SandTrap's SJC Arlington Report

SJC Arlington Report

Well, I’ve recovered from the insane weekend, and it’s been a long time since my last tournament report, so it’s time to restart the tradition. Grab a 2-pound bag of Dorito, a bottle of Fanta Orange, and the comfiest chair in your house. Gogogogogogo.

Friday:

I wake up with seven girls in my bed. After again having my way with each one evenly (I’m a nice guy), I tell them I have to go play Yugimans and drop kick them out of my house. Tim Scott comes over and we playtest even though I plan on judging the Shonen Jump. I was tired of the format, especially with certain cards like Cyber Dragon, Chaos Sorcerer, Return, and Cyber Stein ruining the game, everyone running the same crap, etc etc. So as a Level 2 Judge I’d get a nice shirt, a playmat, and a box of boosters, which would altogether sell for around $100+, so might as well instead of getting sacked.

By the way, Tim was like one of the first players back in the day to make me feel like there were other great players out there. I heard about Tim winning one of the first huge tournaments I can remember in Houston. He was the first person I’d ever heard of running three Torrential Tribute, and the idea of someone being better at me at YGO excited me, so I couldn’t wait to meet and play Tim to see where I stood. After that, we became friends blah blah blah all that gay stuff. He just recently got back into the game and was a little rusty, and I’m very glad to say that I helped Tim get his skills back. Now he’s pro ^^.

The guys from Houston came later in the afternoon. Wangpirate, Compaqmac, another Tim, David, and Ricky along with Tim Scott all snuggled in my house for the weekend. I didn’t really want to play Yugimans but Tim and Chris wanted to playtest, so I decided I’d at least play a little bit. But I really didn’t want to just run exactly what everyone else was running from the last SJCs, so I took a while to build a deck with all the cards I liked and finally put it together. I don’t think I lost a single match the entire night, so I was feeling very confident although at that point I still was set on judging. I played against Wang who was basically running Jake McNeely’s deck and won every duel but two, which I lost due to 1st/2nd turn Stein. Gay. Stein really bothers me *sigh*

Everyone was playtesting and having fun, and I had a really great time. I got to play Smash Bros and won some 2v1 matches, teehee. Lost with team attack off but come on, LoL. At one point I realized that I hadn’t lost a match, and contemplated whether ot not I should compete in the SJC. I know that a lot of people wanted me to play instead of judge, but I just didn’t want to get lucksacked again. The feeling of losing to someone you know you’re better than...it’s a feeling I truly hate. It feels terrible, and in this format it’s possible for poor players to beat great ones simply because of the state of the metagame. Alas, Wang decided that it’d be best to flip a coin to decide whether or not I’d play in the SJC. Heads was play, tails was judge. I flipped it...heads, I play. Then someone had the fantastic idea of not going to sleep at all, and I decided that that was awesome. So we stayed up all night playtesting, LoL’ing, and the like.

We showered up and split up into two cards. Tim Scott, Lucas, and myself went in my shaggin’ wagon and we rolled off. We stopped at a McDonald’s and ordered some crap. We were in a hurry so we decided to eat it on the way over to Arlington. Driving with one hand and eating ****-tastic “hotcakes” that tasted like rubber. I spit some back out and had Tim clean up my messy poo. Kek.

We got to the SJC, met up with friends and all that. I was sitting with Wang and Tim Scott...and btw, during the drive over I was feeling really bad. My stomach was bubbling and I could see the **** inside me getting ready to ooze out. So I was sitting there, and felt a bubble of air wanting to come out of my ass. Just a little soundless fart kinda feeling, you know? So I just pushed a little bit, but like...it wasn’t a fart? Instead of feeling the bubble emerge, I felt...warm? I went, “UH OH!” and quickly picked up my stuff and crab-walked out to the bathroom to make sure that nothing dripped down my jeans. I soon discovered that it wasn’t poopie at all! It was just blood. Evan, 1. Life, 0.

Anyways, I go back and try to figure out the side deck. Tim needed a Banisher of the Radiance so I let him borrow mine. I found a Fengshen Mirror in my pile of commons and laughingly told Tim that I’d side it. I wanted to counter the Asura Swap builds, but since D.D. Designator is for losers, I decided to be cool and go with Fengshen Mirror. I’m awesome. I built the rest of my side deck based on anything my main couldn’t handle...although I found that I didn’t really need my side at all for the most part cause my deck was sexy.

