First win of 2012!

2012-01-07T07:20:00.000-08:00

Deck used: TG Agents

Format: 4 rounds of Swiss, cut to Top 8 (There were only 16 ppl.)

Round 1: Shaunewbiez (Inzecter Agents)
OXO

Game 1: Opened with Venus + Gantetsu and just slowly poked him to death, stopping his Damsel and Centipede with Raigeki Break and Warning

Game 2: He threw a Maxx C when i attempted to Venus call balls, but i just chionged and died to massive disadvantage.

Game 3: Forgot what happened here...

Round 2: Winson (Junk Doppel)
XOO

Game 1: Lost to Quasar...nuff said.
Game 2: Controlled with Banisher + other delicious stuff.
Game 3: The game went back and forth until i topdecked a Hyperion...

Round 3: Samuel (Dragonlords)
OXO

Game 1: Hyperion Daigusto OTK
Game 2: His turn to rush me with Light Pulsar + other stuff...
Game 3: Hyperion Daigusto OTK

Round 4: Xiaomei (Rabbit Ragia)

Let her win to avoid the full curse....

Top 8: Winson (Junk Doppel)

Shared. I went up.

Top 4: Plant (Lavals)
XOO

Game 1: He chiong me with Rekindling...

Game 2: Stalled abit with 2 Ball hand and eventually made 2 Gantetsu in fear of Rekindling. Manage to draw Reborn to get Raiou and he didn't top draw stuff to fight back. Was told later on that i could actually win that turn but i stress so make mistake =_=

Game 3: He got Rekindling early due to Gold Sarco, but didn't use it. Had to set my Warwolf and let his Flamvell Helldog eat in order to get my Striker. He then Trishula-ed me, removing my BLS and Venus from grave. Luckily...i topdeck-ed Hyperion and made Catastor with Striker + Venue in hand ftw.

Finals : Xiaomei (Rabbit Ragia)
OO

Game 1: Rushed her but failed due to Gorz. She made Zenmaines with Tour Guide and i was forced to atk everything and she got rid of my Wyvern. I made my own Zenmaines and stalled abit until i summoned Honest and attacked with Honest, Zenmaines and Gantetsu for game.

Game 2: Ragia + Dolkka in 2 turns.... Luckily draw Book of Moon and cleared with Dark Hole. Managed to control with Venus + Gantetsu. Made a big mistake further on by leaving my Venus , Ball and Earth on the field for her to eat with Guaiba. She made Ragia after that, but i topdecked Honest for game.

Result: 1st!

Got my very own Emeral (Shared with Winson of course..)

Still, its such a great way to start 2012!

New Year Resolutions!!

2012-01-01T08:24:00.000-08:00

It's the start of a brand new year for everyone! Which means another year of YGO for not only me, but for every player out there. Now, for the usual yearly ritual of laying out my new year resolutions! (YGO and Non-YGO related)

1) Get fit, macho-man fit.

2) Good results

3) Scrub less in locals (Always here to stay every year, since i never achieve this.)

4) Top 8/4/2/1 for Asia Qualifier/Worlds Qualifier

5) Stick to one deck more (Not changing decks every 2-3 weeks. Not funny at all)

Well, here they are, at least what i can think of at the moment. Hope i can achieve them all :)

Happy New Year!

2011-12-31T08:08:00.000-08:00

Happy New Year to all readers out there!!

Hope everyone will be successful in another year of YGO!

Game 3: Raioh and massive backrow controlled the game.

Round 2: VS Kitty (Dragons)
OO

Thats all for today!

Lookback at my 2011

2011-12-28T05:17:00.000-08:00

Well, it's just a few days before the start of a brand new year! So this is the best time to sit down and start thinking about all the things that happened during this year. Everything, from achievements to laughter to losses, this the best time to reflect on all those things.

Well, here's the list of major events for 2011 and my thoughts on them.

Asia Qualifiers 2011

Deck used: Whirlwind BF

For this qualifier, we had to go through a tough fight of 7 swiss rounds. Adding to the fact that everyone woke up quite early for registration, you can be sure that all of us had a tough time. I only managed to get a subpar score of 4-3, winning all 3 matches again Six Samurais and losing 3 mirror matches. Needless to say, wasn't really proud of my performance, but i felt that i did my best and I was very comfortable with playing Whirlwind BF at that time.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Open Series #2 (Hosted by Cardmasters)

Deck used: Graveyard BF

I was really proud of myself when i actually won this event. Although this wasn't an official event, it was still considered quite a big one, with almost 50 participants and a PS3 up for grabs. Since this event was using the March Banlist (The asia qualifier was still using the old banlist), it was difficult for everyone to choose what type of decks to pilot for the fresh and new format. Regardless, I was able to climb all the way to the top and get myself my very first 1st place for a big event!

Singapore Worlds Qualifier 2011

Deck used: Six Samurai

Wasn't really planning on using Six Samurai, but I was playing with it for a few weeks by then and it was really growing on me. I was playing the Japanese build, which focused on control and making of use Royal Oppression. Sad to say, i scrubbed with a miserable score of 1-4 for the final standings.

Asia Plus Team Qualifier 2011

Deck used: Agent Angels

For this qualifier, there were actually 4 rounds of Pre-Qualifiers that allowed direct seeding into Top 8 for the main event. My team, consisting of Johann (awesomehazelnuts), Vishal (avengingknight) and myself took part and won the very first qualifier! So, we were directly brought forward to Top 8 for the main event. Sad to say, we lost on the actual day during Top 8 to the eventual runner-up for the entire event. Still, I believed that we tried our best and we can only hope for the better next year, if 2012 isn't the end of the world :)

Top Shop of Asia: Singapore Qualifers

Deck used: T.G. Agents

This, hands-down, had to be the biggest highlight of my entire year! It was a brand new official event whereby local card shops choose their representatives to fight it out to become Asia's number 1 card shop. I was representing Thousand Taste Trading and i managed to clinch 1st place after the dust cleared.

I had to face many strong opponents along the way, such as Vishal, my teammate for Asia Plus and Jeff, agreed by majority as the strongest player in Singapore. As a player, achievements were of much importance to me. Hence, being the very first official event i topped ever since i started playing competitively in 2009, it was really a huge accomplishment for me.

I then proceeded to travel to Taiwan for the Asia Plus Championships, together with William, Nian Jie, Daniel, Anthony and DS, accompanied by the distributor. Sad to say, I scrubbed badly at the main event. However, i had much fun and it was all very valuable experience.

So, that's the sum-up of my year for 2011. Here's hoping that 2012 will be an even better year for me! Especially since the Asia Championships 2012 will be held in Singapore!

Hope 2012 will be great for everyone! Happy New Year!

Deck used: Inzecters

Format: Swiss of 4 Rounds. Cut to Top 8.

Round 1: VS Vishal (WWBF)
OO

Game 1: Controlled with Raioh
Game 2: Imba hand with Damsel + Gigamantis for combowhoring.

