Onto the 1st tourney!!
This time there was more people than usual, last Saturday's there had only
been
8 people for the tourney, this time we were 16!!!
I'm glad more people are starting to test their skills in an event like
this.
The tourney was organized like in a sporting event, 4 groups of 4 people
each,
the best two of each group qualify for finals.

Group 1: Ursula, Guy with glasses, Kaiwa, Me (Giancarlo/Sano)

Round 1:
Sano (Beatdown/Control) Vs. Ursula (Spellcaster)

The only girl in the tourney, she had quite a powerful spellcaster deck with
cards not yet released in english such as Dimension Magic (Quickplay Spell
Card
- If there's a face up spellcaster on your side of the field, offer one
monster
as a tribute to special summon any spellcaster type monster from your hand,
then you can destroy one monster on the field) which I really hate!!!
In the first game I was hit by Kycoo twice, she removed my Reaper and Slate
Warrior, I thought I'd lose but when I summoned Airknight I began to rise
again!
In the end I Snatched her Magical Marionnette (used two counters to kill her
face down Apprentice yay!), summoned Berserk and attacked for victory!!
In the second game I was scared when she said : "I remove one light and one
dark monster", but fortunately it wasn't BLS but Sorcerer... she removed
Slate
again :S In the end I once again turned the tides to my favor and hit for
game!
Sano (1-0)

Round 2:
Sano (Beatdown/Control) Vs. Guy with glasses (Wind Beatdown Deck)

I understimated this guy whose name I never asked... I won the match but
I almost got a heart attack when he used Trunade and Vortex to clean up
the field then activated Rising Air Current and attacked me with a 2300
Harpie's Brother!!! He almost got me, I guess I understimated him because
most of his monsters were effectless powerhouses (Harpie's bro, luster
dragon).
Sano (2-0)

I had already qualified for finals by winning these two matches, still I had
one more rival in my group!!

Round 3:
Sano (Beatdown/Control) Vs. Kaiwa (Relinquished/Chaos Deck)

A nice duel indeed, since I had already qualified I took it easy; Ursula was
expecting me to win though because I had to beat Kaiwa so she could make it
to
finals!
In the first game I was trampling a few goats with Battle ox, then he
summoned
Manju and used Black illusion ritual, absorved Enraged and hit me, next turn
I
summoned Sinister and metamorphosis for TER, it was funny to see a TER
equipped
with a Relinquished :P I kept Stalling a bit and in the end I won with
Jinzo,
I never saw his BLS.
Second game was almost the same, I ended up winning.
Sano (3-0)

Finals!!!

Finals 1:
Sano (Beatdown/Control) Vs. Guy with Fiend Deck (Fiend Deck)

I had never seen this guy before, where did he come from?? Anyways this was
quite a duel for us. In the first game i remember I managed to have Mobius,
Kycoo and Breaker, he was topdecking, he set a card, my turn I attacked with
Mobius, he used return from different dimension, to summon all fiends
removed
for necrofear i stopped my attack, his turn, topdecking again, set a card,
my turn i attacked again... Waboku... his turn, set a monster, I Noc'ed it
next turn and attacked for game!!
In the second game I was about to lose because he used Barrel Behind the
Door
when I ringed his Giant Orc (4400 :S) and even used Ceasefire leaving me
almost with 0 life points!! I morphed a goat and took his Ha Des, I attacked
he got it, next turn I NoC'ed a Cyber Jar and attacked, I set a Solemn
Judgement, next turn he set a M/T and a monster , in my draw phase he
activated
Ring on TER, but I paid half my life points with Solemn... (that was close)
and negated it, he was at 600 LP i was at 450 LP :S I tributed TER for
Parshath
and trampled his face down Newdoria for game!!! :D
Sano (4-0)

Finals 2:
Sano (Beatdown/Control) Vs. Another guy I'd never seen (Dimension Fusion
Deck)

