Top 64 Feature Match: Ricardo Lora Zavala vs. Angel Zayren Flores Covarrubias

June 25th, 2017

We just saw Ricardo Lora Zavala take a quick 2-0 victory with his Dinosaur Deck in our Round 10 Feature Match, and that earned him 8th place at the end of the Swiss Rounds and a spot in the Top 64. Now, he’s paired up against three-time YCS winner Angel Zayren Flores Covarrubias in this first elimination round. It’s time to Duel!

Duel One

 

Flores started off Duel 1 by Normal Summoning Zoodiac Ramram.

 

Flores

He upgraded it into Zoodiac Hammerkong and then Zoodiac Broadbull, and activated Broadbull’s effect. Lora discarded Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit to destroy Broadbull, and then Broadbull’s effect added a Zoodiac Ratpier from Flores’s Deck to his hand. Flores passed his turn with an empty field.

 

Lora drew a card and then was left with Souleating Oviraptor, Petiteranodon, Fossil Dig, True King Agnimazud, the Vanisher, and Twin Twisters. He activated Fossil Dig, but lost out to Flores’s Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring. Next, Lora Summoned the Oviraptor and used its effect to add Miscellaneousaurus to his hand. He then destroyed Miscellaneousaurus and Petiteranodon from his hand to Special Summon Agnimazud from his hand, and used the effect of Petiteranodon to Special Summon Miscellaneousaurus from his Deck. He banished a Miscellaneousaurus from his Graveyard to Special Summon Jurrac Aeolo to his field, and then Tuned Jurrac Aeolo with Miscelleaneousaurus to Synchro Summon Hi-Speedroid Chanbara. Two attacks from Chanbara, plus attacks from Agnimazud and Oviraptor wiped away all 8000 of Flores’s Life Points!

Duel Two

 

Flores started off Duel 2 by Summoning Baobaboon. He activated its effect to draw a card and put a card on the bottom of his Deck. Next, Flores activated Zoodiac Barrage, and activated its effect to try to destroy Baobaboon. Lora discarded Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring from his hand to negate the effect. Next, Flores activated Fire Formation – Tenki to add a copy of Zoodiac Ratpier to his hand. He Set a card to his back row before passing.

 

Lora drew a card and then held Interrupted Kaiju Slumber, Dark Hole, Fossil Dig, True King Agnimazud, the Vanisher, and Terraforming in his hand. He activated Terraforming first, and Flores flipped Imperial Order to negate it! Completely devastated by Imperial Order, Lora ended his turn.

 

Flores drew a card and then paid 700 Life Points to keep Imperial Order. He Summoned Ratpier and used its effect to send Ramram to the Graveyard. He upgraded Ratpier into Boarbow, and then Boarbow into Broadbull. He used Broadbull’s effect to add Zoodiac Whiptail to his hand, and then upgraded Broadbull into Zoodiac Chakanine. He used Chakanine’s effect to Special Summon Ramram from his Graveyard and then Special Summoned a Ratpier from his Deck by detaching a Ratpier from Chakanine. He Xyz Summoned Hammerkong over Chakanine and then Drident over Hammerkong. He destroyed Ramram with Drident to Special Summon a Ratpier from his Graveyard and then combined both Ratpiers to Xyz Summon Abyss Dweller! He attacked with his monsters and ended his turn.
