First of all I would like to apologize for my recent hiatus regarding tourney reports. I wanted to keep up with it, but unfortunately my other duties kept me from participating in tournaments for about a month. Although I was able to keep up to date with the web and forums, I had not gotten a chance to duel until about two weeks ago, where Deathjester (Yes, DJ from the Pojo articles) approached me about starting a new organization. I heard his pitch, and agreed to help him in his endeavors, and as such I am now a member of Team Fallen, Orlando Division.

I suggested this tournament to be our debut. Since we normally play at the Gathering Place, I thought this would be a true test and a great place to find new talent as well as new competition. This would be the first tournament in which we would debut as Team Fallen Orlando, so I wanted it to be in a neutral setting. Deathjester and his brother were in Jacksonville judging the Best Team in Jacksonville tournament, so it was up to us to make a strong showing. Tom Katt, David Hunter (newest member) and I went to Colosseum of Comics to compete in the Hobby League Tourney.

SOI was legal, and given the poor showing that my deck had the day before (Saturday at the Gathering Place), TK and I tweaked the deck. Here is what I ran:

1st Round: Me vs. Chris H.

1st Duel: This was quite amusing, and the only match I remember each detail about. They put me at the last table with this 8 year old kid who then starts freaking out because he had left his deck in the car. His mom runs out to get it, and makes it back and gives it to him, and then I remind him to say thank you to his mom. So we shuffle and draw and I let him know he can go 1st. He draws and plays Wave Motion cannon and sets two more S/Ts and ends. I set Mystic Tomato and end. He draws and then activates Jar of Greed and sets a fourth S/T. I draw, flip up Tomato and attack him directly. I set both DDWL and Bottomless and end. He summons the Creator Incarnate and I activate Bottomless, and he Fissures my tomato. I summon Sangan and attack. He draws, summons Exiled and uses his effect on Sangan. I search out Morphing Jar (my hand was low). He then passes his turn. I draw, summon DD Assailant and attack but he activates Gravity Bind, and when I chain Decree he MST’s (great move). I set the Jar and Snatch Steal and end. He Draws and passes. I draw the Frog, and set my other two S/T’s (Brain Control and Sakuretsu) and flip the Jar. I draw some good stuff, MST his Gravity Bind and attack with DD Assailant and the Jar and pass. Then this is the strangest turn of events. He draws, does some math, and is like “DARN I can almost WIN!” so I start to worry about why I was taking it easy on this kid. He summons Luster Dragon, plays Tribute to the Doomed on my facedown DDWL, and prematures for Red Eyes Black Dragon. Then he launches Wave-Motion for 4000, attacks D.D. Assailant with Red Eyes, and Morphing Jar with Luster Dragon, and I am down to 900!! He’s all about “If I only had the Inferno Fire Blast spell card…” and the funny thing is that he is absolutely right. I had misplayed and was taking it easy, and almost got schooled. On my turn I flip Snatch Steal for his Luster and game.

Me: 8000-4000-2300-900

Him: 8000-6600-5600-2200-1400-0

2nd Duel: He tells me I can go first. So I summon Sangan and set Bottomless and end. He activates Wave-Motion Cannon (CRAP again), summons Marauding Captain, and uses his effect to special summon Luster Dragon (which I bottomless). He attacks for 200 damage and I fetch Mystic Tomato. With the Wave on the field, I do not have time to play with the Frog; I have to take him out quickly. I summon Tomato and attack his Captain. He Fissures and ends. I activate Reinforcement and search for DDA. I summon Assailant and attack for 1700. He draws and passes. I draw another DDA and summon and attack for 3400. He launches Wave for 3000. I draw and attack for game.

Me: 8000-7800-4800

Him: 8000-7800-6100-2700-0

2nd Round: Me vs. CJ S.

1st Duel: Now I move to the top table to duel the friend that came with the kid I played in the last round. I figured that this kid was going to want some revenge for me bumping out his buddy (this kid is either 8 or 9, but I refuse to take him lightly). I don’t remember much, but I do remember telling him he could go 1st, and he started with WAVE-MOTION CANNON (what is this, a re-run?) and two more set cards. I play Heavy and set Treefrog and end. On his turn he sets an S/T and ends. I draw, tribute Treeborn for Airknight, attack, and draw a card. On his turn, he sets a creature and ends. I cannot remember what else I did, but somehow I did 5200 damage in one turn. He never touched my lifepoints.

Me: 8000

Him: 8000-6100-900-0

2nd Duel: More of the same. At least I did not see Wave Motion, and again I was able to build up a huge swing in LP.


Me: 8000-6800-6400

Him: 8000-7200-1800-0

3rd Round: Me vs. Paul S.

1st Duel: Now this is one of the better duelists there, and the funny thing was that he said he recognized me from a pre-release. I didn’t remember him, but he remembered me and my deck (Horus). That is when I remembered him, and we shared a good laugh. This was an intense duel; unfortunately it was so riveting that I did not take any notes. What I do remember is that in this duel, I got him down to 300 points with a double LV6 hit, but could not level up, nor could I push through any more damage. In the end an unblocked Don Zaloog gets me.

Me: 8000-7500-7200-6900-5200-3500-2700-1200-0

Him: 8000-7200-4900-300

2nd Duel: This one I am determined to win, but the TO is determined to stop me. An early swing in LP because of a Solemn Judgment does me in, as the match is called on time (with no end of match procedure). Oh well, at least I made top 8.

Me: 8000-7600-3800-3300

Him: 8000-7200-5700

Interesting, this opponent was very courteous and friendly after the match, although his friend was over my shoulder all throughout game 1. However, when I said something to his friend, so did he let his friend know to back up because it was a very good duel. Very classy, and very knowledgeable of the game. We were a step ahead of each others’ moves, and the slightest swings in advantage were the key moments in this game. Great duel.

So I was bounced out of the top 8 on time, however Tom Katt represented Team Fallen very well with a 2nd place finish (incredible duels). Tom then presented me with the Parallel Rare Heavy Storm to add to my Deck, with a smile letting me know that we will be back to get more, and perhaps I will be able to join him in the top spot.

Team Fallen finishes with a combined record of 8-2, with two members in the top 8, and one in the top 2.

My record: 3-1

Tom Katt: 5-1