Round 2: VS Poh Seng (GK)
XX

Game 1: Forgot how i died.
Game 2: Greedy and used Storm without opening Trap Stun first. Died to Sin Cyber End

Round 3: VS Hong Rui (Hero Beat) *SHARED*
XX

Game 1: Super Poly too strong.
Game 2: Same thing, except he's backrow killed me while i didn't draw any sided stuff.

Round 4: VS Alvin PUTRA (Hero Beat)
XOX

Game 1: Died to Raioh beat with my imba hand of 2 damsels, 2 pot and some unimportant stuff
Game 2: Rush him with Damsel and other good stuff
Game 3: Top deck Miracle + Honest sealed my fate.

Alvin gave me the win since i was sharing with Hong Rui, as i wanted to pull his score up.

Results : 1-3

Bad sidedeck choice of Trap Stun over Royal Decree costed me in this tournament. Besides that, I think most of my plays were correct. Still quite confused about some rulings regarding Inzecters so need to familiarize with them more if i wish to continue playing them.

Anyways, had 1 round of pack war after that and i won myself 4 out of 6 foils in the box lol.

Everytime i go to Kit's Shop, always go home with good stuff even though i scrub.

Game 3: Side deck error of not puting in Trap Stun costed me the game.

Result: 1-2 (12th/20)

Got a lucky draw pack of PTDN and pulled Dark Armed. Proceeded to get some good stuff from others. Looks like the Top Shop win really used up all the luck i had for the entire year, lololol.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all readers!!!

Thank you for all of your continual support (even though this blog is dead most of the time)

Reflection after Asia Plus

2011-12-20T01:32:00.000-08:00

Sorry that there will not be any blog post about my trip to Taiwan, since DS has already uploaded the whole story, lol.

Basically, it was a really good experience for me, meeting players from all parts of Asia. I felt kind of bad for scrubbing so badly during my event, since i was pretty confident of myself to get into at least Top 4. Nevertheless, I had a lot of fun during this trip, almost like the holiday which i deserved from all the school work and exams i had :)

This just made me more fired up for the next coming event, which is Asia 2012. So for now, its going to be schoolwork and more locals.

Off to Asia Plus tomorrow!

2011-12-15T06:24:00.001-08:00

Typing this post out before i head out to Changi Airport to ton all the way until 5am, lol.

Pretty much settled on the decks that i will be winning for both the "Challenge the Champ" section and the actual tournament. Props to Andrew and Lauren for knocking some sense into me.

It's going to be one heck of a experience for me, since its my first time representing Singapore for such a event. I'll try to post updates on each day (The whole trip is 4 days), provided that there is Wifi available at the hotel (Which there should be).

Overall, I'm pretty stressed out at the moment, thinking of all the tough opponents i'll be facing at Taiwan, especially Sam :(

Thanks to all who wished me good luck! I'll try my best to bring the trophy back to Singapore!

That's all for now!

Signing off (Going to Changi Airport..)

5 more days to Taiwan!

2011-12-10T18:44:00.000-08:00

Very short post here, since i'm preparing for exams tomorrow.

Sooooo excited, yet soooo stressed at the same time.

I'll try to keep updating about the events and stuff happening there (If there is Wifi)

Decks i'm expecting:

- Inzecter
- Agents
- DW
- Cosmos Ragia

That's all for now. I'll get another post up once my exams are done :)

Have to admit that the new build i'm playing is really good against Inzecter, was just eating them here and there. Quite satisfied with today's performance, although i didn't win the Lavalval Chain..

Oh well, time to look forward to Taiwan, since i can't go locals next week due to exams...

Asia Plus Tournament Report

2011-11-13T04:48:00.000-08:00

Asia Plus Pre-Qualifer (AMK) Report

2011-10-15T05:17:00.001-07:00

Entered with Vishal and Johann.

Team Chieflion:

Leader: Johann (Nordic Dark World)
Member A: Vishal (Whirlwind BF)
Member B: Me (Agent Angel)

I have no idea what are the team names of all of my opponents, so i'll just write down the members instead :D

Round 1:

Kenneth (Infernity) VS Johann - (Win)

Yi Jie (Agent Angel) VS Vishal - (Lose)

Soon Hai (Machina Gadget) VS Me - (Win)

Personal score: XOO

Game 1: Lost to Hope + Gadget spam
Game 2: Trap Dustshoot + Pulling the Rug allowed me to counter his stuff
Game 3: Seven Tools + MST gave me the chance to do my combos.

Round 2:

Wee Min (DW) VS Johann - (Win)

Wesley (Junk Doppel) VS Vishal - (Discontinued)

Poh Seng (Gravekeepers) VS Me - (Win)

Personal Score: OO

Game 1: Had some debates over a ruling, with the judge passing the wrong judgment (I don't blame him, since it was kind of confusing), leaving me guilty for the whole game. Regardless, manage to beat down with Venus + stuff.

Game 2: Stalled awhile since he set 5 first turn. Summoned Christia and Heavy Storm'ed, revealing all useless spells. Venus beat him down after that.

Finals:

Potato (Lightlords) VS Johann - (Win)

Guan Ji (Machina Gadget) VS Vishal - (Lose)

Cassandra (WWBF) VS Me - (Win)

Personal Score: OO

Game 1: MVP is really Tragoedia. Controlled the game with it being so huge. She made Scrap Dragon to clear my Tragoedia, but i had another in my hand. I discarded Christia to take Scrap Dragon next turn for game.

Game 2: Early Christia controlled the game, even though she had Light Imprisoning Mirror. Think she made a mistake not clearing my Christia and i top-deck Earth to kill her next turn.

Results : 1st!

And so, we got into Top 8 for Asia Plus :D

Hope we can win all the way to Taiwan!!

Tourney Report @ Jcube (8/10/11)

2011-10-08T07:18:00.000-07:00

Deck used: T.G Agents

Format: Swiss of 4 Rounds. Cut to Top 8.

Round 1: VS Jeff (Hero Beat)
OXO

Game 1: Top-decked Hyperion gave me the win.
Game 2: Karma for top-decking Hyperion = Giving me 3 Hyperions with no Earth/Venus
Game 3: Steady beatdown with stuff and Smashing Ground clearing his Raioh.

Round 2: VS Yew Loong (Gravekeeper Light Undead)
OXO

Game 1: He took my Gantetsu with Creature Swap, but i still won with Hyperion and TG's
Game 2: Remember a Goku En blowing up in my face for game.
Game 3: Leeching the Light on my field of Venus + 3 Shine Ball beatdown.

Round 3: VS Ball-Snow (Agent Angel)
XOX

Game 1: An early Trishula gave him the advantage, with multiple Warnings to kill me off.
Game 2: Forgot how i won.
Game 3: Managed to clear his field of Black Rose + Christia with Shine Ball + Leeching the Light + Smashing Ground, but he suicided his Orange Light into my ball to get 4 angels in the grave again.

Round 4: VS Shifu (Junk Doppel)
XX

Game 1: Both of us stalled awhile. Made a misplay with Mind Crush and lost to BLS + Sorc
Game 2: Debunk-ed his Sangan but still lost to BLS.

Standing: 2-2 (9th)

Suits me right for playing some random side deck (Debunk, Smashing Ground, etc). Didn't have the time to fully make a proper side. First time playing this deck without any play testing and it felt great!

