Game 3: Make a terrible misplay. Already have the advantage with a Skilled Drained Tour guide that kept poking him while his 5 BACKROW never answers him. His LP was at 3k. I drew a monster reborn. I got greedy, ignoring all the backrow and I just reborn his Barbaros to kill.
He got a mirror force waiting >.< .
Even after lucksacking a heavy storm with help of allure of darkness, my fate is sealed.

So I got kicked out,,,,,,,

End of report??/
Nope not yet

Well, it is supposed to be over, we just go back to Yewtee Econ to give a slack, AND it turns out there was ANOTHER YU-GI-Oh TOURNAMENT!!
Sadly, it is not free but since it is just a cheap $2 tournament, I was thinking "Why Not?"
Well, there was a VG tournament going on just about then so it is going to start out quite late, meanwhile we just slacked around.

Turns out one of our WDF members; Victoriette Lim was at Econ.
So we just chit-chat for a while to pass time.

Finally, the tournament starts (FINALLY)

Full Yen Econ Tournament Report (17/03/12)

Finally entered a tourney since last month. This time, got top 4 with Edward and Cheng Wee. Decided to play a Final Countdown instead of Empty Jar because its a lot less combo oriented and I thought it would be funny to see who can do what. Apparently, I've been proven wrong.

Match 1: W-W
Hakim (FC) vs Pei Ming (Infernity)

Round 1:

He start, Dark Grepher, drop and mill, etc. I draw, Final Countdown, thin deck, then I wait. At one point, had one Purgatory Dragon + Barrier Behind. My turn, I activate A Day of Peace, he let it pass, but then he eventually died because he occupied all his zones. Also, he had no Xyz monsters in his extra deck, so pretty jacked from there.

Round 2:
Same as before. He didn't side. I think I just played without siding since he was going to play like a boss.

Match 2: W-L-W
Hakim vs some X-Saber dude who's name I forgot

Round 1:
Struggled like siao. He Gottoms, I almost died. Screw Gottoms.

Round 2: He Gottoms again, I run out of cards to protect myself.

Round 3: He set a bunch of monsters and cards, then he flip summon his monsters but when he attempted to synchro a level 6 monster, I Skill Drain his ass and cock block him for most of the game. But near the end of the game, he bombed my field and hand but it was turn 19 and I had A Day of Peace the last turn.

Match 3: L-W-L
Hakim vs Chewy (Inzectors)

Why bother writing? Doesn't matter who wins because top 4 by then.

Match 4: L-L
Hakim vs Xhi (Six Samurai)

Round 1: Wa lao, I draw-search-draw-search NEVER GET THE DAMN COUNTDOWN. In the end, he summon out the Naturia Beast and I just switch to stalling tactics but still died.

Round 2: Apparently, he let my Card Car D pass a lot but then his turn he pull out Naturia Beast. Next turn, he pull out a few more monsters, like Grandmaster, Enishi, Kizan. My turn, I decided to be stupid and ask him, "Which are the most threatening monsters" to which he pointed to Beast and Enishi. Then, I tributed the Beast and Enishi for Lava Golem, then Final Countdown.

At one point in the game, as some girl with a dog came to our table and kept staying there. I had no idea who she was at first, but then I asked Xhi to hold on a while till she and the dog go away. But WTF, the table consisting of Xhi, me, Chewy and Edward just poker face down there. Then, she talked to Edward and then it seemed obvious she was his sister. Cheng Wee tried to move his leg away from the dog but then got barked him. You fookin' kidding me?

Seriously annoying. I mean, honestly speaking, what Edward's sister did is the same as me eating beef RIGHT IN FRONT of a Buddhist or a Hindu guy. Its SO offensive. Maybe its my fault for not saying I'm uncomfortable, but is Edward and his sister so air-headed that they don't know they should keep the dog away from muslims? C'mon lah, tolong and give us a break.

Anyway, back to the duel. At one point, we were running out of time. Then, Final Countdown left 5 turns but then the judge, Ze Xuan, give only 4 turns. Guess what, turn 19, I can stall, he default that Xhi wins. I try argue a bit lah, but then I can't be bothered. Better to control my anger for another day. But can we have a change of judge for once? Please?

So yes, in the midst of anger, a boy who I call Frog boy came to tell us something. Because I can, I shall illustrate it in the form of a rage comic.

And that's what happened, asides all the table flipping.

So Xhi decided to take first prize of Mist Wurm and we split 6 packs amongst ourselves. Edward got nothing, I got Annid and Chewy got Galaxy Photon Eyes. He swap the two Xyz monsters but I don't mind because what's mine is his.

That's all folks!

Full Yen Econ Tournament Report (25/02/12)

Today's tourney as seen by me. Learned quite a lot from today's experience.

Pre-tourney: Found out Sebastian was my first opponent. Divine Intervention isn't it? Considering I've entered the YT tourney 4 times and 3 times I've matched up against him. Rofl.