This guy had a deck with BLS, Bazoo's and the usual stuff for a Dimension
Deck,
I got Pot and Duo first hand and I won the coin flip so I decided to start,
I
used pot which gave me sinister and Graceful (:P) I used graceful, don't
remember what I discarded apart from sinister, used duo and got his burial
and
DMoC, I set a Magician of Faith and activated swords.
His turn he set a M/T and a monster, my turn, i flipped MoF and used Duo
again
then NoC'd his Face down Reaper, I had no other monsters so I attacked with
MoF.
He was topdecking and soon I eventually won (There was a great difference in
hand size).
Something funny happened in the next match, before it began I shuffled my
deck,
side decked both Compulsories and I swear I really shuffled it well. I
offered
him my deck so he could cut it but he said: "No that's ok"
I drew and got MoF and Duo again!! (no Pot this time), he started, he set a
M/T
and summoned DD Warrior Lady, my turn I used Duo got his Ring and a monster
I
don't remember then I set MoF and Book of Moon. His turn he attacked I
booked
his DD, my turn I flipped MoF and used Duo again (he was really pissed off,
his
friend beside him was laughing) I NoC'd DD, used Heavy and destroyed his
face
down Torrential, then I summoned Reaper and attacked with it and MoF, he
discarded the only card he had in hand (Bazoo).
Later he topdecked a BLS and summoned it but I had a Solemn Judgement and
paid
3000 LP to negate it!! I eventually won again thanks to Duo!!
Sano (5-0)

The Final Game:
Sano (Beatdown/Control) Vs. Alex -AKA: Chico Mago- (Spellcaster)

An old friend, I've dueled him since I was a noob with my LOB Celtic
Guardian!!
In the first game he used Duo in his first turn and Graceful too, I thought
I'd
lose but a Graceful of mine allowed me to keep surviving, until I got ahead
in
the game and won with Goblin and Jinzo!!
Something curious happened when side decking, he said he had been playing
with
38 cards!! His Skilled Dark and his Dark Magician were combined with his
side
deck, the organizer told me that he could disqualify Alex if I wanted, but I
refused, after all we're friends and well I thought "if he beats me what the
heck, he's a great player" so we continued the duel.
The second game came to its climax when I had both Jinzo and Parshath on my
side of the field and a set book of moon, he had a goat.
His turn he drew Pot and used it, then he removed one light and one dark mon
and summoned Chaos Sorcerer, I was waiting for him to use the Sorcerer's
priority to remove a monster but he didn't and instead summoned Breaker to
which I quickly responded by booking his Chaos Sorcerer, that way he
wouldn't
remove anything!! He got a frowning look realising his mistake, then he used
Burial and revived Chaos Command Magician, he suicided it with Jinzo and
Breaker with Parshath and ended his turn, I drew a Kycoo summoned it, Noc'd
Sorcerer and attacked the remaining goat, I set a Card Destruction and
ended.
His turn, he had two cards in hand, he set a monster and ended, my turn I
drew
Metamorphosis and I had a Heavy Storm. I used my face down Card Destruction
and
got Exiled Force and MST, I exiled his face down Apprentice (:D), set MST
and
attacked directly with Kycoo, his turn he drew Snatch and used it, I MST'ed
and
then he conceded the game to me!! :D The other card in his hand was another
Chaos Command Magician!

So I won the tourney and as a prize I chose a super rare Lightning Vortex
and
a rare Compulsory Evacuation Device, Alex got a Ceasefire from PSV.

Pros:
- I won the tourney!!
- I didn't lose a single game!!
- Lightning Vortex!!
- Alex disqualified the Zombie Deck that beat me the last tourney!!
- Duo, MoF, NoC, Solemn Judgement!!!! They rocked!!! And still rock!!
- I didn't mention this earlier but my girlriend was with me all the time
supporting me and saw me win, thanks Martha I love U!!! :D

Cons:
- Alex used 38 cards in the first game of the Final, perhaps things would've
been different had he not made such mistake... :S
- I did't eat anything in the whole afternoon I ended up with a stomach
ache...

Onto the 2nd tourney!!

The deck I used is the same except I changed Smashing Ground for Vortex,
that
Smashing Ground ended in my Side Deck (I replaced it for one Wave-Motion
cannon)

Again 16 people, tourneys are getting better each time!!

