Stand and Draw: Card game rants and experiences

I've been getting lots of requests for WIXOSS, and now, here's more! Previously, we had a box opening for WIXOSS Blue Appli trial deck, today, we have White Hope, Red Ambition and Black Desire! As for Green Wanna...sorry, I couldn't get my hand on that one...But, at the very least, here are some images for you to enjoy! For those looking forward to getting the WIXOSS trial decks, my store is currently taking pre-orders for them! However, there are limited slots so you'll need to be quick before it all runs out! Pre-order closes on 19th June 2014.

Phew, it has been a while since I last did a deck profile and now, I am back with more! This time around, it's another Dark Irregulars deck and no, it's not Amon related or Master of Fifth Element either. Say hello to my new favourite card in Dark Irregulars, Echo of Nemesis! This card is a huge monster. He not only hits hard with large numbers but he also troll hard. If you have checked out the wikia page for him, you'll see why. His ability to gain 10k worth of power when attacking as well as not letting your opponent to guard with his/her pesky quintet wall or perfect guards makes him scary. His ability definitely makes Glory Maelstrom jealous since it's easy to achieve and is actually free.

But first, I have made a video of the deck profile. Yes, this is my very first deck profile in recording (be nice to me). Enjoy!


Grade 0: 17 cards
1 x Devil in Shadow (First vanguard)
4 x Amon's Follower, Hell's Trick (Heal trigger)
4 x Dark Knight of Nightmareland (Critical Trigger)
2 x Blitzritter (Critical Trigger)
3 x Hysteric Shirley (Draw Trigger)
3 x Amon's Follower, Psychic Waitress (Draw Trigger)

Grade 1: 14 cards
4 x March Rabbit of Nightmareland (Perfect Guard)
4 x Poet of Darkness, Amo
3 x Alluring Succubus
3 x Devil Child

Grade 2: 11 cards
3 x Amon's Follower, Psycho Glaive
3 x Decadent Succubus
1 x Flirtatious Succubus
4 x Fatigue Succubus

Grade 3: 8 cards
4 x King of Masks, Dantarian
4 x Echo of Nemesis

Special mentions
Greedy Hands (G0) - If you prefer getting that soul quick, he's your best option
Dimension Creeper (G1) - Use Greedy Hands to soul in this guy. After which, soul blast again for more souls!
Doreen the Thruster (G1) - Dimension Creeper and Echo of Nemesis can make her be a good 18k booster
Yellow Bolt (G1) - Again, if you prefer getting to 10 souls really quick
Emblem Master (G2) - You will have plenty of counterblast to use and his ability easily threaten the opponent to guard. They will always try not to let you get 10 souls.
Gwynn the Ripper (G2) - Again, with so many counterblasts not used, you can always choose to snipe away those irritating boosters or interceptors.

I hope you enjoy and give the deck a try. Echo of Nemesis is really one strong deck that can also counter lock decks since he attack power is a constant 21k.

A few days ago, I've posted the WIXOSS booster set 1 unboxing video. Now it's time for the Trial Deck, Blue Appli. This is just a short and quick video so there isn't much for me to comment on except for you all to enjoy the video!

It's finally here! The TCG that somehow received lukewarm responses among my cliques and have a little bit of hype in the interwebs. Sadly, I have a little bit of issue with the TCG currently...I still have no idea how to play it properly (why isn't there anyone out there translating the rule book!? ARGH!!). I have mentioned this a couple of times before that my Japanese isn't that great so I'm kinda struggling along with the rulebook, which makes me wish each kanji have a ruby above them.

Anyways, here are my thoughts on the trial deck. It feels nice on the hands and it's kinda thick. If anyone here who read this plays Prism Connect, yeah, about that kind of thickness. Weiss Schwarz feels slightly more thinner in my honest opinion but as of late, WS cards feel slightly more thicker than how it use to be printed before after feeling out between Kantai Collection and Project Diva F. Maybe it's just me?

