This was my first offical tournament and report and I think I did pretty good. I came early to see come tournament action and get so trades. I got 2 great trades. I got a rageki and a pot of greed for 2 sangans. I don't know where this kid came from but he's really stupid. Then I traded mirror wall and horn of heaven for mirror force and magic cylinder. Really stupid kids here. Anyway on to the tournament. It was single elimination except for finals.

Charles vs. Richard (Casual Deck)
Match 2:
He had an 80-card deck. He says he'll crush me and I said we'll see. I get 7 tools, sorl. 7 colored fish, ginn, and man-eater bug. I go first and draw tttd. I lay seven tools and play meb facedown and end my turn. His turn he lays 1 m/t and 1 monster facedown. My turn I draw skull then play ginn play I then flip over meb to kill his mof. I then attack with ginn and he activates mirror force but I counter with 7 tools but he says I can't because mirror force is to strong but I tell him about him chains. After that he quits saying this game is to hard.

Note:   Before I continue I would like to say something. If you are going to play don't quit. I mean some people come to duel and not just stand around which I did for about 15 min.  

Semi-Finals 4 people
Charles vs. William (Exodia/Message Deck)
Match 1: Draw rageki, magic jammer, ginn, fish, and wotbf. He goes first and shows me he has 3 pieces of exodia. So I pray I get confiscation. But instead I get pot of greed so I then prayed I got confiscation and I got it and heavy storm. So I play it and get rid of his head and he says that he has another strategy so I said thank god he didn't quit. So I lay down ginn and put down jammer and rageki. Then he plays soul exchange on ginn for millennium shield then he plays destiny board. Next turn I draw harpie's bro. And then I play fish. And rageki his shield and use heavy storm to destroy his message. He then plays a card face down and ends his turn my turn I lay down wotbf. I then attack his monster, which is cyber jar. I get magician of faith, 2 ginn, Waboku, and Megamorph. He gets 2 millennium shields, 2 sprit letters and mask of darkness. He lays the mask down and law down my ginns. I then draw for harpies' bro and put it down I then attack his mask and he get the trap message. I then attack him with ginns and end my turn. He plays the 3 messages and ends. So I then play a skull for a ginn. He then says good play. I flip over mof and use heavy storm and he curses. I then attack with skull, ginn, and bro for the game.
