Deck Name: Die to Live(Monster Recovery Deck) Name: Anthony Preziosi (Prezident of Dueling) Stoneham News and Smoke Shop 12/21/02 Stoneham, Ma Participants: 12+ Entry Fee: 8 bucks for free food&drink, otherwise 5 bucks Prizes: 1st, 2 tourney packs All: tourney pack and pack of protectors This tourney was intense, but I couldn't be in the whole thing because I had to leave when I was dueling a kid and his Zombie deck in the second round..., oh well, I won my other match with ease. Cards: 40 Monsters: 20 Magician of Faith x1 (I want another one) Man Eater Bug x3 (no explaination necessary) Spear Cretin x2 (Monster Recovery) Mask of Darkness x1 (see Man Eater bug) Cyber Jar x1 (Dark Hole all over again) Hayabusa Knight x1 (2 attacks rock!) La Jinn x2 (nuff said) Battle Ox x1 (see La Jinn) Harpie's Brother x2 (see Battle Ox) Jirai Gumo x1 (take a chance-2200 Attack) Summoned Skull x2 (the best monster ever,but someone stole my other one) Suijin x1 (Favorite God, Its effect rocks) Garnecia Elefantis x1 (Favorite Monster) Blue Eyes White Dragon x1 (sheer brute force) Magic: 14 Dark Hole x1 (God's wrath) Monster Reborn x1 (nuff said) Pot of Greed x1 (cards are always good) Change of Heart x1 (nuff said) Shallow Grave x1 (a not so great reborn) Card Destruction x1 (get high levels in graveyard) Painful Choice x1 (see card destruction) De-Spell x1 (I'm on a budjet, ok?)

HaHa!) Anyway, no japanese cards were allowed. Pharoah's servant were legal, and, believe it or not, Phil(store owner) was giving out free card sleeves with the tourney pack just for entering. I gave mine away (not my color). I was rushed out of there in the second round, but it was fun all the same. Round 1: Prezident of Gaming vs. Danny(best friend) He has a mixed up toon/beatdown deck that at the moment is pretty pathetic. His best cards were stolen, so his only remaining toon is Toon Summoned Skull. Enough said, he lost to me easily. Duel 1: Prezident-8000-7200-5500 Danny-8000-5500-1600-0 He started out using a monster in defense. I played Change of heart, and tributed for a Summoned Skull, and attacked for 2500. He used Fissure, and attacked with an 800 effect monster (can't remember). I used a killer move a few turns later involving monster reborn(on blue eyes after Painful Choice) Call of the haunted on summoned Skull, and Hayabusa Knight, which brought him down to 1600. He couldn't regain control from here. Winner: me Duel 2: Me-8000-5500-600-0 Him-8000-5500-4000 Couldn't get anything going. I had all magic in my hand, and I didn't get monsters for a few turns. I lost. Duel 3: Me: 8000 Him: 8000-????-????-0 Don't really remember, just that I got two summoned skulls out and then used Change of heart on his SS to win. Winner: me Match 2: Prezident of Games VS. Anthony (Zombie deck) Deul 1 Prezident 8000-7950-7450-forfeit Anthony 8000-7200-5500-win by default. He was so horrible with his new zombie deck, I toyed with him. My mistake. The only damage I took was from a powered up Whiptail Crow. But I used up all my time and had to leave so I was disqualified from the tourney. But, it was fun anyway. Now time for props and slops Props: For doing so well in my first match For Danny for being a good sport For my new Hayabusa Knight for winning me the duel. For Yoohoo for tasting so good For My call of the Haunted Slops: For having to leave too early For getting crap in my packs For my Pharoah's servant pack for containing crap For that kid who didn't deserve to win For that kid mentioned above for stealing SS. before the tourney If anyone wants to contact me, My screen name is Prezident021@aol.com I'm open to all advice, just no spam, ok? Anthony Preziosi is my name, to make it formal.
