Well, I slept in and missed my chance to enter early.
Great.
It's been a while since I've taken a Round 1 loss.
But anyways, I decide to enter, because I had a new fun deck I wanted to try out.
It was LIGHT Beasts, and while it did well in testing last night, I wanted to see how well it would do in a tournament.
~~~
Round 1: Loss
Well, I was late, so I couldn't do much about it.
Round 2: XX vs. VayuSworn
Game 1: Never, ever, summon Voltic Bicorn against this deck. It ended up costing me the game because I milled 14 cards for him. =\
Game 2: Voltic Bicorn failed me again. I really should synchro for Scrap Archfiend instead.
Near the end, I was in control with Yellow Baboon and Elephun facedown and Rykos removed, but he tops a Sirocco after I had killed one the previous turn. No cards to stop an attack means I lose due to him having a Vayu in his grave. Sirocco pumping for the lose.
Round 3: OO vs. Exodia (?)
Game 1 & 2: It was easy wins really. This was the only time where I got a chance to bring out Thunder Unicorn and Voltic Bicorn in one duel.
Round 4: XX vs. Dark Fairies
Game 1: He sets up his grave, and then rushes me with Superbia, and Kristya with Honest in hand.
Game 2: Same deal as before, except this time after I used my sided D.D. Crow, he goes Orange Light. Then he follows with Trunade, Monster Reborn Superbia, bring out some Fairy, bring out in hand Kristya. Honest in hand also doesn't really help.
Round 5: BYE
While I had a bye, I had the best time since this morning just playing Blackwings. I switched my deck back because I was pretty sure I wasn't going to top anyways.
Playing my BW deck against my friend StormKing's old school (Hamsters) Quickdraw deck was fun. We had a good time!
~~~
So unfortunately, I go X-4, and totally scrubbed out.
The deck I built has potential, but really, without Summoner Monk and Rescue Cat, the deck isn't really worth playing.
Oh well.
I'll stick with Blackwings for a little while longer I guess.
Thanks for reading this post as usual.

Sunday Locals Report
Oh man. It just feels like it's been forever since I've done a tournament report.
Oh wait....
Anyways, today I was playing Rauzes' LightxDark Beat deck, found on his joint blog, Only The Duel.
It was almost completely netdecked, but the fact that Wisel Infinity doesn't exist in the TCG means I had to change one card.
Still though, I loved the idea of the deck, and honestly, it's performance today exceeded my expectations.
On to the report.
~~
Round 1: vs. Ice Barriers
Game 1: While this deck is kinda unconventional, you still need to be prepared for it. Thunder-King Rai-oh and the Blackwings did most of the work today.
Game 2: Pretty much the same as Game 1, but using Nobleman of Crossout on a Penguin Soldier was pretty nice as well.
OO
Round 2: vs. Gladiator Beasts
Game 1: I open with TKRO and 5 backrows, one of which was Solemn Judgement. While he had a similar field, my play control was a lot better.
Game 2: While I don't recall the beginning, I do recall the end. It oils down to my inhand Gorz, no field, to his Retiari and face down Chariot. He attacks with Retiari, and I force the Chariot with Gorz. He opts to grab his Equeste and get Chariot back. With his life points under 1500, I top the Shura for game. =3
OO
Round 3: vs. Infernities
Game 1: I summon Thunder King Raioh first turn. He gets rid of it thanks to his Infernity Break, but my Call of the Haunted brings it right back.
Game 2: While I did not open with TKRO, I did open with Gorz. As well, my D.D. Crow makes an appearance in this matchup today. Afterwards, I summon Thunder King Raioh and from there it's all down hill for him.
OO
Round 4: vs. Blackwings
Game 1: Honestly, I don't really remember how I won this one. Simplifying the game with my cards and using Cyber Dragon and TKRO to my advantage helped to my win I believe.
Game 2: Same deal as Game 1.
OO
And so we move into playoff rounds. With a record of 4-0, I'm guaranteed a spot in the top.
Top 8: vs. Infernities
Game 1: Again I am against Infernity monsters. However, Thunder King Raioh does his job really well as usual.
Game 2: It boils down to his set up of Synchro monsters against my in hand Honest, CyDra on field, and face down Call of the Haunted. However, Mist Wurm said "Sup" to my cards and then I take over 6000 in one turn. =\
Game 3: So I draw into a hand of Gorz and Chaos Sorcerers and some pointless spells and traps. He summons Infernity beetle and I can't do anything about it as he just slaps me with it for three turns. However, he decides to use Giant Trunade allowing me to drop Gorz. Gorz wins me this game.
