Lolcals Report - Much Based. Such Swag. Wow.

First up, an imaginary Monster that's a collaboration between myself and Megamonkey;

Abyss-Eyes Purgatory Dragon
Level 8 Dark
Dragon/Effect/3000/2500
When a card your opponent controls is destroyed by an effect and sent to the graveyard; this card gains 500 Atk, until the End Phase. Once per turn: You can target 1 monster your opponent controls and 1 Level 4 or lower monster in your opponent's Graveyard; destroy the first target, and if you do, Special Summon the second target from the Graveyard.

Basically I've managed to influence people to want to create and flesh out archetypes of their own, kind of like what I did with Ryu Azura's "Eidolon" cards that appeared at the end of Season 1 in Yu-Gi-Oh! Overdrive Generation - Lost Star Prelude (that you can check out here).

That being said this post is going to be rather short due to it being about a Traditional Format Tournament in which I played Dragon Rulers to the fucking extreme.  Future Fusion, Painful Choice, Dragon Ravine, Card of Safe Return, Dimension Fusion, Return from the Different Dimension.

One of these things doesn't belong with the other.

Anyway prior to this I picked up a DDS Blue-Eyes and immediately put it into my deck, elevating the level of swag to the point that I HAD to name it Swagon Rulers.  I then bought a box of BT13 and pulled Tetra Drive Dragon and picked up some other goodies, then the tourney started.

Round 1 - vs Zombie...thing (2-0)

I opened with Painful Choice, Soul Charge and Dimension Fusion.  Ending board was Stardust Spark, Felgrand and Azure Eyes with an Oppression set down I think for the first game.  The second game he stuns me with Zombie World, but my sided in backrow removal cleared that up and I kill him with Felgrand.

Round 2 - vs Chaos Dragon (2-1)

Game 1 I opened hideously with dead draw spells.  Thankfully Chaos Dragons are notoriously inconsistent so he can't kill me immediately and I mount a comeback with Royal Oppression.  Unfortunately he puts me into a position where I lose a Blue-Eyes to Snatch Steal and have no outs to it.  Game 2 I open up the nuts and go THE FUCK OFF with an Azure Eyes, Stardust, Spark and set Return.  Game 3 we both open pretty tame with time looming.  He's able to resolve Future Fusion I think but I get him down to low enough LP that I can clear his board with Heliopolis and poke with Rulers and Stardust for game.

Round 3 - vs Heraldic Beast (2-0)

This one's a bit hazy.  I'm pretty sure I sacked the hell out of him game 1 while grinding with Felgrand game 2 and eventually winning it with a power play.

Top 4 - vs Six Samurai (2-0)

We both open ass with a few turns of draw pass until he starts to do Samurai things with Dojo.  I Torrential his board and like the idiot he is he forgets to use Shogun's effect to save itself.  I finally draw into the cards needed to make plays and lock him out of the game with Crimson Blader.  The second game I open even worse with Flamvell Guard and Blue-Eyes but because I have Maxx "C" and this guy is the type to play into it I draw Rulers and fodder for them while he comboes into Naturia Beast to try and lock me out of my spells.

So I take it with Big Eye and flip Imperial Order on his turn.

Finals - vs Xyz Zombies (2-0)

Hey it's Magnus again and he's like me playing a deck that if it goes off, it REALLY goes off!  Unfortunately for him I open the literal nuts and GO THE FUCK OFF on him, ending with Azure, Stardust, Spark, Felgrand/Master of Blades (I forget) with traps including Oppression set.  Game 2 I opened with the CLUTCH Future Fusion and grind out the game through Felgrand.

Did you really expect any less from me?

So I ended up taking first place going nearly undefeated with my single loss coming from massively bricking.  We head over to Robins for a bit.  I get to playtest Herald of Perfection with Soul Charge and then Megamonkey and I discuss ideas for a Dark Dragon Archetype called "Abyss" that I've already come up with lore for as they're creatures from the void that are fighting with dragons made of nothingness born from the Black Hole (Graviton).

The Booster Pack will be called Crossover ____.

Props
-Trading off Quasar Dragon at max value for a DDS Blue-Eyes, Passion of Joey Red-Eyes and Exploder Dragon
-Swagoning so much.  The deck I made is the kind that you can spend HOURS solitaring opening hands just to see what nonsense you can come up with.  Best one was drawing 30 cards from the deck TURN ONE.
-Picking up Aqua Force stuff.  My Ripple deck is complete!
-Resolving Future Fusion/Painful Choice, Soul Charge and Dimension Fusion in the same duel.  This happened a decent amount.

Slops
-Overpaying for that Red-Eyes.  I thought POJ Red-Eyes would have been good value.  Turns out its not even 3 bucks.
-Getting rid of my Quasar.  I'm going to miss that bugger.
