Philippine Asian Championship Quaifier Updates

This Saturday we held our Asian Championship Qualifier and it turned out to be one of the craziest events ever in YGO history of our country because of so many crazy ideas like the Statue Deck piloted by Team PUP's own Cliff which caught the attention of everyone in the tournament, sadly he lost on the eliminations on round 6.
After so many rounds of playing the top 8 has been decided so here is the list of the top 8 participants for our qualifiers in no particular order:

Karlo Luigi Bonillo (me)
Jomer Flores
Alvin Lim
Edsel Gozon
Kent Diño
Jeff Legarda
Timothy Vivit
William Sy (Wslasher)

So tomorrow everyone will do their best to have 3 wins straight to represent our country for the upcoming Asian Championships hope I win the event or one of team top deck wins so we can all go to sunny Singapore :)) Until here I'm so tired from the event lol.

Tournament Reports and ACQ qualifiers

I joined the first pod of our weekly tournament yesterday and here is my tournament report:
Deck used: Inzecter
Participants:16
Single Elimination

Round 1 versus Yuki Vinluan (dark world)
Game 1: Damsel + Call of the haunted combo
Game 2: He played Dragged Down To the Grave he discarded my in hand Armageddon Knight then followed it up with another and he took control from there.
Game 3: Inzekter party with Royal Decree.


Round 2 versus Jag Tan (Inzecter)
Game 1:Effect Veiler on his Inzecter Damsel and then swarmed the field with my own Inzecter Damsel and Inzecter Gigaweevil.
Game 2: He swarmed the field immediately and died instantly without drawing any Inzecter Hornet to fight back.
Game 3:Pressured him with Inzecter Damsel and then followed it up by Call of the Haunted when he used Solemn Warning against it, Then I swarmed the field afterwards.

Round 3 versus Jomer Flores = Team mate from Asian Plus (Windup-Shien-Inzecter)
Game 1: I started with setting Raigeki Break and Fiendish Chain.On his turn he summoned Zenmaighty via Instant Fusion + Wind-up Hunter I used Fiendish Chain in response to his effect then afterwards I took control of the game with Inzecter stunts.
Game 2:He started by setting a monster and a card to his s/t zone. I set all my card faced-down and on his turn he blew everything away >_> bad move.
Game 3:Fiendish Chained his Zenmaighty,Effect Veiler on his Inzecter Dragonfly and used Solemn Warning on his next Inzecter Dragonfly.


Finals versus Alvin Lim (TG agents)
We decided to play the dice game to decide who will win since pod 2 will start in a few minutes, luck was on my side and I won the dice game lol.

I won 2 crap packs and a tournament pack lol.
Updates on the next 2 pods
Pod 2: Jomer and Alvin Lim faced in the finals and they also decided to play the dice game. :)) Jomer Won the 2nd pod.
Pod 3: Byron won the tournament with TG agents he faced of Chito with his Gravekeepers.


ACQ updates:
So we now know that being a seeded player have it's advantages being Division A top 2 leaders they are automatically qualified for the top 8, that is some advantage coz they will no longer enter the modified swiss format which is difficult by having to play 4 rounds of swiss then single elmination from there.As the tournament goes deeper and deeper some players from other Division will enter the tournament on a certain round which is also a great advantage, not having to play many games is less stressful to the human mind and also you are not using much luck lol (yes I believe in luck).We hope that one of our members could win this tournament coz if one of us will win all of us are going to Singapore. :) Later I will post a tournament report where I joined a tournament for those fake players and the prizes are original cards.

Updates and Philippine Asian Championship Qualifiers

Sorry for the late updates because I am busy playing LOL (League of Legends) :))

Anyway nothing much happened this past few weeks except Inzecters owning the meta for the month and Agents are being represented by fewer people but still making it on top.Wslasher keeps on winning tournaments every Sundays so Team Top Deck decided to join and break his win streak.He is now playing Inzecter because he believes that Samurai is no longer competitive for this format.IMO they are still good in this format with proper side deck and with the deck's ability to swarm they could end games quickly before Inzecters could plague the field with their ugly creatures.



