VS ![102500.jpg]()
It's the final Round of Swiss here at DNYCS Worlds London. Auke1993 has a score of 1-2 after 3 Rounds. His only win came in Round 3, which was a bye. After having lose all 4 Rounds of Swiss during last year's DNYCS Worlds, Auke is desperately looking for his first 'regular' victory.
Standing in his way is TRA2700. TRA has a score of 2-1 after 3 Rounds, and needs to win to have a chance of reaching the Top 4.
Interestingly, both duelists are using Kozmo, a deck that many believe to be the strongest deck this format. Which of these two Kozmo decks will triumph? Let's find out!
Auke1993 uses his regular scissors, wins Rock-Paper-Scissors, and chooses to go 2nd.
Game 1
TRA2700 starts off the duel with an Upstart Goblin, allowing them to draw 1 card, while giving Auke 1000 free Life Points. (Auke1993 8000-->9000) TRA activates Reasoning. Auke believes his opponent is using Infernoid, as Reasoning is a commonly seen card in Infernoid decks. Recalling that Infernoid Decatron is a Level 1 monster, Auke declares Level 1. TRA excavates Galaxy Cyclone, Vanity's Emptiness, Emergency Teleport and Kozmo Strawman. With Strawman being a Level 2, it is Special Summoned to TRA's field. TRA follows up with 1 Set card, to then end their turn.
Auke's first move sees him activating the Field Spell Kozmotown. Auke Sets 1 monster along with 1 Spell/Trap card. They end their turn.
TRA Normal Summons Kozmoll Wickedwitch. Wickedwitch attacks and destroys Auke's Set monster, which is revealed to be Kozmo Strawman. TRA banishes Kozmo Strawman to Summon a new Kozmo. To Auke's surprise, it's not a spaceship. It's Kozmo Farmgirl! Farmgirl attacks directly. (Auke1993 9000-->7500) Kozmo Farmgirl's effect is activated, adding Kozmo Sliprider to TRA's hand. (TRA2700 8000-->7500) Farmgirl's other effect is activated. Auke stops it with Solemn Warning. (Auke1993 7500-->5500)
Knowing Wickedwitch can still Summon Sliprider, Auke feels they are in a bad position. But things are about to get even worse for him...
TRA is not done Summoning cards yet! They activate Emergency Teleport from their hand, summoning a 2nd Kozmo Farmgirl! This new Farmgirl also attacks directly, dealing another 1500 points of damage. (Auke1993 5500-->4000) Farmgirl's effect adds Kozmo Dark Destroyer to TRA's hand. (TRA2700 7500-->7000) Farmgirl's other effect Summons Dark Destroyer. Surprisingly, it activates its effect... on itself! By destroying itself, TRA allowed themselves to Summon a Kozmo Goodwitch from the deck, which immediately attacks directly. (Auke1993 4000-->2200) Goodwitch's effect Summons the expected Sliprider, which attacks Auke directly for the final time during this game. (Auke1993 2200-->0)
And just like that, TRA2700 takes the first game with a dominant OTK. They are well on their way to win this match, and maybe even to reaching the Top Cut. (Auke1993 0 - 1 TRA 2700)
Both players side, and resume the game. Auke chooses to go 1st.
Game 2
Auke starts the 2nd game by Normal Summoning Kozmoll Wickedwitch, followed by an activation of Kozmotown. He Sets 1 Spell/Trap card, and ands their turn.
TRA starts off their game 2 with a Galaxy Cyclone, targeting Auke's Set card. Auke exclaims: "MST NEGATES" He activates his Set Mystical Space Typhoon to destroy Galaxy Cyclone.
Unfortunately for Auke, MST does not negate. Mystical Space Typhoon is still destroyed.
TRA Normal Summons Kozmo Farmgirl. After two cards are Set, TRA ends their turn.
Auke activates Emergency Teleport, Special Summoning Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit from his deck. In response to this Summon TRA banishes their Farmgirl. Auke chains his Maxx "C". Farmgirl's effect Summons Kozmo Dark Destroyer, which destroys Ghost Ogre with its effect. Not being able to perform his planned Synchro Summon, Auke activates the 2nd effect of Kozmotown. This shuffles Kozmo Goodwitch back into Auke's deck, allowing him to draw 1 new card.
At this moment, Auke does not know what to do. He takes a while to go over his options, but cannot come up with anything good. Does this mean the end for him? Is there no way for him to beat TRA? If he wants to get that first DNYCS Worlds victory, he'd better make a good move, and quick!
Auke switches Kozmoll Wickedwitch into DEF position, and ends their turn.
TRA activates their own copy of Kozmotown, adding Farmgirl back to their hand. (TRA2700 8000-->7700) Kozmotown's 2nd effect is activated, shuffling Farmgirl back to the deck alongside Kozmo Forerunner, allowing TRA to draw 2 new cards. Dark Destroyer attacks Auke's Wickedwitch. Auke activates Wickedwitch's effect, paying 1000 Life Points to allow Wickedwitch to survive the battle. (Auke1993 8000-->7000) TRA ends their turn.
Auke activates the 2nd effect of Kozmotown once again, shuffling back Dark Destroyer and Farmgirl. Auke activates Wickedwitch's effect, Special Summoning a Dark Destroyer. TRA responds with Time-Space Trap Hole. (TRA2700 7700-->6700) Auke does not have any other moves, so he ends his turn.
TRA activates Kozmotown's 2nd effect, shuffling Kozmo DOG Fighter into their deck. They then activate the effect of the Galaxy Cyclone sitting in their Graveyard. By banishing it, they take out their own Kozmotown! Kozmotown's effect activates, adding Kozmo Farmgirl to TRA's hand, which is immediately Normal Summoned. Dark Destroyer attacks directly. (Auke1993 7000-->4000) Farmgirl attacks directly, but Auke response by activating the effect of Juragedo, Summoning it to the field, and gaining 1000 Life Points. (Auke1993 4000-->5000) Farmgirl activates its effect, Summoning a 2nd Dark Destroyer from the hand. Its effect is activated, destroying the 1st Dark Destroyer, which in turn Summons Kozmoll Wickedwitch with its effect.
For a while now, Auke's been holding an Artifact Lancea in their hand. He had reasons to not use it before, but could've used it in response to Dark Destroyer's effect here to prevent a Summon. Whether it was fatigue, or the fact he was too focused on the narration of the duel, that is not known.
The new Dark Destroyer attacks Juragedo. (Auke1993 5000-->3700) Wickedwitch follows up with a direct attack. (Auke1993 3700-->1800) Wickedwitch's effect is activated.
Is this it? Is the match over?
Wickedwitch's effect Summons Kozmo Sliprider. Sliprider attacks directly. (Auke1993 1800-->0)
That's it! With another dominant game, it's TRA2700 who takes home the victory! (Auke1993 0 - 2 TRA2700)
It's TRA2700 who takes their Kozmo deck to a 2-0 victory, making them end Swiss with a 3-1 score. It's now up to Tiebreakers to see whether or not they will reach the Top 4. It all depends on the outcomes of other matches that have yet to be played. Once all results of Round 4 are in, a spoiler will be placed below this message revealing whether TRA made it to the Top 4 or not.
