How the deck works:
Simply I use the method of Hand
advantage. As I use less cards to overwhelm my opponent, they end up
using more cards than me to counter attack. Soon they have no hand,
while my hand is fresh and ready to use when my turn starts again.
I play very quick, so it takes some time for my opponent to figure
out what just happened. I have many monster removal to keep them
from getting the field advantage. My Turkey (Sacred Phoenix of
Nephthys) is easy to summon to the field, thanks to my speed cards like
Apprentice and Hand of Nephthys. While they take the time to mess
with my Turkey, Envoy is summoned to my field to take the game to my
advantage.
I arrived Silver Bullet around 1:15 to get a good start
on who's entering and maybe do some trades. I did some warmups
before the tourney starts at 2. I was surprised not many ppl showed
up, but I spoke too soon. Some more arrived and then Josh
(judge/owner) decided to get the duelist's vote to either make the tourney
to win a box or just regular. A regular would mean that to get in is
$5 and 1st place takes 3 packs, 2nd place takes 2 packs, so forth.
But the $10 to enter is that 1st place wins a box. So we all agreed
to do the tournament for 1st place to win a box. So now let's
begin.

Match
#1
[Rich V.S. James]
Status: 0-0
~1st Round~
He pulled a Breaker,
lucky you. He runs an Exodia deck that has nothing but stall.
He stalls enough until he draws all pieces of Exodia. It went ok, I
started by playing Delinquent Duo and lower his hand. He then played
Solemn Wishes to gain 500 Life Points during each of his standy
phase. I had Blade Knight and Kycoo to take him down each turn.
Blade Knight to destroy, and Kycoo directly to remove monsters from the
grave. Even though he had Solemn Wishes, that extra 500 Life
points wasn't
enough.
Me:8000:7000
James:8000:8500:6700:7200:3800:4300:0
~2nd
Round~
We both exchange damage really good. I still had the upper
hand in having both field and hand advantage. It wasn't long before
I was declared winner for this match. Good Game.

#2
[Me V.S. Mitchell]
Status: 1-0
~1st Round~
He runs an Earth/Beast
deck. I started off with a good old Delinquent Duo. Then later
on, I flipped MoF over and got Delinquent again. He then got Enraged
to attack my f/d Sinister so I took some good damage. He snatch
steal my monster and then I played Goats to save my Life Points.
Then I played Heavy storm to destroy Snatch and the other f/d
card. Then later, I had my Turkey on the field, and that was
game.
Me:8000:7000:6000:4450:2650:3650
Mitchell:8000:7950:6150:6000:4400:3300:2300:0
~2nd
Round~
I attacked his f/d monster, and it reveal Nimble Mononga.
Then he only got 1 Nimble from his deck and shuffled. Then when I
ended, he set another card f/d and end. Then I summoned another
monster to the field, so I have two monsters to rid the field of two of
his monster in defense mode. The summoned monster is Hand of N. and
the other one is Kycoo I think I had on my field earlier. I knew
where Nimble is at so I had Hand of N. to attack it since it only has 100
Def and then I let Kycoo attack the other one. It was another
Nimble. So then later on, we both play Ring of Destruction and
that lowered his Life points, and then soon, I
won.

#3
[Me V.S. Peter]
Status: 2-0
~1st Round~
I saw him run a Burn
deck, so I was ready to watch out for my Life Points. First turn,
honors are mine. I played Delinquent on the first turn and took out
his hand. Then I set Magician of Faith and a f/d down, end. He
draws and then defend and sets a f/d card too, end. Then I flipped
over my Magician again and played Delinquent Duo once more. His
hand is empty. He he played something to stop my attack and I
kept getting hit with Birdie flip doing 1000 to me. Then later
on, it was bashing with Turkey
directly.
Me:8000:7000:6000:5000:4200:3000
Peter:8000:5000:2000:0
~2nd
Round~
Same as 1st Round. Except I didn't use Delinquent this
time.

#4 [Top 8]
[Me V.S. Jordan]
Status: 3-0 (Untouchable mode)
~1st
Round~
Ok first this was wierd, he said that he never won anything and
got a 0-3 while I have 3-0. What are the chances? Hmmm, well
every opponent whether they are good or not, I play my best. He uses
Burning Log guy that has 1850 attack and I ringed it. Then I got my
Turkey out with Hand of N. and it was over
quickly.
Me:8000:7100:5250
Jordan:8000:6000:4000:2800:950:0
~2nd
Round~
He went first and set 4 s/t cards down and summoned Otoclops I
think with 1800 ATK. I destroyed his monster and attack, but he
never responded with his 4 s/t cards. Then I got my Blade Knight on
the field and kept attacking him directly twice and then my Luster Soldier
came out and busted the field for my
win.

