SG ranking tourney report

So i decided to play for fun since sazabi was judging and he asked me to play for his slot to collect points while he stood a chance to win the imba asia top 100 sleeves.

initially i wanted to play WU or smtg like that but then a few of us went clubbing till 4 in the morning so with less sleep, obviously i didnt want to play a thinking deck. so decided to go with inzektor, but after playing some solitaire with wesley, it was fucking hard to win unless i had damsel hornet so i just took sherwyns arrive hero to play.

usually i wont post ranking tourney reports but this is the 1st time i played overseas. somemore as yu bixuan ^^

Round 1: Jeff
Mermail atlantean

G1: He summoned diva into librarian telegraphing a 2nd 1 in hand. i destroyed it with alias spark, and next turn he summoned another diva, which i quickly misplayed and threw out solemn warning, when the better play was to activate hero blast on divas target. He showed me abyssphere and megalo soon after. Its been so long since i touched yugiohhh

G2: I made a 1st turn shock ruler and followed up with a miracle fusion after to put pressure.

G3: He summoned Catastor, and i summoned Maelstroke. i could make shock ruler, but for some reason instincts told me not to, and he responded with veiler, upon effect. I Miracle the maelstroke away into Escuridao, to kill catastor. Reason why i miracled this turn was to kill off 1 beatstick in case he megalo and rush me so i'd survive. Managed to follow up with more beatdown and won.

XOO

felt lucksack cos he MST all my bluff and i MST Night beam both his torrential.

Round 2: Jun Jie
agent angel

G1: I whack him with shining, then next turn play dark hole to wipe the field, spam miracle, and took back the alias to go for game.

G2: I first turn shock ruler call monster, but he play valhalla into kristia. But because of my big backrow he didnt dare to attack. Stalled for 2 turns and i summoned alias, spark his kristia, flip stun, play miracle, and clear the field with heavy storm to win the game.

OO

Round 3: William Oh
Verz

G1: He storm me and ophion me

G2: I clear his backrow and made Pearl to beat and win.

G3: This was a very back and forth game. He summoned ceryon and i decided not to respond but when i compulsed his bahamut he had the solemn. he stole my parl, which i destroyed using spark. and the game went into topdecking and i managed to do the LGQ stunt to drop bubbleman but drew crap like SLR and MST. Stalled for a few more turn but he topdeck rabbit and win.

XOX

Finished in Top 4 since lesser ppl played ranking.

Yes i didnt draw Miracle cos i sided 2 out. all my playtesting vs verz in dn ended up with me having dead miracles and the idea was to make a deck which could dish out decent rank 4s to kill ophion, with backrow clearing stuff hence i only sided out 1 mst. owell should have kept in 1 more miracle but whatever.

It was fun to play in Singapore as the crowd is much more casual than Malaysia and my opponent even let me replay since im rusty but whatever.

PS alive hero sucks cos i keep drawing zephrus + foolish in same hand.

kudos to HLG for chaperoning me as usual and to wesley and sam for bringing me clubbing on saturday night.
