Another Locals Report

[ihop]

i went with my elemental hero deck

[spoiler=Rounds]
Round 1 (Rabbit):
1- I open Stratos 2 backrow, next turn I summon Alius and Spark and then the turn after that I summon Thunder King and Hero Blast his Sabersaurus that wants to crash. Pretty easy game really.

2- He storms my backrow and goes Tourguide into Leviathan which is annoying but next turn I have Dark Hole and then just summon Alius, set Super Poly and he's reduced to setting. At one point I run into a Reaper so I just make Butterfly and win.

1-0

Round 2 (Not very good Mirror Match)
1- I simply draw better than him and he didn't draw the one Super Poly he mained over me and eventually he makes Blade Armour which I Bottomless for game.

2- I draw and awful hand and he goes Thrasher/Alius into Blade Armour and just keeps getting damage in on me. Eventually I draw a Snowman and he attack it with Alius rather than Blade Armour so I destroy Blade Armour and keep Snowman. Next turn however he summons another hero and makes Butterfly for game.

3- I Miracle with Chevalier into Nova Master and keep beating over the cards he keeps setting. Eventuall he draws Dark Hole which kills my momentum and he starts to build up a field and almost gets game with Blade Armour. In the end I'm on 400 to his 300 but I topdeck Snowman again, set it and manage to stall out just the one turn I needed to draw Super Poly which then wins me the game. This guy is not playing Sparks.

2-0

Round 3 (Wind-Up)
1- I remember this game vividly, I open Stratos, he sets a monster which I'm afraid is Sangan so I summon Thunder King and he D-Prisons it when I attack. Next turn I summon another Thunder King, attack the set card because I now have 3 good backrow that I think would save me. I attack the card with Stratos which is annoying as it turns out to be Magician. I kill it, and next turn I attack again with Stratos and he summons Trag on 3000. I instantly make Utopia Main Phase 2. He then copies Magician with Trag, summons Rat into Magician, makes his own Utopia, attempts to crash into mine and I discard Honest. This takes him totally by surprise, next turn he storms my 3 backrow but can't do anything else, so I reborn his Utopia, overlay for Ray and attack for game.

2- I draw awful and he just keep poking me until I finally lose, and find out the next card I was topping was the Alius I needed to make my Miracle and Super Poly live.

3- He looks at his opening hand, bursts out laughing and summons Rabbit against my Stratos. Next turn I draw Thunder King, attack the Rabbit, he banishes and I end. He then summons Shark, makes it 3 and goes for Zenmaines with Rabbit, which I let through. The next turn he random MSTs my compulse which I obviously chain, but he goes for Rat into Rabbit and makes Zenmaines again, which I super poly with and he scoops after I show him Reborn and Miracle. Turns out he opened 3 Shark, 2 Rat and a Rabbit and then topped into 2 MST and a Dust Tornado.

3-0

Round 4 (Agents)
1- He opens Tourguide into Sangan and passes, I Duality and the last card it reveals is Thunder King, which I instantly grab and attack Sangan, at which point he draws for turn and drop his hand of 2 Maxx C, 2 Shine Ball and Hyperion.

2- He opens Venus and Gachi but I have compulse for Gachi. Eventually I Miracle into Shining, fearing Hyperion, but he Dark Holes my Stratos+Shining but I have Starlight. He then does summon Hyperion, attacks Stardust, pops Shining in main phase 2 but it involves him leaving me with Stratos and next turn I summon Alius, make Excalibur and win.

4-0

Round 5 (Mermanteans)
1- He opens godly and I can't do anything against first turn Megalo+Gachi. At one point it looks like I might come back when he summons Gungnir (Megalo is gone by now) on my Maestroke + Starlight but he only discards 1, then uses that to pop the Starlight, so I lose.

2- I Super Poly his Megalo and he can't really recover from that, especially after I Warning his Moulinglacia.

3- He opens Moulinglaica, Salvage, Avarice and Megalo but can't find a way to get started and I win easily.

5-0

Top 4 (Saberzauls playing Agents)
1- I open 4 backrow and he can push and push all he wants but can't find a way past.

2- He opens shocking and he has one chance to drop Hyperion or lose and I bottomless.

Top 2 (Mermantean guy from round 5)
1- He opens really good again and I can't deal with the massive amounts of damage I take from Megalo.

2- He stars by discarding Moulinglacia and set-card popping thing to make Megalomon my Thunder King, I attempt to negate and the whole bloody room has a 10-minute debate on whether Thunder King negates Megalo. I'm convinced I'm right as it looked to me like it's an inherant summon and the discarding is a cost. This goes one for ages (we have no real judges) but eventually some guy points out that apparently the semi-colon in the effect means it's an effect to summon and not a summoning condition so it goes through. It didn't really matter much anyway as he doesn't have anything apart from Megalo.

3- He opens shocking again and the only threat he makes is getting a Linde with Sphere, which I Super Poly dead for pretty much game.

I win 2 Turbo Packs and pull nothing D:

but oh well I'm pretty chuffed to have gone x-0[/spoiler]

[Zeppeli Gyro Supreme]

Afraid to attack after he popped his rabbit? Also, the whole point of Megalo is that its summon is an effect. If it wasn't, there would be no point in running it in the deck.

I opened 3 Hyperion BLS and Shine Ball. When I topped Venus I was like but even then I can't do anything... That was a really bad game haha.
