Psycho Shocker Android Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 My first regional of the format. So yeah I leave at 3 am with john slawvey and his son mathew along with yannick dubeau and james neuman for Toronto (we are in montreal). After a long ride we arrive at the MTCC where the tournament is held i get the cards i'm missing (1 mali 3 teleport) for my deck and after the player meeting round 1 starts. Round 1 vs little city (played by an idian guy) game 1I get an horrible hand and when it finally looks promising he flips royal oppression to seal the deal. game 2I side dust tornadoes.DDraw, Mali, Teleport, Krebbons, DAD...GG game 3I see something new from his deck, skill drain. He had an honest in his hand because he was thinking about ramming alius into my dad but he went for rota captn gold for skyscraper (good move BTW but he gave me info which could have been bad for him). I manage to dust oppression but he draws perfect into another one I should have sided royal decrees. Round 2 vs geartown syncro game 1Bad Deck LOL, he tells me he has drawn all of his lv 8 monsters so I crush him. game 2he gave me crush card again i could have won without it (mali dad teleport) but i decide to play it just for teh lulz. Round 3 cornarch game 1I draw he dustshoot sees my god hand returns stratos. i ddraw malicious and teleport for stardust ddraw dasher and DAD. GG game 2I storm reckless and something. His deck is just stalling i atk spy he sacrifices one for raiza. After reckless' draw lock end i top ccv he tries to soul exchange my face down necro gardna and loses PMD and his on field raiza to crush along with a caius the turn after. Anyway i had gone through half of my deck without seeing anything big. It was about time i get this or dad because cornarch is just a boring deck and with the trip i had i was about to sleep in the middle of a duel LOL. Round 4 vs Yannick Dubeau/counter fool (yeah like if i wanted to go to Toronto to play vs montreal people) game 1He swaps my colossal fighter. I have the hardest time of my life trying to get rid of this and i end up losing too many cards. We all know what happens when you have less cards then counter fool. He wins. game 2I faint to side decree and go for dusts. LOL he sides twisters and typhoon he ended with a lot of dead cards. He solemns DAD but i have mali in grave with another DAD in my hand. game 3This one his tight he tops freed to kill my goyo and then i try to comeback but he has herald of the orange light to kill my dad he discards honest for it. I think i can do something next turn to kill his renmaining monster but he tops another honest and there's nothing I can do with my grepher. That was such a lucky draw. Then again I have my invite for nats and not him I probably would have offered him the win for something. (I'm 2-2 at this point I could drop but I have a chance at packs and yannick needs me for tie breaks) Round 5 vs Omar Beldon (2nd at can nats 2008) (stardust skill drain burn) game 1I have storm and breaker he doesn't have stardust. GG game 2I don't see decree he opens up with ddraw, mali, krebbons for stardust. I take a wave motion cannon for 7000 ouch. game 3Decree just kills him. What I don't like though it's that he knew he was loosing when he saw decree and he didn't even try to win he just wanted to lose quick so he could go team duel. I was expecting more challenge. Round 6 vs Rian (old dad without teleport) game 1I draw perfect he doesn't have crow. DAD, teleport, teleport right after I had wing blasted his back row discarding malicious. game 2I get crushed but this deck isn't really crush weak. I rota stratos syncro colossal fighter. when he dies I take back stratos search for dasher. crush card ends. I start to draw like crazy and play DAD FTW. Before my last round i learn that yannick and the little city guy dropped :( tie breaks are going to be awfull. Round 7 vs calvin tsang/GB (yes he's back) game 1This one is retarded i start krebbons set. He goes storm brain control breaker for goyo. i d draw mali teleport krebbons for colossal fighter. he sets a lot of cards. i top krebbons so i go with stardust. he has nothing after and i reborn goyo on top of that. (syncros after syncros)(i made a mistake i could have went for game when i had stardust but i was so sleepy i missed it i was kinda lucky he didn't top an out but he said there was nothing he could do since i had stardust out) game 2he plays anti spell fragrance and starts playing mind games trying to scare me into not setting my spells. I didn't had many choices here so i set reborn and d draw and manage to survive with mirror force (thank god his face down wasn't solemn judgement). Next turn i play my spells but he had shadow imprisonning mirror. yeah i lost this one. SIM+ANTI SPELL=NOT FUN AT ALL game 3I side a bunch of trapsI bottomless 2 laquari (so no herk for him) while hitting with krebbons 2 times. he test tigers secutor and hit my sangan then bring out murmillo and bestiari. I search dd crow to try to go for dad because at that point he only had monsters becuase he had used all his traps to protect that play. He crows my crow and set solemn (didn't matter cuz i have 2 big monsters and he can only stop one). I have an explosive hand i just need something to discard a malicious because i had dad and caius. (grepher rota d draw or allure into one of these). I top d draw and draw storm. I storm his solemn and play my DAD for the win. He's a cool guy, his ban was stupid he ripped a giant poster at a big event. He plays really well and was able to guess many of the cards I had (it seems to be part of his mind games). Even if he talks a lot while playing it put a good end on that tournament. (after thinking about it he might be a bit hyper active which would explain the poster thing) So yeah I ended with a 5-2 score saving my face. It's a shame yannick and my round one opponent dropped cuz it ruined my tie breaks and screwed my chances at packs (finished 23rd almost last of the 5-2's) My deck : 41 monsters : 212 DAD2 caius1 dasher3 malicious 1 stratos1 grepher1 breaker1 psychic commander3 krebbons1 sangan1 fear monger1 necro gardna (will switch this for doom lord)1 reaper2 dd crow spells : 153 allure3 ddraw3 teleport2 rota1 mst1 storm1 reborn1 brain control traps : 51 ccv1 mind crush1 torrential tribute2 wing blast side 152 vanity's fiend1 snipe hunter1 night assailant1 mirror force2 dust tornado2 BTH3 light imprisonning mirror3 royal decree extra 131 gyzarus1 reaper on the nightmare1 sanwitch1 avenging knight parshath2 red dragon2 stardust1 thought ruler (i need another one)1 goyo (will be at 2 when tin comes out)1 colossal fighter (this one is insane)1 magical android1 junk warrior Played james neuman (he 1-2 drop) who had lightsworn and thrashed him between the rounds yep lightsworns can lucksack but i still don't think they are competitive.

