March 10 2007

I think there was 147, there were an odd number because there was a by the first round Hey everybody, Matt Sparama-cino from team Winscar reporting back from a typical regional in Pennsylvania. There were actually a few Jump finalists; Marc Glass, and I think there was someone else named Brian who fared well in a Jump but I’m not sure.

Round 1 -Table 72 -Matt vs. Kevin(dim. Fissure/bazoo) Game 1 Kevin was a real good player, from team Carnidge I believe. It was very hard to tell what he was running. He only got to play one of his dim.
Fissures, and maybe one bazoo. I got a first turn confi which hit a snatch steal. It all went down hill from there for him; my spy’s abused him as did thestalos. He did pull off a morphing jar but it ended up helping me out more then him and he couldn’t recover.

Me 8000-7000
Kevin 8000-7700-3800-0000

Game 2 I saw the dim fissure so I sided in spies but they weren’t enough and a timely NoC hit my spy and bazoo just trampled all over me. I got owned.

Me 8000-5900-2700-3200-1600-0000
Kevin 8000-7000-4900
Game 3 I don’t even remember what happened it was real close and then his hand just disappeared. I used a confi and thestaols to take all his monsters and leave his creature swap useless, which left him pretty locked down. He pulled out morphing jar but I was too ahead at that point.

Me 8000-7000-6200
Kevin 8000-7700-6200-4700-2000-0000 1-0! Woohoo!

Round 2 Table 24 Matt vs. Daryl (crazy stall burn) Game 1 Well I hadn’t seen a burn in a while, so this was fun. It was pretty close and I used up my mobius’ to take out most of his life points, and he was short 400 life points in burn. Later he told me that if he waited 1 more turn I would have had one more card In hand and with two barrels that would have been the 400 that won it.

Me 8000-7000-4800-2800-300
Daryl 8000-5600-800-0000
Game 2 I had never been so happy to side deck in my Des Wombats. I never drew a Mobius and he had wave motion cannon that was on 5 when I summoned Wombat. He couldn’t kill it, and his wave motion cannon was on turn 11 when I rushed for game.

Me 8000-5600
Daryl 8000-11400(hummingbird!?)-9000-8700-5700-6100-4500-2000-0000 2-0!!!

Round 3 Table 15 Matt vs. Brandon(6th samurai) Game 1 it was an interesting take on 6th S. it didn’t have Shien’s, but it abused command knights. Over all monarchs just countered. He set a monster I summon zaborg, etc.

Me 8000-7300-6600-6500-5700
Brandon 8000-6400-5800-3400-1300-800-500-0000
Game 2 I felt bad, this deck had potential(apparently it did because it managed a huge fluke in beating Marc Glass in the 7th round) but this round he didn’t get a thing. He never got two at the same time, which is a problem. Luck just wasn’t with him.

Me 8000-7800-7000-6700
Brandon 8000-6500-6200-3400-2800-1700-1100-0000 3-0!!!!!!!!!

Round 4 Table 3 Matt vs. Jeff (tier 1 Bazoo return) Game 1, I saw my first card trooper of the day, but I wouldn’t be my last.
He played an early return which did some massive early damage. I did a little damage and finally attacked with sangan which put him at 1900 and he couldn’t pull off a game winning dimension fusion. Pretty close duel I come out on top.

Me 8000-3500-2700-1900
Jeff 8000-7400-3700-2900-1900-0000
Game 2 we play card for card until I stopped drawing my monarchs. I had a hydro in his way that he needed to get rid of, and it took him three rolls with snipe hunter to kill it, which blew his hand right there. Frog helps out the monarchs over the next few turns and I pull it out. Snipe hunter….what happened?!?

Me 8000-7000-5800
Jeff 8000-7500-6600-5400-600-0000 4-0!!!!! (Jeff was a great guy and will
go on to win the next 4 and clinch the over all 4th spot with a 7-1 record)

Round 5 Table 3 (again) Matt vs. Paul (strike ninja chimeratech) Game 1 I could tell this deck was amazing. He future fusions to get a whole bunch of darks, but never plays overload. Instead strike ninja comes out and really messes me up. Couldn’t recover.

Me 8000-7200-6200-2100-1300-0000
Paul 8000-5600-4200
Game 2 I don’t even want to talk about it. Really close, I just spent all my cards killing his hand and his chimeratech plot, but then he’s just like, “snatch steal for game?” so yeah, no comment

Me 8000-7600-6800-6000-5000-4600-3700-snatchstealforgamegah!!!!!-0000
Paul 8000-5600-3900-3100-4100 4-1

Round 6 Table 7 Matt vs. Steve(Chimeratech)
Game1 well, the judge calls the beginning of round, a turn in “wait! Table 7 deck checks!” my opponent was up so he wasn’t too happy. So anyway I guess when they deck check they put then in order, because I drew 5 traps. Snipe hunter ran all over me, I did a lot of damage but overload came out and it was over.

Me 8000-6000-0000
Steve 8000-6100-5300-3800
Game 2 I was sooo up it bugs me. My hydros were tearing up and my monarchs were working. I guess they all worked a little too well, snipe hunter took out my traps then future-overload killed the hydros for game. Again.

Me 8000-7600-0000
Steve 8000-4000 4-2

Round 7 Table 28 Matt vs. John (lets just say he didn’t even know what he was running) Game 1 hmm, he used a cyber dragon, asura priest, and a sangan. I couldn’t tell what he was running and later he told me he didn’t know himself.

Me 8000
John 8000-4300-0000
Game 2 same thing, I got to see his deck, stratos, wildhearts, kinda of an agro deck that never attacked, im not sure. Same as game 1 really

Me 8000-7500
John 8000-6300-5700-5400-4800-0000 5-2! Right about now I need a win
badly

Round 8 (final round) Table 17 Matt vs. Carolyn(monarch) Game 1 right now, I am ranked 11th with a 5-2 record, I figure if I win I might bump up to 10 or 9. She was ranked 29. Anyway, I admired her monarch deck, she ran granmargs and no thestalos, and they worked for her. All she played were monarchs, no spies or hydros, and she eventually ran out.

Me 8000-6600-3200
Carolyn 8000-7000-4600-4300-2700-1100-0000
Game 2 she took control of this game quick but made one mistake. I search out spy with sangan, with a spy in my grave. I set the spy, and she has cyber and tomato. Cyber attacks, and shes like, 1400damage? And I threw out my third spy and she tought I was kidding. I guess shed never seen 3 spies before. I won two turns later with a a lucky combo of hydros and e.con. she was a great duelist and I hope she sticks to monarchs.

Me 8000-7200-4800-4000-2900
Carolyn 8000-7000-6000-5000-4800-4400-0000 6-2!!!

Top 8

I, nor anyone on my team had ever top 8’ed before, and I didn’t believe it when I got 6th with a 6-2 record. About two minutes later the judge says there have to be corrections to the rankings and I almost fainted.
Fortunately it didn’t affect my 6th seat.

So I played someone who said his name was bob, but I found out later it was brian, long?lang? I don’t remember. My friend was under the impression he was a Jump finalist, but I never found out. He was running a tough bazoo return with troopers, snipe hunters you get the idea. I was just glad to make top 8 and I didn’t go any further than that. I got my duel mat and packs and my team and I went to burger king where ironically enough everyone from the regional was there.

Id do props and slops, but everything was so great. I got an invite to the nationals through some crazy chain of events that I didn’t understand. The only slops were that my teammates didn’t make it with me. A bunch of our decks were dysfunctional, but they’ll be a lot better for the Philadelphia Jump. Thanks for reading and hope to see everybody at the Shonen Jump!
