Round 2 vs Beatdown Deck

Match 1: I got an early advantage over him and he drew some junk, like 2 fissures and all i had was witch and sangan on the field. I won with 8000 life points.

Match 2: He got a good start and started nailing me down. He then plays Kycoo and says 1800 and i was at 2200. He goes wait i call that back its under 10 seconds and plays goblin attack force. he then continues and shuffles his deck. I say im not letting u call that back and called a judge over. after like 10 min of arguing on his part. the head judge says we have to play match 2 over.

Replayed Match 2: I set him up for a yata lock and he concides when he saw yata come out.

 

Round 3 vs Tim(Winner of the event)Chaos Control

Match 1: went back and forth hit for hit. i got Spirit Reaper and Don Zaloog out and killed his hand. Next turn he set a D.D. warrior lady. I top decked a raigeki. I played Kycoo and attacked. I removed the 2 lights he had in the graveyard. He then pretty much lost cause he topdecked nothing.

Match 2: Went the same way match 1 went but alot more close, but the opposite way.I manged to topdeck a mirage of nightmare but his next draw was a mst.

Match 3: Was really close. I side decked in a Ceasefire and a Chaos Emperor Dragon.

I drew ceasefire first draw. I set it and played delinquent duo. I set a witch of the black forest and ended. He drew and set a fiber jar i actived ceasefire and i was like yes and he was like damn im screwed. The game was going good for me. I attacked for the win with witch and mystic tomatoe and he activates scapegoat. he was at 3400. I was like damn. he played reflect bounder and attacked my witch. I got scientist. I was at 6400. I had ring of destruction set for a turn and forgot about it. I play scientist pay 3000. get a ryu senshi and a dark balter and a thousand eyes restrict. i sucked his reflect bounder. i was like ill kill the 2 goats with the fusions and hes like thousand eyes restrict effect. i was like damn. i attacked a goat with thousand eyes restrict. looked at ring and was like oh thank you. i almost messed up. I ringed the thousand eyes restrict (hes now at 1700) and contiued to attack with a fusion then mystic tomatoe and magical scientist for the win exactly 1700.
