Game 2: He rush me with hero stunts and although i stall with gk spy, hero blast proves to be too strong
Game 3: Game went into time and i inflicted 3700 damage on my last 2nd battle phrase and make maelstroke which in his last battle phrase, proved too much to handle as i had necrovalley on the field to counter a monster reborn he took via pot of duality.
Match 2 vs Nicholas (Hieroglyph)
OXO
Game 1: We had exchange of plays and he had a tefnut left on the field and i had 2 hand which was commandant and descendant. I top deck into allure which i used and drew into veiler and sin stardust, i proceeded with beatdown after that.

Couple of turns later i got trap stunned by him and his hieroglyph stunts killed me as i sat there and did nothing.

When he called for monster effect, i drew tour guide the following turn and when he declared magic, i drew into dark hole. 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
Game 3: I managed to drain his resources with stele and spy again, his top deck rabbit got book of mooned by me and i beat him down soon after.

Match 5 Weemin (TGGK) vs Jonas Tai (Arrive hero)
OO
Game 1: Gk plus valley lock him down according to Weemin

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.

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.
Perhaps giving GK the 2900 attack now, imo its better than wonder wand which u earn only via recruiter but anw this card does not allow u to plus. 2. Nimble Angler water/fish/level 2/ attack 600/ defence 100 : If this card is sent from your hand or Deck to the Graveyard: Special Summon up to to 2 Level 3 or lower "Nimble" monsters from your Deck, except "Nimble Angler Sp summoning of nimble sunfish and manta or momonga is not gay but still gd in my opinion, might have further new nimble supports. 3. Ice sprit god- moulin grace Water/Sea Serpent/ level 8 attk 2800/defence 2200 Effect: Cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. Must be Special Summoned (from your hand) by having exactly 5 WATER monsters in your Graveyard, and cannot be Special Summoned by other ways. When this card is Special Summoned: You can randomly select 2 cards from your opponent hand and discard them. If this card leaves the field, you cannot conduct your next turn's Battle Phase. The effect is gd and with genex undine throwing stuffs in as well as mermail megalo abyss helping in speeding up ur grave, this card might come in handy. 4. Gravity Blaster - Equip only to a Machine-Type monster. Once per turn, during your Main Phase: You can have the equipped monster gain 400 ATK. If the equipped monster battles an opponent's monster, the effect(s) of your opponent's monster is negated. It does not state that the added attack is till end phrase so u can keep adding. Konami's best machine aid(self proclaimed) against snowman eater, dd warrior lady, ryko, eclipse wyvern. And i go lalalalala, fortress equipped with gearframe plus blaster is just seriously -.-. Cards like catastor also have their effects negated as well. 5. Forbidden shroud/ garment: Target 1 face-up monster on the field; until the End Phase, it loses 600 ATK, but it cannot be targeted by or destroyed by card effects. Hmm, as compared to lance u lose 200 less, does allow ur monster to be not affected by ryko and snowman as well as dark hole, inzektor hornet, volcanosaurus, wind blast, raigeki break, compulsory. which is a -.- might see more use than a lance i feel. Buying 3 copies of it tq. 6. Cashback - When your opponent pays Life Points to activate a Spell, Trap, Spell/Trap effect, or Effect Monster's effect: Negate the activation, and if you do, shuffle it into the Deck. This card is troller of the pack i feel, troll solumn judgement warning and a hero lives. Random trolling of venus and also FINAL COUNTDOWN woot lol. 7. Retaliation- When your opponent activates a card with the same name as a Spell/Trap Card in your Graveyard: Negate the activation and destroy it, and if you do, you can add 1 card from your Graveyard with the same name as the negated card to your hand. Mirror match boss card, negate your spark/blast take my spark/blast. Negate ur miracle and take my miracle. Negate ur hero lives/ ecall and take my own one. Negate lance take lance. I do see people siding this for mirror match now. Turn table card especially in heros mirror in my opinion. Negate seal and take seal or negate solumn and take ur own solumn (wtf ?). La troll with solar recharge, ur opponent minus 1 and u take ur own recharge -.-. Negate infernity launcher and take ur own launcher back is still the most ridiculous imo. Even a break will be gd. Negate Rekindling of ur opponent and take your own? Buying x3 of it. Type the possible negations also cannot finish, too much to type. Thats it for the review zzxiaoboizz signing off |

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.

Match 2 vs Ying Jun (Hieroglyph)
XOX
Game 1: Typical Hiero stunt
Game 2: Drew too many hand trap to stop him
Game 3: Tio Gustav Max death while drawing 3 gadgets again