Still cannot decided which is better : Agent Angel or T.G Agent, since once Christia is dropped, it pretty hard for me to win unless i got Creature Swap or Dark Hole. Guess today wasn't my day, as usual...

Hope to get more results from my new deck :D

Testing so far

2011-08-31T19:57:00.001-07:00

Just a short update on my progress into the start of the new format.

Basically, i scrubbed on Tuesday. Deck was giving me a really hard time with all the boss monsters clogged in hand (1 BLS, 1 DAD, 2 Grapha).

Looks like its back to the drawing board for me. Next tournament should be the final SG Showdown Qualifier this Sunday. The ban list used would still be the March one, so everyone should still be familiar with all the stuff which will happen there.

I'll post up the deck list once i finalize it and get some results. Until then, its testing, testing and more testing.

Start of the new format

2011-08-29T03:55:00.000-07:00

Today is the first local tournament which will be using the September 1st banlist.

Sad to say that I wasn't able to make it there today. However, this first week of locals would be a good way to look at how people will cope with the new format and look at the deck choices and techs people would be taking up. What's so good about the start of the new format is that there is no massive net-decking yet (unless you're net-decking from Shriek). Thus, this allows a short-lived period whereby people can make use of creativity and predicting what the meta would be.

I myself will head down to a local tournament tomorrow to test new my new Dark World deck for the September format. Hope that the main deck choices plus the side deck techs will be able to give me some results and a good head start in the new format!

Watch out for a tournament report tomorrow!

Update before Exams

2011-08-20T06:51:00.000-07:00

Making a short post.

Gonna MIA for the next week due to examinations, not that I have been updating this blog faithfully. Most probably no tournament reports unless i find some extra time to get down to a local tournament nearby.

Btw, Won 1st at Asia Qualifier Ranking Tournament today. Used Dark World again. Hope it will bring me some results at the end of this format and the start of next format.

Challenge Failed

2011-07-03T03:05:00.000-07:00

Scrubbed like a dog. Miserable record of 1-4

Whole day it was 没有人有门 (Got Gate, no people), or some bloody stupid hand of 2 Kizan, 2 BTH again Debris Dandy.

Don't think i will do a detailed report since there isn't anything worth mentioning, except for some cheap trades i got.

But in the end, no amount of trade will prevent my $20+ from flying away... =_=

Nationals is tomorrow!

2011-07-02T06:25:00.001-07:00

That's right, the big day is tomorrow!

Here's wishing every reader out there good luck and have fun tomorrow!

Hope i will be able to keep my end of the bargain and get into Top 4!

Road to Nationals : Beginning

2011-06-28T01:18:00.000-07:00

Finally found sometime off from school to start putting down my thoughts for the Singapore Nationals, which will be this Sunday.

Today, I will be talking about some of the decks which i THINK will be widely played during our nationals. These are just my thoughts and my point of view, so no hatred please! In no particular order:

- BF (Whirlwind/Graveyard)
- Agent Angels
- Machina Gadget
- Dandy (Junk Doppel/Debris Dandy)

I saw lots of Machina Gadgets during the 4 qualifiers. Maybe because of the single elimination, Machina Gadgets shined as the most consistent deck out of the other choices. Thus, i believe it will definitely make another appearance in the nationals.

Agent Angel would be the current rising star, having a fantastic showing at the Malaysian Nationals. The release of Gachi Gachi Gantetsu and other factors has led to an increase in popularity for this deck. I'll expect a good number of people entering nationals with this.

BF variants will always be in the format, proving themselves as they have survived many formats(and many nerfs). Especially Graveyard BF, which won 2 out of the 4 qualifiers.

Dandy variants will definitely appear at the nationals. However, with out Librarian and Shooting Quasar, i think most of them would lean towards Debris Dandy rather than being pure Junk Doppel.

That's all i have for today! Stay tuned tomorrow if i can think of some stuff to post

The Challenge

2011-06-20T21:31:00.000-07:00

So i was in an MSN conversation with my school friends last night, doing what teenage boys can do, which was to DotA. Along the way of the conversation (we were waiting for the rest of the guys), some of my classmates started talking about YGO, cause they know i play it. Here's how it goes:

*Disclaimer: All vulgarities were removed and replaced for the sake of viewers*

--------------------------------------------------------------

Friend A: "Eh, June already leh...so fast holi going over le..."
Friend B: "Ya loh."
Me: "Ok lah, still got 1 week + mah."

Bukit Batok Top 16 World Qualifer Report

2011-06-19T05:47:00.000-07:00

Deck used: Six Samurai

Format: Single Elimination

Round 1: VS Stark (Scrap Gladiators)
OO

Game 1: First turn Shien, special summoned Kizan and set DEST and Oppression and ended. He set 1 monster and ended, which ate my next turn Trishula and all my monster beat.

Game 2: We exchanged afew blows, while i managed to defeat both of his Scrap Dragons, leaving my field with a single Yaichi and Grandmaster. He attempted to regain control by using Bestiari to attack my Yaichi, but i let my Yaichi drink Forbidden Chalice and he scooped.

Round 2: VS Rong Jie (Agent Angel)
OXO

Game 1: He drew no monsters, and i used Hand and stuff to beat him down.
Game 2: Trunade, followed by Hyperion , Christia and Trishula :(
Game 3: Topdecking mode, which got me a Hand to win.

Round 3: VS William (Grave BF)
XX

Game 1: He OTKed me.
Game 2: Beat me down with Kinetic and Gozen. Not friendly AT ALL :(

Result : Top 8.

Shop owner was kind enough to give out WOW deckboxes for the 4 who lost in Top 8. So i'm ok, since i bought sleeves with the $10 required to purchase stuff with.

The online registration for World Qualifiers will begin on 22th. As there are only 64 slots available, i've got just about 3 days to finish up on modding my deck and ensure myself a slot in a chance to represent Singapore :D

Since its only 64 people, cutting to Top 12, it'll be slightly easier compared to last year's Qualifier whereby it was 64, cut to Top 8.

Gotta find out just what to fill up the last remaining space in my sidedeck and what tech should i play in my main.

That's all for today!

Congrats to William for advancing to Top 16!

Dark World fun!

2011-06-16T07:33:00.001-07:00

Tried out Dark Worlds today.

Damm fun!

Especially in mirror matches.

Khatib Singapore Top 16 WCQ Report

2011-06-05T08:14:00.000-07:00

Wanted to make this a detailed one, but i'm tired from my friend's party, and i have a test tomorrow, so I'm gonna make this a quick one.

Promise i will do a detailed one for the next qualifier or the main event to make the post actually interesting to read :D

Deck used: GB

Format: Single Elimination

Round 1 : BYE

Round 2: VS Milton (Graveyard BF)
XOO

Game 1: Tired to multiple Arms Wings with no outs.
Game 2: Steadily grind for advantage with my GB's together with Holy Light.
Game 3: Same as Game 2

Round 3: VS Kenneth (Infernities)
XX

Game 1: He does all the gay Infernity stunts to gain domination over the field.
Game 2: Struggled with Holy Light, but Infernity Break plus Empty Space Sea Dragon something is too strong.

