Gearcity midgame6/19/2023 you can't blame it though, it looked safe and I just wanted to be able to eat 100% of the food on my plate no problem. Jarel orders curry and rice, so does Tyler and so do I. It takes Tyler about half an hour to figure out how to exchange and get some yen but after that Jarel shows us the food court. I had completely forgotten about how big the time difference was and all I wanted to do was eat. We even get free tickets for $30 breakfast buffets every morning! To my surprise it was already Thursday night. Frank Debrito, Jarel and Rob are waiting for us and we get all the information we need to know for the next day. ![]() I again get no sleep but the ride goes by relatively fast and before I know it I'm staring at this huge hotel. But alas it didn't last long as we soon found out our bus ride to the Shinagawa Prince Hotel would take close to 2 hours. Walking outside felt absolutely incredible after being cramped up for so long. Disgusting, right? After 12 hours of The Hangover I and II, Daniel Tosh, Big Bang Theory, getting slapped by an elderly Asian woman and a couple hours of sleep our plane finally makes it to Japan.Īfter a while of going through customs and getting lost we find someone holding up a sign that reads "Yu-Gi-Oh World Championship Competitors" and we get our bus tickets. I only get to finish half my sandwich and stuff the rest in a section of my bag where it ended up staying the whole trip. We formally meet Tyler's dad while we're waiting in line and realize that he's super chill. I decide to get some Subway before our 12 hour flight and apparently while I was gone Sean smashed Tyler with a more conventional build, giving me a few more things to think about on the plane. Can you guess what we did next? Pulled out our decks of course! Tyler and I played some mirrors and realize how incredibly dumb our deck's mirror is. Finally we see him riding in one of those airport carts that handicap people use, in a T-shirt and pajamas. I start my trek and after about 20 minutes of walking and catching trans I hear a familiar voice yell "Mike!" and I look over to see none other than Sean! We exchanged pleasantries and talked about life, work and of course Yugioh, waiting for Tyler to find us. I arrived in Minneapolis and quickly find out that my gate is on the opposite side of the huge airport. ![]() Everything goes smoothly and hey, I even met this interesting old man who had already visited Japan twice in his lifetime. I got no sleep and drove an hour and a half to the airport where I'd be flying out of to Minneapolis. ![]() It was an interesting concept and one I was willing to try. It also let you deal 5700 damage as early as the 2nd turn and that's if you didn't have another monster in hand. Forcing a Spy through a Warning let you get your Spy effect and swing tempo while getting that +1 to even out with their draw off Dark Bribe. ![]() This build also elected to run Dark Bribe over Starlight Road, for a lot of reasons other than being able to stop MST. He showed me his build and eventually we tweaked it, dropping the 3 copies of Upstart Goblin for more traps, while even considering bumping Wonder Wand up to 3. Against Dragons it was an auto-win, and even against Inzektor it was incredible. A deck similar to Nicky Lacaille's GK deck from YCS Providence 2011 that just turbo'd to Royal Tribute. I show him my standard GK build and he proposes a deck idea to me. My crazy weekend started on Tuesday night (or Wednesday morning) as I'm testing with my friend Bobby Barone.
