he showed me Pot of Greed + Some other crap, and they said "Spell". So he said they weren't destroyed.. if there wasn't an adult there I would've slapped him, as his mom wasn't there. We argued for a while until he gave up and discarded all his wasted magics. 0 cards in hand now, I slapped him in the face with a Slate Warrior and Berserk Gorilla and it all came downhill from there.
me - I never keep track of my damn LP.
Him- 0
2nd Duel.
I honestly forgot everything in this duel, I know Jinzo pwned him. That's about all I remember, sorry. xO
[Between Break]
Well the kid was kind of pissed so he brought his big 16-18 year old brother who was supervising him there along with his other 2 brothers to duel me, the brother sucked even more then the kid, so it wasn't too much of threat, he knew he sucked and was joking through it the whole duel.
Duel 1 and only duel.
Not much to say, I beat him down with Gorilla, but then he Dark Jeroid'd it and I was stuck with a pathetic 1200 atker. I got out slate though and took care of his Jeroid, and this 1800-defence wall thing. I then raped him with 2 spirit reapers, when he understood the effect he told his brother "Damn bro you need to get cards like those" , again everyone acknowledges my 1337ness. xD Anyway I had him down to 0 cards in hand, and I new his deck topdecked like crap, so I let him draw 3 cards instead of 1. (Nice guy I am) He set 2 traps and a monster. I then Harpie'd (Guess I'm not that nice) and got rid of his face down somehow.. and did some direct atking with Gorilla and the Spirit Reapers. He asked to draw 3 again and I said no, I'm not THAT nice. xD I won next turn and he drew 2 more to see if it would've changed anything, it was crap, so I felt a little bitter.
[Duel 4]
Don Zaloog's Army vs Beatdown Deck.
Duel 1
This was probably the most decent duelist (Or at least that I faced) in the store.. the other competition was OK, but not good enough, this gave me a semi-decent challenge. He went first and played Gemini Elf, and a face down. I Tribe Gemini sacrificing some good monster I had intended to revive with Monster Reborn or something like that and slapped him for 1600 I set waboku. He summoned a 1800-er and mst'd my waboku, of course I chained waboku and had to explain to him what chaining meant, he knew what it was, just didn't know it was called a chain, oh well. He ended and I then tribed his monster, reborned something, summoned a Don Zaloog, or Reborned one I forget.. he has 5 cards in his hand.. So that's a 20% chance of hitting any card.. what card does Don Zaloog get? Raigeki.
1337 |)0|\| Za|00G |>\/\/|\|4G3
Oh yes, I love Don Zaloog, it was the only useful card in his hand and the duel was easy from there.
Duel 2.
There was none, he didn't want to duel again so I won by forfit or what ever.. meh doesn't matter, probably would've got pwned by the General. ;D
I won seeing as I had defeated anyone who had won any duels, so the dude (Same dude as before, I don't call everyone "dude", just this guy xD) there gave me a Sangenjin (Nice little tournament promo and Traid Bait wink wink) and such.. my mom arrived and then I left after playin around with those big @$$ frizbee hover disks things. xD Fun Fun Fun.