Oh, before anything else, just a note. There’s a second Evan Vargas in Texas. Yes, yes it’s true. I’ve met him before at a tournament where someone had put the same UDE # as me. How he had the same UDE # as when I got 3rd Place at SJC Pomona and pioneered Soul Control, I have no idea. He even had the official card to go with the number. Ionno. Before the tournament started, one of the runners of the tournament called for both Evan Vargases to come up to the front. The other Evan Vargas doesn’t have a middle name, and my middle initial is G. So to be sure that there was no confusion with the pairings and such, they made me, the real Evan Vargas, Evan G. Vargas, and the fake Evan Vargas, Evan Vargas. I know, I wanted to be pure as well, but oh well.

So, onto some hot steamy SJC action!

Round 1: Evan G. Vargas vs Jerardo Flores

My first round opponent was against a different deck from the norm. The main combo of the deck involved D.D. Survivor, Different Dimension Gate, and Giant Trunade. He also had Bazoos with multiple Returns in the deck. I remember a long time ago wanting to try the deck out, but inconsistency drew me away from it. Duel 1 was fairly even until I flipped a Dekoichi and started to go aggressive. D.D. Survivor came down, attacked Dekoichi, then did the combo on my face-down Merchant. Interesting stuff, stopped a mid-game Return before it got nasty, and won in the end.

Duel 2 was much easier after knowing what I was dealing with, but the topdecking got dangerous this time. He had no cards whatsoever to my 3 Goat tokens and 2 cards in hand. He rips Premature Burial...on Airknight Parshath. Sad panda face. He draws and sets a s/t. I draw and try to attack it...but I get Sakuretsu Armored. He’s gaining advantage back and ends up attacking into my Night Assailant, and after that threat was clear I regained control and won.

1-0

Round 2: Evan G. Vargas vs JD DeKeyser

This is where it gets funny, and before I talk about this round, I must tell a little story. Back at Texas A&M, there’s a small Facebook group of Yugimans players that I was told about not too long ago. This all took place in the last format when I hadn’t played in a long while and didn’t even have a deck built. I didn’t really want to play a bunch of scrubs, but I didn’t just want to assume that they were bad players because that wouldn’t be fair, so I tried playing some games with them one day. There was one guy named JD who was just a ****y *******. He said he was the best player at A&M (I almost laughed but kept it in), etc etc. He ends up lucksacking me hardcore (5+ topdecks in a row) while using horrible cards like Windstorm of Etaqua and Zero Gravity, LoL. I just put my deck together so I didn’t feel so bad except that he did lucksack me when I know I was better.

I built a real deck I’d take to a Regional and never lost another match against any of the players, including JD. But he never used his “real” deck that beat me, just bull**** other decks. I went on to win the Houston Regional, the format changed, and then I won the Ft. Worth Regional. I later got into an argument with JD because he acted so ****y and arrogant yet wouldn’t play me with his “real” deck again.

Fast forward to Round 2. I’m late to finding my table and see that my opponent is was the ass from College Station, JD. I grinned on the inside, knowing that now I’d be able to smash him and shut him up once and for all. When I heard that we were getting a feature match, I laughed my ass off (inside, once again) and headed over to Jason. We start the game off, and my opponent starts off with a Pitch-Black Warwolf and two set s/t. I kinda think “Hmmm...so he might be teching it, shrug...” but turns out I was wrong...he was just a scrub. I just kept setting up defense cause I wanted to see what he’d do, and when he had no monsters on the field and summoned a Broww to attack my face-down...I knew he was pro-n00b. Windstorm and Zero Gravity, random bull**** monsters...it was embarassing for him. I tore him up completely. I even started laughing when he made some plays, and looked at Jason oddly like, “Is this some kind of joke?”

After the first duel, Jason just said thanks and shook our hands and left, LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL. It was so pathetic that they didn’t even give it a Feature Match! He later told me that he thought he recognized JD’s name somewhere and thought he was good. MISPLAY! After I easily 2-0’d JD, he started apologizing for what happened before, blah blah blah whatever, I said it’s all good.

