My article on Equips just got reposted to GoatFormat.com!
I'm very excited about this of course, and if this is your first time here, welcome! I'm going to wait a day or two to put my newest article--Monster Removal--on Discord and Facebook so as not to inundate people with my content, but if you're already here, it's live and ready to go.

My opponent chooses to ban my Phoenix (Soul Control) build, I choose to ban his Turbo Chaos, leaving Stein Gate and Warriors in the mix. It doesn't go well for me. Main takeaway: ALWAYS BAN WARRIORS.
Round 1 I open Warriors against his Stein Gate and lose after holding Heavy + Don too long. Round 2 I maintain Warriors against his Warriors deck and win after my opponent improbably never draws a LIGHT to fuel his BLS for game while I end up topdecking my own. I make a crucial mistake setting DDA here. Round 3 I fail to read Dust when my Asura attacks over his Blade Knight and end up losing a Book of Moon, this ends up costing me the game. Opponent chose to ban Warrior from my lineup, leaving Chaos Control, and Phoenix (Soul Control). I chose to ban Reversal Quiz from his lineup, leaving Gravekeepers and Chaos Turbo. I haven't fought against Reversal Quiz in a tournament in over a decade, so I wasn't about to start now, lol.
Round 1 I choose to open with Soul Control, since I have faith in my Decrees, Mobius, and Jinzo, to get me through the trap heavy lineup either of his other decks were likely to have; I didn't want to open with Chaos yet because if I were me, I would open GKs. I go for an early Phoenix, but misunderstand Necrovalley to negate her self-summon. Despite this, I reread Necrovalley at a critical time to get Twin-Headed Behemoth back on the board, having long passed a reasonable amount of time to try to reverse the game state to include my Phoenix's revival. I misplay against Necrovalley a lot, need more practice vs GKs. My opponent bricked and that helped a lot. I win the first game. For round 2, as the victor, I was forced to switch decks, and so it came down to Chaos Control vs Necrovalley. After losing more than half my life to a swarm attack including a Berserk Gorilla, I play the most clutch of all Lightning Vortexes and then Thousand-Eyes Restrict saves the day, making up for the blanked Chaos monsters. I win the second game, and advance in the tournament! |
