Not enough people showed up today for us to have a tournament. It was just Angel, his brother, and myself. Another guy showed up a bit later but he was mostly just a collector so there was no way we could have a tournament.
Instead, we all sat around discussing the new ban list and how its going to affect the game. Then we went on to trading like usual. After buying my booster box of Judgement of The Light, I had quite a few cards to trade. I ended up getting a few more Icarus Attack and Delta Wing Anti Revers for my Blackwing deck. I was also able to get an Evilswarm Kerykeion and 2 Infestation Pandemics for my Crippled Evil Dino deck. Then I managed to pick up a few more Mystical Space Typhoons and Pot of Dualitys which I need for all the decks I’ve been building.
I asked for some help with my Battlin’ Boxer deck too and they showed me what I could add to make it better. Turns out I had a few pretty good cards to add, like Stoic Challenge. Then, just to show me how good the deck is, Angel’s brother challenged me to a duel: His Battlin’ Boxer deck vs my Blackwing deck. I was destroyed.
After today my opinion of the decks I have has changed a bit. I believe I’m now going to lean more on the Battlin’ Boxer deck, with my Evilswarm Dino deck coming in at a close second. Those two have the most potential I think. Battlin’ Boxers survive a lot of abuse and dish out just as much, and Evilswarm Ophion is just too good at preventing special summons.
I’m a little more optimistic about the regionals next month than I was before so that’s a good thing. Also, every one of my decks has changed after today so I’ll be making changes to them in the next few days. I’m also going to change the deck lists from post form to page form so they will be more permanent and easy to access.