Anyways, today I'm bringing out two unboxing videos; one for Kara no Kyoukai and another Wake Up Girls!. Sadly as the owner of Zvezda was busy so I am unable to show an unboxing video of that one, though I still am holding it hostage. Hope you enjoy! As mentioned, there might be one sign card in each trial deck or we're just lucky. My friend in the video even mentioned that there's a possibility that all the trial decks have a sign card but one of the card would be a golden foil or signature but these are just mere speculation. Now to time try and understand the rule book...again.

Wixoss is finally out and my boosters are finally delivered. What else should I do other than a box opening video. Admittedly, this is a long video, spanning about 45 minutes.


So what is Wixoss? Well, it is a TCG that appears from the anime Selector Infected WIXOSS. The anime is a little dark, not like Madoka and Daybreak Illusion dark but it's quite an interesting watch. The game play is a little lengthy but Anime Senshi Subs has kindly translated the Quick Start Guide for us to read comfortably in English. If you're interested to see how the game is played, you will be interested in the Wixoss tutorial by Kudou Kun. Interestingly, Takara Tomy has the TCG's recommended age to 15 and above.

Also, here's a quick breakdown on how each box of WIXOSS is packed.
1 box have 20 packs. In the 20 packs, there's 5 alternate foils (in total) for the Commons, Rares and LRIGs, there are 4 SR (Super Rare) cards and 1 LR (LRIG Rare). In addition to that, if your box have a SECRET card (or a signed card), it will replace one of the 4 SRs. So in total, one box of 20 packs have 10 packs that contains a foil card.

With the introduction out of the way, here's the awaited video! If it is too long for you, scroll to the bottom for some pictures of the foil cards! If you're looking for any cards that you need, feel free to come by the online store!

It's been almost a month since the last update, apologies. I've been quite busy updating the online store. It's not even halfway done yet as I still need to add in cards from Ange Vierge.

Speaking of Ange Vierge, a new extra booster was released recently named Chapter 3.5: Progress' Holiday. Now don't get confused. This is not their 3rd extra booster but it is the first. The way boosters and trial decks for Ange Vierge are release are from the means of "Chapters". Like Chapter 0 is their prologue, which was their first Trial Deck and Chapter 1, 2 and 3 was boosters while Chapter 2.5 was a trial deck. It may sound confuse at first but from the trend, it seems chapters in whole numbers are boosters while anything in between (aka .5s) are either trial decks or extra boosters. To make things simpler, they have fine prints on the box and booster packs itself to identify what boosters they are. An example would be AS-01 which means "Ange Starter-01" which is their trial deck with AB-01 which means "Ange Booster-01" which would be their boosters and finally EX-01 which would be "Extra-01" for their extra boosters. The numbering will increase of course.

Now where was I...oh yea, the unboxing for Ange Vierge extra booster! Without further ado, here's the unboxing video!

Here are some images of the foils from the unboxing.







Also, this is a little bit of shameless ad but it'll be great if someone could help with the translation of the cards as well at the Ange Vierge wikia. Sadly, there is only so much one person can do.

I quite frustrated with ebay. Too many restrictions and issues that I've made a decision 2 weeks ago to might as well start an eStore. And now, two weeks later, the store is now up and running! There are a few kinks left to fix, mainly;

1. Paypal only payment. I know paypal sucks but because of location issue I can only accept paypal. Looking to other modes of payment though
2. Older cards (pre BT12) won't be stocked up, unless I managed to find some.

For now, I only have Cardfight!! Vanguard up. But I will be adding in more TCGs to the list such as Weiss Schwarz, Ange Vierge and Sieg Krone among others. That's about it for today. For those reading, I do hope you spread the word around!

Despite being considered a "not so good TCG" from the English community, it seems to have quite a bit of following in Japan. Now I'm not going to rant about that now, or anytime soon. But instead, this is yet another unboxing video for Seig Krone.

