Well after not playing last week because of the Super Bowl, I'm ready to play some Raw Deal. So only 7 people this time but we'll do. Prize is picks for the tourney kit.
Superstars:
x1 Hulk Hogan TB
x1 Junkyard Dog
x1 The Game
x1 Eugene
x1 Rikishi
x1 Billy Gunn
x1 Highlite Of The Night
I go with Highlite because hes just really underratted and I really see him becoming a top tier deck.
Round 1 - Highlite Of The Night Vs. Billy Gunn
Well I start off by dropping Highlite Reel which he takes 15 from. I then go I'm Better Than You, Hell In A Cell, Summerslam, & Inferno Match. We start the game and I get an early lead by hitting a front chancery. From there it went the way I wanted it. His deck was annoying because he just played Slingshots and Weelbarrow Slams which could only be reversed from my hand, and I didn't have any reversals. But after hitting so much stuff, he overturned alot of cards for Inferno Match. He also had Rochester out but he couldn't use it because of Cell, but he could rock back one from his hand. So then I throw a Blindside Choke but it gets Underminded. I'm like "crap"... I only have a 5f card and then I wait. I throw a DLB and it gets reversed as the last card in his deck, I'm not gonna take the CO so I decline. His go he Rochesters and rocks back a reversal for my next DLB. I throw a DLB and it gets reversed on the last. My last DLB is left but luckily I draw a Dirty Taker and make him get his last card or lose. He gets it and I DLB him for the win. Phew...
Result: Pin Win 1 - 0
Round 2 - Highlite Of The Night Vs. Eugene
Well this deck is weird. He drops Managed By Vince which I was fearing, I could've played Managed By Easy E but I didn't expect him to use Vince. So he Chimmels me twice which gives me a -2. He mainly overturns like half his deck during the pre-match phase due to Highlite Reel & Inferno Match, which gives me a early advantage. He goes first and he plays Beatings From D-Ville... Crap... Well after that he pretty much pummeled me with crazy maneuvers with me not having anything to reverse with. He wins with the Taker Care Of Business...
Result: Pin Loss 1 - 1
Round 3 - Highlite Of The Night Vs. Hulk Hogan TB
Well its his heat deck which he basically just switched the Superstar card and added the new RR foils. Well we start off slowly, he uses Whatcha Gonnna Do into a Hogan Patented Punch, which I restricted Use into Elbow/StepAside. I throw a Grapple and he Vince/Rakes me. He throws a Irreversible Snap Neckbreaker which I take. My turn and get some fortitude off of Dirty Low Blowx2. His go he throws stuff which I Chain Heat. My go I play "Don't You Wish You Were Me" into a Spinning Toe Hold which he eats for 8. Now I have reversals in my hand and its looking good. My turn and I throw a Lariat Takedown which gets Step'd and Eye Rake'd. His turn and he throws the Double Underhook Powerbomb card which I eat. Well stuff happens and he does a mistake. He plays Leave Me Alone and then plays a action as his first card. He discards his hand and then its my turn. I hit a blindside choke and then I get some fortitude off of that. Late game I hit a Blindside Slam and it gets reversed as the last card, and me not wanting to sit through a Wrestlemania take the countout.
Result: Count Out Win 2 - 1
Top Cut:
1st: Eugene
2nd: The Game
3rd: Rikishi
4th: Highlite
Semi-Finals: Highlite of The Night Vs. Eugene
Well I don't let him get Managed By Vince so I use Easy E. Game goes kinda slow with him getting fortitude off of Chops which I oversell twice. I get fortitude and late game hit him with the Breakdown, then next turn he pins himself while reversing my maneuver via Inferno Match.
Result: Pin Win 3 - 1
Finals: Highlite of The Night Vs. The Game
Well this game is gonna be weird. Hes a SD game, and he drops Cerebral Spray, US Title which gets Old Schooled and Break You. I drop 7 Pre-Matches. So he breaks my ugly hand for 4 cards. His deck basicly goes This Is Just The Beginning x6 and then Sprays his Maneuvers. So my ability slows him down. He goes first and he plays a TIJTB, I take it and he passes. My Go I drop a DLB and pass. His go he throws another TIJTB and passes. My go I pass. His turn he throws another TIJTB and passes. My turn I throw another DLB and pass. This continues untill he has 5 of the TIJTB and I have 6f from x3 DLBs. Now he throws a ABBD with Spray but Luckily I have a Dont You Eveeeeerrrr.... My turn I drop a Few Heel Men and get rid of x2 Revolution of the minds, luckily I overturn a Blindside Choke with Inferno Match, and I throw the Choke and its good. His go and he throws another ABBD with Spray, I reverse with Superior. My go and I search for another Blindside Choke which I play. So now Im in controla nd he throws a Thats Broken which I reverse with Springboard Dropkick TB and that leaves him with 3 cards in his deck, in which he quits.
Result: Pin Win 4 - 1
Well I win the 1st Royal Rumble Legal tournament for us down here in Burbank. Highlite is such a solid deck to play and I really think its gonna become a top tier deck soon. Well I get 1st choice and I get a Jimmy Hart and $2 dollars store credit. I buy 24 used binder sleeves for my cards for the 2 dollars and go home a happy man. Well, till' next time I win, Thanks for reading!
