Round 1
Dragon Deck

I faced a dragon deck in the first round, go figure since almost everyone had them. It was going smooth until he pulled out his two blue eyes and red eyes using flute of summoning, but having 2 capture jars I had it covered, for now. I was able to get one of my Magcian of Faiths and Mirror Force before he destroyed my jar. I was able to kill his dragons and get my reborn for one of his blue eyes and finished him off. The second duel was much harder. He had all three of his blue eyes on the field, nut then my favorite card came to me on cue like a movie script, I had 500lp left and he had 400lp left when I drew my Time Wizard. I fliped the coin and called tails never fails...................................................Tails and was able to kill the rest of his lp with my time wizard.

Round 2
A Gate Guardian deck

This is the first time I have seen some one use a gate guardian deck.Well anyway he was left help less thanks to my trap holes and fissures he wasn't able to get gate guardian. Thats pretty much how both duels went.

Round 3
Semi-Finals
My friend's so called joey deck

I had to face my friend who was using his swamp and lava battleguard deck with his castle of dark illusions and shadow ghoul. The first match I was getting owned by his battleguards, but I played dark hole, however he played a shadow ghoul and next turn get his castle, I got destroyed. Next match however I was able to control I had my Summoned Skulls out. He played mirror force but but my Solemn judgement bailed me out once again. The final duel was tense. It went on forever, with each of us able to counter the others move. However by the near end of my deck I had a magic jammer, change of heart, and a shadow ghoul. I was able to control his guy and use it to bring out shadow ghoul with a ton of guys in my graveyard. He used dark hole but I had a magic jammer and finished him off. My friend was able to take 3rd place

Finals
Burner Deck

He had no chance I was jamming and traping all of his burner stuff, to be honest if more people had jammers and seven tools he would have never made this far.

I won the tourney, I got my self 16 boosters. I got a ton of kool cards including Gate Guardian and Mirror Force to name a few. Till next week cya.
