Box Tourney Report @ Lan World Gaming! 1/29/12

Name: Choua
Deck: Inzektor Wind-Ups
Place: 1st! <-- OH YEAH BABY! lol jk.
26 Duelists
5 rounds of swiss - cut to Top8

Round 1 vs Tony X. (Inzektor Wind-Ups) OO
Game1: I won dice roll and started out with -5 in his hand because of Pot Of Avarice then -1 on his field in turn 2 with DAD + Leviair + friends = he scooped.
Game2: DD Crow his Hunter and countered him with my sided cards for the win.

Round 2 vs TeamKhang_CNK >.< (T.G. Stun) OO
We both talked it through like gentle mans and he agreed that if I was his tie-breaker he would have a better chance of getting top 8. CNK = very smart man!

Round 3 vs Lou Y. (Inzektor Wind-Ups) OXO
Game 1: It started slow but it ended up with me on without 0LP.
Game 2: We were able to stop each other's plays but he had the better counter cards that he opened with.
Game 3: DD Crow and Mirror of Oaths was nice to me. He sent Hornet from Dragonfly to destroy my monster, s/s Centipede and I play Mirror of Oaths to get a +1, got rid of his Dragonfly then later DD Crow his Hunter and avoided hand destruction for the win.

Round 4 vs Guy...(Zombie Plants - similar to PK's build) XOX
Game 1: I opened bad so he rushed for game.
Game 2: I destruct his hand and control board for game.
Game 3: It came down to 2 cards in my hand (MST + Hornet) and 2 cards on his side of the board (Debris Dragon, Librarian and 1 set S/T). During my DP I drew into Centipede; I was contemplating on either playing MST or not because I thought it may have been a CotH and didnt want him to get a +1 since he had a Goblin Zombie in his grave so I decided to not play MST yet and to go ahead and just normal summon Centipede. When I did, he activated Compulsory Evacuation Device and I scooped to him. :(

Round 5 vs James (T.G. Stun) OO
Game 1: Wind-Ups -3 in his hand then Inzektors control board ftw.
Game 2: Royal Decree did most of the support for my Inzektor control. However I think he just didnt want to carry the undefeated curse into Top8. ;)

Top 8 vs Houawa (Monster Madness!) OO (this was a rematch from the Wednesday Tourney)
Game 1: He was able to pull off some pretty good plays but because I had my Trap support I was able to win.
Game 2: He opened with Venus, pulled out 3x Shine Balls and went into Gachi, stalled me for a bit and I took a bit of damage from his Gallis Star Beast burns but I was able to wait it out and draw my Hornet to get a good comback by clearing his field and hand to win it.

Top 4 vs TeamKhang_CNK (T.G. Stun) XOO (we were playing forrealz this time)
Game 1: He won the dice roll, set a bunch in the s/t zone with a face up Rhino. I had nothing to stop him even though I tried to pull a victory out of my ass that didnt work...
Game 2: Before G2 started, he asked me to play serious. We started off kinda slow but by turn 3 I was able to start clearing his field and controlled his hand ftw.
Game 3: I opened with Royal Decree including my Inzektors and even though I went 2nd, Decree was able to stop all his traps by turn 3 before I made my Inzektor plays. Luckily he didnt have any MST. I controlled and still destroyed his trap cards even though he couldnt put them in play because I didnt want him to top deck a heavy storm or MST. He also forgot to drop TG Warwolf when I did my Wind-Up plays so it was GG for him.

Playing for 1st vs Andrew (Wind-ups) OXO
Game 1: He attempts to control my hand first turn since he won the dice roll but luckily I opened with a Maxx "C" to stop his play and came back with my own combo. Had kind of a broken hand which consist of Hornet, Dragonfly, Foolish Burial, Pot of Avarice and Instant Fusion...So you know what happened.
Game 2: He didnt open into his Wind-Up plays at all however he opened with 2 Maxx "C" and was able to stop all my plays. It was a struggling war and he won G2.
Game 3: I was able to control early in game however I couldnt end the game as he keep top decking into Rats and Wind-up Warriors which was stronger than my Hunter and ZenMaighties. He had the upper hand with Warrior and Zenmaighty, however I top decked into Tour Guide and went into Zenmaines to clear his field. Next turn he responded with cyber dragon + Shark = Tirus, Keeper of Armageddon. I took a few blows but when Tirus was all out of materials, I was able to come back and win with Dragonfly + Hornet that was in my grave.

Results, 4-1 in swiss rounds, took 1st in top8, ORCS sealed box as prize!

Overall thoughts; I played all good decks! I'm very satisfied with my current build. Compulsory Evac and PWWB helped me A LOT throughout the day. During Round 3 I was able to Compulsory Lou's Zenmaines to get a comeback. In Round 1 I PWWB Tony's Wind-Up Hunter and left him with a Rat in defense mode. I love using these two cards because they kinda have a "What?" or a "uMad bro?" response after activation which also = :) for me...

Advice, try the deck out. There are a lot of plays to make and dont auto pilot it! Even though it's kind of auto-pilot...

Whats next? I've been thinking about making a full Inzektor build that seem to have caught my interest that I've also been testing. LMK if you guys are interested in Inzektor OTK?!

Inzektor Wind-Up Update!

Latest version...




I've made some minor changes since the "How To Stop Inzektors" video. I actually incorporated some of those cards in that video into my side deck only. I kept everything the same in the main deck because I felt it was flowing with consistency and didnt need anything to be changed. So here is the Side Deck list for that change...

Thunder King Rai-Oh x2
Snowman Eater
Penguin Soldier
Maxx "C"
D.D. Crow x2
Mystical Space Typhoon
Dimensional Fissure x2
Mirror of Oaths x2
Royal Decree x3

The only changes I made were taking out the side against any machine decks which were the Cyber Dragons + Chimeratech Dragon and added in the 3rd Royal Decree and the 2 Mirror of Oaths. I'm actually glad I did those side changes because I used the Oaths' a lot and I ended up using the Decrees alot at the end too.

Some thoughts before I get into the box tourney report; lets talk about siding in D. Fissure when going up against the mirror for a min here. Dimensional Fissure can actually be a pretty good card to side in! 'Why' or 'how' you ask? Well, your opponent will most likely side in Effect Veilers or Maxx "C" so they can hope to stop you! I know what you're thinking and thats why I said "OR" because I've seen some of these builds on the internet and some duelist prefer 2/3 Effect Veilers over Max "C" and vise-versa.

Anyways, back to the point of Difi (will from now on be short for Dimensional Fissure because its too long to type all that!) being sided in against the mirror, your opponent will do whatever that is necessary to stop your Dragonfly/Centipede plays and the only cards that they have in mind are cards that activate from the hand so they either get a + or you get a -.

A lot of other players are siding in DD Crow now too.

Back to subject, before making any plays, first thing you want to do is make sure Difi is active on the board! In other words, put it in play before you do anything...after you activate Difi, start your Dragonfly play and let it rip your opponent's field! They will hate having Maxx "C"/Effect Veiler/DD Crow in their hand as they get to watch you rape them with your bugs! Ofcourse if you're like me you would want to attack the hand right after clearing the field in case of Gorz/Tragoedia/Battle Fader. After doing all that, its pretty much SP (Scoop Phase) for them.

Next time, I'll make a video on advance tech cards for the meta and why the old popular cards just don't work anymore. Until then, have fun!
