Hey people! What's up?! I'm here to give you guys a small fun tournament report! Sometimes me and my friends will put up cards and play for them in swiss style tournaments. Now the tournament only really consists of me and 3 of my friends. So essentially it becomes a 3 round tournament.... WHICH I KNOW ITS REALLY BAD but hey...I went to a local an hour away from me with my cousin before and the tournament was only 3 rounds as well...so....IT HAPPENS! So anyways for this tournament my one friend who joined decided to just scoop all his rounds cause last minute he got too lazy to play. So amongst us the decks that were played were: Gladiator Beast(me), Gadgets with Tin Goldfish, and Malefic Stun with the virus cards. I decided to play Gladiator Beast because it is a deck that I am most familiar with! I've been playing Glads since 2009. Every time I tell my friend I was playing them on a certain day, he would just shrug it off and tell me they're irrelevant. So I wanted to make them relevant.
So Round 1 Begins
Round 1 VS The friend that scoops
He scooped that round so I auto won. I wanted to play it out but he just got lazy. Oh well
1-0
Round 2 VS Gadgets with Tin Goldfish
Game 1:I was jsut overwhelmed pretty quickly and could not get over a cowboy in the end. I ended up losing to a cowboy...so mad...
Game 2: I feel the pressure is on so I begin to throw cards at him. A lot of my super secret tech cards... I end up over powering him with spirit reaper and a gladiator beast that just wont go away...
Game 3:He opens up all monsters. Eventually it looks like he's getting a feel for the game and it looks like he might actually do stuff; But in fact, I kinda allow him to walk into things. I couldn't get over a cyber dragon for the longest time. He ruined my field of equeste + another monster. I later come back with a reborn play and a book of moon and eventually I take the game.
2-0
Round 3 VS Malefic Virus
Game 1:This is actually the worst match-up for him. Not because Gladiator Beasts are OP but because he himself cannot beat Gladiator Beasts to save his life. Game 1 I just control it with massive backrow and a constant loop of Gladiator Beast tagging.
Game 2:He flips over skill drain and what not. It actually is the longest grind game of history. We take about 20-30 minutes on game 2. Eventually he over powers me.
Game 3: I hold it down with fossily dyna. Yes, Fossil DYNA. I heard it's a good card...but its just probably a rumor. So I boarded in 2 and he just got poked by it like 6 times. In the end he cant get over it and I win.
3-0
So In conclusion Gladiator Beasts won this tournament.Granted it was a 4 man tourney and it was only 3 rounds and 1 man scooped all his rounds but hey it's okay... SO WHAT DO I WIN IN THE END?!
Well from our gadget player, he has to give me 3 of his super penguin soldiers....(lol i know but hey I wanna make something very troll like with that...ahaha)
AND FROM OUR MALEFIC STUN PLAYER.... I get his 2 Obelisk(the playable version). Our running joke thats actually a fact is whenever we make a deck we have to ask ourselves, Do we have an out to Obelisk? ahaha that guys too OP. So sad frogs is the only deck that actually makes real use of Obelisk.
Anyways this was just a fun tournament. If I had lost I would've lost 3 Grapha's. That's a no no. My girlfriend got me those. So I'm glad I won. Maybe for our next tournament I'll try Glads again. I like the deck. It's still good. I think..ahaha Like they haven't changed in the past how many years. Our only real hit on the list was Bestiari to 1. Also if you include rescue cat....then that was another hit. Other than that Gladiator Beasts have remained with the same power. It just takes a really skilled player or maybe even a super creative build in order to win.When Elemental Dragons comes out though or even judgment for Prophecy... I don't know how they shall fair. But for now they're fun and I had fun with this tournament. It's good to do stuff like this. If you're new to the tournament scene, definitely try some practice tournaments with friends to get more comfortable. It's nice practice and a nice time with friends. Alright that's it.
Gladiator Beast all day long!
I'm out!
