I went to Suntec today for another monthly VS PCQ. I was still feeling a little ill, but I didn't want to waste my entire week at home. The Golden Age format was back and I would've liked to join it if I was feeling better.
Every time I reach the tournament room, the first thing I'd do is go check the standings for both Sealed and Constructed to see if I can spot any familiar names. Out of those whom I know, only Jeffrey, David (Office Guy) and WaiLeong (Policeman) had joined Constructed.
I was curious to see if the new and highly controversial 'Light Show' deck would make an appearance here. Indeed it has, and it was rather a sight for sore eyes. No infinite combo should exist in any TCG (well, except maybe Type I M:TG); I hope Upperdeck will deal with the cards/combo soon in the next errata update. The top 8 consisted of 2 Light Show decks, 4 Curve Sentinels (Jeffrey, David, Yap), 1 Mono Gotham Knights and 1 Brotherhood/Assassins (Noel Neo). That lucky Jeffrey top-eights every time and this time he gets an EA Overload. On a side-note, I felt that the Light Show players were both very very arrogant and somewhat bitchy. In the quarterfinals, Noel and Jeffrey each had to play against one Light Show opponent and I think they were deliberately causing trouble for the two morons by calling the judge every few minutes.
Anyway, because of the Light Show deck, I was able to witness a lot of funny tech cards in everyone's decks. This was the first time I have seen so many Have-A-Blasts across several tables.
I didn't stick around to the end to see who won.
Incidentally, I was highly anticipating the results of the Syndney 10k. I was hoping that the Light Show deck would get 1st place, and it did. Because if more Light Show decks get 1st place, then it would prove that they are indeed a threat, then Upperdeck would be more inclined to fix this 'bug'.