Currently the trend of Sieg Krone is going towards to having TCGs from anime series. After their initial release of Holy War Cerberus, which is both a game and manga, they went on to Attack on Titans, Zettai Bouei Leviathan, Noragami and Super Sonico the Animation. I don't intend to actually get Noragami and Sonico, but I do have in hand Leviathan. So without further ado, here's the unboxing video for Zettai Bouei Leviathan.

A new TCG will be releasing in April 25th 2014 titled Level NEO. It's a joint venture between Movic and Ensky who are the TCG makers of Prism Connect and Precious Memories. The new TCG will be making used of anime characters as used in Precious Memories and Prism Connect as well as other TCGs like Weiss Schwarz and Sieg Krone.

So far, Level NEO has announce 4 series, Garden of Sinners: Gospel in the Future, Wake Up Girls!, World Conquest Zvezda Plot and The Irregular at Magic High School which will air in April. All series announced are famous series and may attract players to the TCG.

The trial decks for Garden of Sinners: Gospel in the Future, Wake Up Girls! and World Conquest Zvezda Plot are set to be released in April 25 at about 535jpy each according to webstore Amiami. Most likely just for the first release as according to their road map in the rule book, the trial deck will cost 1200jpy each with booster pack cost 330jpy. They have stated on the release dates of the boosters with 23rd May for Garden of Sinners, 27th June for Wake Up Girls and 25th July for World Conquest Zvezda Plot. No dates for The Irregular at Magic High School but it is stated in the road map as releasing in Summer.

 
I am looking forward to this new TCG. It has this similar feeling to Vanguard and Weiss Schwarz. Personally, it does look like it has lots of potential. As for the game play itself, I have yet to see it and I am in the middle of struggling in translating the rule book (my Japanese ain't that good). Probably someone else would have it translated weeks ago by the time I finish.

Level NEO Tutorial (English)

The dark Marquis have have revived himself to be more powerful at the cost of having a bad choice for his latest image change that made him look more of a dried tree/decomposing cockroach(?). But don't let that old twig fool you, his limit break is indeed powerful that butting heads with him unprepared may cost you that win.

So what makes Amon Reverse powerful? Well, technically, nothing much. His limit break ability is somewhat a carbon copy of the original Amon, with just that extra critical in the midst. This actually makes Amon a big hitter along with that huge pressure on the centre line. Sadly, the draw back like most Dark Irregulars deck have is its overall slow setup. But if a player is skilled enough to actually set up his field, he'll be pretty much at a point of advantage.

There are a few variations of Amon Reverse decks that I'll be putting in but most of the cards will remain the same with slight changes

Staple Amon Grade 0: 17 units 1 x Devil in Shadow (First vanguard) 1 x Hysteric Shirly (Draw trigger) 4 x Amon's Follower, Psychic Waitress (Draw trigger) 4 x Amon's Follower, Cruel Hand (Critical trigger) 3 x Dark Knight of Nightmareland (Critical trigger) 4 x Amon's Follower, Hell's Trick (Heal trigger) Grade 1: 15 units 4 x Amon's Follower, Hell's Deal 3 x Poet of Darkness Amon 4 x Amon's Follower, Phu Geenlin 4 x Amon's Follower, Vlad Specula (perfect guard) Grade 2: 11 units 4 x Amon's Follower, Ron Geenlin 4 x Amon's Follower, Psycho Glaive 3 x Amon's Follower, Hell's Draw Grade 3: 7 units 3 x Demon World Marquis, Amon 4 x Demon Marquis, Amon "Яeverse"

