Ok on to the tournament.20 people participated.12 ppl. dueled the first round everyone else got a bye.Its not best 2-3 if u lose once, ur out.
ok Round 1:
Just my luck i dont get a bye.I have to face a kid alot older than me but he had just bought the yugi and kaiba starters and gone through the rule book an hour before the tourney.In my drawing hand i got mystical elf and shield & sword.I played Mystical elf in defense mode and placed shield & sword on the field.He played La Jinn and attacked my elf with him losing 200 lp(Him:7800 Me:8000)I flipped over Mystical Elf and then shield and sword attacking for 1000 lp's(Him:6800 Me:8000)He went and drew a card that he placed in defense mode.I drew.YES!!I got WotBF played that in defense mode then played Dark hole to destroy it and the elf.I used wotbf to snag my Shadow Ghoul which was consequently on the bottom of my deck(guess i skiped the other one)I had a Cheerful Coffin in my hand and 2 monsters in my hand.i wanted to wait to use it to its fullest extent with the other one with it,so i placed it on the field.He plays *snicker* Claw Reacher to attack my lp's(Him 6800 Me:7000)My turn,i draw and play 7 Colored Fish to destroy his claw reacher(Him:6000 Me:7000)His turn,he plays something in defense mode and a Magic or Trap face down.My turn i draw my La Jinn and play him to attack the face down monster (Master &Expert)and then attack with 7 colored fish(Him:4200,Only doing the one who lost or gained lp now)His Turn he flips over his placed card(Dark Hole) and then attacks with Mystical Elf (Me:6200)Now its my turn and im getting impatient,i draw and play Pot Of greed and get my second mystical elf and ultimate offering.I play mystical elf then use ultimate offering sacrificing 500 of my lp(Me:5700)and play shadow ghoul (atk power:2100) i attack mystical elf making him lose 1200 points(Him:3000)His turn,he draws and smacks a monster in defense mode.My turn,i flip The Cheerful Coffin,destroying 3 monsters in my hand,boosting shadow ghoul to 2400.I destroy his face down monster (Ancient Elf) and then play Castle of Dark Illusions in defense mode.Im trying to beef up shadow ghoul as quick as possible in fear of summoned skull or bewd.He plays Wall of Illusion and attacks my face down Castle (just what i hoped for)(Him:2070)My turn Shadow ghoul:2600.I draw and play my own wall of illusion and attack his destroying them both.then for the finishing blow i destry him with shadow ghoul.Shadow Ghoul Victory Count:41
While waiting for every1 else to finish,i talk to a guy whose playing and exodia deck.He say that when he faces ppl. they try all they can to destroy exodia so he switches from using his wotbf's and sangan to get exodia to getting cards like summoned skull and sangan.He also said it will probably come down to me vs. him.That was something i hoped wouldnt happen.
Round 2
YAY! I get a bye this time.I go and watch exodia guy who had in about 4 or 5 turns assembled exodia.This half-scared me hlaf-excited me cuz i always like a new and differnet challenge.I then watch a match between a kid playing a Ritual Deck(they all ready had magic ruler there) and a kid who had no idea what to do.It ended with Ritual Kid absorbing 2 summoned skulls with Relinquished(i.e.Sacrifice)and completely obliterating the New Kid.
