Yep. I'm not dead. Its been awhile since i've had anything to report here, but today I went to locals with inzektors. There were 21 people.
R1: Dark World
An easy matchup...... So I thought
G1: Turn 2 Dropped Card Destruction showed me goldd double snoww and grapha. As you may have guessed, I lost this one.
G2: Decree and Inzektors tromped all over skill drain.
G3: Opens Ko'aki meiru doom, Set 3 backrow. I'm like..... Dafuq? I duality into zektcaliber and summon centipede equip it, and attack. She flips dimensional prison and I do a double take. First thing is D-prison in dark world??????? Second thing is not siding out d-prison for inzektor. So i take the minus one and proceed to not draw monsters for 5 turns, so I get poked to death by janky dark world shit and I'm salty and mad etc.
XOX
0-1
So now since this is a sunday tourny I'm basically playing for a shot at a Hobby League.
R2: Yugilo.dek
It was some kinda atlantean thing with a lot of monsters. Yugilo probably has it on his channel that i'm too lazy to link.
G1: The Inzektors nut and i win quickly.
G2: Double Thunder king and veiler carries me through 2 diva drops and his in-hand crow and veiler.
OO
1-1
R3: Blackwings
G1: I managed to take control and quickly win
G2: I open up with little-no monsters and get destroyed by his zephyros + backrow.
G3: It drags out until I can play around his 2 in-hand crows and just win.
OXO
R4: Wind-ups
So yeah, I was pretty interested to see how my side etc. would work
G1: I open 2 Ladybugs and DAD. I almost make a comeback with mystic tomato, but he has the warning for exact game.
G2: I open thunder king, which he soul takers and reborns. I card trooper and crash with it. Setting call. I gain advantage through floaters and inzektor him to death once he's out of cards.
G3: I get a lot of sides and i end up holding gozen match and veiler so I can push to the board without fear of him pushing back
XOO
So the 4 dedicated side cards definitely put in work. I also loved my mained tkro's in the deck, as they slowed down tempo a lot and gave me time to set up my plays. This ended up being the last round, so i finished up 3-1 and got a Hobby League Giant Rat. Yay!
After further testing with inzektors, it feels like i should be running 3 thunder king and 3 tomato mained. The ability to have cards stand alone is absolutely vital for the deck, especially when i open with just centipede or ladybug.
Until next time - Tsgreen!