Power Amon Grade 0: 17 units 1 x Devil in Shadow (First vanguard) 1 x Hysteric Shirly (Draw trigger) 4 x Amon's Follower, Psychic Waitress (Draw trigger) 4 x Amon's Follower, Cruel Hand (Critical trigger) 3 x Dark Knight of Nightmareland (Critical trigger) 4 x Amon's Follower, Hell's Trick (Heal trigger) Grade 1: 14 units 3 x Amon's Follower, Hell's Deal 3 x Poet of Darkness Amon 4 x Amon's Follower, Phu Geenlin 4 x Amon's Follower, Vlad Specula (perfect guard) Grade 2: 11 units 4 x Amon's Follower, Ron Geenlin 4 x Amon's Follower, Psycho Glaive 3 x Amon's Follower, Hell's Draw Grade 3: 7 units 4 x King of Masks, Dantarian 4 x Demon Marquis, Amon "Яeverse"

Burst Amon Grade 0: 17 units 1 x Devil in Shadow (First vanguard) 1 x Hysteric Shirly (Draw trigger) 4 x Amon's Follower, Psychic Waitress (Draw trigger) 4 x Amon's Follower, Cruel Hand (Critical trigger) 3 x Dark Knight of Nightmareland (Critical trigger) 4 x Amon's Follower, Hell's Trick (Heal trigger) Grade 1: 15 units 4 x Amon's Follower, Hell's Deal 3 x Bloody Calf 4 x Amon's Follower, Phu Geenlin 4 x Amon's Follower, Vlad Specula (perfect guard) Grade 2: 11 units 4 x Amon's Follower, Ron Geenlin 3 x Gwynn the Ripper 4 x Amon's Follower, Hell's Draw Grade 3: 7 units 3 x Demon World Marquis, Amon/King of Masks, Dantarian 4 x Demon Marquis, Amon "Яeverse"

Here's a quick description for the three decks:
Staple Amon: I call this "Staple" as almost ALL Amon decks that I've come across plays this very same build, although mine have its trigger tweaked a little by reducing the crits and increasing the draws.
Power Amon: This decks simply replaces the normal G3 Amons for the Break Ride option. The deck will still work although some units that requires an Amon vanguard will fail for a short time which is pretty much negligible actually.
Burst Amon: One of my favourite build. As Amon decks tend not to use counterblasts at all, which I find a waste of good resources. Bloody Calf and Gwynn are good tech cards to screw up your opponent's field. This deck requires some skill to play but it's overall effects are devastating.

Three different builds. I just give them simple deck names just because I'm lazy. All three decks uses the same Starter and Triggers. They all play 5 Draws, 7 Criticals and 4 Heals along with Devil in Shadow as your staple G3 searcher. I find the new starter, "Amon's Follower, Fate Collector" is not that great of a starter as it simply let you draw a card and I rather increase my chances of not getting grade stuck in addition to using Devil in Shadow to filter out my G3s.

For the Grade 1s, the Staple and Power decks have the same line up. Hell's Deal soul charges two cards. Geenlin is your generic 10k attacker. Poet Amon is your 9k booster and Vlad is the perfect guard. These units are stays much the same in most Amon decks. For the Burst build, Bloody calf is your go to gal to retire your opponent's boosters and make them rage. Some decks may play Dimension Creeper, so you may want to give it a double take.

Like the Grade 1, both Staple and Power builds have the same line up. Ron Geenlin is that 12k attacker, with Hell's Draw your soul charger. Psycho Glaive is my personal favourite as it both gains power and adds one to the soul. For the Burst build, Glaive was replaced with Gwynn to stomp out your opponent's G2 and below.

My Grade 3s varies on all 3 decks. While the Staple decks usually goes with both Amon types, the Power type replaces the original Amon for the break ride option. This pretty much screams "perfect guard all my attacks or lose!". The Burst build however is more flexible. While Amon Reverse remains at 4, the other options of using Dantarian or normal Amon depends on the player. Both works but it up to the player's level of comfort on which unit to use.

I've come to report my bad news of the day. I wasn't able to win in neither the Vanguard qualifiers, and I was pretty confident that I am able to get in too but somehow reality decides to give me a swift kick in the ass big time.