#5 [Top 4/Semi-finals]
[Me V.S. J]
Status: 4-0 (In the Zone mode)
~1st
Round~
Right now it's top 4 and I knew I need to shape up for this
match. This match went easy, as I had the upper hand with Card
advantage.
Me:8000:7000:5500
J:8000:6500:5000:2600:200:0
~2nd Round~
I
could not touch him in this round. I finally took alot of cards into
clearing his field and attack directly with Blade Knight. Then he
got Mataza on the field equipped with Axe of Despair, doing good damage to
my Blade Knight and then me directly. I had 3400 left, and I have
one monster on the field and he has Mataza. My hands were Enemy
Controller and Hand of N. I know I can play Enemy Controller and
take his Mataza, attack him twice with it. and then summon Hand of
N. and summon Turkey. But I forgot that you cannot control
swift Mataza, this was a huge bad move I just made. I simply
watch my monster be tributed for nothing. So I defend with Hand
of N. and ended my turn. He soon finished me
off.
Me:8000:7000:2400:3400:2100:0
J:8000:4600
~3rd
Round~
This went really really tough. I can remember everything
of what happened here. Well I summoned Turkey to the field and
I thought I had this game won. He then destroyed it and then
summon Jinzo to stop my traps, and then he removed Light and Dark to
summon his Luster to the field. Then he flipped his f/d Sinister to
do more damage. He attack me with all of his monster. I was
worried. I had 7200 and then it got me all the way down to
1500. Then I started, I draw. Then he said very quickly that
this is my Standby phase I'm going too, I said yes and I'll get back my
Phoenix to the field. Then he said ok, I'll play Book of Moon on
Jinzo. I was confused on his action, but then I proceed and summoned
my Phoenix to the field. Then he plays Ring of Destruction on his
Envoy to kill me off. Oh my goodness, this can't be. But then
I saw I had one last shot to do. That was my Torrential Tribute, I
played that to chain with the summoning on my Phoenix. With
that chain, all the monsters were destroyed with TT before Ring
resolved. After that, I won the duel barely. But then somehow
the ruling on that was messed up. I couldn't chain TT because it was
too late, it was already summoned to the field. Even if I played TT
when Phoenix was summoned, he could chain with RoD and I would still be
destroyed and he would have won. I think he understood and didn't
call a judge on that one to verify. So that's how I won that
one. Seriously, I had so much in my mind, that I didn't take the
time to really see what I've done. I thought I did it correctly, but
then later on when I thought of it, I made a valid move. I'm so
sorry that I did that to you. Next time, we both know about
this. You may win again next time when I face you, because now
we can get the rulings cleared out next time.

#5 [Final Match]
[Me V.S. Captain C.]
Status: 5-0 (Unfrickenbelieveable
mode)
~1st Round~
He's running a Dark Magician deck. I'm not sure
what happened, he Nobleman of Crossout on my f/d Magician of Faith,
so we pretty much screwed up our Light fodders. Then he drew a card
and looked at his graveyard and said I end. I knew it was
Luster. So I let my Phoenix attack for game. Then I said show
me your hand. He revealed that it was Black Luster Soldier.
Then, I revealed to him that I had Black Luster in my hand as
well.
Me:8000:6100
Cap:8000:6000:4100:0
~2nd Round~
I don't
know, he made a terrible mistake here. He asked about Phoenix's
effect one more time to be sure and I think he understood. Then he
had no monsters on the field to protect him so he set a card, played
Swords of Revealing Light and then summoned Exiled to destroy my Phoenix
and ended. Then I said, you remember what happens when Phoenix is
destroyed by card effect? Then it clicked into his head that he made
a mistake. Gobble Gobble is back and took care of his
Swords. Then I summoned another monster and attack directly for
game.

Well
my win count is 6-0, so I was undefeated and came in 1st place. The
prize is getting a YGO box, but then all they had was Dark
Revelations. He said that next week that there will be more boxes in
stock. I said ok, I'll come by next week and pick up my prize.
Of course, I'm going to get FET so I can pull an Silent Swordsman LV
5.
