Columbus Regs T8 Report, 17th

[Oblivion4]

I'll keep it short, and I may have some rounds confused with others

Round 1 vs Warrior Starter ???

5 minute 2-0

1-0

Round 2 vs ???

another quick 2-0

2-0

Round 3 vs Skill Drain

Had trouble on the first duel but I still 2-0ed him

3-0

Round 4 vs Beatdown of some sorts

Game 3 I have Advantage and Zaloog get's lucksacked by Goldd

3-1

Round 5 vs ???

I win first he wins second I win third

4-1

Round 6 vs Bazoo Return

another 2-0

5-1

Round 7 vs ???

meh, 2-0 again

6-1

Round 8 vs Dark Realm

He draws Jank on the first one and I side deck 2 GK Watchers and 2 Big Shields second game to 2-0 him

So I make T8 going 7-1 finding out that one 7-1 didn't even make it. I had to start out with a game loss because on my deck list my sideboard said SoRL but at last minute I put DDS sideboard instead but forgot to change it. Normally they just tell you that you can't use your side deck, but with me.... no I get a game loss. Meh my mistake again

T8 round vs Jank???

I don't know what it was cause it was so random, kinda had a little of everything, anywhos.......I decide to start since I was given the game loss. I gain mad advantage and the win was easy. Game 3 he side decks and gets like + 4 on me early on. I battle back and regain advantage by +1........Don hit's while he has 4 cards in hand and what do I hit again???????? Yeah that's right, Goldd clears my field again and gives him the win in 2 turns. Lucksacked by Goldd for my only 2 losses of the day. Not having that game loss in T8 and I autowin. I ended up eating a Goldd as I was leaving cause I was so pissed at that card. I think my friends took the remains and tried to salvage it.

Props
Pulled Decree out of my TP6 pack
Pulled Shining out of my Box of EEN
Pretty fun day
Made some great trades
Visits to Columbus are as followed....10th/736 at SJC/Columbus....We won't talk about my 2nd visit, lol....T8 at Regs this weekend

GK Watcher is pretty clever anti-DW.

Congrats on the top 8, but condolences on losing there.

[psionic psycho]

gj i hate toppers there tine tiny little newblets lol would you mind just postin your side deck it sounds interesting

[Kiriyama]

You can't really get lucksacked by gold... It's like not really a card you get lucksacked by, it's just you hitting the wrong card in their hand, making it your fault. Lucksack= Luck by topdecking. Technically it was your fault for hitting the gold. But anyway, you should add more detail to your reports kinda bland :P.

[krazy kilroy]

yeah, you can't really call it luck. It's proper sideboarding. makes you think twice about attacking with Don, doesn't it? did he have only one card in his hand? that's when you really need to think twice about how much you really need to go for the hand.

[Clear]

Round 4 vs Beatdown of some sorts

Game 3 I have Advantage and Zaloog get's lucksacked by Goldd



it was not luck i just sided in the Goldd in game 3 cuz you were tomato control with dons and liked to swing with reapers. and it wasn't beat down. it had spears for reapers and GEAF for cyber dragons good job after that tho. i ended up 11th cuz in rd 6 i got cheated and didnt catch it

[Magical-Yata]

Umm..next regional report how bout some info on what happened. Instead of 2-0 every match + I lost,so I blame it on luck because I am the perfect duelist. Still getting top 8 isnt bad. Your prizes we're insane.

[Pat_Smith]

too bad you lied and said you'd pick me up. -_-a. Nah gj on top 8ing. And slops to goldd w/e he does, I have no clue. :( l8a

[krazy kilroy]

And slops to goldd w/e he does, I have no clue. :( l8a


He owns attacking Dons and reapers.
period

[Pat_Smith]

He owns attacking Dons and reapers.
period

kkthxthx. :0

[Oblivion4]

evilkingtigral

As far as the real definition of lucksacked I don't care. People call drawing a great card when they clearly have cards in hand "topdecking" cause it's just a figure of speech.