Finally, the box that I've been waiting for! Booster box 11! Thanks to Conquer001 for recording the video for me. This time around, I used a better camera than my previous few videos. And if you're complaining about it being too shaky and stuff...yeah, you know who to look for. And wow, getting 2 SPs from just 2 boxes...I'm amazed at myself as I never had this kind of luck before \(^o^)/ ! Without further ado, the unboxing video. But first, I apologize for the noise as there are a few other players opening their boxes as well but still, enjoy!


Sadly I couldn't get 2 more of the cards that I need (basically Dauntless Drive Dragon), I may have to switch strategies for tomorrow's Singapore Qualifier. I managed to snag a few Blockade Inferno so I may be trying out a couple of builds first before finalizing on the cards. I'm currently leaning more towards Seal Dragons, but we'll see how it goes.

Booster 11 have lots of upgrades for a number of clans; Narukami, Angel Feather, Aqua Force, Tachikaze, the new Genesis and Kagero. Many are hyped up about the updates but my attention will go to Kagero, which received lukewarm attention and simply because I don't play and am not interested in other clans.

Yay!! Another video!! I planned to upload it 3 days back but work, procrastination and Pokemon Y has gotten me busy...Okay, I'll fess up; Pokemon Y was the main reason.

Devil Survivor 2 extra box is mainly consist of Blue and Yellow and I have yet have played against it in a proper game per se, but I did have a quick match with an impromptu deck that was build as soon as we finished unboxing them. I won't say good or bad it is, but I'll just have to wait till my friend build the deck properly

Just a simple notice. I'm not the owner of the boxes and again, I'm the crappy cameraman behind the lens.

With every new boosters or extra boosters, some will rage, some will celebrate while leaving some with a "you've gotta be kidding me" expression. Looking through booster boxes 10 to 13 and the list of possible support for booster 14 was enough to make me rage. Don't get me started on the extra boosters either.

Some clans have way too much support, like Gold Paladin, Narukami and Nova Grappler, that even have a staggering 4 archetype! Seriously Bushiroad, does Nova Grapplers really need that much archetype!? It's already strong enough, if not overpowered, as it is! What about other clans that need much more support than these clans? I won't include Nubatama in the list since it got its support in BT13 but what about the other clans like Megacolony, Murakumo, Granblue and Spike Brothers? Okay, sure Megacolony will be getting more support in BT15 and Murakumo in BT14 but by how much and how well can these clans do against those huge name clans that are currently topping the charts left and right as well as getting more support from the very same boosters?

Continuing on, clans like Narukami getting supports from BT10, BT11, BT12 and BT14, Gold Paladin getting boosts from BT10, BT12 and BT14 while other clans like Great Nature getting only support from BT13, Spike Brothers only on BT10, Granblue in BT13 with only 7 cards for them. Now look at Gold Paladin. Narukami, Angel Feather or Aqua Force; how many booster boxes do they appear in? These clans already are strong as it is but getting more cards to make them even stronger while making other clans low priority is not a good idea to promote balance in the game.

Some argued that despite having more cards does not equate excellent support. I would say not quite so. Most of the support that most of us look at are at the "R" to "RRR" rarity. Commons? Not so much. Some common cards are pretty much staple or have better options. Every single time new cards got revealed, they're mostly new vanguards for a few clans and are mostly of "RR" or "RRR" rarity. We'll see one or two cards for alternative clans and then, a page spread of new cards for the most supported clans in Vanguard.

I personally don't mind having some support for a few clans in one booster box as Bushiroad is doing now but having more than half the clan in the box support for the meta clans that can dish out one-sided beating against non-meta clans is way too much that the only way to beat them is by using meta vs meta, unless of course you got lucky enough that your opponent wasn't able to guard against your attacks.

Still, this is just me ranting and venting out my anger. I know some will agree with me, some will disagree but I'm merely just mashing down my thoughts here. In the end, what I simply want to say is give other clans some love too rather on the the already large clans.

The trial decks was out two weeks ago, but I have yet to actually had a match against one. A friend of mine decided to make one liberator deck for the fun of it - even buying 4 of the trial decks. I initially thought it would be a simple few matches but boy, was I wrong.

