9/8/2012 Anaheim Regionals Report

 I wanted to play something rogue, but worms had really pissed me off at a locals i didnt bother reporting about 2 weeks back. Basically, I opened worm king 12 games in a row. So that was completely out of the question. After some playtesting on dn, i decided to go with inzektors. Honestly, It was a good choice. There was not a lot of side-decked hate, and most of my losses were due to sacks/issues with my shuffling rather than anything else. I didn't expect to do as well as i did, but it was disappointing to get so close to topping and be shut out by my shit tiebreaks again. The regional was huge, like 600+ with like 400-500 more people who weren't allowed because the room was too small. I arrived at the event about 7:00 AM, which gave me plenty of time to chase down pieces of fluff like super rare armageddon knights. I got in line to register at about 8:30 AM, which meant that i was finally registered at about 11:30. Seriously. There were that many people. A bunch of people from locals, didn't get registered :(. Sorry guys. So round 1, really wasn't sure what to expect.
Round 1
Vs. Dark World
So this matchup is one of the reasons i decided to play this deck.
G1: I opened with Dragonfly Call of the Haunted and Armageddon knight. He didn't main skill drain, so i won.
G2: He made a first turn fabled raven into stardust play..... Ok sir? I used tgu to make acid golem and swing over it. He locked himself with reckless greed, and eventually wasted his last Dark world in hand with dealings trying to hit an out. He revealed to me his in-hand d.d. crow and Gates and scooped.
OO
1-0
Inzektor 1-0. Lol.
Round 2:
Vs. Windups
A mediocre matchup.
G1: I open up tour guide, which gets hit by effect veiler. I set a bottomless trap hole and solemn warning and end. He Summons Thunder king rai-oh, which gets hit by bottomless. I summon my in-hand inzektor hornet and xyz for leviair, Stealing his thunder king. He attempts to bottomless, and i chain forbidden lance. He takes both attacks directly, and on the thunder king, drops gorz, which i warning. He sets a monster and passes the turn. I summon armageddon knight and mill out zephyros. With a board of arma knight, thunder king, and leviair, i try to think of what he could possibly be playing. My first thought on the set monster is that its a snowman eater, but, i didnt think he was playing windups, the only deck that mains snowman eaters regularly. I decided to swing with tkro and what do you know? Snowman eater. It killed my thunder king. I passed turn back. on his turn, he summoned rabbit and activated factory. He banished the rabbit to search shark. lolok. On my turn, i detached from leviair to steal his rabbit, bounced back arma knight for zephyros, resummoned arma knight, overlayed for papilloperative and leviathan dragon to take game 1.
G2: He drew horribly, drawing three msts and 3 snowman eaters, which for some reason he didnt side out. He still almost had the game with a tkro, carrier and rabbit, but i topped hornet to go with my in-hand hopper, allowing me to swing over tkro and pop carrier m2, dropping him to exactly 1700 lp. He set his topped snowman eater with rabbit on board....... Allowing me to equip my other in grave hopper and attack for exact game.
OO
2-0
So 2-0 with inzektors having 2-0d two highly competitve meta decks.... As i jokingly remarked to a friend before this round, it was time for me to get 2-0d by rabbit.
Round 3:
Rabbit
G1: He opened 2 rabbit and 2 veiler. gg bro.
G2: He drew slightly worse this game, but not by a lot. He made a dolkka backed by a pair of lances that took down my gigamantis'd hornet and my bls. gg again bro.
XX
2-1
So yeah. Fun shit.
Round 4
T.G. Stun
G1: I drew and searched my combo pieces. He drew and searched, but didnt get skill drain. gg.
G2: See above.
OO
3-1
Round 5
Zombie Plants
G1: Stomped by my inzektor shenanigans when he drew no outs.
G2: BLS and reborn killed me.
G3: A long grind game, I finally managed to set up some inzektor shits and activate a d-fissure to make his foolish burial dead.
OXO
4-1
Round 6
Hero Beat
G1: Game loss. We both got deck checked. I was told to resleeve, and he was missing a d-prison from his deck.
G2: He opened heavy storm stratos and monster reborn. I died.
G3: He opened the same thing again.
OXX
4-2
Must be nice.
Round 7
Infernity
G1: He went off on turn 3, and because i had chosen to set sangan instead of summon thunder king, i lost.
G2: I prohibited his archfiend, he had a copy stuck in his hand, and that basically screwed him over.
Also, this guy was a lot of fun to play, and we made some jokes about him siding in prohibition to call prohibition. funny shit lol.
G3: A long ass grind game. He blew it open by dropping heavy storm to blow away my 5 backrow and his 4 and then summoned his last card in hand, an infernity mirage. I dropped my in-hand veiler, and he lost.
5-2
Round 8
Rabbit
G1: Armageddon knight, Call and dragonfly. Is nice.
G2: Macro rabbit and tour guide. Is also nice.
G3: Macro and vanillas killed me while i had no monsters.
OXX
He wasnt very good either :(
5-3
Round 9
No show
6-3
Round 10
Dragunity
G1: Bls, Zephyros and catastor otkd him
G2: Bls killed him again.
OO
He was very mad.
7-3
