And while we're at it, Axess' opening;
It's scary how it's been around 10 years since these came out.
Anyway Locals was today and I decided I'd try to have some "fun" by playing Rank-Up Magic Hunder control and possibly play a game against Monkey's REDRUM Control deck. Sadly he worked and the awesome Rank-Up Magic Match never happened. So I ended up buying a box of Dragons of Legend and got;
3x Soul Charge
3x Wiretap
3x Ayer's Rock Sunrise
2x Kuribandit
2x Ice Hand
1x Fire Hand
1x Legendary Knight Timaeus
1x The Eye of Timaeus
1x Dark Magician Girl the Dragon Knight
I traded off the Yugi cards for a Downerd Magician which I needed for a few decks so overall I'm like "not bad" with the box and immediately sleeve up the Charges in my Hunders. Then the tournament began;
Round 1 - vs Xyz Zombie (1-2)
Game 1; I do a few things, but get blown out by Dark Armed Dragon.
Game 2; Didn't realize he had an Exciton Knight and I damn near lost to it. Thankfully I kill it, then rush with some little guys for the win.
Game 3; I open with a Utopia Victory...and it gets Creature Swapped. I lose from having no outs to the thing. Fucking hate Creature Swap.
So I'm not exactly happy at this point as I got sacked Game 1 and Creature Swap has been the bane of my existence for years now. I think I've lost about 20+ games now to the damn thing. Then the next rounds are announced and I'm paired against Retard McAutism and just sigh.
Round 2 - vs 60 card Agents (2-0).
Game 1; People like these are never fun to play against, just because there's nothing to gain from the duels. You'll shitstomp them because their decks/card choices/thinking are awful and if you lose its because they fucking sacked the holy shit out of you. In this case I have to put up with not one but two Swords of Revealing Light (and we all know how much I detest stall cards).
Whatever. I go off with Soul Charge despite this, draw out the ass and eventually beat him, stall cards be damned.
Game 2; My traps keep him from doing jack all as I Rank-Up into a C69 and beat him to death. I even have Divine Wrath for the Gorz.
Round 3 - vs Creator Dark World (2-1)
Oh hey, it's Magnus! Haven't seen him here since Regionals. At first I scolded him for playing Dark World because good people don't play degenerate decks. However it's the Creator build which means there's considerably less faggotry here.
Game 1 - I open complete ass for the Dark World matchup. Mirror Forces are awful and while I do make a game of this, I eventually run out of steam from not being able to get to Thunder Seahorse and lose.
Game 2 - I do the usual Hunder plays of Seahorse toolboxing while he sits on a Zenmaines. Eventually he starts coming at me and I use Soul Charge to make an ARK to steal his Grapha, it gets Veiler'd and I rank it up into DARK and steal it anyway. Mwahahahahahahahah!
After that he gets a little greedy and I punish him for it with Vanity's Emptiness.
Game 3 - I have Banisher of the Radiance and am able to Rank-Up into Utopia Victory and just swing with it until he dies.
After that Monkey shows up and talkings are had. Then the top cut is posted.
Top 4 - vs Xyz Zombies (2-0).
Game 1 - I really don't remember much of this one. I think I keep him from doing a whole bunch and get a Rank-Up off to win.
Game 2 - I just slaughter him with Constellar Omega and Abyss Dweller.
Finals - Inzektors (0-2)
Fuck. This. Deck.
No seriously I fucking hate Inzektors with a passion. To this day I still believe that Inzektor Hornet is one of the worst designed cards in the entire game. Bitch all you want about Soul Charge, Dragon Rulers and etc (and I won't argue that) but a card that punishes you for having cards on the field, able to be used as many times as possible as you have things to equip it is fucking garbage. I've never liked Inzektors and it seems to be that most of the decks I enjoy playing have awful matchups against this deck. Hunders especially fare terribly against them and I was not prepared for this matchup at all. Figures the one time I DON'T have Shadow-Mirror in the side is the time that I face Derpzektors.
I fucking hate this deck.
Game 1 - I open with the kind of things you really don't want to see against Inzektors so I'm forced to burn things I don't want to burn early like TT and MST just to keep my field from being completely picked off. I make some attempts at turning the game around but he has all of the bloody outs between CED, Chain, Torrential and BTH. Also Dark Armed.
Game 2 - I open Banisher of the Radiance yay!
...unfortunately I have nothing to keep it from being run over by Hopper. So that thing dies and I don't draw much else. I think I make a last attempt at something but then he drops Dark Armed and I lose.
That's it. Shadow Mirror goes into all of my side decks from here on out. Between Inzektors, Dark World, Gimmick Puppet and the upcoming Shadolls I have more than enough reason to run it.
After that we went to Robins, I completely shitstomped the Agent guy with Dragon Rulers because I was in an unforgiving mood and he's retarded enough to take such a beating with a smile. Have I mentioned he's someone that most of us don't want around but follows us to Robins anyway? Seriously he's annoying. Following that I played a few games of cube, found even less reasons to want to keep playing cube and proceeded to get dickbutted in Vanguard several times. I also got to see someone else play against Woodhouse and get Woodhoused repeatedly. He table flipped and rightly so. The guy is all sack and no skill.
Also Megamonkey picked up a Super Rare German Blizzard Dragon that will be mine.
You know it will.