Conclusion: DIED.

Aftermath: So i think i've got the right ideas for fill in the last few uncertain slots in my side deck and my main deck now. Maybe going to skip the Lorong Ah Soo qualifier and wait for the final one or just try my luck at the main event. Tuned my deck to fight better against Six Sam today but didn't meet any at all...instead i had to meet Infernities, which i can only side my stuff for Graveyard BF in to fight it again. Most probably going to go back to the drawing board and decide on how to make my deck better in time for the event.

CONFIDENCE!

BYE!

Post that I promised

2011-04-17T06:26:00.001-07:00

That's right, finally found time to do a quick post.

So, what have YGO stuff have i been doing for the past few weeks? Mainly, i've been joining weekly tournaments as much as i can with my current deck, which is Grave BF. It proves to be a really strong deck, reflecting the number of tops it has currently in Japan. Still, it died to Gravekeepers and other decks like Frog Monarchs.

So Grave BF is starting to get a little boring for me, thus i'm trying out some other decks which are more combo-oriented. One of them was Psychic Plant. But i didn't really like that either, having no access to stuff like Dandylion and Lonefire. Then i tried out a deck which i've always wanted to try: Karakuri Machina

Unlike most people whom play the Plant Varient (KMP), i'm currently trying out what the TCG had been playing awhile before converting to the Plant version, which is simply using a mini Psychic Engine of Emergency Teleport + Mind Master + some other Psychic. It basically means i have 1 more One for One which makes this version a little more focused on the Double/Triple Bureido stunts. Liking what i've experienced, i'll most probably be forming this deck to play whenever i'm tired of my main. Haha :D

Finally, to end off this post, i'll talk about the latest news on the Dark World SD.

Artwork for the main monster is freaking cool! So is it's effect. It's pretty much going to be another Machina/Dragunity/Agent Structure Deck, where 3 of them would make the whole deck playable. Looking forward to it!

No report this week

2011-04-15T07:33:00.000-07:00

Spending some time with friends before school reopens next week.

So there won't be any tournament report this week. But i'll find some spare time tomorrow or Sunday to bring an article about....something.

Realized that my blog is kinda dying already, only having tournament reports and all.

Another reason for the really lack of posts even though its my holidays now is due to this:

Yes, i caught the Pokemon fever too. Spending lots of time playing this. Sad to say i'm only playing this on a DS Emulator :D No money buy NDS... :(

That's all for today.

Stay tuned!

Big Question

2011-03-20T02:12:00.000-07:00

No idea what to play in this new format.

Karakuri Machina Plant, Hero Beat, Gravekeepers, Graveyard BF, etc etc.

Sooooo many choices, yet i can't think of what i should play....

Luckily i'm working part-time now, so i can only join tourneys every now and then.

KMP is like the new Six Sam.

Gravekeeper and Hero Beat are the beatdown/irritating decks.

Finally, Graveyard BF is....Graveyard BF.

Anyone can tell me what to play?

Mini Tournament @ Cardmaster (23/12)

2010-12-23T04:39:00.001-08:00

Deck used : Hyperion Kristya

Format : Swiss of 3 Rounds to determine Top 8. No Top 8 playoff.

Match 1 : VS ??? (Frog Monarchs)
XX

Game 1 : Bad hand. Got controlled by his spamming of monarchs.
Game 2 : Worse hand. Died to Swap Frog poking.

Match 2 : VS Poh Sheng (Sorry if i get the name wrong) (Karakuri Machina)
XOO

Game 1: My hand was subpar compared to his godly hand.
Game 2: Hyperion + Kristya lockdown
Game 3: Hyperion + Kristya + Brionac + Cold Wave lockdown

Match 3 : VS ??? (Gladiator Beasts)
OO

Game 1: Cold Wave + Black Rose gave me too much advantage.
Game 2: Same thing as Game 1.

Final Score : 2-1

Buttt....i didn't make it into Top 8. Think i was around 9th-10th?

Anyways, had fun playing this deck, so i'll go back and mod it abit more. Saw some flaws today and it was quite a good experience for me.

- Tanngnjóstr allows you to make Black Rose plays by itself, summoning Guldfaxe.

- Gleipnir acts as a dummy MST target to gain advantage.

- Forbidden Holy Lance helps protect your Thor from stuff like Dimensional Prison

- Hamster into Tanngnjostr allows you to make any Lvl 7-8 Synchro, mainly Scrap Dragon so that you can use its effect to gain advantage.

Go ahead!

Have a try at this deck!

I had alot of fun playing with this deck, summoning Thor so easily and reviving it like mad XD

No Money!

2010-12-18T19:16:00.000-08:00

Personally, i would blame the "spamming English Packs" part.

So, no more packs for me! Must start saving money to put back.

That is....

until GS 2011 comes :)

That's all folks!

No tournies for me cause i'm going on my overseas study trip next weekend.

Really gotta stop scrubbing like a dog.

I love English Packs.

2010-11-25T04:38:00.001-08:00

The Duelist Genesis = ULT Emergency Teleport

Crossroads of Chaos = ULT Plaguespreader Zombie

Crimson Crisis = Dark Dive Bomber

Raging Battle = Didn't go and buy.

Ancient Prophecy = Crap

Stardust Overdrive = Didn't buy. Crappy pack.

Bye!

Holidays are coming to an end...

2010-10-22T07:12:00.001-07:00

Means...less YGO XD

Ya, i realized that i haven't been active in YGO much during the holidays either. -_-

Because of my little brother's preparation for PSLE, i haven't been able to play much. The only times i remember playing quite a lot is during the pre-selections for Asia Qualifiers. I guess i will put out some time from schoolwork to go down to the locals like my first semester.

Anyways, back on track here, scrubbed during last week's pre-selection @ Gamehaven. So, i'm hoping that this week, i can hopefully secure a place in the Top 8. I promise a tournament report this Sunday after i come back, regardless of whether i scrubbed or not.

Using a very uncommon deck for this last selection =P

Hope it gives me an edge over the other expected decks.

I guess that's all i have, not much ideas to work on right now, unless someone can sell me 1 Volcanic Shell XD It's ok i guess, i have 2 deck lists in mind for 2 articles which i think i will be typing out next week, either in class or at home. Stay tuned for these upcoming stuff, i promise i'll type them out! No matter how lazy i am

Bye!

Tournament Report @ Jurong East (15th Oct)

2010-10-16T07:14:00.000-07:00

Got my Zephyros, which was cool.

Entered cause there was a lack of people and it means win/lose also also can early go.

_______________________________________________________________

Deck used : BF

Format : 3 Rounds of Swiss. Win first 2 = Auto Top 4.

Match 1 : Faz (Dandy Scraps)
OO

Game 1 : Early advantage with Whirlwind. Solemn Warning controlled him.
Game 2 : Prevented all his Grannel's from coming, while destroying Snowman's with Icarus.

Match 2 : Hongli (Machina Gadget)
OXO

Game 1 : Kept on using Solemn Warning on his gadget and Gearframe, which allowed me to swarm and win
Game 2 : Holy Light controlled me, with a monster hand
Game 3 : Skill Drain helped me win this game. He completely didn't expect it.