krazy kilroy

I said the report was gonna be quick. I was away from my wife the whole weekend so I had to make it quick cause she was already *****in up a storm. Sorry I have to take care of a family. What else is there to put other than 2-0 when those matches clearly weren't close enough for me to remember. And I mean no disrespect to those I played in those rounds but if nothing great happened then I won't remember. I could always say "I got advantage with Don first turn, I win" would that be better. the 2-0s basically meant that there was nothing special about the duel

krazy kilroy

No they had more than 1 card in hand as I stated in my post. Proper sideboarding is luck, you're talking about the chances of you coming across the 2-3 cards (on average) out of 40 cards in your deck. In round 4 I say I got lucksacked by Goldd but I never said anything about the player or that the player got lucky. I'm basically saying that Goldd screwed me. Also if you read on in the round 4 I explained that I should have attacked with Strike first meaning I admit it was my mistake. as far as T8, he had 4 cards in hand, and the one I pick is Goldd, that's luck

Clear

All I really saw was Spears, Elites, and Mobius that just rang Beatdownish to me, sorry about that,

Magical-Yata

As I stated above. nothing special happened in those rounds. me saying what I put in " " above for every match would have been the same thing. I never said I was the perfect duelist. obviously I said in round 4 that I made a mistake. I pretty much had an easy day on my way to T8, out of around seven 7-1 records I had the 3rd worst TB meaning I had an easy day.

Kycoo doesn't stop PoA as it does not remove anything from the game.

I've found Blade Knight to be a better counter against flip-flop than DD Designator.

You're pretty lucky you didn't have to play a burn deck.

~Siefer

Kycoo removes monsters from the GY meaning your opponent won't have 5 monster in their GY to activate PoA

Blade knight get's killed by Sax and is situational, at least LV 2 just get's killed by Sax, and DDD hit's the Tsuky which then kills the flip flop

[Stormz]

He means using kycoo to remove the monsters so that cant use PoA =/

[Clear]

no prob its understandable. if you want to see what it was then PM me and ill let you know, great job on the comeback, sux that i went 1-2 last 3 rds and didnt top 8 but next time,
and i want a mat like that its amazingly hott.

[Oblivion4]

The T8 mat or my DDA Mat?

Kycoo does remove monsters from the graveyard so you can't activate your PoA. Kycoo has once again regain his respectability with people running PoA in there decks now.


Take Ova "Da Skwad" has left da buildin'....Aloha! :cool:

On that same token, Kycoo gets killed by "Sax" as well.

Blade Knight is less situational overall than DDD, and having your one copy of DDD in hand at the same time they have Tsuku is the epitome of situational to me.

Where's my props for loaning you 2 big shields, and speaking of which when do I get them back. Or shall I include them as part of a trade for the decree.

Congrats again.

~Siefer

Any good flip flop wil get Tsuky out early, meaning anytime during the duel that I draw DDD is a good time

Second, DDD can be used on more than just Tsuky, MoF get's back Heavy? Merchant draws into Dark Hole.

Overall against a good flip flop DDD is never a bad card to draw. With Blade Knight you can't press advantage with other monsters and if u do then he's a
"tokenless Breaker" waiting to get smcked by Cyber Dragon for -1. And if u already had advantage on the field then Blade Knight is now useless

Yes, Kycoo get's killed by Sax, that's not the point, the point is that LV 2 and Kycoo get killed by Sax, but Blade get's killed by Sax and is situational to say the least

by far the hardest match i had all day, 9.8/10 nothings perfect. i am rd4 i wasn't home and forgot my PW so i couldnt post as me. great deck no fix

[TheOnlyGame]

Kind of sucks that I got my ass chewed by that guy in the last round, becuse I would have had to play you in t8, and I obv. would have scooped ;\

But hey, my x3 Cyber Dragons + Premature + Smashing Ground < his x3 Sax + Breaker + Snatch Steal + Storm starting hand in game 3

;'(

his tiebreakers were REALLY ****ty too.

Language plz.

[Oblivion4]

no biggy Jordan, Without that game loss I would have won. Never gonna make last minute changes like that again. Wait......My entire decks are always last minute changes, nevermind. Maybe next time the Head Judge will realize that in T8 you don't "have" to stick with the same rulings that you made the rest of the day, and that when someone makes one mistake in their side deck that they're just not allowed to use it for the T8.

[DarkAssailant]

great deck. and gj making top 8. Do u have an invite?


and btw dont forget Pat again, hes cool. lol

[Oblivion4]

Sadly no. Not trying to make excuses as this will sound like one, but anyone who knows me, knows that it's true.

