This will be a relatively brief recap of the event, but I was thoroughly thrilled to be able to give my Tour Guides a shot in Plants, despite the rules change.
Round 1 - Bye!
Round 2 - Fabled - 2-1
Fabled decks always prove to be quite stressful for me to face, as a strong first turn off the die roll is often unbeatable. Thankfully I manage to grind my way through to victory, simply through being patient and not letting my focus waver.
Round 3 - Psychics 2-0
A difficult match in which the opponent was always little more than a turn away from victory, but explosive synchro abuse remains as powerful as ever.
Round 4 - Agents 0-2
This is a matchup that I have no real idea on how to approach. Plants is a solid control deck in having access to a variety of Synchro and Xyz monsters for all sorts of situations...but once Kristya lands, there’s little I can do to turn the tide.
Conclusion - 3-1, 1st
Through colossal luck with tiebreakers, I managed to win the event, though I certainly don’t feel it was deserved. Though I feel I played solid games against my round 2 and 3 opponents, the bye feels unbelievably cheap and the total destruction by Agents in the final round makes me feel far less a winner than one should feel in this position.
Plants were quite an enjoyable deck to play, but my list was far from refined. Despite what many will say, the deck is far from dead, but as a player I need further practice and need to learn how to handle the latest powerhouse deck in the format, Agents.
