September 25th, 2010, Round 3


Round 3: Vince (Lightsworn) VS Adib (Blackwings)


Adib has won the opening roll and will be going first.

Adib starts off with setting one monster and three cards in his spell and trap zone.

Vince summons Shire, Lightsworn Spirit and ends his turn, sending Beckoning Light and Trap Stun from the top of his deck to the graveyard.

Adib flip summons Vayu, the Emblem of Honor, and activating Book of Moon; targeting Shire. Unfortunately, Adib only remembered its defense points after resolving the Book of Moon, Adib could only set one spell or trap card and passed his turn.

Vince flips his Shire and summons Aurkus, Lightsworn Druid. Vince chose not to attack again this turn. He sent Celestia, Lightsworn Angel; and Ryko, Lightsworn Hunter to the graveyard from Shire’s effect, and Monster Reborn, and Torrential Tribute for Aurkus’s effect.

Adib activated Dark Hole. He summons Blackwing – Shura the Blue Flame and attack directly.

With that Dark Hole play, Vince had exactly enough Lighsworn monsters in the graveyard in order to special summoned Judgment Dragon! Unfortunately, Adib saw this coming and activated Solemn Warning; paying 2000 life points, to negate the Dragon’s summon. He then summons Garoth, Lightsworn Warrior; which was lost to Adib’s Bottomless Trap Hole. With no more moves and an empty field, Vince ends his turn.

Adib makes another successful direct attack with Shura. He sets one spell or trap card and ends his turn.

Vince activates his Dark Hole to destroy Shura. He summons Lyla, Lightsworn Sorceress and successfully lands a direct attack. In his second main phase, Vince activates Lyla's effect and destroys Adib's set Mystical Space Typhoon. Afterwards, he ends his turn and sent Honest, Jain, Lightsworn Paladin; and Archlord Kristya to the graveyard.

Adib summons Blackwing - Kalut the Moon Shadow and attacks the defense position Lyla and ends his turn.

Vince special summons his second Judgment Dragon and activates its effect; paying 1000 life points to destroy the field, except itself. Adib chained Book of Moon; targeting Judgment Dragon. Vince ends his turn with the facedown Judgment Dragon.

The score was Adib; leading at 4300 to Vince’s 3400.

Adib, without any cards in hand and field, draws Allure of Darkness; he decided to take a gamble. He drew two cards; looks like Lady Luck was with him on this one, as he removes Bora from the game and sets the second card drawn and ends his turn.

Vince activated Solar Recharge, discarding Wulf for the cost. He drew two cards from his deck, and he sent Trap Stun and another Solar Recharge from his deck to the graveyard. Afterwards, Vince flips up his Judgment Dragon and activates its effect again on Adib's one facedown card and successfully attacks directly. Vince sent the top four cards from his deck to the graveyard.

Adib top decked Blackwing - Blizzard the Far North and immediately concedes. Vince takes Game 1 and both players grab their side deck.


Adib decides to go first for the second game as well. He starts off by summoning Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind and set one spell or trap card.

Vince drew a starting hand of two copies of Solar Recharge, Celestia, Lightsworn Angel; Garoth, Lightsworn Warrior; Shire, Lightsworn Spirit and Honest.

Vince activates Solar Recharge and discards Garoth for cost. After drawing two, he sent Monster Reborn and Plaguespreader Zombie from his deck to the graveyard. Afterwards, he activates his second Solar Recharge and discards Celestia. This time he sent Ehren, Lightsworn Monk and Ryko, Lightsworn Hunter. Vince activates Pot of Duality; revealing Consecrated Light, Beckoning Light, and Honest, Vince added Consecrated Light to his hand and shuffled the others back into the deck. He activates Dark Hole to destroy Gale, then summoned Consecrated Light, and set one spell or trap to end his turn.

Adib could only set one monster and ends his turn.