OXO
Top 4: vs. ScrapKeepers
Game 1: My deck does its stuff as I play control card after control card (mainly Book of Moon).
Game 2: I lose this one as he brings out Scrap Dragon after Scrap Dragon. While he did Solemn Warnings my first Chaos Sorcerer, I had a second one to help. But another Scrap Dragon owns me hard.
Game 3: Halfway through the game, he plays Dark Armed Dragon on me and pops three of my cards, which really hurts. I bounce back with Dark Hole and Thunder King Raioh. The momentum that I got back swings me into the favourable position.
OXO
Top 2: vs. Blackwings
Game 1: Through some simplication moves, and with me ending up with TKRO as the last card, I beat through the deck rather smoothly.
Game 2: Early on, he tries to play Delta Crow, but I have the Trap Stun to stop the play. Soon after, my Spirit Reaper and ThunderKing Raioh tries to get hit by Dark Hole, but Starlight Road wins out in the end. Unfortunately, he picks up the Kaluts and Shuras he needs at exactly the right time, and I'm left with no options. This game was really down to the wire.
Game 3: He gets off three Icarus Attacks over the course of the duel, but Chaos Sorcerer keeps me from just losing out straight up. However, with no cards to protect our plays, both me and my opponent had trouble due to both of our massive backrows. Eventually I make the push, but he wins out in the end thanks to a clutch Sirocco and Gorz.
OXX
So in the end, I end up getting second place, which isn't bad for me. I win three Turbo packs, but I don't pull much out of them; just D.D. Crow.
I had an awesome time today, especially in the Top 2. You don't get good Yugioh games like those in a long time.
As for this new deck, I really liked how it ran, and while I may keep playing it for a while longer, I have some fun decks in mind that I also want to play.
There's Quickdraw, Blackwings, and Infernities decks as well that I have to make.
Wait for it!

Sunday Locals Report
Well, this isn't really a report, seeing as how I did not enter the tournament because I was too tired to wake up on time.
Turns out I really didn't feel like going to Yugioh as well, BUT I still went and managed to do some trades.
As well, I got a record of what topped and such.
In the Top 8, there was 2 X-Saber decks, 1 Blackwings, 1 Infernities, 1 Gemini City, 1 Gigavise, 1 Machina Gadget deck, and one Flamvell Monarch deck.
In the cut to the Top 4, Gemini City beat Infernities (due to bad hands), Flamvell Monarchs beat Blackwings (with Flamvell Commando!!), and the two X-Saber decks advanced respectively beating Gadgets and Plants.
Cutting to the Top 2, Flamvell Monarchs and X-Sabers were all that remained, and in the end, Flamvell won the tournament!
I have the match uploaded on Youtube, so I'll link you to my channel for now.

Weekend Fun
SATURDAY
Well, this past weekend was really a blast so far.
On Saturday, I went with a bunch of friends to OtaFest, and also to join the Yugioh tournament that they were holding.
Going to the vendors, I bought a new wallet for myself. It's has designs from One Piece, and I really like it a lot more than my old one.
Going to the Yugioh tournament, I believe I did relatively well with my Quickdraw deck.
It was single elimination instead of swiss rounds, which was kinda a disappointment.
Going there, I didn't really expect strong players, as they were mainly anime otakus, so I dominated pretty badly.
However, my GOOD friend James was there, and ripped me apart with his P.A.C.M.A.N. deck.
Dang his "Pure Advantage Camels Munch All Noobs" deck!
So I made it to the Top 6, and got a pin/badge thingy, but the Top 3 all got a Shadow Hat.
Really disappointed I didn't get one. =\
In the end, it was James against Steve in a PACMAN against X-Sabers duel, with Steve winning thanks to Jinzo!
I really need to get me a few of those cards now.
The top 2 won stickers unfortunately. It seems the Top 3 prize was a lot better...>_>
Overall, Saturday at OtaFest was a really fun day. I kinda feel bad for not doing much, as well as not cosplaying since there were so many cosplayers there.
I plan to go back next year, and win this time! I'll probably cosplay too, or even vend there with my friends.
We'll all figure out how to do it next year.
~~~
SUNDAY
Going to my locals the next day, being Sunday, I decided to go with my Quickdraw deck one more time.
With 15 people here, we were going to play 4 rounds of Swiss, with a cut to a Top 8.
Round 1 was a pretty bad game IMO. I was going against a rather poorly made Exodia build. Naturally, I won both games in a few minutes.
Round 2: OO vs. Lightsworn Monarchs
This was a really good match, with close games and no misplays.