By now, break rides is not much of new news. For us English players, we have a taste of its power in the form of mermaids that have their own sets of extra boosters back in July. Yes, I'm talking about Bermuda Triangle.

If you have not heard of break rides before, here's a quick intro; a break ride is when you ride another unit, mainly a Grade 3, on top of another necessary Grade 3, therefore activating its skill when at 4 damage. The effects mainly gives the vanguard a boost of 10,000 power as well as large benefits to the rearguards or penalties to the opponent's field. A very bold example will be the cheatwares Link Joker and Narukami. It is situational, but still, strong.

So now I'm back with what I started in the beginning of this rant. I fought against a newly formed liberator deck and got trashed left and right. Break ride on top of a break ride on top of a break ride...please, I have enough!! As usual, Gold Paladins and Narukami, while already strong to the point of too strong, now got way too strong with their new supports. Still, it will take some time for most of us to get use fighting against these decks.


Now enough of Gold Paladins and Narukami. Tomorrow is the Booster Draft for BT11 and I definitely can't wait to get my hands on them, even if it's just 6 packs! A week after, Booster 11 will be officially released. Of course I'm aiming for Kagero units, mainly the Seal Dragons and Dauntless Drive Dragon. Dauntless Drive with Lawkeeper sounds fun but Flare Whip Dragon will definitely be more trolling.


Still, one day after the release of BT11, it'll be the qualifiers for the World Championships in Singapore. From the looks of the trends, most players will be going Dauntless Drive + DOTE, Aqua Force, Angel Feather and Tachikaze, seeing as these clans will be getting huge support as well as Bermuda Triangle. As for what I'll be using, I'm still undecided. I'm aiming to either use Shadow Paladin Ildona or Spike Brothers, but my gut feeling is saying otherwise. Most probably I'll be following what my instincts tells me to do on that day. But I'm quite pissed off at Bushiroad for postponing BT10 to December. My Bad End Dragger!!!! T^T

In my previous post for Weiss Schwarz Project Diva F, I mentioned having 3 decks. This too was touted another deck with combo rarely used or never seen before that veteran players was surprise with or other Project Diva F users never thought of. This deck is my very first deck that I build after getting myself the booster boxes using Red and Blue.

A few players that borrowed the deck says it's not that easy to use. I have to agree a little on that. This deck relies a bit of combo when you're still at level one, but as long as you know how to use what cards you have efficiently, it is quite straight forward. But one of the most often comment I get is the deck doesn't have any change cards (from G2 to G3) or cards that recover damage. This is quite true as for Project Diva F, both Red and Blue cards have no change or cards that recover that one damage. Still, I do find it powerful enough that such skills can be neglected, albeit good to have.

Now enough with my rants and on to the deck list!

Level 0:

• 2 x Kagamine Len "Bad Boy"
• 4 x Hatsune Miku "Solitude"
• 2 x Hatsune Miku "Memoria"
• 1 x "Endless Singing" Hatsune Miku
• 3 x Hatsune Miku "Rin-chan Love Squad No.1"
• 2 x Megurine Luka "SW Resort Bikini"
• 2 x MEIKO "SW Long Pareo"

Oracle Think Tank used to be a clan dominating tournaments left and right in Japan with Tsukuyomi standing and the forefront, until BT10 was introduced and OTT getting overshadowed by a new clan, Genesis. I have been using OTT for quite sometime, but not too long. I only started using them after EB05, Celestial Valkyries, introduced the Battle Sisters archetype. I couldn't be bothered with the Tsukuyomi build since it's just too common, and during that time, not many was interested in Battle Sisters so I got the cards I needed for rather cheap too. Amaterasu wasn't fun either and I don't really like playing crossrides anyways.

Now where was I, ah yes, Magus. There was an initial hype for the archetype but again, players are more inclined towards powerful clans like Link Joker and Narukami, and therefore, died down a week or two after their release. I do find Magus a strong clan, though in my opinion, needs a bit more of a support. They are powerful as it is, don't get me wrong, but I do love having some options to add on.