Match 3 vs Cassandra (Hero Beat)
XOO
Game 1: Pot into blast then she warning my exceed and spark my fortress, next turn pro storm and controlled with solumn later on.
Game 2: Set one kinetic and she tot was snowman and went to spark it. Her gorz was taking away by my big eye while her 3500 shining direct attk allowed me to drop gorz and go for game with a forbidden lance, token, gorz and green gadget but ate scarecrow. With stratos and alius and an unknown card, she can't turn the tables around the next turn.
Game 3: Set tinplate and she went to dark hole it......managed to stall till shining came out and compulse it, then fortress beat from then on.
When they see a facedown set by a gadget player, it is likely it is a snowman hmm how true is that......................
So some lottery luck happened, me and shelton went to top 16 directly
Top 16 vs Yong Xiang (Verz Ragia)
OXO
Game 1: Opened cosmos on me and stall till 3 compulse come out then chope for game
Game 2: He controlled me with starlight road plus rabbit
Game 3: He tried to get over my fortress and ended up losing too much advantage so i won by spamming field when he ran out of cards after minus himself using maelstrom to target my fortress, let me drop his last card a rabbit and when he wack i forced him to detach his 2nd material.
Top 8 vs Sam Kee again
OXX
Game 1: Pro storm then counter his pro storm with solumn judgement
Game 2: He raioh set 2 i set 3 he pro storm and everything came out
Game 3: He pro storm i pro solumn judgement he pro mst and everything came out while i drew no gadgets nor gearframe
Bottom 8 vs Shaun Lim (Hero Infinity)
XOX
Game 1: Stuntman performance so i died
Game 2: Drew 2 gadget and 4 real backrow, controlled from there

7th/8th playoffs vs Jonas Tai ( Hero Arrival)
XX
Game 1: Tio swarm
Game 2: He bubbleman sp top deck reborn plus zephyros fml

Lauren then showed me his ultimate offering gadget build, personally fiendish chain < Offerings to the doom/ Phoenix Wing Blast / Raigeki Break
Might have to hibernate my gadgets till september, we shall see.

Worlds Singapore Qualifer tourney report
Tourney report for Worlds Singapore Qualifier 2012
Deck used: Machina Gadgets
Seeded so straight into top 16
Top 16 vs Ultimate Offering Gadget (Sry did not take note of your name)
XOO
Game 1: He went first and started with a gadget plus a backrow, i said dun so fast ultimate offering me in a kidding manner. On my turn my gearframe got veilered and i took his red gadget using mind control and made my own Giganto x and search for Gearframe and ended with a backrow. He opened Ultimate offering the next turn and when i veilered his gadget, he had another in his hand to continue and my backrow of offerings to the doom stopped only 1 exceed, the rest flooded out and he made a mistake of forgetting to take his green gadget and went to make utopia quickly. I was spared that turn with 700 hp but could not fight back the next turn and died on his next turn.
Game 2: I went first but did not get any backrow removal, in the early part of the game he opened ultimate offerings again but this time veiler plus compulsory was able to stop the search from going on (Lucky he dun hav 2 gadget in hand this time). Push for damage and he did not draw into a gadget and push again and he had only 1200, not enough to make a comeback.
Game 3: H went first and set 2, i storm and hit offering and mst. Started to gadget farm and i stopped his gearframe farm but his gearframe were consistently hitting my gadgets till he got greedy and went to puppet plant my gadget and made giganto x which i compulsed. From then on i started to draw into my backrows of warning and dimensional prison. Slowly controlled with another bottomless i took off pot from the start. He threw cyber and sp fortress which i bottomlessed. He call of the haunted back cyber and i warning it. He had a book of moon to my maelstroke the next turn (he had 1800 left) but no response to the following turn.
Top 8 vs Samuel (Inzektor)
OO
Game 1: He had a facedown set and a damsel searched by sangan after he flushed my fortress and giganto x. I drop cannon to call my fortress back and had a long ago set limiter removal. He had 4200, i wack with fortress he allowed and i limiter him. Backrow turns out to be a waboku, was lucky that he made a mistake as he had gruf in grave already.
Game 2: Had solumn compulse and transmigration set with a facedown fortress that got booked while attacking his facedown monster and a faceup gearframe. He flipped up facedown monster which is damsel next turn, allowed that to pass, he foolish burial and threw hornet. Activated damsel effect which i chain transmigration, he had no inzektor to equip and had to show me his hand of duality reborn and bls. He pot for torrential. Lure it with a flipped faceup fortress next turn, summoned my gearframe and drop cannon for 4200 damage. He top deck into nothing, reborn damsel in defence and ended, i compulse my own gearframe next turn and summoned it searching out a 3rd fortressa after i drew into the 2nd one and pushed for game.
Top 4 vs Wesley Seek (Inzektor)
XX
Game 1: Fortress hand and died quickly to centipede farming with a compulse set to protect it. Centipede farming leads to damsel mantis and leads to otk.
Game 2: Made a fail otk and ate scarecrow instead, went downhill from there and was just pratically stalling game until my backrow was finally overwhelmed by a wicked cyber dragon. I had the 2nd last gearframe on my field and he sp cyber dragon, i bottomless he chain compulse i offerings it and then died later on due to useful backrow all gone.
3rd/4th Placing vs Bryan Chua aka Ball Snow (Inzektor)
XOO
Game 1: Reduced him to 500 then die due to reading of a mst as a real backrow and some zenmaines defending.
Game 2: Had outs to him and reborn allowed me to make giganto x and end him with some 3 card advantage
Game 3: He had relatively few backrow in the late game and i just rushed for the game after using my long held veiler on his critical damsel. He had 3100 left and i had fortress plus reborn in hand but only 1 fortress in grave. I topped into a cannon which i drop for fortress and sp his centipede to deal exact damage to end the game.
Result: 3rd
Post tournament comments: Gadgets did well this time, did not draw badly till against Wesley but thats yugioh. The only negative thing about participation this time is that i lost too easily against Wesley Seek, felt that i did not put up a good fight myself. Nevertheless happy that i made it to 3rd.

10/6/2012 qualifiers report plus post mortem discussion
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.

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.

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.