Our distributors announced that our Asian Championship Qualifiers is going to be held at Robinson's Galleria on February 25 so to all Philippine players who are reading this is your chance to participate and have a chance to represent the country in Singapore.I am expecting a lot of Inzecters and Agents to be represented at this event with a few players using Dino Rabbit since Jurrac Guaiba is kinda expensive due to low supply.This event is going to be fun and competitive with so many good players joining. Hope one of us in team Top Deck wins because if any of our members wins we will all go with him. So good luck to everyone who will join the event.

How good is Tour Bus??

Hi YGO Fanatics! I am here today to discuss how good Tour Bus From the Underworld. Here is her effect:

When this card is sent to the Graveyard: Target 1 monster in either player’s Graveyard, except “Tour Bus From the Underworld”; shuffle that target into the Deck.

What makes this card good is she could return 1 monster from either player's graveyard to it's owner's deck when she is just SENT to the graveyard, Meaning  if you used this card as an exceed material and is detached this card would still trigger her effect just like Dandylion. Recycling a monster is good especially if you are creating a combo deck or a deck that requires multiple use of monsters. So what deck is it?? I am pointing at a deck that is so powerful that it can discard all of the opponent's hand cards in one                                                   turn.

Example:

I summoned Tour Guide from the Underworld and special summoned this card from my deck. Then I exceed summoned for Zenmaighty bye detaching Tour Guide I can special Wind-up Hunter from my deck then activate Hunter's effect to send 1 card from my opponent's hand to the graveyard by tributing Zenmaighty, then Tour Bus activates her effect and you can recycle Zenmaighty pretty neat huh?By doing that you have discarded a card from opponent's hand with having 3 more Zenmaighty in you deck. Assuming you have Monster Reborn.You can revive Tour Bus and Exceed for Zenmighty yet again and you can do the loop till your opponent's hand is reduced to 0.

That's it hope you enjoyed what I wrote today. See ya!

Tournament Report 01/07/2012

Well I joined the 3rd pod for our weekly tournament which started around 6pm. Before the tournament I am deciding whether to use Inzector-Wind-Up or Dimensional Laggia. In the end I choose Laggia coz it has a good match-up against Inzectors.

Participants: 16
Deck Used:

Round 1 versus Jomer Flores (Inzector-Wind-Up)OO

Game 1: I started with first turn Raggia via rabbit and set 3 cards face-down(warning, macro cosmos and forbidden lance). After a few turns of poking I managed to draw a 2nd rabbit then went for the game.

Game 2: Same as game 1

Round 2 versus Kent Dino (TG Agent Angels)OXO

Game 1: Opened with Rabbit +4 backrows (macro cosmos, warning, bottomless, mystical space typhoon)

Game 2: He started with Summoning earth and then passed. I summoned Kabazauls and he responded with          bottomless trap hole. Then I set 2 cards after this turn he played heavy storm then I got Trishula'd GG.

Game 3: Opened with another Rabbit lol and this time 5 backrows. He did not do anything except setting monsters till he drew Venus which got hit by warning and when he attempted to summon Hyperion I also have another warning GG.

Round 3 versus Edsel Gozon (Inzektor-Wind-Up) -Top 4 XOX

Game 1: I won the dice roll but had a very ugly hand >_> I set a monster then set all my cards in hand. He played Duality and searched for duality, then he summoned centipede in whch I used fiendish chain in response to it's effect after he played MST I conceded nothing there s nothing I can do after that.

Game 2: I can't remember anything from this game but all I know is I managed to summon a Utopia and 2 Evolkaizer Laggia.

Game 3: The epic duel of the day I have a Kabazauls on the field with 2 set cards he played MST I think then he proceeded in the wind-up loop dropping my 2 other kabazauls in hand lol then he created a Revise Dragon with Zenmighty on the field, The dragon attacked then I saved my dino with shrink. During my turn a wild Jurrac Guaiba appears and he used Effect Veiler before battle phase  to negate it's effect then it destroyed Zenmighty then I summoned  Laggia using my 2 dinos. Next turn he summoned Damsel I negated it with Laggia then he activated Duality to get bottomless traphole. I drew Duality then added Warning during this part of the game I know that I was in a very good position to win the game coz I now what is his set card (which is bottomless) and the only 2 cards in his hand is a Damsel and a Hornet but during his turn he topped Heavy Storm and he won the game after that.

Not bad to start the year I received a pack for placing 3rd then gave it to my friend Merix lol he opened it and he pulled an Evolkaizer Soldde.
