Hello one and all! It’s Shugotenshi Kintaro once again. Now I know I don’t many fans… or if any at all, but to those who noticed, I never submitted a report for last Sunday. Well, that’s cause I was getting prepared to enter into the college life. For the past three years, I’ve been working hard to prepare for Medical Radiography training, which I officially entered into it last Monday, and I’m very VERY proud to be in it. And to those who are wondering what Medical Radiography is… it’s X-ray. :P



So, with moving into a new apartment, dealing with dozens of forms to get through, figuring out bus routes, and trying to find my way around a massive college (along with paying lots of money for books and courses…. Stupid spod-heads…), I am ashamed to say that I couldn’t make it to my tourney. Luckily, I managed it all out and now Sunday’s my day to cheer out and go to the tourney. J



A lot of the usuals were there, except for Matt and Brad (from now on, I’ll be calling everyone by their first names, or if they have a Pojo name, their account/nickname if I know it), who couldn’t make it out due to transportation problems. Or maybe it was money problems… or maybe it was cause they slept in… Ah! I can’t remember! But it was legit, that’s all I know. :P



M, who is Absolute Xero on Pojo and will be called such from now on, was still working on his Mechs, and by the end of the day, he had 3 Cyber Dragons! I’d like to know how the hell he does that! Last time I checked, there were barely any Cyber Dragons pulled! But I did miss a week, and a week’s a long time.



I had bought the new YGO DS game, and with my new game (which kicks a lot of arse!) and my new set of Silent Magicians, I decided to try something new out. So, here it is, my proto-type of my Silence deck:



Monsters: 17

1x Silent Magician Lv4

1x Silent Magician Lv8

2x Silent Swordsman Lv3

2x Silent Swordsman Lv5

2x Shining Angel

1x DDWL

3x DDA

1x Breaker

1x Tribe

1x Sangan

1x Morphing Jar

1x Jinzo



Magic: 17

1x MST

1x Heavy Storm

1x Snatch Steal

1x Premature

2x Level Up!

1x Pot

1x Graceful Charity

2x Book of Moon

1x Lightning Vortex

2x Enemy Controller

2x Scapegoat

2x Nobleman of Crossout



Trap: 8

1x Mirror Force

1x Torrential

1x Ring

1x Ceasefire

1x Call of the Haunted

1x Royal Decree

2x Good Goblin Housekeeping



Total: 42



Side deck: 15

2x Dark master Zork

2x Ritual of the Dark Master

1x Cybernetic Magician

3x Manju

1x DmoC

1x Cyber Jar

1x D. Duo

2x Mataza the Zapper

1x S. Serpent

1x Dust Tornado



Now, this is a proto-type of my deck. I still need one more Silent Mage Lv4, and there are still some kinks to work out, but for something I literally threw together, I felt the deck wasn’t half bad. And, just in case, I could switch it up with good ol’ Zorc! I don’t care what you say, Zorc’s awesome if you can keep the advantage. But, see, I was daring today. Well, daring or stupid, depends on how you look at it, I suppose. Main purpose of this deck? To win, duh! :P Get Lv5/8 out, and keep pressure on the opponent with negation.



Anyway, not much happened before the first round, so let’s just get to the meat and potatoes of this, shall we?



Round one:

Me (Silence) Vs. Tyler (Rock Defense)



Figures. Last time I played, it was against this little guy’s Dad in the finals, Jan (aka J from my last tourney report, but using letters is boring, and it’s only first names anyway). Now, I’ll admit, there are a lot of kinds who can play only somewhat well to bad. This kid… he ain’t one of them! He’s good! Trust me, Tyler can duel with the best of them! I never knew what kinda deck he would be running, but if I know Jan as well as I think I do, it could have been any of his former decks, but that was still a wide range, as he had run Chaos Control, Horus, Rock defense, and several other things that escape my mind.



(Stupid Biology… making me forget about important stuff like deck types and replacing it with stuff like the 9 Process of Living Organisms…. Who needs to know that! And in case anyone’s wondering… I can ring them off the top of my head).



Match One:

Me: 8000-7100

Tyler: 8000-6600-4300-2000-0



Well, this was strange. We both had gotten tribute hands with few usable cards (I found out afterwards), and Tyler had gotten in a quick hit with a Medusa Worm and I had run into a minor defense hit as well. But it wasn’t long before I had SS Lv5 out, and was hitting him constantly with it. Even Tuskyonimi wasn’t enough, thanks to a CotH and a Mirror Force. A quick, but lucky win.



