We have VS tournaments in the US... but what about the UK?!
Since the bad organisation of the YGO nationals this year (I had to drop from the 32 nationals so I could catch the last train home, very de-moralizing :()
I've been put off YGO a bit.

It tooks ages for UDE to start up YGO over here, but how long for VS? I'm still a newb but I need the experience and I want to meet other VS players.

I'm pretty sure there is a PCQ in the UK scheduled, check the UDE website.

A PCQ here already :D What are the prizes like?

I have heard through another games site that the event was not well organized.

You HAD to play in the sealed to play in the constucted. Or at least that is what this player was led to believe.

I wouldn't say the Birmingham PCQ was badly organised. Yeah, you had to play sealed first, but that was made clear on the tournament entry details.

There is a PCQ this Saturday in London. Details can be found through the tournament locator on UDE's website.

I did attend. Because I was jammy with the cards I got, I finished first in the sealed deck, went on to the booster draft and ended up second in that.

I'd love to write a report but I just can't remeber enough detail to make a decent stab at one. You play all these funny cards in sealed / draft and all the games merge into one blur!

A summary would be:

In sealed I ended up with 6-drop Doom, Hulk, Thing TELBET, Apocalypse, Signal Flare, Common Enemy and Marvel Team Up so my deck was pretty nails and it went 4-0. The closest game was, amusingly, against the guy who had the packs that I opened. He had a similar deck but 7-drop Prof X instead of Thing and Unlikely Allies instead of Common Enemy. I'm not sure he had Doom either, so basically I had the advantage.

In draft I wound up with some X-Men, some Sentinels (!), Apocalypse and defensive stuff. The, err, strategy was to stall enough until I could get Apocalypse came out. It worked in a couple of games. I somehow managed to get through the semi-final only to lose 1-2 in the final against someone who clearly knew how to draft better than me. He had a Doom / FF Burn deck which was really quite good.

I only found out about the tournament last week but I should have posted the details on these boards. It completely slipped my mind; sorry 'bout that.

Sealed and draft is good for practise and lets you explore the game more. Its good to actually see a tournament running based on them. I cant wait until the next VS Tournament! Looking forward to playing!
