\parAs usuall there was a pre-tourny drawing for cards, these included Ax of Despair, Forceful Sentry, Giant Trunade, and a few others. After getting my name pulled out twice last week I was feelin pretty lucky so I put $3 in the pot this time. Well Russ got first pull and got the ax, but a few turns later I got my name drawn out twice so it was all good. I got a Force-Sent and a Hayabusa Knight.
\parNow on to the Duels
\par
My first match was agianst Steve, he ran a pretty strong 50 card deck.
\par
First Duel: Me vs. Steve\par
This match started out pretty slow with very little life pts. being taken off. But soon enough the fun began. I played a SoRL, this gave me enough time to draw a few key cards I needed to break this duel open. After his 2nd turn of swords I busted out a Raigeki and took out his Face up Big eye and White Magical Hat. Then I tributed my WoBF to bring out a Skull\par and started to take off the life pts. Next turn I summoned the Dark Elf I got w/ WoBF and finished him off.
\par Winner: Me (4500-0)Second Duel: Me vs. Steve
\par
Comin off the last win I was feeling pretty confident in the effectiveness of my deck, and to top it off I had a decent draw. He elected to 2nd so I put down my mirror force and a bug face down. Then he used mystical space typoon and destroyed my Mirror Force and put a monster face down. I was disgruntled about losing my Mirror Force but I retaliated by bring out a Skull w/ an ax and killed the face down monster. Then to my horror he snach stole my suped up skull and started dwindling my lp w/ it. After a few turns he bought out his own Skull and the 2 Skulls finished me off.
Third Duel: Me vs. Steve
\par
This one was gonna go the distance. It went on very slow for a few turns until he broungt out a Mysterious Puppeteer. He started gain life like it was goin outta style. He was at 11000 when the tides turned. I got out a skull and destroyed his puppeteer. On the next turn I activated 2 Robin Goblins and went to town on his hand. Then his life pts. just nosedived.
I drew the ultimate first hand, it consisted of Raigeki, Heavy Storm, Trib to Doomed, Del. Duo, and a Dark elf. My first turn I just cleared the whole board and attacked w/ Elf. Then Next Turn I brought out a Skull and attacked w/ both. On my 3rd turn it was over.
\par Winner: Me (5000-0)Another awsome draw. I got both Heavy Storm and Raigeki again. This one didn't go as fast, but i ended up activating a Robbin' Goblin and attacked w/ White Magical Hat. From then on he had no hand. I had him down to 1400 lp and he must not have drawn a game saving card. He then threw the card he drew across the room and forfit.......HAHAHA
\par Winner: Me (8000-0)I went second, played Del. Duo and pulled out a BEWD and a Toon Blue eyes. I reborn his BEWD w/ an AX and took 4000 direct off. He laid a card face down and ended his turn. I Raigekied, laid cannon soldier and beat him on my 2nd turn.
This match I used SoRL 3 times for 9 turns, during this time I just ate away at his lps with a Face up bug, Mof, and Mod. Somewhere in the middle he used Snatch Steal on my Skull and I gained 2000 lp because he couldnt attack w/ it. I Raigekied the skull and finished this one off.
