9/8/2012 Secret M7 Ahsoo tourney

Since i figured using my wishful thinking that ultimate offering is gonna end, might as well make the full use of it.

Deck used: Kara Gadgets

Match 1 vs Jie Lun (Inzektors)
OO
Game 1: Hand too good, had too much advantage and was able to reap ultimate offerings off pot of avarice and win the game
Game 2: He had advantage but he did not have traps and i just dark hole his centi, gorz and gorz token and go all out despite him having a backrow as i know that he has damsel in hand and hornet in grave while i had dark hole and a gadget in hand. I top deck a gadget, use dark hole then summoned a gadget and pull back fortress from grave to end him as he had 3700 only left. his backrow turns out to be a monster reborn....won with luck.

Match 2 vs Cassandra (Hierathics)
XOO
Game 1: Did not know what she was playing and i left a monster and a backrow which got night shot and then bouncer control my 4 hand gadget.
Game 2: Had the control cards and hand traps like veiler so was in control for the whole game.
Game 3: Same as game 2, we both started quite badly but i slowly drew into my gadgets and started farming again, making shock ruler for control.

Match 3 vs Daniel Ang (Verz Ragia)
OXX
Game 1: Massive backrow plus 1 gadget in hand, things just got great when the backrow is offering warning bottomless judgement ^^
Game 2: Some bad gadget hand in play
Game 3: We both had nearly no monsters but he had superior backrow and i make fatal mistakes of siding creature swap into the deck which fizzles upon thunderbird.

Match 4 vs Jonas Tai (Inzektors)
He shared with me and let me go up play................

Top 12 vs Daniel Ang again (Verz Ragia)
XOO
Game 1: Controlled with fortress equipped with gearframe and maelstroke on field and had 2400 lp while he had 100 lp and 2 backrow. He top rabbit make chaos hope and killed me despite i had 3 hand which is all 3 gadgets.
Game 2: He struggled to keep up with the resources i earned, probably a spell trap hand and he drew monsters late so my advantage was too big and i was able to waste his last torrential and still discard 2 gadgets to call out a fortress to win
Game 3: We both started with 4 backrow, i had a gadget on the field when he summoned his heliotrope and i warning it, he chain judgement and then when he attacked, i dimension prisoned it. Things went down hill for him as he had no lp to pay for warning and basically struggled to draw monsters yet again.

Top 6 vs Javier (Tour Guide Verz Ragia)
OXO
Game 1: He had heliotrope on field while i was having no gadgets in hand despite having a double summon. i reaped a yellow gadget off my pot of avarice and started the farming and killed him from there.
Game 2:He rabbit effect and i warning it, next turn he open cosmos then jump tour guide and attempt to make leviar i warning it and he chain judgement, ending me on that turn as my other backrow was a useless prison against his 4 monster swarm.
Game 3: I opened offering just before he made laggia and then make maelstroke which he negated with laggia effect, make emerald which got warninged. Then make Gigantox and ouroboros which got flushed (his last facedown backrow) while that was my 8th gadget used, i chained lance onto my ouroboros and banished his only hand card which was thunderbird then attacked him reducing him to 4050, then on the next turn he set a back row and on my turn i bounce it back to his hand and i summoned red gadget and went for the game.

Top 3 did not play out as we just sold off the top 3 prices back to the shop. So i won 1/3 of the m7 i think? Doesn't matter its with Mr Loke now

Conclusion:
Gadget vs Rabbit = Backrow of Gadgets vs Backrows of Rabbit
Consistency vs hmm a little lacklustre consistency but rabbit makes up for it
Gadget vs Inzektor = You got the veiler and traps, u control but if ur opponent pro storm or pro reborn = gg.
The gadget 'miracle' is ultimate offering which if goes to 1, will see ppl playing 7 gadgets mayb, if its banned mayb back to machiner gadgets haha.

Game 3: I had 5400 left and he had 2 hand while i have 4 hand and giganto x in attack mode on field. He ecall for stratos and took bubbleman and sp it by setting a facedown (miracle fusion) then he thought for a long while before making bladeheart and detaching it and making shining with an alius in his grave. Both swing and left me with 100 which i jump gorz and next turn made chaos hope to end him. If he went Excalibur plus great tornado route i would have gged as 2800-1150= 1650 and plus hc 4000 = 5650 = gorz unable to block = otk. I was let off here, rare misplay frm him.

