Tourney Report 25/02/12

Deck used: Wind-up (Not so dirty anymore)

Match 1: Vs. Sam, Inzektor - ???
I let him go up as usual...

Match 2: Vs. Gerald, Inzektor - OXO
I lost the die roll (I rolled 2 he rolled 4)
Game 1: He set 1 card with Card Trooper milling 3 cards. I then summon tour guide, searched tour bus and special summon werewolf, xyz into zenmaighty and detach one material to search for hunter. Hunter discards a card with its effect, and repeat the process for 3 times and then finally Trishula with birdman. He scooped 2 turns later.
Game 2: Died to Dragonfly - Hornet.
Game 3: Dropped his whole hand

Match 3: Vs. Jeff, Ancestor Hero - XOO
I lost the die roll. And the reason why his deck is called Ancestor Hero is because he was one of the first few to play heroes here and won 5 Lavalval Chains in the last banlist. (I rolled 2 he rolled 4... Hmm coincidence?)
Game 1: Died terribly.
Game 2: Dropped his whole hand
Game 3: Decree and Dragonfly-Hornet

Match 4: Vs. Sazabi, Inzektor - XOX
I lost the die roll. (I rolled 2 he rolled 4... FUCK THIS SHIT DICE!)
Game 1: Died by OTK
Game 2: Whole hand in grave.
Game 3: Did a mistake by leaving 2 magician on the field, should have xyz into Emeral and gamble to continue the loop.

Conclusion: Died. And I lent the dice to Anthony for his bottom 8 match, he rolled 2 and  his opponent rolled 4. TCG Wind-ups are more dirtier, so my deck is not so dirty anymore - No shark, no rabbits... Waiting for sharks and funding for wind-up rabbits.... Wanted to buy it on Sunday, then think and think and think, 3 days later... "How come the wind-up rabbits price remained the same, but quantity different already...." GG...

This is a good way to entertain yourself.

Why can't konami be like that?

Look at this

MTG's R&D head explains everything about their banlist. Even give statistics like "reason y it's ban because XXX cards top ??% at day 1 and ??% in day 2" etc

I dun think spore and bulb have that percentage...

Now, here's some pics of a japanese website which records all the OCG and TCG tourney.

And of course the top 10 cards being used as of 2011 September banlist



For monsters section, T.G Agents cards are all in the top 10 list, Sangan being the 1st, and of course no spore & bulb because they are at 35th and 23rd respectively.

Traps of course,



Trap dustshoot being the first and all these of course requires no reason why their ban, just the amount being used proves their worth.

Next extra deck with Trishula being used 1577 times in the whole YCS and Japan



Lastly, the decks being used as of September 2011



1st: Agent
2nd: Inzektors
3rd: Laggia
4th: Gadget
5th: Dark World
6th: BF
7th: Karakuri
8th: Junk Doppel
9th: HERO
10th: Dragunity

Weird enough, destroying a deck not even in the top 5 which no one ever notices it's even in the top 10.

Rather than letting the players have their imaginations run wild and came up with all the funny reasons...

And even copied magic's old level format into the zexal,5ds etc rank format which gives bye. If Konami can copy this, Why can't they be like that?

So why was I saying I'm not myself today lol. It's because I replaced xiao mei to play the tournament after her first match and she just stood there and got a prize without doing anything LOL... I won 1/4 chain but its not mine T.T

Seems like the banlist is real and I shall not post about it. It looks so TCG to me in my opinion...