2-0

Round 3: Evan G. Vargas vs Tim Scott

When I saw the pairings for Round 3...I was shocked. I was so incredibly pissed off, I started yelling, “NOO!” and “****!” loudly. Like...seriously, Tim Scott was the one person in the entire tournament that I did not want to play. This was his first SJC ever, and getting all his skills back, and we playtested all night, and he’s just a really good friend of mine...so I was clearly ******* pissed off. Tim was as well, and as we sat down he said he’d just forget it and scoop, but I told him no one is going to scoop, we’ll just have to play it out. And basically, Tim just got two ridiculously terrible, unplayable hands and lost. I felt really really bad. Both games he opened up with two Chaos Sorcerer and at least one Return. Just stupid dumb luck, especially with the pairings. Fili said I looked more sad and depressed about it than Tim did, and I think he was right =/. *sigh*

3-0...*sigh*

Round 4: Evan G. Vargas vs Trever Patillo

I’ve played my opponent before in a Houston Regional that I had won just before the format changed and won. He was playing a Soul Control deck that liked to win by luck, LoL. Duel 1 he won with just some amazing luck. I Confiscated first turn (only did that 3 times the entire tournament) and left him with Thestalos and three unplayable spells. He topdecks a Big Shield Guardna...*sigh*. He ends up tributing for Thestalos, and out of my 4-card hand hits...Tsukuyomi. I even had a Dust Tornado face-down, so Tsukuyomi would have nuked it for sure.... He then rips GC right after...*sigh*. Late game I get control with Sorcerer and Snatch Steal, but he again topdecks even more with a ripped Zaborg and Heavy face-down LoL...he gets the win.

Duel 2 I don’t remember so clearly, although I remember some more ridiculous luck keeping me from dominating the game. But I won in the end.

While we were siding for Duel 3, I noticed a couple things. One, was that it was really close to time, and I didn’t side any burn or anything like that because I didn’t want to win any games like that. Two, I noticed his side deck was...different. I looked at it quickly before he managed to catch my eyes and knew something was up. After shuffling up, we started the duel. After making my first turn, he started his turn but I told him just incase we should each count our side decks, just to be safe. Sure enough, he had sided into burn and left 16 cards in the side deck, I assume trying to get a slight advantage and draw into his burn more quickly. But I caught it, and it earned him a game loss. We compared hands and he would have been ahead by 200 LPs by turn 2-3 with time not being called yet, but with that 200 LP lead he would be losing in field presence and card advantage, so in the end I think I would have won anyways.

4-0 (First time I won my 4th Round!)

Round 5: Evan G. Vargas vs Roy Castro

I LoL’ed on the inside when I saw that I had to play Roy. I don’t like him at all, and I think he’s terrible at the game. At dinner the night before, he had called one of the people with us and the guy gave me the phone saying it was Roy Castro...and I just gave it back, LOL.

I controlled Duel 1 the entire game. A couple Swaps and Return helped me win in the end. That’s the ony time I used Return, and didn’t even win the game with it. Return is terrible, LoL.

Duel 2 is where the bull**** starts. I had sided and presented my deck to Roy, and placed it in between us. He started shuffling up and asked to count the side. I counted out 15 cards and put them on the table. Somehow...the main and side deck were combined, and Roy was shuffling my deck, saying how big it was. I noticed as well. When he put my deck down on my side of the table, I looked to the left and noticed that my side deck was gone, and then realized that my side and main had been combined. I told him “Wait wait, my main and side are together!”. What does he do? Draws 4 cards and then calls a Judge. I’m like wtf? We have a big argument, with him saying that the game was changed when I hadn’t even drawn a single card because I noticed the issue before it became a problem. I asked him how the game was changed and he couldn’t even give me a straight answer, LoL what a ***. He was just trying to get a game loss against me because he was afraid of losing. In the end, we’re both given warnings for sloppy play and we continued the match. I stomped his fat ass 2-0.

I was later told by a Judge (Dueling Dad) that told me that one of the spectators told him that it was Roy himself that mixed my main and side together and then continued to shuffle my deck. Go figure.

Tim Scott said that some people just have three win conditions: playing normally, then winning by Stein, and then trying to get a game loss against the opponent for no reason. LoL, so true apparently xD.

5-0

Round 6: Evan G. Vargas vs Jason Phillips

Round 6 would become one of my hardest matches the entire day, if not the hardest of them all. I later found out that my opponent goes by Nitrox on the boards, and I had always recognized that name as someone who was good, but never met. Anyways I don’t feel like going into the details of the match, simply because it would show a lot of our skills and how we play our cards (which I will say is very, very well), but in the end I won two very close games for a 2-0 victory. But for sure, I enjoyed playing at such a high level very much and was glad to see that my reads were all correct and happy that I played so well.