Round 3
No bye this time AND i was playing ritual kid so i had to keep my wits together.I let him go first.He places a card in face down defense mode and ends his turn.I play Lajinn and attack.NO!! it was Sangan and i was guessing he was going for his prized card,Relinquished.I was right. On his turn he sacrifices Kuriboh from his hand and plays Relinquished.He absorbs my La jinn and attacks me with it.(Me:6200)Ok im going bananas over getting Relinquished out of the field.I GOT IT!!I play 7 Colored fish and attack LaRelinquished(i will mix the name of an absorbed monster with Relinquished)destroying him then i play fissure to destroy Relinquished.Now its his turn and he plays Maha Vailo with ring of magnetism attached,im forced to play my Mystical Elf/Shield & Sword combo i was saving to destroy Maha.(Him:7400)He states thats the lowest hes gotten in all the tourneys he has played here.I dont know if that was meant to intimidate me or what but whatever.He plays Dark Elf and attacks my elf destroying them both.(His lp:6400)My turn i draw and place Waboku and then do a terrific combo.I reborn his Relinquished and when he thinks he is getting free lp damage with his other Dark Elf i play Waboku and he ends up losing another 1000 lp's(Him:5400) he starts to panic as i absorb his monster and attack him with it (Him:3400)The kid who he whooped is cheering me on like crazy and the xodia guy is starting to look scared.he plays a mon in defense mode and i absorb it making my atk pwr 2500 i then play Cannon Soldier to finish him off.He congratulated me on his first loss thanks to losing LP's.
Semi-Final Round
This was the deciding moment to see if i won anything at all.I was facing a kid who had a mediocore beatdown deck packed with BEWD's,Summoned Skulls, Lajinns and 7 Colored fish.Needless to say this wont be a hard match,but it wont be easy either.He had 1 fusion monster which he refused to show me.I thought it would be Twin Headed Thunder Dragon cuz i saw a Thunder Dragon when we showed each other the bottoms of our decks.Boy was i wrong.Early in the game he played Toon World(Him:7000) and a toon archer.he attacked me(Him:6500) with it(Me:6600)My turn.I draw...WHAT LUCK!!! i draw the one card to shut down his toon.I play De-Spell and i then play LaJinn for 1800 lp's (Him:4700)my turn I draw and play Summoned Skull and destroy his face down card(Great White)His turn.He draws and plays Change of Heart thats when i forsee a bad omen.He then plays Polymerization to fuse my Summoned Skull with the Red Eyes Balck Dragon in his hand forming the BLACK SKULL DRAGON!!!yhe attacks me with it and i lose a handfull of lp's(Me:3400) i knew in a turn it would all be over so i had to draw the right card.SWEET!! Luck is with me today as i draw Monster Reborn.I play Tribute to the Doomed sacrificing my Mystical Elf to destroy the all powerful dragon.Then i play Monster Reborn and get it on my side.My turn to go on the offensive,i play cannon soldier in attack mode and attack with them both (Him:100) then i launch the dragon for the finishing blow.
YESSS!!!! im guanteed at least 20$ now.They call a 10 minute break before the final round.In those 10 minutes i talk to the guy im facing,Exodia guy.I learn his name is George and he has dozens of decks that he plays with here.This was only my Third time here compared to most of these ppl.'s tenth or eleventh time.
Ok 10 minutes is up.TIME TO DUEL!!!
He starts with a La Jinn in attack mode.I play my 7 Colored Fish and i use ultimate offering to fill up my field(Me:6000)He says im foolish until he realizes that i have a cannon soldier out there.I launch all the monster to do 2500 damage(Him:5500)I also get to search for 2 monsters with under 1500 defense with my 2 WotBF.I snag Castle of Dark Illusions and Shadow Ghoul(see a combo coming?) to attack with another Lajinn but thanks to extended rulings it stops both of them.Iplay Dark Hole and then i play Castle in defense mode.He then plays wotbf and attacks me.(Him:4670)i draw and get a wall of illusion i play that in defense and say its weaker thatn wotbf with no effect.He falls for it hook,line, and sinker and attackslosing lp's (Him:3920)and sending that witch back to his hand.I draw and get a monster reborn.I place Monster Reborn face down and play Card Destruction destroying 4 of his exodia pieces(sweeeet) and then Monster Reborn a Shadow Ghoul(atk pwr:2200) and attack (Him:0)
SWEEEEEEEEETTTTT!!!!!! I win my first tourney EVER and i get 40 bucks.I bought 6 packs of Magic Ruler and got my very own Ritual of Illusions and Relinquished.I also Got a Toon World,Axe of Despair and Manga Ryu-Ran.
