Deck Name: Deaths Cold Touch My Name: Justin Caron Tourny Local: Zimmie's City/State: Lewiston, Maine Date:11 Jan 03 # of Participants:47 (Small store, so it was REALLY crowded) Rank:3rd Round Deck: Cards: 42 Monster: Normal/Tribute: 2 Labyrinth Wall (This maze has you locked in) Normal: 1 Giant Soldier of Stone (Heavy Defense sometimes required) 1 Mystical Elf (Ha Ha! no Trap Hole for you!) Effect: 2 Magician of Faith (You know, I'm only supposed to have 3 Final Flame in here how'd 5 happen?) 2 Man-Eater Bug (My best buddies in the entire game) 2 Morphing Jar #2 (Should I feel sorry for you because you just lost half your deck?... Nahhh) 1 Witch of the Black Forest (My Morphing Jars enjoy comming up faster than you might want) 2 Mask of Darkness (Just Deserts is gonna do another 1000 to you hahaha!) 3 Cannon Soldier (You've lost the duel, and all cause I threw a monster at you bwahahaha!) 1 Princess of Tsurugi (Next time you'll set less in your magic/trap zone) 1 Spear Cretin (I'm sorry, did my Labyrinth wall just come back to bite you?) 1 Giant Germ (Yeah go ahead and attack, you're taking damage for doing so) 1 Jirai Gumo (Defensive, Offensive wall) Magic/Trap Speed 2: 2 Attack and Receive (You hurt me and take 700 and 300 more!) 1 Just Deserts (Your lesson in summoning today is not to do so many of them) 1 Dust Tornado (I just can't let you negate all my magic) 1 Minor Goblin Official (Draw and take damage, my turn, rinse, repeat) 1 Gravity Bind (No more attack for you) Speed 1: 3 Ookazi (Why, you've taken 2400 already, and I haven't attacked you, poor baby) 1 Dark Hole (And now I nuke both our monsters!) 1 Monster Reborn (I see you have Blue Eyes in your graveyard, it's mine now) 3 Final Flame (My goodness your life points can't be feeling the greatest) 3 Hinotama (Black outs will be occuring in your life points in the next couple of turns) 1 Tremendous Fire (Just when you thought I'd only pinprick you all duel long I just had to end it) 1 Last Will (hey look I have a free Labyrinth Wall) 1 Pot of Greed (Ha! Ha! I'm gonna end the duel now with my recently aquired Tremendous Fire) 1 Horn of Light (My Labyrinth Wall now has 3800 defense) This was my first time dueling without my Anoying Deck, but it proved to be even better than I had hoped. No one at the tournament runs burners, and no one expected my deck to change as much as it did (I'd usually move out a few monsters in favor of another for my Anoying Deck) but this was a complete change, and it cought my second opponent off guard. Match 1: Death's Cold Touch vs. Dark Magician/Magic Hat's Duel 1: Winner, Me Life Point Satus of me: 8000>7000 Life Point Status of Opp: 8000>7000>6200>4200>3200>2700>2200>1900>1100>600>0 Move Review: This kid had a well built deck. He won the coin toss (I'm winless in the coin toss area) and decided to go first. He set a bunch of magic/traps and also played the Dark Elf in attack mode. I played my Pot of Greed and drew another Hinotama to go with the one that I had in my hand. I splated his life and then set my Giant Soldier of Stone. On his next turn he set a monster and passed his turn off to me (Ummm, face down, dare not attack or something?) for my next turn I got crapped on and only drew Last Will. For his move he played another monster on the field then used Magical Hat's (And the point was????) After doing that he ended his turn. I drew Ookazi and used it, then tributed my Soldier for my wall. He tributed two of his monsters to summon a Dark Magicain and ended his turn. On my turn I got Gravity Bind, yeah! I set it and passed. He used the Dark Hole he had set on the field at the begging of the game (Sure, I can see that you're a rookie now) then reborned his Dark Magician, he attacked and I played Gravity Bind. On my next turn I got a Magician of Faith, I set her and had him go. He used his Change of Heart and brought back Monster Reborn to use on his Dark Elf. I got, and Summoned, Mystical Elf in defense mode. For his turn he summoned a White Magical Hat to the field and used his Remove Trap that had been there since, wouldn't you know it, the start of the duel! He then used hit Dark Elf to attack (Oh look nothing happens to me AND you lose 1000 life) He then killed my Elf with his Darky and hit my life with the Hats.... sure deal, I haven't a hand. I drew Cannon Soldier and used Last Will, then tributed Cannon Soldier to pull out Labyrinth Wall in Defense mode, and he took 500 Direct. He then played magic/trap face down and ended his turn. I drew my Minor Goblin Official (This duel was about to end). On his turn I played my Official, now he hadn't a choice but to lose. It got back to me with him doing nothing, I got Morphing Jar #2 and set it. He powered up his Dark Magician with Yami and attacked my Labyrinth Wall (? Sure go ahead) To make this slightly shorter, I got nothing but direct damage in my remaining turns and blew him appart. Duel 2:Winner, Him Life Point Status of me: 8000>7500>6500>2100>0 Life Point Status of Opp: 8000>6400>4900>4400>3900>3400 Move Review: For why I don't know but I don't remember much about my final two duels against this kid, maybe it was because I was anticipating my next duel too much?? Any way, I had Tremdous Fire and Final Flame in my opener. Other than that move I got stomped, he got his big monsters out and I couldn't get my Walls out to save me, simply put, Death wasn't on my side. Duel 3:Winner, Me Life Point Status of me: 8000>7500>6650 Life Point Status of Opp: 8000>6400>5900>5450>4450>3450>2750>2250>250>0 Move Review: Like I said, I don't remember much about this one either. I started, yeah! I oppened with a Tremendous Fire and Final Flame (Shuffle in my favor?) I do remember getting my Man-Eater Bug to attack his life. He responded by Reborning a Dark Magician and attacking but