Wow. That was my 5th
tournament and I came in _____ place. I won't reveal the secret yet to you all,
but read on and you shall find. Well, it's time to..reveal the tournament
matchups. I walked in with what I thought was a pretty ok deck, and I had the
trust in myself to find a way to get 1st place. I had my teammates there too,
and being as we all have successful decks, I believed I would meet up with them
in the finals. And it was time to reveal the matches. I had to face Matt, a kid
who looked like he was no more than 6 years old, but 10.
Me vs
Matt First, he played a trap card down and I just stared at my hand. United
we Stand, Jinzo, and Fairy Meteor Crush. I set Wall of Illusion face down and
called go. And he just called go, and to my surprise, I drew a Graceful
Charity. Playing it, I drew the card that would win me the duel. Scapegoat. With
Harpies Brother and a Trap Hole. I decided to throw away my T.H and the Harpie,
and sacrificed it for Jinzo, as I equiped U.W.S and Fairy Meteor Crush, and I
attacked for a full strength of 6400 and I said go. He basically drew nothing,
and I attacked for another 6400. I looked at his hand and he had 2 Crab Turtles
and 2 Crab Turtle rituals.. Lp: 8000...8000-1600-0
WHAT?! Vasili lost
in the 2nd round, and my brother loses in the 1st round..I'm the only hope for
the Hot Dawgs.
Me vs Matt [Second Duel.] With Joe looking on, and
Matt's brother trying to give him tips which I refused to go to my head, I drew
a quite imperfect hand. Kycoo the Ghost Destroyer and the returning United We
Stand. I drew the duel out, and I decided to equip Kycoo with United We Stand
and I still gained 800. He left his monster board open, I just attacked and it
was over. Easy duel. I gave him a couple tips, and he had thanked me. I awaited
my next challenge. LP: 8000...8000-6200-3400-800-0 Me vs Ricky[Beatdown
Twist.] This duelist was a challenge. As I drew nothing, he attacked me for
full strength until I pulled a little trap out called Magic Cylinder. The duel
was tied, but to my bad-luck-ness he flipped Penguin Soldier up, and abused his
effect, sending 2 of my monsters to my hand, and attacking.
LP:
8000-4600-1000-0...8000-4600 Me vs Ricky[2nd duel.] Now, here was the
challenge. I drew my Imperial Order and the trusty Cyber Jar, as I picked to go
1st. I set Cyber Jar down, and Imperial Order. And alas, he plays Raigeki. And I
flip I.O and MY Cyber Jar doesn't get destroyed. He decides to end turn, and I
flip my Jar over. I gained 4 monsters and a Raigeki in the process, as he gained
1 monster and it was a Magician of Faith. I lucked out, as my Harpie, La Jinn,
and Harpie Brother number 2 attacked free space. I decided to keep paying for
I.O. I ended turn, and he set nothing. I attacked for another free space, and
the game.
8000..8000-1600-0 Me vs Ricky[Final Duel.] Everyone was
looking on, as I was tremendously frustrated with my opponent. I drew Harpies
Brother with United We Stand and waited a turn. He looked on, and ended his turn
with 2 traps face down. I went to attack, and he flipped Fairy Box. He flipped
his coin, and called Heads, but it hit tails, and I attacked for another 2600.
And over and over again.
8000...8000-5400-2600-0
Bam! I was in the
semi finals, and my opponent: The 20 year old duelist, Ting.
Me vs
Ting[Exodia..non speed.] So, I drew a Card Destruction and a Cyber Jar this
duel. I played the C.D and set down Cyber Jar. I drew a vicious hand, with Kycoo
The Ghost Destroyer times 2, and Fairy Meteor Crush waited. He ended his turn,
as I saw 5 cards in his hand, I got worried. I checked his graveyard, and there
it was. The left leg of Exodia. Now was my chance. I attacked his Sangan and
gave LP loss, and took his Left Leg out of play. Too bad he didn't have Miracle
Dig.
Me vs Ting[Exodia..non speed.] Basically, the same thing
happened in the next match, except for the biggest con in Duel Monsters history.
I had set my Cylinder down, and he asked me if he was to Reborn his sangan, and
attack my Harpie Brother boosted by U.W.S, and draw Exodia. He decided to
attack, and BAM! I flipped Cylinder..I did feel sorry for him,
though.
And the finals!!!! It was hilarious, as the store champion had
lost to a newcomer. Haha! And now, it was the finals. I did it for the first
time in 4 weeks. Or 5. I dunno.
Me vs John[Even more blazing beatdown
than mine.] He basically mutilated me with his awesome hand. He played Change
of Heart and sacced for his Summoned Skull, with a Gemini Elf. Basical
mutilation. It happened the second duel too.
The excitement.
Well, except for the fact that my mom was quite mad since my time to depart the
store was 4:00, and it was 5, but it was worth it. We had to take Vasili home.
He ended up with a Gemini Elf..boo.