6-0

Round 7: Evan G. Vargas vs Lawrence Sylvan

I knew Lawrence as a Louisiana decent scrub/player that wasn’t that great. Despite the result, my opinions were correct =/.

http://www.metagame.com/yugioh.aspx?...ArticleId=6451

Basically, he had MST/Reaper, which already has a very low percentage (MST being 15% while the Reaper was 30% when alone, combined dramatically lower to under 8% or so), and then hit my Graceful Charity which was 20%. Very lucky. I had a Dark, a Light, and a Chaos Sorcerer in hand, so any other card I would have been fine with and most likely would have won, but no...he hits the GC ftw. I have no traps so I can only set a monster, and he has plenty of support for his Reaper and topdecks a key NoC later on to seal the deal.

I don’t know what the hell Jason’s talking about when he says that I said, “Please pick the MST”. I never said that. I was talking about how Lawrence had MST and Reaper together. I wish Jason would stop misquoting people, it happens every time. I was hoping the Reaper would hit the Zaborg in my hand to give me a light for Chaos Sorcerer, but again Lawrence hits the right card and my chances of winning fall once again...too much skill, clearly.

Duel 2 I side in my for-fun Fengshen Mirror and ends up working well for me. Of course, D.D. Designator would have also worked, and removed the dark instead of giving him one for Chaos Sorcerer, but I just played around it and ended up keeping his Chaos Sorcerer instead of it never coming out . FENGSHEN MIRROR FTW!

Duel 3, the game was lost when he topdecked Reinforcement of the Army with a bluff Last Will set into Exiled Force. I was pissed because that was my only solid monster at the time and his hand was full of crap including a Wildheart but because he ripped like a pro, he went on the offensive against my poor hand. The fact that he went for Wildheart with Last Will instead of Reaper was ******ed but shrug. I didn’t draw into any traps anyways, so they were basically 1500 vanillas until he topdecked the Torrential that ended my immediate comeback. And go figure, when I finally gain control of the duel, it comes down to time and he wins. Wow =/. If I had won right then and there like I should have, I would have been in Top 8 for sure.

6-1

Round 8: Evan G. Vargas vs Brad Poth

I again laughed on the inside when I had to play Brad. One, because I knew he was trash and I wasn’t sure how he made it this far in the tournament, and two because I knew I just had to win the last round and then I’d make Top 8.

Duel 1 is all him, with me having a terrible hand while he has flip Dekoichi summon Breaker Nobleman of Crossout set traps kinda situation. Not much I can do.

Duel 2 is funny. I have control with Asura in hand vs some Goats and slight card advantage after I just killed his Treeborn Frog. Brad is such a terrible player that, instead of simply returning his Frog to the field, he decides to pick it up and put it in his hand...LoL? What a scrub. He continues his turn as I give him time to catch his own ******ed mistake, and then I call for a Judge about the Frog. The Judge comes but Brad just says angrily that he’ll take the game loss and move on to Duel 3. It’s even and I admit that I make a misplay by not setting an extra monster for defense and end up getting hand disrupted because of a couple topdecks from Brad. Near the end he topdecks a Magician of Faith and sets it with Graceful in the graveyard. I Swap over a face-up Night Assailant for it and take control of the game from there. I Morph into Senshi late game but he chains Return to save his LPs and ******edly puts them all in defense mode. I summon Asura Priest and that’s that, LoL.

He complains about how he had game if he had used Return the turn before, but I flash my set Mirror Force to show him how wrong he really was.

7-1

Round 9: Evan G. Vargas vs Matt Laurents

When I heard my name being announced for the Feature Match, and that my opponent was Matt Laurents, I was both excited and nervous. I have seen his name in Top 8 of SJCs before, and I was looking forward to both playing against a great player and making Top 8 for this SJC.

http://www.metagame.com/yugioh.aspx?...ArticleId=6475

Duel 1 I had him set up for hand disruption, seeing that he had no defense and would not summon Breaker unless I had a s/t down. But sigh...he topdecks the Enemy Controller that serves as the perfect counter to my play. He then topdecks Dekoichi, which is perfect for him because his main out right now is just Return. Then he tops Mirror Force, and then Sangan...*sigh*. I had to go for it with Zaborg and Sorcerer because otherwise he’d win with Chaos Sorcerer/Heavy Storm/Return. But of course...he’s just topdecking way too well. *sigh*

Duel 2 I just have complete control. I don’t fear the f/d s/t and go for Swap, and it works just fine. I noticed his lack of defensive traps so I didn’t have to worry too much. I read the BoM and decide to MST it although I have traps in hand, and it pays off. I win without too much trouble.