Judges: Jiyeon, Eustace

Match 1: Empty Jar (Hakim) vs E-Heroes (Sebastian)

Win-Lose-Win

Game 1: I think I set a Deep Diver first and ended. His turn I think he summoned Stratos or Alius or something and rammed my Deep Diver. He checks the effect because its new to him and I show him I top deck Morphing Jar, which at the point he realizes I'm playing an Empty Jar deck. Drew, set Morphing Jar, Taiyou- got countered by Effect Veiler but then chained Book of Eclipse and proceeded to victory.

Game 2: Bad hand. Couldn't do much. Sebastian beat me down and controlled with Shock Ruler.

Game 3: Fun stuff. He summoned Honest first and hit me. Then I set like 2 cards and ended. His turn, he summoned Stratos, search Alius, then he had Stratos, Alius and Honest on the field. I was around half my lifepoints at that point so when he attacked with Stratos, I used Super Poly on his Alius and Stratos to summon E-HERO The Shining, like a boss. He got mind blown. Then, he used Compulsory Evac to bounce it and whack with Honest. So much win. Drew and proceeded to victory.

After the match, I began feeling like I was burning up. Don't think it was the weather, maybe just nervousness. But even now I feel like its still in on me.

Match 2: Empty Jar (Me) vs Some E-Hero deck

Win-Win

Game 1: IIRC, he had one Stratos and 2 or 3 set cards. When I flipped up Morphing Jar, he used Super Poly to summon E-Hero Gaia. But I just used Feather of the Phoenix to top deck it and win the next turn.

The guy had no side deck.

Game 2: Pretty much won.

My body continues overheating. Was I cursed? Couldn't stand it. Needed water.

Match 3: Empty Jar (Me) vs Lightsworn (Yoong Kang)

Win-Win

Game 1: Kinda won easily because of the right hand.

Game 2: I was doing the stun and all but then I got countered by an Effect Veiler and I had no counter or Book of Eclipse/Moon. Surprisingly. I still continued the stun anyway and won.

Becoming very hot and shaky. Difficult to focus and play.

Match 4: Empty Jar (Me) vs Laval (Poh Seng)

Win-Lose-Win

Played very slowly because of my current condition.

Game 1: He used Sweltering Heat Trasmission Wave (which is pretty much double foolish burial) to mill like 5 cards instantly. He ended his turn with Card Car D. Mind Blown. I kept stalling for time until he had like only half his deck left. Then I proceeded to winning. Along the way, he asked me the effects of my cards and I was rather surprised he didn't know.

Game 2: Bad hand. I think my Morphing Jar was around the bottom of my deck and I couldn't get searchers. I realized that I should use Prohibition to stop D.D. Crow from removing my cards. Kept stalling for time but got owned by Ancient Flamvell Deity, Stardust and Black Rose Dragon.

Game 3: Wow. I really managed to pull through here. I don't really recall entirely but It took me a couple of turns and a few beatings but I managed to OTK him.

Match 5: Empty Jar (me) vs Inzector (Wesley)

Lose-Lose

Game 1: Deep Diver got bombed but in this game, I stalled LIKE A BOSS. I think I activated One Day of Peace like 5 or 6 times? Till Wesley had like one card left in his deck. You know, he kept bombing all this cards and even used Torrential Tribute and Heavy Storm on himself. That's kind of an accomplishment. However, he eventually set up a new field and owned me because I dropped Swift Scarecrow the turn before.

Game 2: Lost. Bad. I kept stalling for time but I realized I could win. So yeah, he has like 5 cards left in his deck, I set and taiyou a needleworm- Effect veiler- book of eclipse- fiendish chain- book of eclipse- effect veiler. Shit. Lost from there, but I could have won from the Book of Eclipse by themselves because Wesley would draw himself to death. I think I'll let this one slide because I wasn't in good health at this point.

Overall I'm OK with this because Wesley used to play Empty Jar back when Book of Moon was at 3, so guess he has good experience with it and how to counter. And he's a nice guy, so its cool.

Overall, a very good experience in the tournament. Apparently, everyone who has Effect Veiler mains it and everyone sides in D.D. Crow. I think I may have misplayed by not using Prohibition on D.D. Crow as well. I also may consider maining Prohibition because of Effect Veiler.

Another thing I learned is that in the US, Empty Jar decks run Tour Guide of the Underworld because it is a lot more effective than Deep Diver. I should seriously put it in if possible because of today's Inzectors. But really, this deck is like $50-75 and probably one of the most budget decks in Yugioh, asides the foils-only. So do I really wanna pay $500 just for this? Obviously not. Though it'll be cool if I ever won the next tourney.

Also, a lot of people keep activating Solemn Warning and Torrential Tribute in response to Morphing Jar but I keep telling them they can't because it is NOT a flip summon but just a flip or battle position change. I also had to convince Sebastian and Jiyeon that when I had 4 set cards and then Book of Taiyou, I can chain Book of Eclipse AFTER because once the effect resolves, I have an open slot to chain. Its quite troubling because I feel like no one trusts or they don't agree with what I know. I mean, I've played this deck for a while so I try to know everything about my deck. So I hope people in the future understand this.

End of Tournament Report.
