Jordan drew Reckless Greed for the turn and then activated his on field Reckless Greed. He drew Pot of Duality and Just Deserts. He activated Pot of Duality to reveal another Duality, Ceasefire and Cardcar D. Jordan took a moment to run some calculations before deciding which card to take as it could mean the difference between moving onto the next round or ending his run right here. He chose the Cardcar D and added it to his hand. After shuffling his deck he then set 2 before using Cardcar D’s effect to draw 2 cards. Endphase MST shot out and killed Reckless Greed. Patrick then used his own Reckless Greed to draw 2 new cards. Jordan ended his turn.

Patrick then played another Dragon Ravine over his current one and then set a card to use with Scrap Dragon’s effect. Scrap Dragon targeted the set Terraforming and Secret Barrel. Jordan chained Secret Barrel, then Just Deserts and then Chain Strike for a total of 4500 damage. Patrick thought for a moment, he needed to make the absolute right play right here. He eventually decided to declare an attack with Dux, only to be stopped by Battle Fader. He then syncro summoned Phalanx and Dux into Vajrayana and then into Stardust Dragon. He then banished 2 Dux for Tempest and 1 Blaster and Vaj for Blaster before overlaying them into Dracossack.

(Patrick 2500, Jordan 3400)
Jordan couldn’t draw due to Reckless so he played Duality and revealed Wattgiraffe, One Day of Peace and Just Deserts. He took One Day of Peace and played Wattcobra to attack for 1000 damage. He added Wattgiraffe to hand and played One Day of Peace to draw into Secret Barrel. He passed his turn to Patrick.
(Patrick 1500, Jordan 3400)
Patrick couldn’t draw because of his own Reckless Greed so he started by banishing Red-Eyes and Tempest for Redox. This let him add Tempest to his hand which he discarded for Ravine to add a Dux. He normal Summoned Dux and went into Vajrayana into Thought Ruler Archfiend. He then banished Vajrayana and Phalanx for Blaster and attacked Wattcobra to gain 1000 lifepoints. He then made Dracossack and tributed it to destroy itself and Stardust Draogon and passed to Jordan.
(Patrick 2500, Jordan 3400)
“I think that Thought Ruler might be the difference in this” Jordan mused.
Jordan still couldn’t draw but he played Wattgiraffe and set Secret Barrel and attacked for 1200 damage. He passed
(Patrick 1300, Jordan 3400)
Patrick then drew, at 1300 lifepoints and immediately used Scrap Dragon to try and destroy Dragon Ravine and Wattgiraffe, but Jordan chained Secret Barrel to deal 1000 damage! But Jordan conceded defeat because the Thought Ruler pushed Patrick’s lifepoints up high enough to seal the game
(Patrick 300, Jordan 0)
Patrick Hoban takes the game and is able to go on to the finals to playoff for the $1,500 prize with a total record of X-1-1!
==================ADDENDUM==================
Immediately after this round ended it was brought to our attention that in Game 3, the damage from Secret Barrel was calculated incorrectly. The chain was made as follows:
Scrap Dragon (Targeting Patrick's Set Reckless and Jordan's Secret Barrel) as Chain Link 1 and then Reckless Greed and Secret Barrel were both activated. How this chain would HAVE to form is Secret Barrel as Chain Link 2 and then Reckless Greed as Chain Link 3. This would resolve backwards and give Patrick a total of 7 Cards on the field and in hand and dealing 1400 damage instead of 1000. At the end of the game, Jordan lost with Patrick only being at 300 life points. The extra 400 damage obviously would have made an impact on the outcome of the game in many ways, turns would have been played differently and there may have been different decisions. In Patrick's final hand he did have MST so if he was down by 400 additional life points he would have used the MST on the Chain to destroy one of his cards to keep the damage down and still won the duel. Either way we admit that we at ARG missed this Lifepoint calculation as well as the players. We are sorry that this damage was calculated incorrectly. We standby the match slip that was turned in stating that Patrick was the Winner and Jordan conceded defeat and would play off for 3rd/4th.
