Okay, this is my first tourney report. This is like my 7th tournament that I have been to. I brought a friend along named Phil (who!&s last name is also Liu). I like to say this: Phil-oo flew over a fence. He!&s really annoyed by it. He has a decent deck but I think mine is better. Anyway, we paid the fee. Both of us got LOD packs. He got a Thunder Nyan Nyan and I got a Fiend Skull Dragon (Yeah! More trading bait). Before the tournament starts. Some kid offers Phil a Mirror Force for $15. What a deal! He accepts and hurriedly shoves it in his deck. This kid also gives me a free Opticlops (cool a 2nd one). I chill out and do a couple of friendly duels. In a few minutes the tournament begins. Perfect, 16 people. There are no byes for anyone. Here is my deck:

Round 1
Me vs. Roger

This person is my ultimate rival. This is my 5th time facing him. I can never beat him. He runs a machine/beatdown deck that is soooo good. He also must be rich because he has a Morphing Jar and 3 Mechanicalchasers.

Duel 1

My starting hand is okay. I have Man-Eater, Call of Haunted, Waboku, MoF, and a second Waboku (I swapped a card for this before the duel). I set a Man-Eater Bug down in defense mode. Set Call of the Haunted and 2 Wabokus. He draws. Summons Robotic Knight and attacks me. I kill him with effect. He sets down 3 M/T. I draw. Summon Kycoo and attack. He uses Magic Cylinder. He draws. Summons Mechanicalchaser and kills my Kycoo. I draw. Set 7 Tools. Use Call of the Haunted on Kycoo. Then tribute it for Summoned Skull and attack him. He uses Limiter Removal. Ouch! Mech chaser is dead at his turn. He draws. Uses Monster Reborn on my Summoned Skull, summons another Mech Chaser and attacks me. Luckily I had Seven Tools and Waboku down. I use Waboku. He uses 7 Tools. I chain with my 7 Tools. I draw. I use the Pot of Greed. I get Raigeki and Skull Lair. Set Skull Lair. I use Raigeki and he uses Imperial Order on it. I set MoF. He draws and doesn!&t pay the 700. He gets a Spear Dragon in attack mode. He attacks with it. I Waboku it. MoF. I take back Raigeki. I draw. Use Graceful Charity. I get Gemini, Sinister, and Creature Swap. I lose Sinister and Jirai Gumo that was in my hand. Change MoF to attack mode. I use Creature Swap (hehehe). I give him MoF and I take Summoned Skull. I summon Gemini Elf. I attack the MoF with Summoned Skull. Then I attack Mech Chaser with Gemini. Major damage. He draws. Dark Hole. Summons his 3rd Mech Chaser. Attacks me directly. My turn, draw. Play Raigeki. Monster Reborn my Kycoo (for his effect. Attack and remove 2 from his graveyard. He draws. Sets a monster in defense mode and ends. I draw. Summon Spear Dragon. Attack his facedown card. It is Fiber Jar (shoot). We both shuffle and draw 5. I set down Magic Cylinder and Magic Jammer. He draws. Plays Harpie!&s Feather Duster. I chain w/ Magic Jammer. Discard my Opticlops. He summons a Bazoo. Power him to 1900 and attacks. I Magic Cylinder. He sets down 4 M/T (scary) and ends. I draw. Play CoH on Bazoo. I!&m lucky he didn!&t have Imperial Order down. Tribute it for Jinzo and attack for the win.

Me:
8000-6200-6150-4950-3950-2100
Him:
8000-7000-4700-4650-3250-1350-0

Whew. That was hard. I!&m surprised I beat him.

Duel 2

Basically something just like the first duel but I was down to the 100s and I barely eked out a win. Yay! I beat him.

Round 2
Me vs. Stuart

This guy has a decent modified beatdown. I!&m not scared of him like I am against Roger. Everyone was surprised that I won against Roger. This guy wasn!&t too hard. I won both duels. I can!&t remember what happened though. It was pretty easy. In the meantime during the duel I was going psycho at Phil because he won his 2nd round because the other guy forfeited. Oh, and that happened to be the guy that sold him a Mirror Force for $15. He quit because he wanted to buy a Jinzo tin with another kid and split it.

Round 3
Me vs. Phil

Why do I have to face my friend? Oh well. Time for him to lose.

Well I don!&t remember much because all my concentration was going into the first round. He won the first round by a lot. Then I came back, barely won. 3rd duel I barely won again with 1200 Life Points remaining. Ouch! He!&s good under pressure.

Round 4
Me vs. Jeff
I won first duel, he won second duel. I barely lost to him on the last. I only remember right before I lost. He used Feather Duster and I didn!&t chain with RoD on my Summoned Skull. That would have brought him to 450 Life Points. I think I would have lost anyways. Oh well.

Anyways I chilled out a while. I traded Jeff my Rope of Life for a Forceful Sentry. A bunch of people were playing Magic. It was fun.
