Match 1
Me vs. Chris (Kid with the Bakura deck)

This is a tough one, because before the tournement, I read his Report on the site and I was worrying. Anyway, I went first and had a hand of Rope, Glider, Flute, Tyrant Dragon, and Dragon Dwelling in Cave. I drew Lord of D. and summoned it, following up with Flute, summoning Glider and Tyrant. I ended my turn and he summoned Opticlops and took out my Lord of D. I went and drew Coffin Seller. I set that and Rope along with DDC. I attacked with Glider and Tyrant attacked directly. He went and set a monster and played Spiritualism, returning my Rope. He ended and I drew LOD Luster Dragon. I sacked my DDC and summoned LD and attacked his monster, being a Headless Knight. Then Tyrant and Glider attacked directly for game.

LP: Me: 8000/7400
       Chris: 8000/7400/4500/2100/0

Round 2 was a bit harder. He went first and summoned Nuvia, destroying it. Then he set two cards and ended. I drew and had 2 MFC Lusters, Dragon Treasure, Axe, Behemoth, and Glider. I summoned a Luster and equipped it with Axe and DT, making its ATK 3200. He activated his Windstorm of Etaqua, swapping Luster to DEF. I was so pissed (excuse my French)!!! I ended my turn and he set a monster with one more card. I drew Rope and set it. I summon my other Luster, change my powered Luster to ATK,  and have my not powered Luster attack, revealing Gross Ghost. I then attack with my powered Luster, only to fall victim to Dark Spirit of the Silent, only inflicting 1900 points of damage. He went and set another monster and activated his face down card, Dark Designator. He declared Seiyaryu, which wasn't in my deck. I draw and found Coffin Seller. I set it and sacked my not-powered Luster for Glider. I attack with Glider, revealing Portrait. I then attack with Luster. He draws and sacks his Fiends for Necrofear, following with a set monster. Necrofear was in DEF so he activated Continuous Destruction Punch. I knew what I had to do. I draw Spear Dragon and attack Necrofear with Glider. It may have cost me a monster, along with 400 LP, but Glider's effect let's me return a monster to my opponent's hand. I chose Necrofear. I attack with Spear Dragon, revealing Headless Knight. I follow up with Luster. Game.

LP: Me: 8000/7600
       Chris: 8000/6100/2900/2700/0

Match 2
Me vs. Tom (Machine Deck)

This guy claims to be the true "Machine Master", but I proved him wrong.

I went first and had Troop Dragon, Paladin of WD, BEWD, REBD, and Rope. I draw and pulled WD Ritual. I activated it, sacking REBD. I then sack PWD and summon the Blue-Eyes in my hand. I then end my turn. He draws and sets a monster. I draw and summon Troop Dragon and set Coffin Seller, which I drew. I attack with Blue-Eyes, revealing Oni Tank T-34. I ended my turn (why bother doing 700 damage). He draws and sets a monster and one other card. I draw Monster Reborn, which I used on PWD. I attack with it, finding Overdrive. I then attack with Blue-Eyes. I sack PWD on Main Phase 2 to summon my other Blue-Eyes from my deck. He draws and summons Cannon Soldier and activates Ultimate Offering. He sacks 2000 LP for 4 Machines, I forget which ones. He then sacks all 5 monsters for major damage. BIG MISTAKE!!! I draw Behemoth and attack with both Blue-Eyes for game.

LP: Me: 8000/5500
       Tom: 8000/5000/2000/0

Round 2
This was as easy as the first round. It's not even worth putting up.

Match 3
Me vs. Craig (fellow Dragon Duelist)

This was an interesting match. Dragon vs. Dragon.

He went first and activated Cost Down (from Dark Crisis, yes bought off the net). He then summoned LOD Luster, equipping it with two Axes (gulp...) I looked at my hand and found a piece of resistance, Change of Heart. I draw and activated CoH and summoned MFC Luster, equipping it with Pendant, DT, and Axe. This was an easy win.

LP: Me: 8000
       Craig: 8000/3600/0

Round 2
He went first again. He summoned Winged Dragon, GOF #1 and ended. I drew and had 2 Troop Dragons, Yamadron, and all 3 Lusters (LOD and MFC). I summoned MFC Luster and attacked. That about ended it because he had to go home to go to a birthday party. Oh well. Maybe next time I'll duel him.

LP: Me: 8000
       Craig: 8000/7500/Forfeit

Semis
Me vs. David (F/S Beatdown)

Man, I HATE these kinds of decks. Especially since Gemini Elf, Opticlops, Lily, etc. are out there.

I went first and had Axe, Pendant, DT, Cave Dragon, Mountain, and drew LOD Luster. I summoned CD and activated all my Magic cards. Cave Dragon now had an attack of 4000!!! He went and set a monster. I drew MFC Luster and summoned it. I attacked with Luster and found a La Jinn. I then attacked with Cave Dragon. He went and summoned Lily. I'm like WTF. He pays the 2000 LP and attacks Luster. I then draw Raigeki. I play it and end my turn, since Cave Dragon can't attack. He sets a monster and I draw Gray Wing. I summon it and attack, finding Neo. I then attack with CD for game.

LP: Me: 8000/6500
       David: 8000/4000/2000/0

Round 2
He ran to the john during preparation. The judge gave him two minutes. If he wasn't back, he was disqualified. He returned three mintues later, giving me the chance to go for the gold again.

Finals
Me vs. Tim (Fusion Deck)

This guy had Fusion Gate, Meta, etc.

He went first and activated Fusion Gate. He then sacked Zombyra and Maryokutai for LWoAP. I went and set a monster. He set a card and attacked. I had no other moves to make, since Troop Dragon wasn't able to get the effect. I passed and got hit throughout the duel.

LP: Me: 8000/(I'm to lazy to put down the decreasements)
       Tim: 8000

Round 2

I got attacked all over. This kid's to good I'm too embarassed to put down the details.

Well, I got second and won 3 packs of TP4. I pulled Royal Decree, Megamorph, and Morphing Jar for the rares.

Props:

Craig, for liking Dragons

you, for reading

Slops:

Tim, for being in the john for too long

me, for losing
