Tournament Report

So I haven't done one of these in a while... That's probably because I'm not so interested in competitive Yu-Gi-Oh anymore and I've been playing dumb/fun decks and testing my Frogs out until I found a build I was happy with. Anyway, here's how I've done the past few tournaments:

Sunday (3/6/11): Fun 4 All
Deck Used: Frog Monarchs
Final Record: 3-3 (Made top 4 and lost)

Monday (3/7/11): Our House Games
Deck Used: Frog Monarchs
Final Record: 1-2 (Ouch lol)

Sunday (3/13/11): Fun 4 All
Deck Used: Frog Monarchs
Final Record: 3-2 (Made top 8 and lost first round)

Since I've missed doing these for a while, I'm only going to get into detailed stuff for this past Sunday's tournament.

Round 1 vs. Gravekeepers

The guy I played this round must have been new to the game, because he was playing very poorly and didn't know his head from a hole in the ground when it came to what my cards and my deck were doing. I've never seen him there before, but it's pretty safe to say that after dropping Light and Darkness Dragon twice in both games that I came out on top this round.

2-0 Victory

Round 2 vs. Chaos Plants


Round 2 I played against Jon Waters, who is a regular there and pretty cool, with his Chaos Plants. Game 1 resulted in an easy win for me after he paid 4,000 LP to Solemn Judgment my Jinzo and had no real follow up, so I just pounded on him with Monarch summons.

Game 2 gave me probably one of my best/most memorable moments from the tournament. I had left a Genex Undine and Formula Synchron on the field so that I could chain Formula's effect to synchro if he tried anything funny. He sacked his facedown Plaguespreader Zombie for Caius and targeted my Formula, so I chained and synchroed up to Magical Android. He top decked for Plague and synchroed into Stardust, attacking over my Magical Android for 100 LP. On my next turn I made another Formula Synchron with Treeborn and Fishborg Blaster, played Monster Reborn to bring my Jinzo back from the grave, then normal summoned Genex Controller and synchroed into Locomotion R-Genex, which allowed me to steal his face-up Stardust permanently, which I then used to synchro into Shooting Star Dragon. He scooped as soon as he saw what I was doing and gave me props for making such a pro play. haha

2-0 Victory

Round 3 vs. Anti-Meta


This was a long duel against my friend Jake Thompson. I shuttered him game 1, and it looked like I had things in game 2 as well, but I misplayed and summoned Light and Darkness Dragon when I didn't have any Monarchs in my Graveyard to bring back with its effect and he continued to summon 1900 beaters and pound on me when I had no Monarchs to summon. Game 3 I drew a god-awful hand with no way to put Treeborn in the graveyard and the game didn't last very long. haha

1-2 Loss

Round 4 vs. Ice Barriers


Round 4 I played against a guy named Adam Freeman, who is a judge, and his Ice Barriers. Going into the match I told him that I had absolutely no clue what any of the cards did, but it turned out not to matter because the games ended so quickly that I never really got to see what the deck is supposed to do. Game 1 I just continually Monarch'd him until I had game, and in game 2 I got off a devastating Malevolent Catastrophe, which destroyed three of his backrow, including a Chain Disappearance that was waiting for my Treeborn Frog. I summoned a Caius to remove his creature next turn and he got all pissed off and scooped.

2-0 Victory

Round 5 (Top 8) vs. Gladiator Beasts


Well, go figure, first round of top 8 I WOULD get my absolute worst match up... haha I don't really need to go into specifics with this one. I drew bad hands both games and though I managed to set up Treeborn, he always had a way to Retiari it.

2-0 Loss

Tournament Record to Date: 7-7
