Road to YCS Toronto Day 2

Hello Yu-Gi-Oh players! This isn't really day 2 on my road to YCS. I have been practicing for this event for some time now. Of course I like most people practiced under the first confirmed ban list to come out. Thinking that the OCG ban list was going to be the same as the TCG ban list.  So while I was out and was texted words of a separate ban list....my heart sank....And originally my first impression was....gosh darnit....so much for topping; But then I started to think about it. What was my deck of choice? Inzektors. Aside from Monster Reborn and Heavy Storm getting banned, the deck is still pretty much the same. Nothings changed.

The deck still operates the same. It hasn't deviated. The deck needs to get creative in order to obtain the dragonfly/hornet, but overall the deck is the same. So I took it upon myself to create a build that can do the archetype some justice.

I finally got used to my bad match-ups and how exactly I should play against them with my build. It takes creativity though. I hate die rolls. I designed the deck so that way it's irrelevant going first or second. I always seem to lose die rolls so I gave up on that.

I am more or less comfortable with the Plant Ruler match-up now. That was decided to be a very tough match-up especially because of their rising numbers. Going up against the deck will force you into magnificently gusty plays. A lot of thinking is required. I have come to be victorious against them. The only thing that sucks with Inzektors is that the deck slows down even more after siding. So you have to be careful with that. Which is why if you win game 1; game 2 could look a little troublesome. Going first is key. It's the set-up prior to that will assist you. If not, keeping track of the dragons easily helps a bunch. If you can keep track of whats left in the deck to the odds of whats in their hand and whats in grave and whats banished, you easily can make devastating blows.  Just like with any deck; just use your head. That's the best advice I could ever give you.

So how my last night Plant Ruler match went down was

Match #1:Inzektors VS Plant Ruler
Verdict:2-1 Win
I lost Rock,Paper,Scissors. I won game 1. I lost game 2. I won game 3.

Now a bit more testing happened today and it went like this

Match #2: Inzektors VS Mecha Phantom Beast
Verdict:2-0 Win

Match #3:Inzektors VS Blackwings
Verdict:2-0 Win

Match #4: Inzektors VS Zombies
Verdict:2-0 Win

YCS Toronto is coming up! remember regardless of how I do, I will post up my deck profile afterwards. If I make it to day 2, I will post my deck list after day2 wraps up. If I don't make day 2, I will post my deck up after day 1.

YCS TORONTO! plus a little talk

Well it's been a long while people! I know I say I'm always back and ready to write some more but lazyness is just too real. SO GUESS WHAT THOUGH?! Yours truly will be playing at YCS TORONTO this weekend! What will I be playing? I think it should be clearly obvious! Inzektors! I don't want to give too much away but I have been testing them and they do look promising. The only issue that the deck has is that it can't play too much attack prevention or it slows down and thats all you end up drawing at moments you wish it could be something else. It has to rush the Hornet + Dragonfly race or things get hard. By far the hardest match-ups tend to be gladiator beast simply for how their designed. Another difficult match-up is the new/old Plant Rulers because of their ability to explode consistently. It may not be able to do what original E dragons do but it's pretty good. Another bad match-up is Prophecy. That deck is still real. A fate is all they need. Don't know how the dark world match-ups will go just yet.

So I ended up designing my side board to accommodate my bad match-ups. Also for deck's that will main or side problematic cards against me. Some of those cards include Shadow-Imprisoning Mirror,Skill Drain,etc. Knowing all those cards to be ground breaking against me, I still have a lot of optimism for the deck. Also I guess it's time to put my money where my mouth is. I've been talking about Inzektors for some time now. If I were at that event,If I was there,If they had just listened to me with my tech etc... Now I can go in with my skill and knowledge and the deck that started it all for me. Wish me luck as I continue to test. Also after the event I shall do a deck profile with a recap and after thoughts.

Look forward to it!

Also here are some matches I played earlier:

Match 1:Inzektors VS Infernities
Verdict:2-0 Win

Match 2:Inzektors VS Gogogo
Verdict:2-0 Win

Match 3:Inzektors VS Prophecy
Verdict:2-1 Win

Match 4:Inzektors VS Noble Knights
Verdict:2-0 Win

Match 5:Inzektors VS Utopia Turbo
Verdict:2-0

Match 6:Inzektors VS Random
Verdict:2-0

Match 7:Inzektors VS Ojamas
Verdict:2-0

Match 8: Inzektors VS Dark Gaia OTK
Verdict:2-1(Only saw one inzektor that whole game.Won't say which one or it might give away stuff ;) )

NOW!! These 2 matches were testing between me and my friend.

Match 9:Inzektors VS Plant Rulers
Verdict:0-2 Loss

Match 10:Inzektors VS Blackwings
Verdict:2-0 Win

So I do need to focus on the plant ruler match-up a little more. But overall the deck is looking pretty solid. Just need a little bit more practice time.
