Tournament at Khatib on 6/12/09

Right guys, another update since like almost 7 days ago. Today's update will be on the Khatib's weekly tourney that I've manage to attend because I had off on the day =D. I didn't win any prizes but ok, at least I got into 5th place after not attending any weekly tournaments for such a long time! So below are my matchups.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Khatib Weekly Tournament on 6/12/09
Deck Used: Dimension Gladial Beasts
Format: 3 round Swiss and then Elimination

First Match Vs Bahamut84(Junk Blade Deck)
OO- = Win

I was pretty lucky when Baha didn't had the right cards to do a FTK when he started first, which allowed me to set up my field to try to prevent the FTK from working. So yes! It was plainly luck! Which resulted in extreme hatred from him for the whole day at Khatib T_T.

Second Match Vs Clarence (Secret Deck, Not sure whether he wans it to be revealed or not lol)
OO- = Win

Okay I'm quite luck in that sense too, Clarence told he that he made a wrong move or not I would have dieded pretty badly =O. It all thanks to him letting my field set up for one turn. So ya, I pretty much won the above 2 self touching decks by good luck! =X

Third Match Vs No One
- - -

Since I've already won 2 matches in a row, I do not need to play the third match lol!


Fourth Match Vs Bye
- - -

Luck was with me! Those with 2 wins would need to pick a random card, if the card picked is a magic, he or she will proceed to the next round immediately, so ya. I picked the magic card =D


Fifth Match VS Joseph (Zombie Synchro)
XX- = Lose

Looks like the luck had all been used up! Died cause when I needed monsters, no one came to my rescue, when I needed magic and traps, nothing came! So yes, luck fully used up! By the way my deck only had 10 monsters! Could be the reason due to them not coming to rescue me lol!


So total Results = 2 win 1 lose = 5th place but still... SCRUBBED! More practice!


Alright, will update again in a few days time =D Till then again! Hohoho!

By the way guys, don't forget about the team tournament held next week, information is up at the new section on the right hand side of the blog. For more information, click on the link there =)

Deck Review: The Shining Zero

Alright as promised on what I had written on my tagboard, today will be an update for the weekend! Today's content will be on a new deck that I've just tested it out today. It isn't as fast as a normal fusion Summoning deck that Bahamut84 from duelingdays built. So it would actually need more improvement to try to be more competitive next time( thats why it is called "MK I")
Without further a due, below is the decklist for [The Shining Zero]



Deck Name: The Shining Zero MK I

Deck size: 40

Monsters: 13

1x E-HERO Airman
1x E-HERO Prisma
1x E-HERO Ocean
3x E-HERO Another Neos
1x E-HERO Voltech
1x E-HERO Sparkman
2x Swamp King
3x Honest

Magic: 15

3x E - Emergency Call
2x O - Oversoul
1x Reinforcement Of The Army
1x Polymerization
3x Miracle Fusion
1x Heavy Storm
1x Future Fusion
3x Dual Spark

Traps: 12

1x Holy Barrier - Mirror Force
3x Hero Blast
2x Bottomless Trap Hole
2x Trap Stun
2x Dark Bribe
1x Solemn Judgement
1x Cry of the Living Dead

In conjunction to the decklist, here is a explanation of [E-HERO The Shining]'s effect for people that do not know.



YG06-JP001
[Ｅ・ＨＥＲＯ Ｔｈｅ シャイニング]
[E-HERO The Shining]
Attribute: Light, Type: Warrior
Effect Monster, Fusion, Level 8
ATK 2600/Def 2100
1 [Elemental Hero] Monster + 1 Light Attribute Monster
This card cannot be Special Summoned except by a Fusion Summon. This card gains 300 attack points X the number of [Elemental Hero] monsters in your out of game pile. When this card is sent from the field to the graveyard, select up to 2 [Elemental Hero] monsters in your out of game pile and add it to your hand.


Right how this deck works is pretty simple!

Step 1: Summon [E-HERO Prisma] and throw either [E-HERO Sparkman] or [E-HERO Ocean]

Step 2: Activate [Miracle Fusion] and fusion summon either [E-HERO The Shining] or [E-HERO Absolute Zero] depending on which material did you send to the graveyard.

Step 3: Smack your opponent!

