Well, I got there at about 5:45 and it started at about 6:00, so I sat down and played a quick 3-way of Magic: The Gathering (Blue/Green Madness J). Finally, after having 6 Roar of the Worms out (6/6) they called out pairings. Turns out that im against my old friend Mike
Round 1: Duel 1 True Forbidden vs. Mike (Direct Dmg)
Wow, this one was too fast it wasn’t even funny. After the flip he called wrong so I chose to go first, and man it was great. My starting hand had: Head, Right Arm, Backup Soldier, Dark Hole, Painful Choice and I drew Messanger of peace. I played my Painful Choice, and got the remaining 3 pieces, and 2 cannon soldiers. He let me have the right leg. I played it face down and then used dark hole. Following I set down my backup soldier. He drew and I won :-).
Round 1: Duel 2
A little bit slower, all I know is that I got all 3 searchers early on, and I won by turn 4.
We were done before anyone else was done with their first duel. So I decided to walk around, and I traded my rare TP-2 card (cant remember what it was) and my unl version for 1/e versions of cards.
Round 2: Duel 1 vs. Jed (No Options)
Argh, Jed used to be soo bad, but I helped him create a deck that gives your opp no options. Luckily I got cannon soldier and Sangan in my starting hand, played Sangan and he Raigeki’d then played a FD. I drew and played cannon soldier, shallow graved my Sangan 3x and finished him off w/ Exodia :).
Round 2: Duel 2
Turn 2 win, 4 pieces in starting hand and played a Mystic Tomato face down. He atked, I got my Sangan and kamakazied it against his La Jinn for the win.
Argh, now is where I felt the heat coming, I had to face the winner of Peter vs. Dustin, and I was soo hoping that Peter would win, because I took a peak at Dustin’s sidedeck, and found delinquent duo, confiscation, soul release, card destruction and many more evil things. Anyway, when I got over there it was in the second duel and Dustin just owned Peter, so I told Peter no more pop for you (I had exclaimed that if he won I’d give him a free pop).
Round 3: Duel 1 vs. Dustin (Beatdown- Anti Gravitybind)
Well, luckily you cannot side deck the first game, so I felt a little bit safer. I got out Messanger of Peace very quickly, and just stalled till I got all my Exodia pieces (sorry for lack of info here, been a while.)
Round 3: Duel 2
I knew he side-decked and knew I was in for a show. I had a decent starting hand of 2 backup soldier, cannon soldier, painful choice and mystic tomato. I drew and got messanger, then played tomato face down and let him go. He attacked it with a Man-eater with an axe on it, so I got Sangan. I Kamakazid Sangan into his Man-Eater after playin cannon soldier facedown. He card destructioned and then soul released, makin me mad. Anyway, I knew I had to work fast, as he was bound to have a lot. Eventually I got all 3 Mystic Tomato out, he Mirror Forced it :(. 2x Cannon Soldiers on the field was my ending forces when he was at 4000 life. I needed a monster, any monster. I drew my favorite finishing card. EXODIA THE FORBIDDEN ONE! I dropped it in atk mode since I had a solemn facedown, attacked with everything. Then to complete the duel, I pulled off the tribute of the head for the win.
Now I had too much time on my hands, I had to wait… and wait… and wait, finally the duel got done, thinking I had to face the winner, I went up and said “So I’m playin Josè eh? The store owner smirked and said, If he wins his next duel you are. ARGH ANOTHER DUEL I HAD TO SIT THROUGH. I finally went and learned to play Mage Knight, watchin muh buddy Eric own it up :) (Eric and I are tag-team duelists, we never took 1 loss in our duel burner decks.) Josè finally won it.
Onto the Finals, Finally :-)
Round 4: Duel 1 vs. Josè (Polymerization Black-Skull, used to have a great Dark deck)
This wasn’t even worth sayin, I had him so rattled I killed him with cannon soldier.
Round 4: Duel 2
Again, I had him so rattled I pulled off exodia with 50 lps left (he got me to 200 and I used 3 solemns lol)
Yay, a win for me in a free tourney. FREE TOURNAMENT PACK WEWT!
I pulled another Sonic Maid ;-)
