Before the tournament things were crazy, mostly b/c everyone was shouting at everyone else for watching them playtest.

Ok, so the host was shouting off names of who were playing who and we were all scrambling to get to our seats. There were 3 people left who hadn't been called yet, and I was one of them. Another was a person whom I had been fearing because he beat me practically EVERY time I played him that week. The last person was one who I knew I would slaughter.. just my luck. I get paired up with Matt, the person who I ( thought) I knew I couldn't beat.

Round 1: Matt  ( Exodia ) vs. Nick

Game one- it was witch of the black forest after sangen, after Sangen.. How lucky for me that he also had plenty of Wabuko's and Kuribo's .... I topdecked a card destruction ( which is one reason i was running them main as the 3 people who I feared all played exodia ) and thought to myself thank god! hmm.. magic jammer! AGH! He builds exodia thanks to big eye and last will.

SideDeck -  OUT: 3 Wall of Illusion           IN: 3 Tribute to the Doomed ( tttd )

Game 2 - Lucky for me, all my removal kept his creatures gone and I got an early summoned Skull and fish. Lucky for me that TTTD stops the pesky flip effects of Big eye, magician of Faith and mask of darkness.

Game 3 - I win practically the same way as game 2, however, he had 4 peices, and  the next card was the last one ( Big eye ) but, with Fish, Neo, Ox,  and SS, the extra damage that Big Eye blocked wasn't enough.

Record -    2-0-1         1-0-0

Round 2 - Some Kid ( Yugi Starter Deck )  vs. Nick

Game one - There isn't much to say about this.. he bought a yugi starter deck and entered with it.. all cards inculding Doma the Angel of Silence ( AGH! ).. utter murder..

Game two - The only difference between game one and two here is that his yami helped me win this, as he did have some other cards ( like 1 or 2 7-Colored fish ) but thanks to La Jinn's Boost from HIS yami, i win..

Record - 2-0-0    2-0-0

Round 3 - Mace ( Defensive Burner ) vs. Nick

Game one - He is actually pretty good, but thanks to re-inforcements, fisures, and raigeki, my monsters get through his 21 2000+ def monsters ( prevent rat, Mystical elf, GSOS, Spirit of the Harp, aqua madoor, Dark elf, and Jurai Gumo )

Sidedeck- OUT: 3 Wall of Illusions IN: 3 TTTD

Game 2 - He is at like 400-900 life, me having 4 monsters on the field, he has a Mystical Elf, Aqua madoor, and GSOS on the field, me STILL being at 8000.. he plays one of the BEST plays ever..
1: Raigeki
2: Prevent rat
3; SWORD AND SHIELD!! AHH!
He attacks me directly for 8000!

Game 3 - I win on turn 3. He goes first..

1 HIM : he plays a monster in DEF mode
1 ME : Dark hole, Fish, attack you directly,
2 HIM: Dark elf ( trap holed )
2 ME : Monster reborn his Dark elf, play Neo, attack directly
3 HIM: Juria Gumo
3 ME: Pot of Greed, Fissure, Battle ox, attack directly.. i win

Record - 2-0-1     3-0-0

Round 4- Ivan ( exodia ) vs. Nick

This kid was the same kid that I faced in the finals of last week tourney and lost to, however this week I was prepared by maindecking Card Destruction

Game one -  Removal ALL his critters, attack directly win soon ( the whole point of my deck )

Side Deck - OUT 3 wall of Illusion              IN 3 TTTD ( i do that a lot )

Game 2- he slaps a mirror force in my face and stalls me for so long with 2 SORL and other stuff... he forms exodia with a summoned skull on the board.. horrible loss

Game 3- he had Witch of the black forest, last will, sangens, big eye, and magician of faith... luckily I had 2 card destructions.... magic jammer :D! I use the next one.. he flips over a magic jammer!!!!!!  then realizes that all he has in his hand are exodia peices, as a result, he scoops.

Record - 2-0-1 4-0-0

Most of the rounds that I won were won on pure luck, and my Tech of maindeck Card Destruction..

Props - Round 2 kid and Mace for being good losers and Rey for hosting the      
             tournament

Slops - to Matt for being a HORRIBLE loser and calling me a cheater
