Ok quite some time after i can sit down and do another blog post. Went to amk on 10/6/2012 and played in qualifiers despite already qualified so as to test my deck again for 1 last time.
Deck used: Machiners Gadget (u dun see me play hanzo hieratic do u?)
Match 1 vs Joel (Chaos dragons)
OO
Game 1: Giganto x farm too much, had backrow to clear threats
Game 2: Flush prevented him from otk, stalled till a sided photon thrasher appeared before compulsing his facedown monster and heavy storm his 1 backrow to use thrasher to kill him as he had less than 1k lp left.
Match 2 vs Bryan Chua aka Ballsnow (Inzektor)
OXO
Game 1: Opened relatively bad but he open worse and when i mst 1 of his 2 backrow which turns out to be mind control, went for the limiter rush kill and it worked.
Game 2: He lure out my veiler with double damsel, he set one the last turn and i din wack as i tot was snowman zz. He proceeded with mantis stuns while i proceeded to keeping my cards
Game 3: Had a veiler and he had a facedown all along which he did not open, correctly read it as a call and was not tempted to use a veiler i potted on his centipede that has mantis equipped, he call for damsel and i use on it instead, he made revise to attempt to clear my fortress but i compulse it and that was game.
Somehow the disappearance of Kenneth Tan is setting in now
Match 3 vs Jeff erm no tio repair......Putra er no also tio repair........Calvin (inzektor) i got paired down
XX
Game 1: Reduced him to less than 1k lp and then went downslope as he drew his pieces and my gadget got solumned.
Game 2: Forgot how it went, died relatively quickly, guess my mood suddenly went downhill alongside my cards
Match 4 vs Hong Rui (Hanzo Hieroglyph) Sry if i was very unfriendly and ill tempered, this uncle just sat beside the table and started singing, i got really pissed off trying to hold my composure.
XX
Game 1: Typical Hieroglyph otk with hanzo opening again
Game 2: Typical Hieroglyph otk with hanzo opening again
Match 5 vs Jonas Bai (Inzektor)
OXO
Game 1: He drew badly
Game 2: He mst and do stunts
Game 3: Some insane top deck compulse to save myself and win the game
Score: 3-2 (17th position out of 35 wtf)
So in the end Lauren won it with Hanzo Hierathic
Qualfiers seeded 6 players deck used
2 Machina Gadgets
2 Hanzo Hierathic
1 Rabbit Ragia
1 Inzektor
So from the pre-analysis will we see on the main event day the top 10 decks to be
3.33 Machina Gadgets
3.33 Hanzo Hierathic
1.17 Rabbit Ragia
1.17 Inzektors
However what i foresee is this
1 Machina Gadget
3 Hanzo Hierathic
3 Inzektor
2 Random decks including Chaos Dragons
1 Rabbit Ragia
Reason being Hanzo Hierathic can open the best among these few decks, ignore the machina gadgets opening of dark hole heavy storm limiter gearframe fortress fortress bullshit
Surprisingly the forbidden lance main decked is working against flush break windblast bottomless very well, something u see inzektors playing mostly.
Most of the time, its either opponent does not draw into veiler to stop ur stuns or they get their streak bouncer mind controlled by a non- hanzo hieroglyph player to exceed for gaia dragoon.
Sidingwise, maxx-c, mask of restrict and light imprisoning mirror are the 3 cards most ppl would consider playing alongside scarecrow and tragoedia.
While maxx-c can be stop by just making a streak bouncer and let opp plus 1, mask of restrict can be bypassed via removing dragon on field for redmd, light imprisoning mirror works like a faulty machine against redmd effect.
Not to forget the Black Luster soldier that is a hassle too.
Surprisingly, inzektors have underperformed despite being touted the 'best meta of the format' i guess its becuz hieroglyph is surprisingly fast. But i tipped inzektors killing each other and in the end some ppl piloting inzektor will top based on 40% skill and 60% luck.
