So, hey guys, it's JJ ... I don't know why I'm introducing myself.
Anyways, I went to a the Toronto Regionals on May 31st, more as an excuse to enjoy a wonderful, and rare, Saturday off. I had no idea what I was running basically until I got there. Was hoping to get some cards I was missing, update my now somewhat depleted collection for more Local deals and expand for the mega conference of TCGRev taking place at YCS Toronto this year. Myself, Yoh Komori and Ragda will be there, so hopefully we'll see you all there come September!
As I was saying, was up all the previous night trying to organize a decent binder with what I had, and build a deck simultaneously. It was between New Glads, Mermails and Harpies. I ended up build a Traptrix Harpie deck with a full compliment of cards that would allow me to bypass some of the HAT decks running around. Here ws what I ran
Couldn't find every card I wanted to, but this seemed decent going into the event. Although I was missing half the deck when I came in and sat down. Within, say, 15 minutes, a small binder and $20 I had my missing Hands, 101, Traptrix Holes and such.
So I get to register and here we go (Note* I only played 6 rounds and then left to go finish some stuff in town before going home)
Also note... this is all from a memory on no sleep bare with me please.
Round 1: Fire Kings
Didn't realize what was happening until Game 2. I was totally caught off guard Game 1, with a half dozen Garunix plays on my small push fields and no backrow.
Game 2: I opened well, remember playing Duality into D.D. Crow, and making a Harpie Channeler play for a Dracossack + Tokens. He Onslaughts into Garunix, destroys a token in battle, it gets destroyed in end phase, I D.D. Crow it. The next turn I just swarm for game.
Game 3: It came down to a 101 stealing a Yaksha, and then he replies with 101, stealing 101. Lost then later to a cowboy after I flip Hysteric Party for a defense stand.
0-1
Round 2: Evilswarm
Game 1: All I remember is double Reckless Greed for Soul Charge, and a field of 101/Harpie Phantasmal Dragon after I had managed to Solemn an Ophion Summon. He didn't have a response.
Game 2: He managed an Ophion Lock, and even after double Zerofyne effect, a 101 steal attempted, and Phantasmal attacking for 6000 damage total, he still got me.
Game 3: Ophion. Macro. Dimensional Fissure. GG
0-2
Round 3 - Ghostricks
Game 1: he tries to stall with Jack Frost, Lantern and such. I end up just using Maxx "C" as he was SSing a massive chain of defensive monsters to then push for Cowboy/Phantasmal at some point. It was 8000-0 by the end of it.
Game 2: Multiple Harpies' Hunting Ground ended it quickly along with an Exciton play ends it.
1-2
Round 4 - Mermails
Game 1: He opens Shark, Trite and Mechquipped. I open triple Sign.
Game 2: I flip TRIPLE RECKLESS GREED into soul Charge/TT/Hysteric Sign/Hysteric Party. I pulverize with a 5 XYZ Monster field over many Linde/Teus/etc.
Game 3 - Very back in forth until he Pike's late game for an Undine, flips a facedown Double Summon in Mainphase 1, Normals Undine, send Dragoons for Genex/Moulinglacia. Then proceeds to Foolish for Fishborg, summons it, discarding Gunde. Gunde grabs Turge, which he then XYZ's for Bahamut, then Trite, than drops Moulinglacia to Sign in hand. I flip TT, discard Sign. Shortly after he sent me the handshake.
2-2
Round 5 - Mermails
Game 1: Literally the rush of the tiny Sea Serpents. I thought he was playing some sort of Atlantean turbo that drew so bad. Turns out it was Mermail when I Bottomless a Pike, and then proceed to Dionaea -> Myrmelo, pop Dimensional Prison into Abyss Dweller for game.
Game 2: Drops Shark/Trite/Mechquipped, I managed to Hysteric Party discard sign into a 101 for Shark after flipping breakthrough in response to Mechquipped. Quick victory.
3-2
Round 6: Mermails
Game 1: I take Game Loss for lateness because I'm trying to find out when I need to finish my errands for the day.
Game 2: I end up scooping to Soul Charge into Shark/Trite/Quipped/Gaios/Moulinglacia. I was done for the day, dropped.
3-3
So, shortly after this I determined I had a good 45 minutes to make trades and sell. In the span of 35 minutes, I;
Traded Gold Rare Judgments + a set of Ultra Lumina for Ulti Necrovalley and a set of Imperial Tomb.
Sold my Mermail Core (Monster Core top rarity + Spheres Ulti + Shark/Trite/Tidal/Moulinglacia/Gaios) for $130
Picked up a set of STBL Tuning
Finished my set of Hands for a damamged Secret Diamond Dire
Traded away my only extra ultra Veilers for 2 sets of forbidden Scriptures.
Bought some packs pulled an ulti Durendal (not that great tbh)
Bunch of small trades.
All and all. Good day.
Pros:
Not HATs
No Geargia
Decent success with a brand new deck I never had a chane to play
Traptrix Wolfbark
Good trades
Fire/Ice Hands
Cons:
That last game was maddening to watch occur.
Spent more money than intended
Mermail Core could have sold for more, as I asked later of people who were looking badly for it
Head Judge, he's a bit condescending, and not as knowledgeable as most players there.
Still not quite off to snuff for September.
