Entering is $6-One LON pack free
If you win you get a plaque with a LON super rare and 3 more packs (Lame huh?)

Anyway, here's my deck (Please don't email me and ask me how I got the cards, but I have spent crazy money, but it's worth it)

Tribute Monsters:
1 Jinzo (No traps means no Mirror Force or Magic Cylinders for opponent)

Non-tribute Monsters (18):
3 Gemini Elf (Beat any 1800 monster opponent tries to summon)
3 Goblin Attack Force (Great for attacking life points directly)
3 Kycoo the Ghost Destroyer (1800, plus great effect)
1 Bazoo the Soul-Eater (Take down Goblin Attack Force)
2 Magician of Faith (Get back Magic [extremely good])
1 Witch of the Black Forest (Take any monster except Wall of Illusion)
1 Cyber Jar (Great in tight spots)
1 Morphing Jar #2 (Great in tight spots)
1 Hayabusa Knight (Main equipper)
1 Wall of Illusion (Great for clearing field)

Magic Cards (17):
1 Harpie's Feather Duster (If you don't have a Jinzo on the field, this is helpful)
1 Monster Reborn (Reborn any monster destroyed)
1 Change of Heart (Take face-down monsters)
1 Axe of Despair (Not as good as Mage Power or United We Stand, but 1000)
1 Snatch Steal (Take face-up monsters at a small cost)
1 Premature Burial (Reborn your monster at a small cost)
1 United We Stand (800 for every face-up monster)
1 Mage Power (500 for every face-up or face-down magic or trap)
1 Graceful Charity (Gives you a better selection)
1 Dark Hole (If you have no monsters, it's a Raigeki)
1 Raigeki (Great for clearing field)
1 Swords of Revealing Light (Great in tight spots)
2 Nobleman of Crossout (Get rid of annoying flip effects)
2 Fissure (Destroy if you can't Snatch Steal)
1 Pot of Greed (Drawing will help you any time)

Trap Cards (5):
1 Imperial Order (Negate any magic, if you don't want to pay the cost, destroy it)
1 Magic Cylinder (Blow up your opponent's life points without attacking)
1 Mirror Force (Basically a trap Raigeki)
1 Call of the Haunted (Bring back any of your destroyed monsters, especially Jinzo)
1 Torrential Tribute (Basically a trap Dark Hole)

1st Round
Max vs. Beatdown
8000-8000
I summon Gemini Elf and set Imperial Order and Call of the Haunted face-down.
He uses Harpie's Feather Duster, I activate Imperial Order. He sets a monster in defense and ends his turn.
I use Nobleman of Crossout, and it's a Cyber Jar. I summon Hayabusa Knight and wipe out 7100.
He plays another defense monster and sets a card face-down.
I draw Jinzo; I activate Raigeki, tribute Gemini Elf for Jinzo and wipe him out.
8000-0
8000-8000
He plays a card in defense (I think "Why does he keep doing that if he has a beatdown?") and sets two cards face down.
I activate Harpie's Feather Duster and Dark Hole. I summon Kycoo the Ghost Destroyer and power it up with a Mage Power and Axe of Despair and set Mirror Force face-down.
8000-4300
He activates Heavy Storm and summons Goblin Attack Force and attacks my Kycoo the Ghost Destroyer.
7500-4300
I draw Hayabusa Knight; I summon him, and attack the Goblin Attack Force and his life points directly.
7500-3300
He sets another monster in defense and ends his turn.
I draw Nobleman of Crossout (God I love that card); I activate it, summon another Kycoo the Ghost Destroyer and wipe out his life points.

2nd Round
Max vs. Beginner (All starter deck cards)
8000-8000
He summons La Jinn the Mystical Genie of the Lamp and ends his turn.
I activate Snatch Steal and summon Hayabusa Knight with an Axe of Despair and United We Stand. I attack him directly for 9000.
8000-8000
He activates Pot of Greed. He sets a monster in defense mode and sets two cards face-down.
I activate Pot of Greed, draw Graceful Charity and Jinzo. I activate Graceful Charity; draw Monster Reborn, Premature Burial and Dark Hole. I discard Jinzo and another card that was not used the whole duel. I activate Premature Burial, he uses Magic Jammer. I use Dark Hole; it was a Man-eater Bug. I activate Monster Reborn for my Jinzo and summon Wall of Illusion equipped with an Axe of Despair doing 4200 damage.
He sets another monster in defense.
I summon Gemini Elf; attack with it, attack with Jinzo and Wall of Illusion again for a victory.
8000-0

Semi-Finals
Max vs. Clown Control
He sets a card face down and summons a Dream Clown.
I summon Gemini Elf, he activates Gravity Bind!
I set my Magic Cylinder and end my turn.
He switches Dream Clown to defense to destroy my Gemini Elf. Then he summons Dragon Zombie and attacks, I activate Magic Cylinder.
I draw Pot of Greed; I draw Hayabusa Knight and Axe of Despair. I summon Hayabusa Knight and equip him with Axe of Despair to destroy both his monsters and take out 400 life points.
8000-6000
He sets a monster face-down and ends his turn.
I draw Change of Heart! I activate it, and it is a Mask of Darkness, I flip it for my Magic Cylinder back. Then I summon Goblin Attack Force and attack with all my monsters for the victory.

Finals
Max vs. Equip Beatdown
I summon Gemini Elf and end my turn.
He sets a monster in defense and ends his turn.
I smirk because I have two Nobleman of Crossouts in my hand. I summon another Gemini Elf and activate Nobleman of Crossout to destroy all three of his Man-eater Bugs. I attack him with both Gemini Elfs for 3800 damage.
He sets another monster and ends his turn.
I use Nobleman of Crossout on it and summon Hayabusa Knight. I deplete his life points.

For winning I got three LON packs (I got nothing good for my deck), and a plaque with a Kycoo the Ghost Destroyer in it.

Props: Winning the tournament, the last round was the easiest.
The only bad thing was that all four of my packs had nothing good except a Jar of Greed.