So i auto Top 4'ed, if there is such a word.

Here comes the stupid part. Had to leave early, so i passed Wee Min my deck and asked him to play for me, which got me 4th, and a PP4.

Ranking : 4th

______________________________________________________________

Oh well, at least i didn't use up my luck XD

Must gather luck for tomorrow. Tomorrow is more important!

Expect a report tomorrow.

Bye!

Team Tournament Pre-Selection Event @ Khatib Report!

2010-10-09T06:17:00.001-07:00

My team was :

Team Garfield (Stupid name ftw...)

Me (Leader) = BF
Rong Jie (Member A) = GB
Wee Min (Member B) = Quickdraw Dandy

There was only 6 teams today.. =_=

Nothing interesting from our 12 packs too, as the Scrap Dragon was taken by a certain someone =P

_________________________________________________________________

Round 1 : Team ABCDE (Aaron, Jia Jie and Timothy)

Me VS Aaron = WIN
Rong Jie VS Jia Jie = WIN
Wee Min VS Timothy = LOSE

Round 1 : Controlled him with Oppression, Solemn Warning and Solemn Judgment.
Round 2 : Forgot how i died XD
Round 3 : Controlled him again and gained advantage through Black Whirlwind.

Round 2 : Team ???? (Jeff, Xiao Mei, Baha)

Me VS Jeff (LOSE)
Rong Jie VS Xiao Mei (WIN)
Wee Min VS Baha (LOSE)

Round 1 : Lost to Swallow's Nest
Round 2 : He summoned Dark Armed and Goyo, but i turned the table with Sirocco focusing.
Round 3 : Also lost to Swallow's Nest, that card too strong le.

__________________________________________________________________

So in the end we died in the semi finals, like i said, the semi final's part is just to make us feel better from scrubbing.. -_-

There was supposed to be a normal tourney, but there wasn't enough people, so it was canceled. I spent the afternoon testing Chest BF with random decks like mirror match, Hero Beat, Infernity (with Barrier), X-Sabers (TCG) and other kinds of random stuff. Nobody was selling Trishula, so i didn't get a chance to buy 1.

Sad.

I think i'll try to go for another selection, most likely the fourth one. $12 is damm pain ok?

That's all for today,

Bye!

OCG X-Sabers

2010-10-02T23:08:00.000-07:00

Yes!

They finally topped a tournament in Japan!

About time man, was wondering when will it happen.

Just abit curious to why there is no Saber Holes inside, not even 1.

In other news, i'm totally hyped up about next week's selection. Too bad i had to miss the one happening today. In anticipation to it, i went to dig up my pile of cards in the storeroom for some inspiration, but all i found was....A LOT of Volcanic Shells.

LOL!

An omen? Or just to show how stupid i was when Force of the Breaker came out? I have no idea.

But it's cool. I'll most probably edit my Sabers abit more until i think it's ready to bring to some tournament where i won't see any Darksouls... @_@ no money buy.

That's all for today,

Good luck to everyone playing today (Or playing right now for the first selections!)

Asia Qualifers Plus is coming!

2010-09-26T00:28:00.000-07:00

That's right!

The first selection is on next week! Which is so coincidentally 2 days before my birthday.

So have you guys decided on what decks to play yet?

As we all know, the combination of 3 decks to play would be decks which are independent and hold their own without commonly used cards.

Like : Frog Monarch + Heralds + Infernity?

Or : Quick-Dandy, Frog Monarch, Blackwings?

It's going to be real fun seeing all the new techs and decks which people will play in this team format.

That's all guys!

Back! Progress Report!

2010-09-21T22:48:00.001-07:00

Back from my class chalet that was on Monday to Wednesday.

Here's a little update on some deck's i've been working on, and will be working/testing out in the next few days!

#1 : X-Sabers!

I'm working on a OCG build, with no Boggart Knight and Darksoul, mainly cause i have no money for them. Still tweeking around with some card choices and other stuff. Main issues are those which Darksoul helps prevents, which are dead Faultrolls and even losses of advantage.

#2 : Synchro Dog!

Yes! With Hamsters now available to us, i'm looking forward to testing this deck out. Slightly hyped in the first YCS of the September Banlist, this is what Synchro Cat has became with the banning of Rescue Cat, a core card. Thus, the deck now focuses on the Flamvell part of the deck, gaining access to multiple Synchro Summons in a single turn, something else Flamvell's are famous for, due to Rekindling.

#3 : Moja

Fun deck! Favorite combos include summoning Beast Striker and discarding Plaguespreader/Grow-up Bulb. Weaknesses includes the fact that the deck focuses too much on the summoning of King of the Beast, that removal from cards such as Caius, Dimensional Prison and Bottomless Trap Hole.

That's all for today!

Stay tuned for updates and decklists when i finalized them.

Screw Frigg's Apple, I've got myself some goat!

2010-09-16T06:06:00.000-07:00

Screw the damm Apple trap card!

We have better things to talk about in Storm of Ragnarok!

That's right: The Polar Star Beasts!!!

A lot of combos formed in my head while i was reading all of each and everyone of their effects. General support for this theme could be :

- Super-Mega Nimble Hamster

- Gravekeeper Engine? (Spy + Descendant)

- Green Baboon perhaps?

- Maybe even those Beast -Supports from DREV?

Off of my head, i could already form some combos, like....

1) Opp whack Hamster, Hamster dies
- Set a Ryko through Hamster effect, Special Summon PSB Tanngnjostr
- Next turn flip Ryko to destroy random S/T
- Change PSB Tanngnjostr to ATK mode to SP Gullfaxi
- Synchro for Trishula! (4+3+2)

2) Opp whack PSB Tanngrisnir, SP 2 tokens
- Special Summon PSB Tanngnjostr from hand
- Next turn switch position to Special Summon PSB Gullfaxi
- Tune 2 tokens and PSB Gullfaxi into Polar God Monarch - Thor!
- Activate that random Grow-up Bulb's effect and make a Armory Arm!

3) Opp whack into Gravekeeper's Spy and destroys it.
- Special summon another Spy and a PSB Tanngnjostr from your hand.
- Next turn, switch Tanngnjostr's position to Special Summon PSB Gullfaxi
- Tune the Spy with Gullfaxi for Scrap Dragon!
- Destroy your own Tanngnjostr and your opponent's card or something. +1!

Look at the potential! These guys aren't just normal goats , aren't they?

Wonder what will the Polar Star Spirits will be like...like their anime counterparts perhaps?

Oh well, we'll just have to wait for their effects.

Finally, as a final note, Kizan is too strong!

Yaichi + Kizan + Grandmaster + Shogun + Shogun

@_@

No Grandmaster also can play liao.

Extra Pack 3 Rarities

2010-09-14T23:56:00.000-07:00

From another blog, it appears that..

- Gardestrike and Battlestorm are Ultras.

- The Super Rares are KKM Maximus, Swallow's Nest, Card Guard and Gateway of the SS.

...

......

.........

Thoughts? Am i the only one who thinks the rares (Emmersblade..) and the commons (Hamster..) are more useful? Sure, i know every card has it's uses, but i just don't see myself or others buying 1 box just for the foils. Looks like it's going to be singles for me then..