Duel 3. What can I say about Duel 3? I got lucksacked. That’s all there is to it. Jason says my play with Dust Tornado was a misplay, but 20/20 is hindsight. I knew he had Chaos Sorcerer, and if the face-down was Return and if he had Zaborg/NoC in hand, I would have lost. He had first topdecked Chaos Sorcerer, then Cyber Stein, and lastly the NoC that ultimately won him the game after removing my Reaper. I had Snatch in hand, so if he had gone for it, even with Cyber End Dragon, I would have end up winning. My next card was Chaos Sorcerer as well. Basically, after all that Conf/double GC + topdecking, I still had a chance to win. But that’s YGO I guess...*sigh*. Both games I lost were due to OTKs. And some people wonder why I hate them. I wasn’t going to lose either game unless it was to OTKs...bah, whatever.

It really hurt bad. Not Top 8’ing this Jump when I was so confident in myself, so sure that I could do it...it really hurt to get knocked out of Top 8 the way I did. Getting lucksacked in two feature matches out of Top 8 contention? It just didn’t seem fair. And people say that I just blame my losses on luck when in reality I really do get lucksacked when I say I did. I wanted to shut everyone up who thought I wasn’t good anymore, who believed that I got lucky to Top 8 at Pomona. I wanted to make Top 8 and have that great feeling again, and fight for the Shrink and help keep it in Texas. But no...it was all robbed from me. It’s not fair. It’s just not fair.

And then I don’t make Top 8, but a cheater and some lucksacks do? *sigh*. It really just feels unfair to me. It still depresses me, even as I type up the report. I played so well...and yet lose like that...*sigh*.

Last story before I finish up abruptly, as I’m going out to meet up with friends and play Smash:

I’m hanging out with Wang, Dwayne, and others. They’re playing poker heads-up dollar games, and I suggest we play some No-Limit Texas Hold’Em. They all want to but have no chips, so I bust out a box of commons and we use those as chips. The first game, after lots of ****-talking, Dwayne goes all-in on the very first hand. I call with pocket Jacks, and sure enough he’s only got pocket 3’s. *******. I double up and end up winning the first game.

The second game is more entertaining. I took some bad beats and I’m short stack. Ryan Hayakawa is winning and has A 2 suited. I look and see pocket Aces, so I go all-in. Ryan calls and everyone sees how dominated he is. Clearly I’m going to win the pot. I have his Ace covered, no flush or straight ends up coming on the flop, and he’d have to hit two 2’s in order to win. Right now, if this was on ESPN, you’d see 99% under my name and 1% under Ryan’s name. The flop comes Q 7 2 with no flush draw. I’m like okay, I still have it. The turn comes...AND ITS ANOTHER ******* 2!!! Jesus Christ! We explode in noise, yelling and laughter while everyone in the gigantic room turns towards our corner to see what the hell happened. I could not believe it, I was laughing while still in shock, it was so funny. Omfg...good times .

I’ll finish up the final parts of the report later...I figured it was time I post what I have so far.

[mayo211]

Good report, Vargas. Having the best view for your round 9 feature match was cool and the way you lost was both interesting and insane! Matt wents ballz deep on that Stein rush for the win. It was a good match though and a good showing so don't be too mad about. Not much you can do when you're God-Handed. There is always Austin Jump in October with the new format. Peace out!

[BlowbackDragon]

LOL at first part and Game 2.

Nice job, still good. Don't let the 7-2 get you down, you did good.

[ADAMCAT]

[blueD]

Nice report, great meeting you again. And yeah that sucks when you lost to Lawerence..

EDIT: He meant N1tr0X , he known in DGz and RF.

[Milkyway13]

Nice job at the tourney.

I just wanted to say that I really appreciate you posting your tournament reports for us to say.

They are very detailed and I have to admit that they helped inspire me to start playing the game competitively about 2 years ago with your fairy deck.

Thanks.

[G a R 0 n]

Dude, when that scrub hit that charity out of your hand, the last little bit of faith of this game totally died. And after watching that idiot make 1 million and 1 misplays and winning on time made me wanna vomit. Then watching laurents beat you with stein, I wanted to cry for you dude, if anything, you've proven that you are definitely one innovative and brilliant player, and hopefully this experience doesn't deter you from the game, because after reading your matches, you deserved top8 more than anybody, these sjc's just go to prove you gotta play horrible, or out-right cheat in order to win at this game. Its sad really =( .

