Reading the opponet

As most of you know, recently at YCS Atlanta I got top 16 with an Eatos macro deck, with out of the ordinary techs such as "Karakuri Ninja MDL 339 Sazank" and "Zoma the Spirit". It takes a lot more then just playing the cards right, because when it comes right down too it, you only play the cards right if you can read your opponet right. When making decisions during the YCS, I had to consider all of the options my opponet could have done the next turn, or possibly think up to 3 turns ahead, so the decisions I made were to put the opponet in such a disposition, they start wasting their cards trying to defend their life points rather then go for advantage. One of my favorite plays at YCS Atlanta was in round 7 against the opponet Ethan Wilson who was playing blackwings, we were on game 2(I had won game 1), he was at 600lifepoints and his field consisted of Cyber Dragon a Face down monster, 1 card to his backrow and 1 card in his hand, he had already used 2 icarus attack so I was 70% certain he did not have another, I had zoma the spirit face down along with 2 cards in my hand, when he flipped up his bora and declared an attack I flipped up zoma the spirit, when I explained to him the effect that he would take all the attack of his monster to his lifepoints, he switched the cyber dragon to defense mode, putting me a Great position on destroying cyber dragon and coming back to win that game, it was back and forth and I evantually came out of the situation for a 2-0 victory, but where I'm getting at with this is, you have to think what they could possibly do, if he would have used Kalut the moon shadow when I attacked his bora the spear, then I win the game, so it's a win-win situation unless he uses icarus attack to destroy his cyber dragon and my zoma, which was completely fine with me. Reading Blackwing decks is fairly easy, but when it comes to debris plants, there are more factors you have to add in, such as "Have they used Spore, Glowup bulb, or Pot of avarice?". Against X-sabers, you simply make sure they can't do big Faultroll plays, otherwise your in a really bad spot. During my next post, I will discuss my opponets at YCS Atlanta, and explain how each game went! Thanks for reading this, IamKevinSilva Outta here!