The purpose of a Magus deck is to increase both hand size and power, and at the same time, plan ahead. It does requires some luck and skill you will need to know the right timing of using each unit's effects. Still, each player's play style is different so different strategies may work as well. There are good and bad. Good thing about the deck is that you know what cards are coming up next, bad thing is, your opponent knows what card or triggers you'll get too so you have to keep this in mind. Now on to the deck list!

Grade 0: 17 units

• 1 x Battle Sister Eclair (Starting Vanguard)
• 4 x Lozenge Magus (Heal Trigger)
• 3 x Battle Sister Tiramisu (Draw Trigger)
• 4 x Battle Sister Ginger (Critical Trigger)
• 4 x Psychic Bird (Critical Trigger)
• 1 x Oracle Guardian Nike (Critical Trigger)

What!? An update so quick!? Is the sky falling!? No, sky is not falling and I'm updating cause there's some free time in my hand. This time around, there's videos!! Now here's the bad news...the quality is bad. Not too bad, but still, bad. The sound is not as great and is a bit soft and all, so you may have to put up the volume of your headphones or speakers. Just a simple disclaimer, the one doing the unboxing isn't me; I'm the lousy camera man and the items here are my friend's.

With much said and done, I'm sad to say I couldn't make it. Despite giving my all I lost very early during the tournament. I wanted to post about my experience last week, but I decided skip that for now since work has piled up after my return from Kuala Lumpur. I was pretty confident I can make it far but didn't expect to be booted out in the 2nd round.

Preparation was all good. My Spike Brothers deck performed well before the tournament and everything seems good, except for my luck.  My first match was against Gold Paladin Platina build. Not so surprising here. I took a deep breath, shuffle the deck and cut my opponent's deck in 2. He did the same. Then I draw my first 5 cards...my hand was shockingly bad; 3 critical triggers, a heal trigger and a High Speed Brakki. I kept Brakki in hand and mulligan the rest of the cards. After having the deck shuffled and cut, I drew 4 cards...which consists of a Marilyn, a critical trigger, a heal trigger and a Juggernaut Maximum.

It was a...quick match. My opponent superior ride to Ezel and hit me left and right. I couldn't drive check triggers either as I keep drawing them to hand and I couldn't get attackers out on the field either. My opponent got himself all the triggers giving me a hard time guarding as well. Despite all the guarding and struggling, I ended up losing. My opponent gives a smirk for the easy win and started acting all high and mighty. I packed up and simply left.

After the first match was over, we head on to the second one. I say this match was good of Scarlet Witch vs Dudley. My first hand was bad...4 triggers and a Marilyn. I mulligan everything and ended up with pretty much my ideal hand; 2 Field Drillers, 1 Dudley Emperor, a Wonder Boy and a Medical Manager. I started first, a good sign. On my turn, I drew a Panzer Gale, which is a another good sign. Rode Medical Manager, opt not to soul charge and attacked and drive checked a critical trigger. Looks like this match is going to be good.

I rushed him at G2 with Field Driller as the vanguard, another field driller on the side and Panzer Gale boosted with Tiara. Everything went well but somehow, I wasn't able to trigger much. During that match, I managed to drive check triggers only 3 or 4 times. Sad to say, I lost the match, but it was a good and refreshing one despite the loss. I congratulate my opponent and gave him a handshake.

With my chance now over, waited for the next few events - the free fights for Vanguard and Weiss Schwarz and tag team tournament! I managed to bag myself a Creeping Dark Goat, which I now use in my Shadow Paladin deck, and some WS promos. Tag team tournament went well, with my team mate and I bagging the wins easily. I was also quite surprise that a foil card is available in the PR pack (not mine, someone else's) as well as getting a Dudley Emperor sleeves in the lucky draw. I took some pictures for everyone to enjoy, just don't count on the quality.