[Demetrio]

Man, I get a 2 pound bag of doritios and a orange fanta and then what happens??? u start talking about blood and poopie.... WTF! man....... jk lol

[Mage King]

Best report Ever!

You're tourney reports are like christmas!!!

You were really close this time, the SJC right after the list changes is good for you to take advantage of new meta. gl

[compaqmac]

Such a fun weekend

wow...the lies! great stuff Evan ~.^


game 1:8000-0 i wrecked you!!!!

game 2: i scooped

me 6700 you 3200...with me at +2 advantage and i scopped befor the judge even got there. i was looking at my graveyard to see if i wanted to play metamorph ter on your face down or just swap it. i had my hand on the field and i guess i just covered the frog up with my hand. i just scooped because i know i had your sorry ass and it would be so funny to hear you cry about the Aliens and the Voodoo i pray to at night when i win all three games...ROFL =/

game 3: ROFL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you did not have a mirror force and you top the night assailant when you have two face down bluffs swap and w/e. i have 2 in hand (you = 0) MoF set with grace, snatch, meta, noc and heavy in graveyard and was a +1 again. you top out about the most pathetic monster you could of and activated a face down swap. i guess i could go cry about the loss and talk trash like you, but scooping to a super sized french cry and losing to myself and luck sack topdecks doesnt make me lose sleep at night.

nice report minus the lies...

see ya in austin bro

That is the complete truth. Most of my loses were mst, cyber tribute zaborg last will stein good game.

Evan sorry about the Vs stuff, but if you are interested in vs and need some stuff let me know and I will try to get you what you need.

[Kiriyama]

Lol nice tourny report. You got x-2 owned like Corn did ;P. Stupid Mantis, Only my tournys are more random than that **** XD. Good job, you should have top8ed ;/.

[RjAkaPeanut4U]

cool report.

we've had our differences before, but i honestly felt terrible for you when you lost to Lawrence. I know him and i used hate the guy (i called him terrible multiple times irl ;x) but now i have no beef with him, but i do realize the fact that he makes tons of misplays (obvious ones like forgetting treeborn) and gets really lucky, i felt you should have won the match.

for the record, i don't know if you know, but when he summoned Cyber Dragon and Asura Priest just to nail some damage through Spirit Reaper and left game on the board, he also had a Reaper in hand. So he could have rammed cyber dragons, set reaper and pass and try to luck his way back into the game.

nice job though, thats the format.

[drizzztdourden]

=/ i just want to know how the guy u played in the first feature match got as far as he did

[gooseTCG]

A2 > Pocket Aces. =/

[`Phenom]

Are people that determined to win that they would do something as blatant as shuffling your side into your deck? Jesus.....
Too bad you didn't T8

[Hazen]

wait, it was blood not poop. how does that make you 1 up on life? it's still blood.

Anyway - sometimes you just have to eat the luck and move on. sorry man, the luck factor of this game is rediculous, we all get bad beats.

good job.

[Inu665]

You're good, but your ego is way too big. And like everyone else, all your losses are due to sacking (says you).

[Avalanche]

well every event i go to roy seems to get into an arguement with someone. nice report GJ.

[ss4giel]

I love you Evan.

[G a R 0 n]

Did you even BOTHER to read his two feature matches?

[sbcace03]

great report, well explained.

Duel 2 is where the bull**** starts. I had sided and presented my deck to Roy, and placed it in between us. He started shuffling up and asked to count the side. I counted out 15 cards and put them on the table. Somehow...the main and side deck were combined, and Roy was shuffling my deck, saying how big it was. I noticed as well. When he put my deck down on my side of the table, I looked to the left and noticed that my side deck was gone, and then realized that my side and main had been combined. I told him “Wait wait, my main and side are together!”. What does he do? Draws 4 cards and then calls a Judge. I’m like wtf? We have a big argument, with him saying that the game was changed when I hadn’t even drawn a single card because I noticed the issue before it became a problem. I asked him how the game was changed and he couldn’t even give me a straight answer, LoL what a ***. He was just trying to get a game loss against me because he was afraid of losing. In the end, we’re both given warnings for sloppy play and we continued the match. I stomped his fat ass 2-0.

funny $h!t. punk @$$ stuff, but funny.
