All it takes is that one locals game...
Hello all, I recently went to my locals after skipping a week of 2, and what felt like 2 weeks of hell malding over a bunch of things yugioh. I honestly felt i that burning passion I had after getting into the game has a few months ago has faded after hours and hours of what felt like hell playing the sims, (omega/MD) , unable to figure out what build I like for my Blitzclique (been between Angelechy, Ryzeal and Pure), and thanks to the sims, plethora and plethora of what felt like "non games", auto scoops to a normal summon starter, lingering flood gates (fking droll), for master duel (max c), 40 minute full combos on omega/edopro/MD.
Fast forward to last night and round 1 kinda started expected against a good player on sky striker as I tried a pure version of Blitzclique (41 cards now). While my op was a capital G- amer, not alot of banter but due to the nature of sky striker I felt like many plays were had on both fronts, while I wasn't to thrilled about my 1-2 loss to sky, at least I felt I played the game....
Round 2: started out winning the die roll, I do blitzclique things, ending on what seemed like ok of surge/whisker/emi set return stroke and breakaway. And then my opponent plays a card I never seen before except occasionally on Master duel...
LEGENDARY FIRE KING PONIX. Brother let me tell you, this was the single most fun as fuck game of yugioh I ever expierenced, My deck who wants to pop and destroy vs a deck that loves to be popped and destroyed. Jurrac Fire Kings. This had to be the single most back and force swingy games I've ever experienced in 4 months of playing this game, I managed to close it out with a solid game 3 at 10 seconds on the clock for round. It also helped my opponent was nice and talkative, but let me tell you, this game win or loss turned my dreadful outlook Ive been having and finish the night 3-1. I probably will focus on paper/IRL locals/regionals now when I can and stay away from the sims except the occasional MD event for the gems because in person is where I think yugioh thrives for me and on super excited to build and brew again (just literally ordered an s-force core)