Match 3 vs Daniel Ang (Verz Ragia)
XOX
Game 1: His uniqute shuffling techniques means i draw 4 gadgets 2 veilers and he opened cosmos gg
Game 2: Made a plus one with solumn when he use thunderbird plus lance to attempt to get rid of my giganto x and him failing to do so allowed me to fetch another use of giganto x another +1 and he cannot get over the defecit.
Game 3: He had 3 backrow 1 which is compulsed and i hav ard 2k plus left with ultimate offering on field and he knew my hand as he sided mind crush. i was fearful of flush so i made giganto x then shock ruler which was compulsed then maelstrom and had 725 left while leaving a veiler in hand. X got prisoned and on his turn he made ophion with castor and heliotrope and beat me so i lost...

Match 4 vs Alvin Putra (Hero Beat)
OO
Game 1: After he judgement on my ultimate offering, he lost much lp advantage and could not keep up the numbers game
Game 2: He drew bad and i lured out his backrow of flush with dropping fortress and then opened my previous turn set offering to end him.

Match 5 Clarence (mermail)
OXO
Game 1: Offering went thru and won
Game 2: His megalo abyss plus armory arm dealt me 6k plus dmg to end me
Game 3: He drew bad and was struggling


Top 8 vs Jacob (Tour Guide Chaos Dragons)
OO
Game 1: Was on a down side as my ouroboros gt cleared by an acid golem from tourguide but managed to carry out the plan of making his lp to below 4000 (3700) and allowing him to wack me to 500-1000 before opening offering and make chaos hope and change the tables.
Game 2: He milled gorz out and summoned raioh and i reborn his gorz and took out raioh and had farming sections and eventually won as i had too much resource to bring out fortress again and again to clear his monsters

Top 4 vs Ryan Stark (Chaos Dragons)
XX
Game 1: Its quite unbelievable but he storm then future fusion and ended the game with boss monsters
Game 2: Its quite unbelievable but yet again he storm then future fusion and ended the game with boss monsters.

Shared 25 packs with another player (Samuel) and we got lousy stuff out of it so i rather not talk about the ending

Conclusion: Need to side more against Chaos dragons, trap card based solutions (suggest if any thanks). Drawing 5 gadgets is not funny, neither is 4. 2 is understandable while 3 is the norm today. Gadgets love me too much ah hahaha.

After taking couple of hits, he potted into rabbit and on my turn i dark hole his shock ruler and played a face down defence recruiter which had no valley on field. He dark hole and i just kept my cards but he showed me that he had 2 heliotrope in his deck, i find that it was a very respective gesture and i actually appreciated it a lot, good attitude in yugioh while being competitive, i gained a lot of respect for him and i actually said its ok that u do not need to show as frankly i was thinking that he would not have taken the rabbit if he had no target in his deck haha.
Game 2: Zenmaines and Maelstroke control

Time to update with some ABYR cards opinion

Seeing how often others update, its time to update as well (wtf i know)

Not going to talk about banlist cause im inexperienced at it.

Moving on in ABYR some cards caught my attention

1. One shot wand: 
Equip only to a Spellcaster-Type monster. It gains 800 ATK. After damage calculation, if the equipped monster battled: You can destroy this card, and if you do, draw 1 card.

Locals observation

Recently at the locals, i realised that hero beat was one of my toughest hurdles to get past. Reason being i hardly touch it and mostly i can't read plays made by opponent.

Take for an example of a duel in the locals where she went first and pot for blast, e call for airman but summoned alius with 2 backrow and ended
I thought of it as spark and blast, typical lame combo.
So my hand was tinplate goldfish red gadget fortress warning compulsoryx2
I summoned tinplate and it passed, aft i sp my red she opened warning and i told her u had to warn tinplate eff, from then on i tot it was warning and blast, so i made giganto to bait the warning and attacked with fortress but ate spark instead. I set 2 and ended and lost all to spark and eventually lost that game.

Game 2 and 3 i picked up a bit of scamming skills and lured out the typcal spark and dark hole that hero beat has. Looking at how mind boggling hero beat is, some thoughts of playing it disappeared.

When a gadget/laggia player sets a facedown defence monster, high chance its a snowman kinetic dd warrior lady etc that might be what jero beat players think and therefore nt clearing it using spark and dark hole is nt in the best of interest.

Makes me just wonder how setting a fake like tinplate goldfish can reduce opponent's ability to clear the real ones later on.

Mayb one will attack the facedown head on if he/she has a hero blast in hand or they can tell its a fake. Otherwise i still find it mind boggling, playing against hero beat is like pitting ur iq against theirs, similar to playing chess, mayb u might hav an additional horse if u side correctly haha.