Vince summons Shire, Lightsworn Spirit; its attack is 1600 due to its effect, and attacks into a facedown Blackwing – Sirocco the Dawn. Vince ends his turn, sending Royal Decree and Honest to his graveyard for Shire’s effect.

Adib, still having no answer to deal with the Consecrated Light, sets another monster and another spell or trap card before ending his turn.

Vince attacks the facedown monster with Shire, but Adib flipped Icarus Attack; tributes his set Blackwing - Kalut the Moon Shadow; as cost, he destroys both Vince's Shire and Consecrated Light. Vince sets one spell or trap card and activated his set Beckoning Light, discarding 3 cards. Vince returns Consecrated Light, Honest, and Ehren into his hand. He summons Consecrated Light once again and ends his turn.

Adib, currently with 4 cards in his hand, and one card set, activates his set Giant Trunade. Vince sent back his spell and trap cards. Afterwards, Adib activates Monster Reborn on to special summon Vince's Celestia, Lightsworn Angel; and attacks Consecrated Light. Then, he summons Blackwing  - Blizzard the Far North, and special summons Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind from his graveyard. He tuned Gale with Celestia to synchro summon Stardust Dragon. Adib, then special summons Dark Armed Dragon onto the field, end his turn with only Blackwing - Kalut the Moon Shadow in his hand and no targets for the Dark Armed Dragon on Vince’s field.

Vince draws to 4 cards in hand; consisting of Royal Decree, Ehren, Lightsworn Monk; Beckoning Light, and Honest. He summons Ehren and attacks Dark Armed Dragon, activating Honest in the damage step; by sending it to the graveyard, and destroys it. Vince sets the Beckoning Light and ends his turn.

Adib drew Starlight Road. Adib declares an attack on Ehren with Stardust Dragon. Vince responds by activating Beckoning Light to discard his Royal Decree to return Honest into his hand. During the damage step, Vince again sends Honest to the graveyard to destroy Stardust Dragon. Adib declared an attack on Ehren with Blizzard; unaware with how long did Honest’s effect last; which was until end of turn. Adib continued the attack with Blizzard, sending Kalut to the graveyard during the damage step. However, Ehren remained at 4100 ATK and Blizzard now at 2700 ATK was destroyed. (Vince: 5700 / Adib: 3400). Adib sets his Starlight Road and ends his turn.

Ehren made a direct attack. Vince ended, sending Aurkus, Lightsworn Druid; Monster Reincarnation, and Judgment Dragon.

Adib drew Blackwing - Shura the Blue Flame and immediately summons it. He attacked Ehren with Shura and activated its effect; special summoning Blackwing – Vayu the Emblem of Honor, from his deck. Vayu attacks directly. In Main Phase 2, Vayu; with its effect negated, thanks to Shura, was tuned to Shura to synchro summon Magical Android. Adib ended his turn and gained 600 LP at the end phase.

The score was Vince leading at 4700and Adib at 2400.

Vince draws to two cards in his hand. He summons Lyla, Lightsworn Sorceress; and activated its effect to destroy Adib's set Starlight Road, Lyla went to defense mode. He activated Plaguespreader Zombie’s effect by returning his last card in hand to the top of his deck to special summon Plaguespreader Zombie from his graveyard. The zombie was tuned to Lyla to synchro summon Goyo Guardian and attacks Adib's Magical Android. Vince then activates Goyo Guardian's effect to special summon the Magical Android in defense mode afterwards and gains 600 LP at the end phase of his turn.

After drawing his next card, Adib concedes.

Adib showed a strong opening during game one; only to run out of steam during the middle to lose his follow-up play, leaving Vince to draw answers from his deck and devastated Adib with Judgment Dragon. Vince’s early play of summoning Consecrated Light held down Adib’s first few turns. Adib showed a misplay of summoning Dark Armed Dragon early, when it was completely unnecessary, possibly fearing another Consecrated Light, cost him an answer. Following that, Adib’s miscalculation of Honest’s effect has sealed his defeat. Vince wins the match 2-0.