Going to get :

3 XX-Saber Emmersblade
3 Super Mega Nimble Hamster
2 Swallow's Nest
A few Gardestrikes if someone makes a decent X-Saber build with no TCG stuff.

LOL, i guess that's it for this meaningless post.

More Nobleman of Crossout fun after EXP3 is out!

Khatib Tournament (11/9/10)

2010-09-11T05:15:00.000-07:00

Deck used : Whirlwind Black Feather

Format : 3 Round of Swiss

Match 1: Shelton (Lightlords)
OXX
Game 1: Beat him down with Shura and backup Bizzards
Game 2: Holy Light killed me when i had no outs to it.
Game 3: I guess it's the same as Game 2? Only this time he had other stuff.

Match 2: Pampers (Macro Monarch)
OO
Game 1: Beated him down.
Game 2: Same as Game 1.

Match 3: Clarence (Dimensional Eatos)
OO
Game 1: Beated him down with Shura + others
Game 2: Stalled with Snowman Eater, and proceed to counterattack with some Blizzards.

Top 16: Jeremy (Machina Gadget)
XOX
Game 1 : Rai-Oh controlled me, and he had too many answers to my summons.
Game 2 : Giant Trunade and Cyber Dragon gave me control.
Game 3 : Epic game. I DDV'ed him, making him lose 3 monsters. He used Gearframe to attack me continuously, while i kept on drawing no monsters and more DDV and Icarus Attack. Wanted to wait until he deplete his hand to summon Fortress so that i can Dark Hole him. But i lost in the end.

Learnt a lot today. Going back to tweek my deck a little more.

That's all for today.

Bye!

Exams are over!

2010-09-09T06:55:00.000-07:00

Yes! Exams are over! Which means more YGO!

Sorry for the lag of posts for the last weeks, as most of the time i was busy studying and preparing for my Final Term Papers. So now, i'm a free man!

I'll be heading down to Khatib this Saturday, hopefully with the cards i need from Joz. His mail hasn't arrived yet, so i'm short of some stuff.

Worst comes to worse, i'll just play without the stuff.

Today's 5D's episode was cool. Waiting for some manga chapters to be released.

That's all for today i guess. More updates coming soon!

Tourney Report (27th August)

2010-08-27T05:54:00.000-07:00

Deck used : Blackwings

Format : Sept 1st Banlist, Swiss of 3 rounds.

-----------------------------------------------------------

1st Match : Xing You (Herald of Perfection)
XOO

R1: Herald on 1st turn with 5 hand, with me having a spell/trap hand. Kept my cards.

NEVER GIVE UP!!!!!!!

BB!

Some stuff to consider

2010-08-24T18:55:00.000-07:00

So, starting this week, there are tournaments using the new Sept 1st Banlist already.

Which means fresh new deck ideas, new meta, etc.

For those whom do not have any ideas on what to run/tech/side, here's some reference for you to take a look.

As you can see, Whirlwind BF is still popping out in almost every team. Frog Emperor took 1st, which was surprising to me @_@.

The idea of Plant-Dragunity also seems very good and consistant, dumping Dandylion and Grow-Up Bulb through the use of Dragon Canyon, and providing 3 nukes with Debris Dragon, should the need arise.

I myself am still considering what to play this Friday/Saturday. So stay tuned for more posts!

What to play next format?

2010-08-19T05:56:00.000-07:00

Tough question?

It is to me...

Have no idea what to play for the next format. So many decks to choose from, so many ideas popping out every now and then while i'm studying XD

Obviously, with Black Rose Dragon going to 3, the next top deck would be between...

"QUICKDRAW DANDYWARRIOR VS SALVODAD"

That's right, both of which can just spam Black Rose from 1 card whenever they want to~

Next up in line would be Lightsworn, Blackwings and Gladiator Beast.

With no Heavy Storm and 2 MST, Gladiator Beast won't fear setting all of their M/T now, as they have an easy out to BRD also, the 2 MST's also dealing with Royal Decree @ 3.

More Twilight variants of Lightsworn will start popping out due to the Chaos Sorcerer going to 2.

Blackwings are still going strong even with the loss of 1 Whirlwind and 1 Oppression. Some people have to discussing about converting Blackwings into a Pseudo-Chaos deck, with mained Thunder Kings and Chaos Sorcerer (Not to be confused with Twilight Beat). 2 MST's also help deal with those pesky Bottomless Trap Holes while Delta Crow - Anti Reverse will act as a weakened Heavy Storm for them.

Now, we have those unaffected decks, like Heralds, Dragunity and Machina

Heralds get a boost from 3 Royal Decree.

Dragunity will have to be careful now due to everyone playing 2 MST.

Machina will have to be careful also, due to 3 Cyber Dragons.

3 Cyber Dragons also mean that the CYBER END DECKS ARE BACK! Now i just can Power Bond into Cyber End and smash right into your Ryko~ And drop Honest while i'm at it~

It also means that random Power Bond decks will pop out now. Maybe people will Power Bond summon Cyber Twin and OTK you for all i care. It happened to me once, and it wasn't funny at all.

And there are those other decks which i'm pretty lazy to mention , MGS, Frogs, etcetcetcetcidungiveashit.

That's my perspective.

So, up til the end of doing this post, i STILL don't know what to play...haiz...

September 1st Banlist

2010-08-18T00:59:00.000-07:00

Banned:

Rescue Cat
Heavy Storm
Brain Control
Substitoad

Limited:

Black Whirlwind
Royal Oppression
Infernity Gun
Trishula
Monster Reborn
Dark Hole

Semi:
Mystical Space Typhoon
Chaos Sorcerer
Snipe Hunter
Ojama Trio
Magic Cylinder

Unlimited:

Black Rose Dragon
Goblin Zombie
Cyber Dragon
Treeborn Frog
Royal Decree
United We Stand

Comments :

1) What needs to be banned, got banned, which is good. Although abit sad for Rescue Cat~

2) Why Monster Reborn and Dark Hole come back? So broken cards still can come back...

3) Infernity got nerfed, as predicted. Gun at 1 and no hits for Archfiend makes it still playable.

4) CHAOS SORC IS BACK! CYBER DRAGON AT 3, means more threat for Machines.

and finally....

WHY THE FUCK IS BLACK ROSE DRAGON BACK TO 3?

When Dandylion didn't even get hit. Next top tier deck is confirmed to be Quickdraw DandyWarrior. They have 4 Dark Holes at their disposal, what else can go wrong? Encourages more people to play 2-3 Starlight Roads into their deck much?

PREDICTION for next meta :

1) Quickdraw DandyWarrior
2) Dragunity
3) Blackwings

Nuff said.

Bye!

Explosive Beast Valcanon

2010-08-16T07:03:00.001-07:00

1 Machine-Type monster + 1 Pyro-Type monster
When this card is Fusion Summoned, you can select 1 monster your opponent controls. Destroy this card and the selected card and send them to the Graveyard to inflict damage to your opponent equal to the ATK of that selected monster.

