Xatoshi Non-Meta Tournament 08/18/24 Report
IGN: XarZuz
Placement: Champion
Deck: EE
Format: Duel Links, Best of 3, Single Deck / Elimination
Round 1: Lunalight ⭕⭕
Round 2: Blue-Eyes ⭕⭕
Round 3: Tachyon ⭕❌⭕
Game 2: Brick hand, drew almost all my one-offs and had no starter
Round 4: Blue-Eyes ❌⭕⭕
Game 1: Time limit loss despite being in a favorable position to win the first match, as my interruption setup was already in place. Unfortunately, I made a significant misplay with the Prison interaction that also miss the chance of finishing the game off already

Overall, I had a great time participating in the tournament and enjoyed playing with my favorite deck. I’d like to extend my thanks to sir Xatoshi for the PHP 100 prize for champion price. I also want to express my gratitude to all my fellow duelists for the fair and enjoyable matches.

Two years have passed, and almost my main deck choices remain the same 🙂

Finally filled my Duel Links last 5 seasons with KOG rank
I started playing Duel Links Ranked in March 2024 when my favorite deck got some new support. I aimed to reach the highest rank and was fortunate to achieve an overall win rate of 69% throughout the journey.

Rd 1: Bye ⭕⭕
No opponent
Rd 2: Lunalight ⭕⭕
My opponent summoned Leo Dancer, which is both untargetable and indestructible. In response and play around to it, I summoned Nightmare Shark to perform a direct attack for 2000 damage. In the next turn, when my opponent attempted to attack Nightmare Shark, I responded by bouncing Nightmare Shark. Following that, I summoned Nightmare Shark once again and attacked for game. The second game followed a similar pattern.
Rd 3: Raidraptor ⭕⭕
My opponent set up Evolzar Solda and two backrow cards, Chalice and Lance. I play around the board and was able broke their setup. In his turn, with my opponent lacking resources, was not able to recover. Turn 4 I proceeded to pop some of their cards and then attacked for game. In game 2, I went first, set up my field. Although my opponent forced me to use up two of my resources with minimal interaction, I initially thought I might lose. However, I managed to secure a lucky victory with the help of my field spell.
Finals: Dragonlink ❌⭕⭕
Game 1: I drew a lot of hand traps but no starter, so I managed to stall the game out. However, by turn 3, I still hadn't drawn into a starter, and forfeit
Game 2: My opponent assembled a strong board with Lancea, and at that point, I felt like I would only secure second place. Miraculously, I was able to play around their board and break some of it, then setup my own. Then, my opponent seemed to disconnect, resulting in a time limit win for me.
Game 3: I had the opportunity to go first this time and set up my usual board. I had Crow this time, but unfortunately, I misplayed badly by not recognizing that Borrel skill could extend their plays effortlessly with my Crow interaction. Despite my misplays, I was fortunate enough to secure the win and claim the champion placement.