However the above doesn't really work against a [Eatos Beat] deck that uses cards like [Dimension Fissure] and [Macro Cosmos]. As those cards will kill your grave and make you be unable to use [Miracle Fusion] to fusion summon. [Royal Impregnable Fortress] also does the same thing too. So watch out for them!

Another card that is totally skill for this deck is [Super Fusion]! As it uses your opponent's monsters as well to fusion summon for your own fusion monster! Greatly competitive against decks like [Lightlords] that has a ton of Light Attribute monsters for you to steal to fusion summon out your [E-HERO The Shining]. Stealing any of your opponent's Earth or Water Attribute monsters will also result in a fusion summon of [E-HERO Gaia] or [E-HERO Absolute Zero]. Best of all is, after [Super Fusion] is activated, no other cards can be chained in response to this card. So nothing will be able to negate this card's activation(unless its an on-going effect and does not require activation) and [Royal Oppression] will not be able to negate this card either.

In any case, more improvement will be done once I have received my [E-HERO The Flash]!
More next time! Cya guys!

Yu-Gi-Oh! Asia Championships 2010 Singapore Qualifiers on November 15 2009

Ok I scrubbed too with Bahamut84 from duelingdays on this day! I was playing a [Lightlord] deck by the way lol. Fought with 2 [Lightlord] decks, 1 [Twilight] deck and 1 [Graveyard Vayu] deck. Oh my god wtf bbq?

So here are my results summary for the day.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Asia Championships 2010 Singapore Qualifiers 15/11/09
Deck Used : Lightlord
Format: 5? 4? round Swiss

First Match VS unknown ("Pure" Lightlord)
OO- = Win

Won in the first round due to rushing him with [Lightlord Beast - Wulf] and the usual method of having [Judgement Dragon] blasting the field and winning it for me. Second round was due to me having a [Judgement Dragon] in the first turn hitting him for 3k lifepoints! He [Brain Control]ed it and hit me back in the face! Before releasing it for his own [Lightlord Angel - Cherubim]. I then [Monster Reincarnation] my [Judgement Dragon] and did the same winning trick lol!

Second Match VS "Sorry I forgot your name! >.<" (Lightlord)
XOX = Lose

Lost in the first round due to decking out! Second round I Won due to rushing him dead on. And in the 3rd round... Overwhelmed by [Judgement Dragon]!

Third Match VS Sebastian (Twilight)
OXO = Win

Won in the first round due to the same old [Lightlord] tactics, however that took alot of brain cells from me! Sebastian is really a very very very strong player that will take away your braincells! And the most funny thing was, we were always checking both players' graveyard lol!
When the first round ended, we only had around 15 mins if I am not wrong. Sebastian got his win at the his 4th turn due to his [Lightlord Magician - Laila] ramming onto my [Lightlord Beast - Wulf] and spamming 2 copies of [Honest] for the win! On the last round where it was sudden death. We only had 4 turns, and at the end of the 4th turn. Whose life was the highest would win. So here goes. I started out first and had 3 copies of [Lightlord Summoner - Lumina] and 1 [Lightlord Warrior - Garoth] on my field. I started to keep overturning my deck till I'm left with 13 cards in my deck and resulting in one [Lightlord Beast - Wulf] special Summoning to my field with 3 [Necro Gardna] in my grave. When it was Sebas' turn, he summoned his [Lightlord Summoner - Lumina] and overturned one copy of [Necro Gardna] to the graveyard. Then it was back to my turn, I released my [Lightlord Warrior - Garoth] and summoned out [Lightlord Angel - Cherubim] to destroy his [Lightlord Summoner - Lumina] to aim for a direct attack to his lifepoints! He blocked my [Lightlord Angel - Cherubim]'s attack and took the attack from my [Lightlord Summoner - Lumina]! Which results in a difference of 1000 in our lifepoints and for him to summon out his [Envoy of Hades - Gorz] By the end of my turn, I had just nice 0 cards in my deck and it was his turn. Sebas couldn't find a way to bash into my lifepoints with the 3 copies of [Necro Gardna] in my grave so ya, I won him by sudden death for the last round. It was the greatest match of the year Sebas! Nice One!

"Last" Match VS Sam (Graveyard Vayu)
OXX = Lose

Got owned totally by Gay Sam!!!!! Enough said =/



So total results = 2 win 2 lose = Scrubbed!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes I hope I can do better next time! And wow! Finally an update after 2 months! LOL!