So, i was just dabbling around with the card from the VJump Edition Pack, and the most interesting card was this. A "Ring of Destruction" effect, although you don't take damage from it, but in return, this guy has to go too. Although it may seem as a waste of cards as you have to Fusion Summon it which would mean :

- 1 Machine-Type Monster
- 1 Pyro-Type Monster
- 1 Polymerization

+1 Explosive Beast Valcanon

+1 Opponent's monster destroyed
-1 Explosive Beast Valcanon

= -2 in terms of advantage in exchange for potential LP damage to your opponent.

BUT!

When you play with things like GADGETS and VOLCANICS...

It just simplifies to :

-1 Polymerization

in exchange for

+1 Your opponent's monster destroyed + LP damage.

How cool is that? Although i perfectly agree with those whom just wan to Earth Smash the other monster/Fissure/Lightning Vortex/etc.

But i feel that this is a pretty cool concept, combining the self-replacement of Gadgets with the self-replacement of Volcanic Bullets and easy removal and advantage through Volcanic Rocket and Blaze Accelerator.

Wonder if people might make a deck out of it.

I'm trying to, if i can only get another copy of this guy...

That's all for today

Tournament Report @ Jurong East (14th August)

2010-08-14T06:51:00.000-07:00

Today is the start of the YOG! What better way to celebrate by playing YGO!

======================================================

Deck used : Blackwings

Format : Swiss of 3 rounds, cut to Top 4

Match 1 : VS Eugene (Lightsworn)
OO

R1 : Swarm + Damudo beatdown.
R2 : Swarm + Vayu making Arms Wing.

Match 2 : VS Keith (FROG FTK)
OXO

R1: He got a bad hand. So i took the chance to rush him with Shura + other stuff.
R2: He started with a bad hand, then Card Destruction into a god hand... =_=
R3: Mind Crushed his Swap Frog and he had no fodder for Substitoad + Mass Driver. Rushed him before he drew too much.

2-0 (Auto into Top 4)

Top 4 : VS Milton (Blackwings)
XX

R1 : Damudo didn't save me!
R2 : He rushed me after i tried to rush him.

3rd/4th : VS Small Bryan (Machina Gadget)
XX

R1 : Forgot what happened
R2 : Fatal mistake caused me to lose.

Ranking : 4th.

================================================

I was allowed to take the VJump Pack after Bryan said he wanted the Wisel Infinity, so in a sense i was kinda lucky to get my prize today.

Looks like eating frog porridge really worked~

So this is the last tournament i enjoy before the banlist is released and i get the shock of my life. What else can go wrong? Thankfully, September 1st is still 2 weeks away~

Hope Chaos Sorcerer gets unlimited~

That's all for today.

Bye!

Holidays!

2010-08-09T02:58:00.000-07:00

The holidays is here! (For me and some others that is...)

The Banlist is coming next week i think!

So the spirit of competition is kinda low for me.

Yup! Expect more posts now that i have nothing to do for 1 month other than studying..

Oyeah, i scrubbed 3 days ago at the Jurong East Tournament with Machina Gadget. Didn't really like that deck anyways. So i'm just sticking to my Cat deck until the banlist is out and crossing my fingers that Rescue Cat won't be banned like those leaked fake lists online on Pojo/otherforums.

Now,i don't really like speculating about these kind of ban list stuff, but i have some cards in mind which WOULD be hit, like....

Trishula!
Infernity Gun!
Infernity Daemon!
Substitoad!

I guess these will definitely get hit, but i'm not really sure about other cards. Machina Gearframe and Fortress might be hit somehow too. Hoping that X-Sabers won't be hurt as we haven't even gotten to use all the gayness yet in the OCG.

BF may not be hit too much either in order to further promote the BF supports which Crow will use in future episodes, also promoting the sales of the Duelist Pack! Because its all about $$$ for our Konami!

I'm pretty sure that Substitoad will 100% get hit (Mind Master says Hi!), hence destroying the Frog FTK and hurting Frog Monarchs.

Looking forward to Storm of Ragnarok and EXP3!

that's all for today!

Stay tuned for more posts coming your way!

Miserable

2010-07-31T06:33:00.000-07:00

2010-07-26T21:08:00.000-07:00

3) I'm dropping Synchro Cat for now. Playing another deck~

4) Reading banlist predictions is damm fun~

That's all for now. Gotta listen to class.

Wishlist - Starstike Blast!

2010-07-14T01:55:00.001-07:00

Translations are up by DuelingDays!

As such, here's my checklist/wishlist. Just want these cards, nothing more!

________________________________________________________

MOST IMPORTANT : 2 Supreme Wizard Arcanite Magician!!!!!

1) Elec supports x 3 (ALL COME TO ME!)
2) Shooting Star Dragon x 1 (Any rarity)
3) Formula Synchron x 1
4) Karakuri Ninja Sazanku x 2-3
5) Power Breaker x 2-3
6) Karakuri Shogun - Burei x 1
7) Half Counter x 3
8) Ability Absorbing Stone x 3
________________________________________________________

Will constantly update this part to take note myself of what to get.

A lot of cool and interesting cards in STBL.

Deciding on whether to buy box or not.

That's all for today.

Byebye!

Project work kills!

2010-07-10T07:18:00.000-07:00

School says it's called "E-Learning Week".

I say : Go and eat shit. So much project work? Two 1.5k word reports + other random crap is not my idea of learning at home...

Yarh, so that's what i have been doing for the past whole week. No time for YGO this week, so missed quite a few tournaments. So not much things to blog about. I dismantled my Cat Synchro as i was a little bored with it already, plus bad scrubbing streak still hurts =P Changed into another deck to play with for next week! Can't wait for STBL and my new Elec supports!

Meanwhile, on the news side, Fleur Synchron and Fleur de Chevalier makes buying Tag Force 5 worth it!! I like how Fleur Synchron is abusable with Gadgets, while Chevalier is used in Quickdraw. Cool, good supports imo.

That's all for today..quite tired, so not blogging alot.

byebye!

Starstrike Blast : Cards i'm looking forward to!

2010-07-07T23:23:00.000-07:00

I was going to do a post on some cards in EXP3. Then i realized that everyone should have already known what are the good cards in it and what to look out for (X-Sabers , Hamster). So instead, i'm doing a post on what cards i'm looking forward to in Starstrike Blast.

====================================================

1st : Elecs!

- Yup, these are the cards which i'm looking forward to the most. They will have their own Elec Wall (2 Crickets) which won't die to Brionac/Book of Moon! They will get their own COTH, Dragonfly would be like a Naturia Cliff for Elecs but abit weaker. Finally, Eleccastle and Eleckeeper are supports which Elecs need right now : Attack modification and resurrection to rush more. Expect me to come up with some random decklist after i can these cards.

2nd : Shooting Star Dragon + Formula Synchron

- Yup, the much looked forward to concept of Accel Synchro! Formula Synchron is easy to summon with any 1 star Tuner + Kinka-byo , as shown in a video posted by Duelingdays. Stardust is already easy to summon out with so many decks. Formula Synchron also acts as a protection for Stardust in case your opponent tries to remove it somehow, then you can just Accel Synchro for Shooting Star Dragon! I'll get 1 of each for collection, or more if it becomes a popular deck to play.