It took some time for me to adjust to the new Meta, last 2 banlist's CC decks were Chaos so switching from previous banlists wasn't too hard. I've been trying new things to see what works and what doesn't. I didn't want to just relying on what I saw in the T8 SJC decks cause obviously they were good enough make T8, but I want to see what works when I actually played it. This regionals I decided to go CC cause when I go CC it's gg. Now to start a streak of T8s in a row, gotta catch up to MJ, lol

hey man don't even start blameing crap like that on the head judge ok maybe you should get the whole story before you start being a ******* he wanted to not give you a game loss but the t.o. him so why dont you get your info together before you start tunning your mouth

[Pat_Smith]

Good Job Oblivion whoever you are.

First of all, who was the TO? Second, it WAS the head judges decision. If the TO was the person I think it was then he was the one who asked the HJ if he would reverse the ruling. Besides, the TO doesn't make the final ruling decisions, the HJ does.

dude you out of your mind the TO told the hj that he should give you a game loss so he had to go with it
it works differently somtimes
but its over now so just stop complaining and blaming things on your mistake it happens to everyone now you no what not to do next time

[exodiaismydaddy]

Congrats on making top8 in columbus I never htoguth that we would have had that many people.........but I might have top8 with my cool exodia dek but I am in "the state that shall remain nameless" due to wild will's post lol..................

[teamgkjulien]

congrats and I like DDD against FFC. Also, MSLV 2 is better than Blade knight i think because its never situational, or that sort of thing. Kycoo's are the spwnt against anything it seems nowadays, he shuts down Call, premature, PoA, Chaos Sorcerer, even some forms of Soul Control (that like to run Spear Cretin, don't ask, I've seen it lol) That's just over here though

Yeah, lucky not having to play burn dude. Burn ***** you especially because you have NO sideboard studs. But then again, your in Columbus, burn isn't as much of a threat as it is here in NorCal, as you can see from SJC Top 4 lol.

I was lucky to go ahead and guess and make a sideboard for burn. 2 of my 9 opponents were playing it, so I would say I made a good decision.

GJ see you at Nats.

[Oblivion4]

redeyes

I'm saying it was both our fault. Second you never told me the name of the TO and how exactly you would know the whole story when I was the one they talked to. And third, I have never seen a game loss in T8 for a side deck error regardless of what rulings were made in swiss so HJ fault > my fault

exodia

I know who you are by name, but I'm not sure on ur face. Thanks though

teamgk

2 Mobius, MST, Storm, Breaker, Dust main, and 1 Dust, LV 2, and possibly Ceasefire sided is more than enough for burn. What else is there? I hope you're not refering to Wombat cause that card is jank. Can't really remember the last time I lost to burn. Thanks for the input though

[teamgkjulien]

Maybe Spell Canceller and meh not wombat, wombat is janky. I would say Canceller, Mobius, Swarm of locusts is nice too. Spell Purificastion, and Royal Decree ****s it up like you woul;dn't believe.

All sideboard studs though... :/

I used to use some of those cards, but over time I used them less and less, so I ended up taking them out for other things. I used to use Jinzo/Decree, and Spell C. The way I see it is this way. As long as I can start out 4-0 I'm clear of the jank decks. If I start 3-1 then I have to make it 4-1 to get past the jank. I'm ok facing burn early on since it's usually a noob. If I lose to one with 2 Moby, 2 Dust, MST, Heavy, Breaker, and LV 2 then he deserves the early win.

I received a game loss last year in the top 8 in Columbus that gave me a game loss as well. It was exactly the same situation. It was a side deck error. My friend borrowed my decree and I forgot to change it on my side deck list. I did not use it the whole day or even look for it. Then I heard the dreaded Snake Eyes please come to the judges table. I lost in top 8 2-1. It really sucked so I feel your pain.

[Oblivion4]

same HJ? u still haven't told me how u would know more of the story than me. I guess Columbus needs to start realizing that T8 and Swiss aren't the same. I'm not saying there shouldn't be any game losses in T8, but side deck error is warning, main deck error is game, it's T8 man, come on

[sohofalco]

netdecker
yes, u state the obvious, and even more obvious since i said that in the beginning of the post

[URjustSOL]

I battle back and regain advantage by +1........Don hit's while he has 4 cards in hand and what do I hit again???????? Yeah that's right, Goldd clears my field again and gives him the win in 2 turns. Lucksacked by Goldd for my only 2 losses of the day.

Lucksacked by Goldd? Anyone playing Don's and Reaper's better fear DW.
