The weekly local Brookhaven, MS Tournament at the Computer Place was held this Saturday,
June 10. It has been a while since I competed in a tournament (being a dad takes things out of
ya). So I finally broke down and made time to go. I hoped it would be quick and painless for all
those envolved, but it was not to be. Evil Casey had once again reared his head, but he was not
sporting his machines. No no, this time he had a ritual summon deck with Relinquished and
Demise. Raphael was there with the Cyber Dragon deck we have all come to know and love (to
throw in front of a moving zamboni) but I digress. Brandon brought the heros and even Danny
Boy Friss showed up sporting his own version of E-Zeros (sp).

My best build to date. Unfortunately, it is not the most original of decks. But I did add some of my
own flare to it. The IFL is a great game ender, other than that, it is pretty much Cookie Cutter to
the Core. Oh well, its fun. TO THE DUELS!

Round 1
Vs. Andrew (Hinds 57 Deck, there is a little bit of everything)
Lots of lucky hits right off the bat, and my deck cannot seem to bounce back. After much jockeying for possition, I FINALLY get to hit him a bit. At 4400 to 5200 it happens. I have Zaborg and Last Will in my hand, a Spirit Reaper on the field, and he has a monster FD and no backfield. I tribute for Zaborg killing his monster, the play Last Will and Summon IFL. I attack both directly and pay the 2000LP to hit for 7800 total points of damage. Good game Andrew. NEXT!

1:0

Round 2
Vs. Michael (LV Deck)
Swapping licks with the bottom of the barrel. My Spirit Reaper keeps the LP ok'ed and a Treeborn Frog keeps tribute bait coming. He manages to get Insect LV3 (I think) on the field, but it is abruptly Bottomless Trapholed. He does keep me guessing though. With high attack monsters like Luster Dragon and the like, I really had to be careful to keep the LP's up. At 4800 to 7200 I get Zaborg and clear his field knocking him to 4800. He sets 2 S/T and ends. I special summon Treeborn and tribute for Jinzo attacking with both for game. Good game and on the match-up I dread.

2:0

Round 3
Vs. Raphael (Cyber Dragon Deck)
I must state that I think Raphael had a bad hand, but there are no mulligans in Yu Gi Oh. Anyway back to the duel. He set 1 and 1. Standard opening. I Nobleman his set Light Hex Seal and summon my own spirit reaper and attack him for 300 discarding a Shining Angel, much to his dismay. He sets another monster and a Trap. I draw another Nobleman and remove his Spirit Reaper. Then I turn my Spirit Reaper in defense and set a Bottomless Trap Hole (I am scared of his deck's Cyberness *squeels like a school girl*) He does special a Cyber Dragon that just keeps falling and falling and falling and falling due to the Bottomless Trap Hole I opened under his shiney metallic butt. He sets yet again. I tribute for Zaborg and kill the FD Spririt Reaper and attack a FD Monster. He playes Shallow Grave, and we both get a Spirit Reaper FD. I tribute for Zaborg and kill the FD Spririt Reaper and attack a FD Monster. He Premies his Shining Angel and then Giant Trunades, playing Premie again on something, I dunno I wasn't paying attention, but he cannot get his monsters through my Reaper. He sets another monster and ends. I play 2 smashing grounds and tribute for Zaborg. I attack him at 8000 to 6100 (after a reaper hit and 2 Premies) to get him to 3700. He Compulsary Evacuates my Zaborg and sets a monster. I special a Treeborn from the graveyard and tribute for Zaborg killing his FD and hitting him down to 1300. He Call of the Haunted his Shining Angel and ends, I attack his Shining Angel with Zaborg and he is down to 300. He draws and ends. He falls. 8000 to 0. Good game.

3:0

Round 4
Vs. Frankey (Hinds 57)
Not much to type here. He goes first, standard 1 and 1. I Special Cyber Dragon, Tribute for Zuborg and Premie Cyber Dragon. I hit him with both to get him to 3500. He sets no monster, just 2 S/T and ends. I tribute Cyber Dragon for Jinzo and attack for game. NEXT!!

4:0

Now I wait. I had managed to stay out of The Path of Hades, also known as the loser's bracket, and assured myself a finals bid. I watched with silent anxiety as Raphael climbed his way out. BUT! He fell. HE FELL AGAIN! He was beaten by none other than Dr. Zoidberg Nerveball (Brandon)! and his E-Heros. A Stein Cyberdragon deck beaten by E-Heros. Granted, the good Doctor got the GOD hand of all hands. He was able to summon by third turn Flare Wingman, Bladedge, and Sangan. He smacked Raphael around. But no discredit to Raphael. Just really good hand management on the Doctors part.

Evil Casey and the Doctor match up and Evil Casey falls due to a card error. He forgot that Deal with the Abyss requires an EXACT star sacrifice to use. So no Relinquished. He falls to the floor rything in pork grease as The Holy Pork Chop of the E-Heros plunges deep into his soul and renders it moosh. Unfortunately, I never got to play him. "Alas poor Casey, I knew him well". BACK TO ME!

Brandon faced off against Frankey and had barely gotten comfortable when it was over. Brandon got up victorious and moved on to the Finals against ME!!

Final Round!
Vs. Dr. Zoidberg Nerveball (E-Heros)
The finals were a bit anti-climactic to speak of. Good hand advantage and summoning both Zaborg and Jinzo led to a pretty clean and short. But Zoidberg and I have never dueled in the finals before and I am glad to say he fought hard to get debunking some of the mythos revolving around E-Heros. He made some of the greats shift in their seat and play more aggressively just stay alive. Well done Doctor.

5:0

Props.
Of course props to Mr. Freels for keeping the tourney going and for suggesting another Wednesday tourney during the summer, and to all that attended.
For all the good trades I got (Traded E-Hero Shining Phoenix Enforcer for Raviel. Though I wouldn't call it a trade exactly, I gave him a Phoenix Enforcer last Wednesday, and he gave me Raviel today. Its a good relationship we got here, but I don't think I am ready for marriage or anything).
To Daniel Friss for getting a OTK with Cybernetic Magician, 3 cards, and Scapegoats :)

Slops.
None really. Not getting to Pork Chop Evil Casey is always a downer. I did play him after the tourney and beat him there, but its kinda like making a hole in one AFTER the round is over.

Well that just about does it for me and the other goof offs down here south society but north of hickville in Brookhaven, MS. To find us, just go south, and if ya hit Cuba, you've gone too far.
