Well,
added a few cards that I got from trading such as Cyber Jar, Forceful Sentry,
Heavy Storm, and Delinquent Duo, depending on how useful they seems in duels
will depend on wether they will stay or not. Also added Mask of Darkness,
another Waboku, and a Skull for power.
Well,
I walked in 45 minutes early, and signed up, and traded, and chatted a bit,
until the pairing were announced.
So I
walk over, and see Im against Trevor, who in the previoius tourney was kicked
for cussing.
Match
One, Participants:33
Trevor
once again ran an stall/burner deck.
Duel
One
Dark
Winged Duelist:8000-7000-6000-5200
Trevor:8000-7500-3900-2100-0
Okay,
he got me a lot with direct damage cards, but drew barely any monsters, so
direct damage was easy.
Duel
Two
Dark
Winged Duelist:8000-7000-6200
Trevor:8000-6000-2400-600-0
This
duel, he was actually able to draw Bind, but when he did, I Heavy Stormed.
Delinquent Duo nailed two messengers, and Elf was able to
hit.
After
finishing the duel we shaked each others hands, and he left riding his bike. I
had also been happening to wonder when our store would release Labyrinth of
Nightmare, so I walked up to the cash register and ask and I find out the store
gets Labyrinth in two weeks.
Oh
well, that’s what Target, and K-Mart are for. By then, the next rounds pairings
are announced, and I find Im up against Max, you runs an Relinquished/Beatdown.
Match
Two, Particiants:17
Duel
One
Dark
Winged Duelist:8000-6200-5200-
Max:8000-6000-2400-0
Okay.
He runs an well built Relinquished, and at two points in our duel, he was able
to summon Restrict. Luckily, I had my monster removal just at the right time.
Duel
Two
Dark
Winged Duelist:8000-6200-5200-1600
Max:8000-6000-4200-3200-2200-400-0
He had
the upperhand on me the whole start of the duel, and got me to 1600 before I had
even layed an hand on him.
But
then I played Dark Hole, and hit with an Elf. Next, I continuosly hit with White
Magical Hat.
After
a bit of laughter and congratulations with Max, I went outside since for the
next round I had a bye and grabbed a slice of pizza.
After
a 15 minute wait, I walked back to store, and waited to find my next opponent.
I find
out Im up about Cole, who runs an equiment beatdown, Hayabusa, Axes, Maha
Valios.
Match
Three, Particiapants:5
Duel
One
Dark
Winged Duelist:8000-7000-3000-1200-200
Cole:8000-6000-4000-2200-400-
Dark
Elf came into play here and cause me to lose a lot of life. At one point he hit
me with an Hayabusa Knight with Axe because I had run out of cards in my hand,
and he basically just destroyed me. But, I fissured, used the Ultimate Offering
he had to set to summon an La Jinn, and Geafried for the
win.
Duel
Two
Dark
Winged Duelist:8000-4950-950-0
Cole:8000-6200-4400-
This
duel was different, he was able to hit with with an Maha Valio with Axe, and
Hayabusa with Axe, monster removal kept me alive, and when I ran out of removal,
I just died on the spot.
Duel
Three
Dark
Winged Duelist:8000-4000-600
Cole:8000-6200-5200-4200-3300-0
This
time I side decked in two Eternal Rests, just incase. At the beginning he hit me
with Hayabusa with Axe, but White Magic Hats hit twice, Mask hit, and I finished
him off with a Skull, and Geafried the Iron Knight.
After
the duel, the three remaining duelists gathered, to roll dice, and whoever
eneded with the hightest number is the one who recoeves a bye. Sadly I rolled
two, four, and three, which was the lowest total.
So I
find out I am dueling Edgar, who runs an clown control theme deck, with Gravity
Bind, as stall.
Match
Four, Particiapants:3
Duel
One
Dark
Winged Duelist:8000-4000-3000-2000-800
Edgar:8000-6200-5200-4200-600-0
He was
actually able to pull of the Clown combo, with Bind, and was hit many times by
White Magic Hat. Later in the duel he had done so much discard, so all I had was
a La Jinn, Stormed Bind, played two Fissures, and attaked for the
win.
Duel
Two
Dark
Winged Duelist:8000-6800-4600-2600-0
Edgar:8000-7000-6000-
He was
able to Prohibit Storm, which totally killed me. He also began pounding me with
White Magical hats, ate up my hand, and I slowly died.
Duel
Three
Dark
Winged Duelist:8000-7000-5800-4600-2600-400-0
Edagr:8000-6000-4200-2100-300
Great
duel, one of the best Ive ever had. I was able to Storm Bind until he set up an
Prohibit, which I tried to Jammered, which he Solemn Judgemented. If he had not
played SJ, the duel would have been over. But without, he kept pounding me with
Dream Clown, and White Magical Hats.
Since
I was eliminated, I received third prize (Not bad) of two Pharoahs Servant
packs. I open them up and guess what, I get another
Gearfried…
Oh
well, anyways, Edgar went on to play Takeshi, which he dominated the duel, and
took the match.
So, my
mom came, since two and an half hours had passed, and we headed home. I was
actually proud since I had stood my ground against a very strong duelist, and
had got that far. So before I finish up, Ill re-post my new modified
deck.

Well,
same as usual except for the second Gearfried. The only possible modifications I
can see are adding an Imperial Order, which I hopefully by next week will have.
Also I may think off adding two Jirai Gumos once again, but that is only a 50%
chance.
SO
remember, anyone can stand a chance, so never give up, even if you don’t have
great cards, and let that be you secret weapon.
That’s
all folks, hopefully Ill be back next week, and by then Labyrinth of Nightmare
will be out already.