Game 1: Good exchanges between both me and my friend. We were almost always the same on card advantage. I win eventually as Jimmy runs out of resources as I drop a LADD late game.
Game 2: I can't remember much about this duel, but it was really close again. A good duel with same resources and such. In the end, I believe Debris Draogn wins this one for me.
Round 3: XOX vs. Rock Stun
Going against my brother was something I always hate to do.
Game 1: He gets me with Brain Control after hitting me earlier. Can't do much here with a really monster heavy deck.
Game 2: I had outs to his monsters and Royal Oppression, and Quickdraw Synchron and Debris Dragon does its job.
Game 3: Nobleman of Crossout gets rid of all my Rykos and Royal Oppression stops a key Debris Draogn, and it's all downhill from there.
Round 4: XOX vs. Flamvell Cat
Game 1: It was a war of attrition as me and Alan kept going back and forth with card exchanges. Eventually, I couldn't keep a monster on the field, and he beats me down with BW -Gale the Whirlwind.
Game 2: I stop his summons and such with my sided cards, being Compulsory Evacuation Device and Trap Hole, and I win this duel with Quickdraw shenanigans.
Game 3: He drops a Caius and removes my Sangan, tributing his Sangan to search for Summoner Monk. I couldn't stop his advantage play.
=\
So this was the first time I had not topped at Myth Games in quite a while. I've been saying that I didn't wanna top for quite a bit now, and it actually happened this time.
Still, I dislike losing to the worse version of Synchro in the fourth round: the Flamvell variant.
In the end, it was a Top 8 consisting of Fader Control, 2 Blackwings, Rock Stun, Flamvell Cat, Lightsworn, Twilight, and Dragons.
Top 4 was the two Blackwing decks, Lightsworn and Twilight.
Top 2 was the Blackwing deck against the Twilight deck, with Blackwings winning in the end.
~~~
Commenting on my Quickdraw deck, I really liked using Spore today. It was a good tuner, being able to become Level 4 by removing either Lonefire Blossom or Dandylion.
Chaos Sorcerer and Light and Darkness Dragon are both good cards to use in this deck. They saved me a lot of times today.
Phoenix Wing Wind Blast was alright, as I didn't get to use it as often as I wanted to. Spinning just isn't as useful as it was before.
Nobleman of Extermination was great mained. Got rid of their backrows, leading to safe plays for my deck.
Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind was great in the deck. I really prefer it over Plaguespreader in this type of deck.
~~~
Personally, I may switch to a different deck soon. The speed of this deck just isn't enough to compete with Frogs, Infernities, or X-Sabers.
The deck which I can potentially switch to is probably Frogs, but we shall see in the near-by future.
Thanks for reading this blog still.
Until tomorrow.

Sunday Locals Report
So I know it's Monday, but I had no time to blog about this last night, so here's my report on my Sunday Locals Tournament!
YAAAY!!! After so long! =P
Today, there wasn't as many people as there usually is, so we played 4 rounds, cutting a a Top 8, with the Top 5 getting packs.
I was running good old Synchro Cat.
Round 1: OXO vs. Infernities
Game 1: I win because the person I was playing against was rather new to Infernities, and so I had a big advantage, already knowing how to play against it.
Game 2: This time, he gets the Infernity combo going, but was only was to bring out a bunch of Level 5 and 6 Synchros due to a lack of Necromancer. Still, he had enough momentum that I wasn't able to come back.
Game 3: My side works out really well this time, as a key Crevice into the D.D. cuts off his combos.
Glad I survived Infernities, I looked forward to the rest of my games.
Round 2: OXO vs. Koa'ki Meiru
Game 1: I reduced his resources with a combination play between Rescue Cat and Heavy Storm, and he couldn't make a comeback.
Game 2: He opens Urknight and Iron Core, and he win. Simple. Urknight makes the deck. Duh.
Game 3: Refer to the first Game of this match. Except I used Summoner Monk instead.
Round 3: OXO vs. Blackwings
Game 1: Strong Cat plays from my deck, followed by no Icarus Attack on his part means that my advantage is too much for him to overcome.
Game 2: Now this was something memorable. He goes first, and opens with Shura, Bora, and Bora. I go, and summon Sirroco, pump my monster, and attack his Shura with my 7200 Atk monster. Still, I had no defensive cards, and I lost as a result of Blizzards synchroing Goyo, etc.
Game 3: I didn't managed to draw my side decked cards, but I manage to play out of his deck again, just like Game 1.
Round 4: XOX vs. Machina Gadgets
Well, this was a match against my brother. And I kinda spazzed at him because of a few moves throughout the duel. So the information presented here may not be entirely accurate.
