First match

me vs. a rook

no challenge, I wanted to test out my burn deck, but to no avail. I felt bad because he didn’t know how to construct a tournament worthy deck. I won the first one burning him badly that I had to send him to I.C.U. Second duel, I tried losing to him, but he wouldn’t attack. I was pressed for time, so I shot him mercilessly with cannon soldier. I think I reused Vase of Greed 4 times that round. 3 MoF hot damn!

1-0

Second Match

me vs. Norm aka the quiet storm pt 2

He was so nervous when I sat down. I mean my deck is good, but damn! I didn’t know it was Bandit Keif good or Kev-o clown good. He offered to submit before we even dueled. He said I’ll surrender, if you give me one pack when you win. I convinced him to play on. The first duel I burned him like I burned the rook, but the minute I stopped paying for Imperial Order, my protection was gone and my little princess tsurugi was looking at a summoned skull and a goblin attack force. Peace out! 2nd duel this one is for the books. Got him down to 4000 with fires that would make Serf’s forest fires one of those used to roast marshmallows at camp. I flipped a cyber jar, I had 3 effects, all face down, he had 4 effects, 2 down 2 up. I place a ceasefire and just desserts down. He draws and...THE ROOF, THE ROOF, THE ROOF IS ON FIRE, WE DON’T NEED NO WATER LET THE LITTLE S’MORE BURN!!!”

Even his little solemn wishes couldn’t save him from that devastating, 5500 burning onslaught.

Last duel beat him with the might of 2 princesses and my little friends OO, KA, and ZI.

2-0

Finals

me vs chris

Dueling my friend’s brother, didn’t pay much attention and I couldn’t stop his magic/trap removal, left me with no protection got stomped on by Jinns and Goblins. 2nd duel I lit him good with Just desserts and Fires. Shot off a lot of monsters until he knew it was too dangerous. Tied at 1-1, didn’t matter to me if I lost or won, but one thing is for sure, need to strengthen my deck to be the best anti-beatdown there is. Lost the third duel when I stopped paying for Imperial order....again. Got my ass-ests handed to me on a platter char broiled to 450 degrees. 2nd place, three packs later, nothing but another gravity bind, appropriation, and the fearsome red moon baby!!! Next time.
