Match 1

X-Saber vs. Psychics 2:0 - 0/10 points

Performance: 9/20 points

First duel: You had a nice start to the game with the overdrive teleporter but you've lost the control after you attacked my emmersblade. I searched for Pashuul and you knew I had mind control in hand from the duality - so I think at that point you should've used the smashing instead of saving it for later. The other mistake in that duel was setting the morphing jar when I had Fulhemknight on the field - maybe you've missed its special summon effect - but that meant game for me.

Second duel: The duel started slowly at first - then you went for the synchro play. In hind sight - I think you should have summoned magical android and not catastor as you run miracle synchro fusion in your deck. Another mistake in this duel was attacking my face up emmersblade - that just gave me a free search of dark soul. You should have attacked fulhemknight - at least making me use its block attack effect. On the plus side - you've learned from the earlier duel and used smashing on Pashuul this time.

I saw that you didn't use any side deck vs. me - not sure if it's because you had no side deck ready - or just no suitable cards there for you.


Deck: 11/20 points

Your deck has some cards that are sub-par in my opinion. For example you can drop the Mental Seekers and add some more useful cards to the deck. Try to find cards that can get you more advantage when played or destroyed. Mental Seeker isn't doing any of the above. I think you could use more traps there to help you defend against big plays by opponents.

Match 2

Wind-Up vs. (chaos) Black Wing 2:0 - 0/10 points

Performance: 12/20

First duel: This duel was quite the ride. You had the Gorz after my heavy storm to potentially give you control back - but then you attacked into my back row and remained without options. (Maybe reutrning Gorz to hand with Zephyros and waiting one turn with the Icarus would've been better) At any rate you managed to get the control back with that Icarus later but sadly you've made the mistake of using Black Corn vs. my rabbit and it cost you a crucial turn which I took advantage of. That's a shame - cause you could really have won that one.

Second duel: Here you've lost a lot of LP early - again Gorz saved the day for you. When I summoned the Tragoedia I think you should've used mind control on it and Synchro it with Blizzard - but you've opted to save the mind control. The torrential tribute stopped me from going for game but I still had the control. On the last play you correctly summoned Blizzard and set the Icarus but unfortunately for you, I had an answer to you playing Icarus and also if you didn't play the Icarus I had the answer ready. I think since you held Kalut you shouldn't have activated the Icarus in response to my XYZ summon.

Side deck - again as above I didn't notice any side decking. That's really something you should work on - side deck is a very important part of a match.


Deck: 15/20

The deck build is OK - you opted for the TKR + Veiler + BLS type of deck. I believe you should find a place for 2 Sirocco and 1 Vaiu which will also give you an extra card to summmon with Shura and can help with controlling the number of dark monsters in the grave.
