Hey Cardfighters,
This weeks tournament result is for a best of 1, double elimination style tournament with about 13-14 entrants.
I played my Great Nature Legion+Breakride Deck. There is a deck profile on our YouTube channel
Vanguard Central so please check it out!
Round 1 VS. Thing Saver + Majesty Lord Blaster
My opponent was grade locked at 1 for a turn or 2 which allowed me to get some early guarding off very easily to save damage for the thing saver stands that were to come. I tried to do a balance of pressure and power to conserve hand to guard Thing Saver. On his restand right after legion I was only at 2 and I came out fairly unscathed at 4 damage (no criticals). I actually would have lost if he had a critical because I had very little to guard with in my hand. The next turn I broke rode Polaris to try to burn down his 8 card hand so he wouldn't have much to push back at me if he lived. He had 2 perfect guards but lived with only 1 card in hand. On his turn he did the restanding attack again and I had to gamble with no guard at 4 damage. Luckily he didn't pull one and I survived the turn to finish him off by re-riding into Tester Fox.
Round 2 (Winners) VS. Blaukugers
My opponent wasn't grade locked but he rode into stern blaukuger without the grade 2 so with boost he was only attacking for 15k which was an easy 10k-2pass scenario while I sat on breakride. While he lacked pressure his 20k vanguard also made him vulnerable to my 20k attacks from Chatnoir boosted by duckbill. Eventually he switched into the crossride but it was a little to late to do anything as I broke rode polaris and destroyed his hand. Next turn I re-rode into Tester Fox to close out the game.
Round 3 (Winners) VS. Omega Glendios (World End Version)
Link Jokers vs. Great nature is interesting because I can keep my board decently clear but if they do get front row locks it hurts you a ton. He was able to get a lot of the cards he wanted using World-line dragon, and then transitioned into the Damstadium Break Ride. I used a strategy focusing around compass lion to keep attacking with an extra column but retiring lion at the end of the turn to prevent locks. He stuck only on break ride with no rearguard columns to provide pressure so I slowly amassed a huge hand. Eventually I got to limit break and use Polaris. He couldn't guard all of my attacks and I won.
Round 4 (Winners) VS. Bluish Flames
This match up scared me because he was using the koongal starter which could easily pump up Explosion Blue to almost unguardable amounts. I started first which was really good as I was able to ride Compass lion at grade 2. On his turn he went auto pilot and used Regulation Aglovale to call Oath Aglovale but he couldn't attack my 11k compass lion. I went aggresive with binoculus tiger which he promptly attacked a lot. I guarded with my zeroes because even though I was worried about Explosion Blue I was more worried I wouldn't be able to close the game without binoculus tiger. He did a lot of calling plays but didn't use Explosion Blue which really surprised me (I knew he could have). I easily passed the turn going up to 4 damage. I broke rode Polaris and finished him off that turn.
Grand Finals VS. Blaukugers (rematch)
This match was much more even he started off really aggresively which put me into a bad position early game. Unfortunately he did misplay twice which cost him the game. First when I was at 3 damage and he pulled a critical trigger he put the crit on a rearguard thinking I wouldn't get limit break. Unfortunately I was getting it anyway and he lost a free damage. I broke rode tester fox this game and started my +1 engine every turn in hopes to out grind him. He pushed back with his own Breakride combo for blaukugers which forces me to guard 5 attacks to prevent his vanguard from standing. Luckily his rearguard columns were only 5k guards. He misplayed that turn when I no guarded the vanguard, took damage and he speeded into attacking with his rearguard and forgot to stand up his vanguard. (he realized this just after unfortunately but since its tournament its unfortunate) Without the extra vanguard attack converting into 2 more rearguard attacks I easily guarded for the rest of his turn and won the turn after.
With the Blau player unable to bracket reset me out of Losers I won the tournament undefeated!
