Round 1: Uqail Abrahams (Machina Gadget)
Game 1:
I get early control from a a Laggia, and he has to use one too many cards to get rid of it. He doesn't get to summon a Machina Fortress.
Game 2:
This was probably the best game of the tournament. I went through more than 3/4 of my deck and I even used Pot of Avarice, yet he was hanging on! The game was sealed when I set Solemn Judgment (he had a back-row) and I had Cyber Dragon in-hand. I passed and he summoned Utopia (which I had to Solemn). I drew and summoned a Guaiba, and that got the Bottomless, which meant I was free to summon Cyber Dragon and contact fuse for the game!
1-0
Round 2: Ethan ??? (Six Samurai)
Game 1: He goes full-out and there are only 3 vanilla monsters in my hand.
Game 2: Fossil Dyna does some work.
Game 3: He sees a Laggia for his first time and can't do anything.
2-0
Round 3: Alex Murie (Dark World)
Game 1:
He seems to get things going a little bit, but it slows down and I remove his only Grapha which he sees with Dimensional Prison. A Laggia the following turn sealed it.
Game 2:
He just never seems to be drawing into anything that he can do something with. I didn't even get an Evolzar monster on the field.
3-0
Round 4: Dax Watling (Inzektor)
Game 1: His Inzektor monsters seem to get going until I activate Smashing Ground and summon a Laggia to him almost top-decking.
Game 2: He doesn't really draw an answer to an early Laggia and can't do anything.
4-0
Round 5: Yasuichi Fujiwara (Inzektor-Wind-Up)
Game 1: I go first and summon a Dolkka and pass. He passes a few turns without doing anything and I keep attacking with my monsters. He finally draws an out and I Effect Veiler what he does.
Game 2: Same scenario. His deck just couldn't handle the Dolkka.
5-0
