Since Upperdeck just made LON legal, and they havent made the restricted list yet,  Ray ( Store Owner ) decided to make a house restricted list from the Japanese version , and allowing only 1x Magical Cylinder, 1x United We Stand, and 1x Mage Power. Unfortunately I havent obtained the power LON cards yet, exluding Skull Lair ( helped me sooooo much ) anyways on to the tourney.

Round 1: Nick vs M ( Sorry forgot your full name ) Beatdown
       My deck is simply made to counter beatdown, however he was good. I started with a gravity bind and a giant rat ( not intending to use the bind till after I search for my dream clown ) , unfortunately he heavy storms and then changes of heart. He plays sangan and attacks me with both. Next turn I summon White Magical Hat, set a skull lair out, a solemn judgement, and a messenger of peace, kill the sangan and get a lucky pick with White Magical Hat, from there on it went downhill for him.
1-0
I sided in Ladybugs of doom between duels
       This was a quick game, He killed my witch, I searched for jinzo. I was waiting for a heavy storm, which happened to come in 2 turns
I then heavy stormed, snatch stealed, change of hearted, sacced for jinzo and premature burialed all in the same turn. A lot of luck is in this game.
2-0

Round 2: Nick vs Vito ( Beatdown )
       This kid had a lot of good cards , but didnt have much strategy. I won't go into details , it was a a very fast game, as usally is for beatdown. His GAF's ended up working against him.
3-0
Sided in Ladybugs
       Same as first.
4-0

Round 3: Nick vs Chris ( Clown Control )
       ACK!! This guy is good. Our decks are VERY similar, and I made a HUGE mistake this game , forgetting that masked sorcerer has 1400 def ( for some reason I thought it had 1000 ) and mistakingly attacked it with an invader of the throne. he got to draw a card AND i was humiliated. Oh well, I got a skull lair out mid-game, and against a deck full of 3-starred monsters, it owned.
5-0
I sided in Fissures
       This game was short. Luckily for me, He couldnt draw much , while I drew everything. I ended up change of hearting, monster reborning, and summoning all in the same turn, game. Another Luck factor game.
6-0

Round 4: Nick vs Chris ( different one ) Beatdown
       This was the guy I was supposed to face first round, but names got switched around and I ended up facing M ( this is why I forgot his name ). Gravity Bind + Messanger of Peace > Beatdown, not much to it, especially with minimal m/t removal.
7-0
Sided in ladybugs
       For some reason, early on, He played a Goblin Attack Force, and a Juria Gumo, but didnt attack when I had one monster ( facedown ) and one face down imperial order ( i guess he thought it was a gravity bind ) I guess I can see the reasoning of him not wanting to lose half his LP or have a monster in DEF with 0 DEF. Anyways, on My turn I heavy stormed, dark holed, monster reborn, premature burial, summon , game. ( I've learned to hold on to those cards until I can pull off a one shot win with them by now )
8-0

WOOHOO! Finals and im undefeated!!!

Finals: Nick vs Raytell ( Beatdown )
       Raytell has to be one of the best beatdown users there are. He has PLENTY of m/t removal ( my bane ) and monster removal, as well as strong monsters. Sure this sounds like ordinary beatdown , but his just packs more punch. Anways, he hit me hard a few times until he got me down to 1000 with a haybusa. I also had a messenger of peace out, keeping me alive. Then I drew what always saves me : JINZO!! I Switched my clown to kill his 1800 monster, activated call of the haunted on a giant rat, sacced my clown for Jinzo and changed of hearted his hayabusa knight. He wasnted dead, but couldnt do anything and I won.
9-0
Ladybugs as usual..
       This game was down to the wire, we were both at around 1000, then he did what I usually do, change of heart, reborn something, heavy storm, summon, game. He put me at about -5000 when I died.
9-1 ( NOO I lost a duel! )
       Before this game I offered him to split First and Second Prize 50-50, but he wanted to play it out. I ended up beating him, and being REALLY happy that he didnt agree.

I got 60$ store credit , and bought 8 LON packs, I got Destiny Board, Kycoo, Marie the Fallen One, 2 spirit letters, and the rest was crap. I traded the Kycoo instantly for 10$ more store credit, and ended the day really happy.

Props:
-All My Opponents for being good
-Skull Lair, having won me every game I played it
-My friend Vincent who is new and made it to 2nd round
-Me for winning
-Me for pulling Kycoo and Destiny board

Slops:
-Raytell for not wanting to split it
-My stupid mistake attacking a masked sorcerer in defense with a invader.
-Vincent for leaving after he lost and not staying to see me win