3rd : Power Breaker and Karakuri Ninja

- One word : Splashable. Power Breaker can be potential side deck tech against decks like BF. While Ninja is splashble in decks with its good effect. Sending Stardust to the grave is not funny at all, although it's DEF is rather weak compared to Snowman Eater.

All these are just the tip of the iceberg in my opinion, as the complete spoiler is not out yet. There might be even better cards in this set, so stay tuned for updates at Shriek

Thanks all for today, Bye!

Current X-Sabers

2010-07-04T23:04:00.000-07:00

Not really playable currently.

The only thing we can make the deck around would be the Gottoms loop, discarding your opponent's entire hand. then rushing for game.

Very little people would bother trying X-Sabers now, not until EXP3 is out, when we have Fullhelmknight , Emmersblade and to a lesser extent , Gardestrike

Nobody but me ^^

That's all for today

Bye!

Tournament Report (3rd July)

2010-07-03T05:13:00.000-07:00

Format : Swiss of 3 rounds (Tag Team was changed to normal tourney)

========================================================

Match 1 : VS KEN! (BF)
OXO

R1 : He tried to make the game simply with more Icarus, but i still won
R2 : Whirlwind farming is too strong.
R3 : My Arcanite Tempest hand loved his all monster hand

1-0

Match 2 : VS Bryan (Burning Bird)
XOO

R1 : Too many burn cards.
R2 : Abused Book of Moon TTM. Skill Drain was powerless.
R3 : Same thing, and Brionac dominated.

2-0

Match 3 : VS Jonas (BF)
XOX

R1 : Forgot.
R2 : Topdecking mode. Solemn his Blizzard and he had nothing left.
R3 : Brain Control is too strong.

Result : Scrub again luh

=================================================

Jonas got his revenge =O

It's ok, cause i can get revenge next time ^^

That's all for today!

Sayonara!

Lack of posts for this week!

2010-06-30T06:37:00.000-07:00

As title.

I'm very busy this week with all the tests and project presentations being bombarded to me faster than better Trishula'ed by Infernity.

No choice, so i don't be blogging much this week.

HOWEVER!

I promise a tag team tournament report on Saturday, and a deck post on Sunday!

Stay tune to it!

Thanks for understanding~

Bye!

Back to school...

2010-06-27T02:24:00.001-07:00

School reopens again tomorrow, which means back to poly life for me.. @_@

Anyways, the 2 weeks of holidays were as if it wasn't holidays... more than 1 week was spent on the stupid GK summit event at school, plus projects = like school days liddat.. Regardless, there was still time for me to go down and play more often, including World Qualifers, which was damm sad.

Also, there is a Tag Team tournament on 10th July!! Long time no see!! Although i don't have meta decks such as BF and Infernity, which would be good to run in pairs, i'll still try to find a partner for it. Plus, i got alot of new stuff within these new days (wallet feels empty -_-''), which can let me build more decks =P

Finally, my project presentation for Social Enterprise is on Thursday. Hope i don't screw this one up like IT APP. Retarded teachers give retarded grades, thats all i can say.

So it's good bye to my cards on weekdays!

BB?

Combining

2010-06-23T07:52:00.001-07:00

What happens when you combine an archetype which you like the most, with the most irritating archetype in your mind?

The result??

A whole new deck!!!

That's right, i'm trying to do that~

It's coming along fine, just need a few more pieces of the puzzle before i can finally play the deck in a tournament and publish it here.

Btw, it's not originated by me, so i'll give credits to the creator of the idea when i post the decklist.

That's all for tonight!

Random thought while doing project at friend's house!

2010-06-21T20:21:00.000-07:00

Firstly, after some persuading from Chard-sama , I have decided to continue playing my dear Synchro Cat deck~ If Redempt can continue playing Lightlords and dominate with it, i don't see the reason why i can't.

Editted the entire decklist though, needed some changes to fight with BF/Infernity.

Then, looks like Ken's coming to SG next week! Really like how one blogger after another is coming to SG. First is Andrew, then Ken, who's next? Mike?

Finally, i need some Swap Frogs and Treeborn Frogs!!! Someone sell/trade/give me some please!!

That's all for this small little update~

Back to project work...

Scrubby Day

2010-06-20T08:10:00.000-07:00

Yeah, scrubbed at nationals today.

Sold some stuff, bought some stuff, that's about it. Watched Redempt play in Top 8 but he sadly lost. Jeric got 2nd, so grats to him!

My matchups were BF, Frog FTK, Colin Superspecial Synchron Delight, Frog Monarch and BF. Let's just say that the frogs screwed up my scores. Yeah, i hate Frogs now, sharing the same hatred as Blackie. Nvm, next time will have stuff to counter them le.

Yeah, boring report ftw!

Nothing to say lar, lose then lose loh, luck wasn't really with me today, as with every other day.

Putting my Synchro Cat into a nice deckbox and leaving it on the shelf for awhile, cause abit tired of playing it for so long. Time to change deck again!

Dunno what to form/reform.

See how bah, finish project then think about it.

BB

Day before World Qualifer!

2010-06-19T04:57:00.000-07:00

Yup, it's the night before the big day!

Preparing a lot of things to bring for tmr. My album , spare cards to sell , deck, sidedeck and extra deck, and a lot of stupid stuff such as calculator,paper, etcetcetcetcetecetc.

I think i might take a break from YGO after tmr. Gotta start working on those holiday projects which are not done =P

Meanwhile, i'm eager to get the new Elec support which will be coming in Star Strike Blast! Gotta love those cute Pikachu-like animals!

Also, i've been thinking of a good Gadget build to play with. Dun think i'll play the Machina build since Chimeratech Fortress will pop out after tomorrow.

Yup, that's all i can say now. All i can do now is to pray, pray, pray ,pray and hope that the Goddess of Luck will be with me tomorrow!

Sayonara! Gambatte!!!

*Goes to pray*

Got some trades today too! Sold some stuff and brought my Scrap Dragon!

That's all for today!

Expect a report on Sunday night for the World Qualifers!

Bye~!

Countdown : 4 days more!

2010-06-15T19:58:00.000-07:00

It's 4 more days to World Qualifiers, and everyone is up and training rigorously for it (i think?)

Anyways, i have been a bit slacking these few days from training due to stuff from school and class parties, so..hehehehehehe. *i think i better continue soon...*

Meanwhile, i finalized the decklist for my deck which i'm taking to Pomo this Sunday! Added some minor changes to the side deck and the main so that i can deal with the minority decks which would appear such as Lightlords, Froggy Monarch, Synchro Cat, etc etc.

Scrubbed at the Jurong East Trishula Tournament last Saturday, so there wasn't really anything to write about. But i guess i'll be joining the Trishula tournament this Friday, which would be in the World Qualifier's format, which means NO GETTING TRISHULA-ED 3 TIMES!!!!!

Yarh, exaggerating ftw!

Couldn't meet Andrew yesterday since it was my class party. I guess i'll meet him at locals this week or something.

That's all for now! I still have two 1500 words essays to plan out.

Bye!