Game 1: He uses Starlight Road. What more can I say.
Game 2: Here's where the spazzing comes in. A lot of BS goes through here now, but in the end, I win.
Game 3: I lose. I really don't remember how, but it was a war of attrition. Me drawing no Pot of Avarice means that I lost it. =\
Top 8: XOO vs. Counter Fairies
Game 1: He negates my Thought Ruler gaining LP effect with Divine Wrath, and then he brings out Vandalgyon and Archlord Kristya. I tried to Bottomless Trap Hole Kristya, but he negates it with Dark Bribe.
Can't do much against those two cards. =\
Game 2: Legendary Jujitsu Master and Rescue Cat in my opening hand as well as Dust Tornado wins it for me this time around.
Game 3: I managed to pull off the win with Caius and Royal Oppression backing my plays.
Top 4: OO vs. Lightsworn Monarchs(?)
Game 1: I get my plays through, and I didn't really get to see any Monarchs through the duel.
Game 2: He gets his Treeborn Frog into the grave, but then I D.D. Crow it away to prevent problems. He couldn't keep a monster on the field, so I get through this matchup.
Top 2: OXO vs. Infernities
Game 1: He couldn't get off an Infernity Inferno / Dark Grepher play, and was just top decking spells and traps all day long. Not having a lot of Infernity monsters in his graveyard did not help either.
Game 2: He gets off his combo while I didn't have D.D. Crow. =\ I tried to Bottomless Trap Hole an Infernity Archfiend he brought back, but then he flips Imperial Iron Wall. Yea...
Game 3: My D.D. Crow and Crevice into the D.D. goes off without a hitch, and I win the tournament with Synchro Cat!
~~~
I get four packs from the store as my prizes (3 Hidden Arsenal, 1 Raging Battle), but I didn't manage to pull anything good at all.
Still, I did win with Synchro Cat, even though I was totally not expecting to do as well as I did today.
It was a lot of playtesting today, but at least I know Synchro Cat does alright this format.
Also, I was playtesting a Quickdraw deck, and it really is too slow now.
Playing against this format's X-Sabers was just terrible.
Bad results from the game, but eh. What can you do?
More than likely, I'll be setting aside that deck until it gets a revamp from Junk Destroyer and other cards.
With Synchro Cat, I'll be looking to innovate a new way to play it (hopefully).
~~~
That's all for today's post. It's been quite a while since I've blogged so much.
And I must say, I rather enjoy this.
YAAAY!!! After so long! =P

Game 1: He negates my Thought Ruler gaining LP effect with Divine Wrath, and then he brings out Vandalgyon and Archlord Kristya. I tried to Bottomless Trap Hole Kristya, but he negates it with Dark Bribe.
Can't do much against those two cards. =\
Game 2: Legendary Jujitsu Master and Rescue Cat in my opening hand as well as Dust Tornado wins it for me this time around.
Game 3: I managed to pull off the win with Caius and Royal Oppression backing my plays.
Top 4: OO vs. Lightsworn Monarchs(?)
Game 1: I get my plays through, and I didn't really get to see any Monarchs through the duel.
Game 2: He gets his Treeborn Frog into the grave, but then I D.D. Crow it away to prevent problems. He couldn't keep a monster on the field, so I get through this matchup.
Top 2: OXO vs. Infernities
Game 1: He couldn't get off an Infernity Inferno / Dark Grepher play, and was just top decking spells and traps all day long. Not having a lot of Infernity monsters in his graveyard did not help either.
Game 2: He gets off his combo while I didn't have D.D. Crow. =\ I tried to Bottomless Trap Hole an Infernity Archfiend he brought back, but then he flips Imperial Iron Wall. Yea...
Game 3: My D.D. Crow and Crevice into the D.D. goes off without a hitch, and I win the tournament with Synchro Cat!
~~~
I get four packs from the store as my prizes (3 Hidden Arsenal, 1 Raging Battle), but I didn't manage to pull anything good at all.
Still, I did win with Synchro Cat, even though I was totally not expecting to do as well as I did today.
It was a lot of playtesting today, but at least I know Synchro Cat does alright this format.
Also, I was playtesting a Quickdraw deck, and it really is too slow now.
Playing against this format's X-Sabers was just terrible.
Bad results from the game, but eh. What can you do?
More than likely, I'll be setting aside that deck until it gets a revamp from Junk Destroyer and other cards.
With Synchro Cat, I'll be looking to innovate a new way to play it (hopefully).

That's all for today's post. It's been quite a while since I've blogged so much.
And I must say, I rather enjoy this.