Psycho Shocker Android Posted September 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 what kinda deck won ? I don't know we left right after standings were posted but the results will be posted soon on PES' website. But they don't play top 4 so you can't really say that there was a winning deck (unless all top 4 played the same LOL). There were a lot of tele-dad in top 8 and almost everybody in Toronto playing tele-dad netdecked dale... wow all the way for nothing =/ your deck seems really solid as well oh well better luck nextime man :D Well it wasn't for nothing i got to test the deck on a competitive level but yeah some packs would have been good.

JesusofChaos™ Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 Ranking in Swiss? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psycho Shocker Android Posted September 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 Ranking in Swiss? 23rd it's mentionned in the report above my deck. I lost round 1 and the 2 guys I lost to dropped from the tournament so it didn't help. Overall I'm still satisfied with my performance. The 2 decks I've lost to are decks that I weren't prepare to face mostly because it's so early in the format I didn't had time to practice vs little city and counter fool. That day I got to play vs a lot of different competitive deck (even between rounds I played vs tele-dad, GB and lightsworns) so I can't say the trip was worthless.

JesusofChaos™ Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 Were the cutting top 8 or 16? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psycho Shocker Android Posted September 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 Were the cutting top 8 or 16? Top 8 Dale is the only 5-2 that got in. He went 5-0 before losing his last 2. Lazaro ended up 9th (he lost to dale in round 5). We were 108 people it was so close to being 8 rounds. Since we only got 7 rounds we had too many people with the same score, so it was hard. We had to rely on tie breaks to do top 8 or at least to finish in top 16 to get packs.