Match Two:

Me: 8000-6100-5300-4600-1200-0

Tyler: 8000-7900-7400-5500-4700



He had high defenses, VERY high defenses. He had an Aztec Statue out, along with Chorus of Sanctuary as well. I couldn’t do much damage to him at all, and when I could kill a mon, it was either a Medusa Worm or a friggen’ Dummy Golem! He had his tribute material, got out TWO Guardian Sphinxes (yes, two), and it wasn’t long before all my defenses were shot down and it was a quick kill. What really kills me was my next card was Silent Mage Lv4, and I had Lv Up in my hand. I could of put up some type of fight! :P



Match Three:

Me: 8000-6000-5300-4800-4000-3500

Tyler: 8000-7000-5300-3600-2600-0



The first two turns had begun, yet both of us had already taken over 2000 damage each. Tyler started out with Aztec and CoS again, but I wasn’t going to let him get away with it this time. I played my set Ceasefire, exposing his Aztec (this is how I found out about it), which also flipped up my DDA, summoned DDWL when the coast was clear (MSTed his facedown card) and attacked his Aztec with DDWL, causing 2000 damage to me, but opening him up for a clean hit with DDA. The rest of the match ws me trying to get through his defenses, and keeping his Sphinxes in his hand (if he had them), causing small piece of damage to us both, until I managed to get through with SS Lv 5 and Lv3 for the game.



Now that was one hell of a match! And a long one two, apparently, as the second round was just about to begin!



Me: (Silence Deck) vs. David (Weenie/Beatdown/Burner)



Match One:

Me: 8000-7200

David: 8000-6400-4000-0



This was a really quick match, and nothing more. Tribe hit him, got killed, Prematured Tribe, then snatched for a Jinzo. Game over. :P



Match Two:

Me: 8000-7500-7000-6500

David: 8000-6400-3800-1200



Pretty much the same here, except he managed to lock me down for a bit with a combo of Gravity Bind and Solar Flare Dragon, getting the bits of damaged done to me. A decree, a Tribe, and some other attackers later, and it was game. Sorry, but I can’t really remember the match too well. :s



The Duel had ended pretty quickly, so my friend and I stepped outside and had a chat while we waited. It was then I received a pack of cards from the random door prize. Stupid CRV… I wanted a Ultimate DDMaster, not a Miracle Fusion. Ah well, at least it was free. :P



Duel Three:

Me (Silence) vs. Chris (Water deck)



You ever see one of those guys who plays his cards REALLY quickly and seems to tries to get away with forcing you to not to chain? Well, this guy was something like that. He wasn’t too bad about it, but it had happened a couple times. One of his friends was a lot worse about it though, but that’s a tale for another time. But, I don’t enjoy duels like this, cause it takes the fun outta of it, intentional or not



Match One:

Me: 8000-4050-3250-2350-2250-0

Chris: 8000-7800-6200-3700-3600-2600-1200



This was a really close match. I remember him getting very early advantage with a rush of Bugroth, Abyss Soldier, and something else that escapes my mind. A quick Vortex turned the tide and I slowly managed a comeback with DDAs and a SS Lv5, but it wasn’t good enough, as I ran into a Mirror Force, and lost control from there for a loss.



Match Two:

Me: 8000-7750-6950

Chris: 8000-7000-5400-2800-0



A quick rush of Ceasefire and two SS Lv5s and a pumped up Silent Mage Lv4 (which was so friggen awesome!) gave me a quick win. Man, Silent Magician rocks! :D



Match Three:

Me: 8000-6500-7500-5500-3500-1500-0

Chris: 8000-7000-6600-5200



This lose was due to two reasons:

One – I had nothing but tribs in my hand

Two – Abyss + S Serpent. :P



There really isn’t much to say. The only card I had to play, monster-wise, was Breaker, which was snatched away, but a heavy storm got it back for a SS Lv5, then the Abyss Solider hit the field and I was done.



That was pretty much it. A two outta three record was pretty good in my mind, and I did have a chance to get into the finals. And though I didn’t care, I hoped I did and placed well, so I could maybe get some packs, or even better, use the packs value as credit to get a tin! :P But alas, I never made it, but I think I placed 5th or 6th or something. Meh. You either make it or you don’t, so it doesn’t really matter. J



Afterwards, I was talking to Xero and he said he might be getting the Yugioh DS game as well, and if he did, he might trade me the Magician’s in it, which I thought was really great! I just hope I have enough cards that he wants for trade. And to make it better, he even gave me and my friend Mark a ride home. Now that’s what I call cool and something to respect from a guy.



Anyway, here’s the Props and Slops.



Props:

- Doing well with a proto-type deck.

- Buying a Horus Lv 6 Super at the flea market afterwards for 4 bucks. :P

- Starting up my DD deck with an Ultimate DD Survivor and a DDMaster

- Jan’s son proving that age isn’t always a factor in skill. And for Jan spending so much time with his kid by doing something they both like.

- Xero for being a standup guy.

- Having my first ever DS duel with the judge at the flea market! :P We both had junk decks, but it was a good reminder of the good ol’ days, when you had to work with what you had, and it was fun as hell!



Slops:

- Not getting a tin. I want Gilfford, dammit!

- One guy constantly complaining that he lost his duels due to not having Nobleman of Crossout in his deck. There’s having a rant about it, then there’s going too far with it, man.

- Being poor… :P



Well, that’s it for this week. If you have anything to say to me: love or hate mail, questions or comments, or whatever, feel free to email me at ShugotenchiKintaro@hotmail .com