Group 2: Daniel, Guy with Fiend Deck, Kaiwa, Me (Giancarlo/Sano)

Round 1:
Sano (Beatdown/Control) Vs. Daniel (Spellcaster)

This one was kinda boring, all I remember was trampling goats with Enraged,
I
used Vortex on a Skilled Dark and a Kycoo and well I won in the end.
The second game was almost the same, anyways on to the next game!
Sano (1-0)

Round 2:
Sano (Beatdown/Control) Vs. Guy with Fiend Deck (Fiend Deck)

I faced him last tourney and again I didn't ask for his name!! :S
Well we were once again even at life points, he used ring on my Mobius and
then
Barrel Behind the Door and I was... Ouch... anyways I managed to win the
first
game thanks to Kycoo and a Ha Des I Snatched :D
In the second game he got me... I mean I didn't expect that move, I wouldn't
have been able to stop it anyways... It was my turn, I had a Sinister in
face
up defense position, in my standby phase he activated Return from different
Dimension, summmoning his Cyber Jar and Sinister that I had Noc'ed I was
kinda
confused by that move, well I set Scapegoats and ended. In my end phase he
activated Ceasefire (I had 1500 Lp left!!) and lost...
The third game went on rather quickly, i remember he summoned Possesed Dark
Soul and offered it to take control of my Sangan and 2 goats... anyways in
the
end I prevailed!!!
Sano (2-0)

Round 3:
Sano (Beatdown/Control) Vs. Kaiwa (Relinquished/Chaos Deck)
Again I was facing this guy Kaiwa, the funniest move in the duel was his.
I had a TER with a Manju equipped, then he used Black Illusion Ritual,
summoned Relinquisehd and absorbed TER!!! hahaha really funny!! :P
In the final game he was topdecking, I had 2 cards in hand, he set a M/T.
My turn I had a Kycoo and tributed for Parshath, I attacked and won because
his
set card was Goats!! :D
Sano (3-0)

Again I qualified for the finals, this time my girlfriend couldn't come to
see
me but anyway I did my best but lost in the next match...

Finals 1:
Sano (Beatdown/Control) Vs. Victor (Dimension Fusion Deck)

This was not the same guy I beat in the other tourney, Victor is a very good
duelist, i hadn't played him in a long time, and now we faced each other in
the
tourney, last week i beat his girlfriend Ursula (guess he got a grudge
against
me for that :P).
In the first game I was blocked by his Reapers and his Marshmellon (a
japanese
card restricted to one per deck: LIGHT Fairy/Effect Lv-3 300/500 This
monster
is not destroyed as a result of battle anytime, although damage calculation
is applied normally. When this card is attacked while in face down defense
position, inflict 1000 points of direct damage to your opponnents life
points).
I don't know where the two NoC I run were... and my battle ox and parshath
oh
well... Still I managed to NoC a face down Reaper (that was in mid game) and
attack a goat with Lily and direct with a prematured Berserk, I had to pay
2500
life points though to negate a Waboku, that's why I didn't attack directly
with
Lily -_- Anyways later on he summoned BLS and beat me after he had Trunaded
to
clear the field.
In the second game he beat me with quite a surpising move, I was at 6500 and
he
was at 5000 I flipped MoF and brought Pot he chained Waboku (I had a Jinzo
in
hand :S) I tributed for Mobius and destroyed his other 2 M/T on the field...
(another Waboku and a Goats which he didn't activate) he had a MoF in attack
position but i couldn't do anything for that damned Waboku, apart from MoF I
had 2 goats, I set Mirror, Card Destruction and another card and ended.
in my end phase he activated Call for Dark Magician of Chaos and brought
back
Giant Trunade, in his turn he used Giant Trunade, DMoC was removed from
game,
then he used metamorphosis on MoF and summoned TER, he abserbed a Goat then
set a few cards and ended. In my turn I set Mirror, Ring and I set a
Sinister,
I ended. I ringed his TER in his draw phase, he uses another Giant Trunade
:S
and summons BLS in defense, he removes my face down sinister, then he
tributes
BLS for Parshath and attacks a goat, he draws a card... After that he asked
me
how many cards I had in hand I answered "7 cards", he counted my graveyard,
removed from game pile, everything, after setting a M/T he used Card
Destruction, I drew 7 cards and was about to lose by depletion, then he
activated his set card... Dimension Fusion, he dropped to 3000 and summoned
DMoC returning Card Destruction which he activated again and I lost by
deck-out!
:( I couldn't defend my champ's title, well I'll do my best next tourney,
I'll
keep you informed!!

Pros:
- I qualified for finals witohut losing a single game!
- My friend Manuel won the tourney beating Victor in the finals (thus
avenging
me!!! :D )
- Manuel's deck was a LV Armed Dragon Deck, it was so cool to see such a
deck
winning the tourney!! :D
- I got to use Vortex!!

Cons:
- I lost by deck-out! :(
- My girlfriend couldn't come this time!!! -_-
- Giant Trunade and Waboku really screwed me... my Mirror Force just kept
bouncing back!!
