TLM Sneak Preview

May 28,2005
There were too many people to count at the preview, so I can't
post that.
Anyway, hello, I'm GearPaladin, and this is my first
tournament report. It covers my dueling at the TLM Sneak Preview with my
friend. Well, I'm not going to bore you any longer, so here's my
report
8:30 A.M- Woke up(like I do every day)
10:30- Went to pick up my friend,"Raven".
12:30 P.M- Arrived at the hotel(it only took 35 minutes to get
to our destination from Raven's house, the additional time was spent getting my
dad's girlfriend's car from the repair shop)
1:30-Left Sheraton
Now here is a breakdown of my deck, and what I got in the
packs.
Well first, I had to find the Convention Room(it took about 10
minutes of searching). I eventually found it, went in, and found the table to
sign up. I did that, got the promo card, my Upper Deck registration card, and my
five packs. This is what I got (the rares)
1st pack-Kozaky's Self-Destruct Button(trap)
2nd pack-Ultimate Insect LV7(super rare)
3rd pack-D.D Survivor(1800 attack)
4th pack-Spell-Stopping Statute(trap)
5th pack-ANCIENT GEAR GOLEM!(I promise you, I really got
this)
Golem Hero Deck x26
Tribute monsters-2
Ancient Gear Golem
Ultimate Insect LV7
Normal Monsters-5
E-Hero Sparkman x3
E-Hero Clayman x2
Effect Monsters-8
D.D Survivor
Des Wombat
Dummy Golem
White Ninja x2
Ancient Gear Soldier
Guardian Statue
Aussa The Earth Charmer
Amazoness Chain Master
Spell Cards-3
Impenetrable Formation
Double Attack
Gift Of The Martyr
Trap Cards-7
Pikeru's Second Sight
Grave Lure x2
Level Conversion Lab
Rock Bombardment
Spell-Stopping Statute
Kozaky's Self-Destruct Button
With my deck put together, I began dueling for the 6th pack.
Duel 1-vs Raven
My friend had a rock removal deck(he pulled Megarock Dragon from one of his
packs). This duel was basically about him destroying my monsters with his two
Ancient Gear Beasts(one being an Ultimate Rare), and me being defended by my two
Claymen. He found a way to break my DEF through Gift Of The Martyr, and he
attacked with a whole bunch of monsters for the game.
Record:0-1
Duel 2-vs New Player
Even though he stacked every card he pulled into one deck, he did fairly
well. But, it ended for him when I used Level Conversion Lab to summon
Ancient Gear Golem at 3 stars to attack him for the game.
Record:1-1
Duel 3-vs Drew
I started off using Pikeru's Second Sight on his second turn. That card
showed me that he drew a Reshef into his hand. So, I kept setting monsters to
deal with his Millenium Scorpion(it got up to 4000 ATK when I used Dummy Golem
to bring it to my side). He eventually summoned Reshef, and used Gift Of The
Martyr to sacrifice his Sparkman to boost Reshef's Attack to 4100(I think he did
not have a Spell card in his hand, because he didn't use Reshef's Effect). He
attacked all my monsters for the next few turns starting with Millenium
Scorpion. However, I somehow won, all thanks to LCL helping me to summon UI LV7
to destroy Reshef(he did not last long after Reshef was destroyed).
Record:2-1
Duel 4-vs Another New Player
I admit he was terrible, but being the good sport I am, I let him destroy
some of my monsters. I eventually summoned AGG to attack for the game.*sigh*
another boring duel:(
Record:3-1
Duel 5-vs Fred
Now this was an excellent duel. It is long, so I'll explain the important
parts of the game. He started off at an advantage because of his Millenium
Scorpion(Ultimate Rare). It got up to a freakin 7000 ATK before Guardian Statue
sent it back into his hand. I did get out UI LV7, but he used Wynn to take it
over. He then removed 9 Rock Monsters from play to summon Megarock Dragon at
6300 ATK. I truly thought I was beaten, until I saw my Aussa f/d and my set LCL
from the beginning of the duel. I was hoping to draw something good(I muttered
"Come on, deck") and BOO-YAH I drew my Ancient Gear Golem. I used LCL to
bring Golem down to a 2-star monster, summoned AGG, flipped Aussa, took control
of his Megarock Dragon, attack UI LV7 with AGG, and used his Megarock Dragon and
Aussa to attack him for 6800 freakin DAMAGE!
Final Record:4-1
After that, I got my 6th pack, and pulled NOTHING. Even though me and Raven
had to go(Raven won 4 and lost 1 very close duel) we had fun. So we headed back
to his house, getting Dairy Queen along the way(I got the Mushroom Swiss
Grillburger*yummy*).
The pros:
1.Ancient Gear Golem
2.That great duel with Fred
3.Mushroom Swiss Grillburger
4.The duels
5.Amazoness Chain Master
The cons:
1.Having to leave early
2.Not getting a Megarock Dragon, Vampire Lord(RDS promo), and Insect Queen
for my Ultimate Insect LV7(that was a stupid trade, I'm really suprised he would
do it)
3.Nothing else.
Well that is it, this Sneak Preview was much better then the FET one(I went
there with Raven and pulled CRAP from my packs). So, see you all around.
