Local Tournament – 7 Jan 2012
There was a local tournament today; being the last tournament of the holidays I’d figured I’d go. Anyway, on to what I was playing. I brought 1 deck with me (FrogLancer, Currently my favorite deck) but before the tournament I bought a Dark World deck (Got a great deal). So I decided to play Dark World, or more specifically Skill Drain Dark World.
Skill Drain Dark World:
3 Grapha
3 Snoww
3 Broww
2 Beiige
3 Dark World Dealings
2 Dragged down into the grave
1 Dark Hole
2 MST
1 Heavy Storm
3 Gates of the dark world
1 Card Destruction
2 Bottomless trap hole
2 Skill drain
2 Mind Crush
1 Deck Devastation
3 Reckless Greed
1 Trap dustshoot
1 Torrential Tribute
1 Solemn Judgement
1 Return From the DD
It was a good size torny, 5 Rounds Top 8
Round 1: Zain (Some kind of Karakuri Plant)
I remember this game vaguely; I remember getting a good hand at some point.
I won however, score being 2-1
Round 2: Achmat (Chaos thing I guess)
Game 1 he kept attacking me with spirit reaper and at some point discarded a Grapha, which activates Grapha’s second effect; I randomly selected Gorz from his hand. It was special summoned to my side, later I tribute his Gorz for Deck Devastation Virus. I admit I misplayed, in my opening hand I had a Dark Hole, I used Dark World Dealings and discarded Snoww attempting to search, but I had forgotten about Thunder Kings effect, I should’ve played Dark Hole first.
Game 2: Not a great hand, he won this game.
Game 3: Quite a good hand (I think I had dragged down into the Grave and 1 or 2 mind crush)
I won, score being 2-1
Round 3: Mutaalib Gaffoor (Dino Rabbit)
I opened up horribly (Dark World and their consistency) with all s/t and 1 Grapha, which he DustShooted. Game 2 wasn’t much better; he played D. Fissure, Detached a material off Leviar, Special Summoning Rescue Rabbit. Then said the detached card goes to the grave, I said I knew, he said I was the only person he played that knew that ruling.
Loss score being 2-0 to Mutaalib
Round 4: Taariq (agent fairy)
He opened really badly; I got a peek into his hand via Dragged Down. I won game 1. He thought he got to choose what to discard! But I said no, I choose.
Game 2 was tighter, he had a badish hand (2 P.o.D, Hyperion) He did shine ball shenanigans. I won this game somehow can’t really remember.
Score being 2-0 to me.
Round 5: Uqual (Watts)
He was playing a deck that I’ve been building. Watts. I Deck Devastation Virused him (Which was truly Devastating), he discarded 5 cards, and lost his field. He packed.
Game 2, Deck Dev got him again. I won
Score being 2-0 to me
Top 8: (in order of most points to least)
1.Mutaalib
2. Alex (myself)
3. Yaseen
4. Taariq
5. Achmat
6. Zain
7. Wesley
8. Dax
I played Wesley; I won the first game mainly because he used gottoms to discard a couple Dark Worlds from my hand. In short I won Game 1. Game 2 was his, I drew quite badly.
Game 3 consecrated light locked me down, I needed to get a discard card to discard Grapha in order to destroy it. That card never came
Loss 2-1 to Wesley.
Top 4:
Mutaalib
Wesley
?
Taariq
I didn’t watch these games too closely, Mutaalib won his game and Taariq won his.
Leaving Mutaalib (Dino Rabbit) and Taariq (Agent) in Finals! (Congrats to both players)
Mutaalib won the match! Thereby winning today’s torny!
Congrats to Mutaalib playing Dino Rabbit!