I used Gravity Bind. I used the pot of Greed that I got and drew a Magician of Faith and a Hinotama. I set the Magician and ended my turn (His forgetfullness had somehow started to infuence me!). He flipped a Hiro's and I got my Minor Goblin Official and a few others. He killed my Magicain of Faith and I got my Pot again. I used it and got a second Hinotama. After hitting him direct with both Hinotama I lose the match again, I know I used my Minor Goblin Offial and got a bunch of direct damage... oh yes, that 2000 life drain was from my Just Deserts. At any rate, I got to the second round again, go me! Match 2: Death's Cold Touch vs. Dragons, and monsters with Dragon in their name Duel 1: Winner, Him Life Point Status of me: 8000>7750>5300>1150>0 Life Point Status of Opp: 8000>7200>6400>5900>5300>4300>3800 Move Review: I'm sorry If I'm skimping on the Duel Data, but I don't have much on this entire match (I hope amnesia isn't contagious!) Here's the basic scoop. He won the toss (Aggh! I'm never going to win!) He set a monster and that was all. I set a Mystic Tomato and my Dust Tornado and Ookazied him. He killed my Tomato and I fished out my Witch. I drew Ookazi and blasted him again, then shifted my witch into defense mode. He took a long time before he attacked her. In the mean time I dished out my direct damage with my Cannon Soldiers and Magics. Once he was down to 4300 he got his Barrel Dragon and completely squished my Labyrinth wall with it's effect. I drew my last Hinotamo and hit him for 500, after that he oblitherated me with Barrel Dragon and a few others. Duel 2: Winner, Me Life Point Status of me: 8000>2700 Life Point Status of Opp: 8000>6600>5800>5000>2500>1900>0 Move Review: I opened with Ookazi and Final flame then set Mystic Tomato in defense mode, huray! He killed my Tomato, but why should I care? I pulled my Witch. On my turn I got my Gravity bind. This stalled the duel for a long time. I wound up tributing my Witch for Labyrinth Wall. He played Heavy Storm and kicked the crap out of my life with his monsters. I reborned his Barrel Dragon and beat him with it. Duel 3: Winner, Me Life Point Status of me: 8000>7500 Life Point Status of Opp: 8000>7400>6900>5900>5400>4600>3800>3300>3200>3100>3000>2900>1900>900>0 Move Review: I got Gravity Bind and Final Flame for my opening move. I set one of my buddies (Man Eaters) and had him go. He played Card Destruction and then Reborned his Barrel Dragon, but, he didn't use the effect and attacked my bug (I'm still laughing at this) I played a hinotama that I drew and set my Princess. On his turn he set two magic and played Tribute to the Doomed, then played a monster to attack me with but I used Gravity Bind. This prolonged the duel for a little while. I wound up destroying his Barrel Dragon then reborning it only for him to play Messenger of Peace. I then drew a Cannon Soldier and Tributed everything but my Labyrinth wall for some killer damage. He finally died when I got Pot of Greed and drew 2 Hinotama from it. Match 3: Death's Cold Touch vs. Beat you into the ground Duel 1: Winner: Him Life Point Status of me: 8000>5500>2200>0 Life Point Status of Opp: 8000>5400>4900>4300 Move Review: For this match I was dueling the store Champ, yes I was expecting to lose, but I didn't expect to beat him in the second Duel! For this duel... he won the toss (any one that has advice on how to win the coinflip, you'll be of a whole lot of help) and went first. He only set a monster in defense mode. I drew and got nothing but I did have 2 Hinotama, a Final Flame and an Ookazi in my hand that blew his life appart, and the best part was that I needn't not attack him. I soon got Graviy Bind which I used. He got out his Summoned Skull and then destroyed Gravity Bind with a Noble Man of Extermination, he Change of Hearted my Mag o Faith and brought back his Change of Heart, then suished my life. On my next turn I set my Morphing Jar, he used his face down Faither to bring back Raigeki and proceeded to blow me appart. Duel 2: Winner, Me Life Point Status of me: 8000>5700>5250>4150>3650>1250 Life Point Status of Opp: 8000>7400>6000>5300>4500>3900>3700>2200>1700>1200>700>200>0 Move Review: The taste of victory was sweet, though I felt as though I was going to lose at the start. I went first. My opener was Final Flame. I set a Bug and let him go. He used Tribute of, and summoned a monster in defense mode (My best bud, destroyed, noooooo!) I Drew Gravity Bind and let him go. He summoned the big Skull and attempted to attack my life, I used GB and he had to wait. I thought I got shafted hard when I drew Last Will, but it helped. He set another monster and had me go. I got my mighty Cannon Soldier in my next turn, yeah! I used him and Last will together and put my wall in defense mode. On his next turn he used Raigeki and then summoned Jinzo. I remember thinking, oh look this duel is over, my Gravity Bind doesn't work and I don't have anything to protect me. Huray for my I got Dark Hole. With Gravity Bind able to work again I got through his life nicely. He soon destroyed it but it didn't matter, I used my Minor Goblin Official and played Jarai Gumo in attack mode. He didn't get anything and wound up getting killed by my Official. Duel 3: Winner, Me Life Point Status of me: 8000>5200>0 Life Point Status of Opp: 8000>7200>6200>5700>5500>3500 this duel was fast and simple, he didn't get much to start, and I whittled his life down to 5500 then he got his big guys out and my walls, witch, and tomato refused to show up. On his final life assult I sent him a 2000 direct damage message that said, though you have beeten me, I can win, and I will take the Chapionship crown from you. After the match, he informed me that I had put together an impressive deck. I've since tweeked it though because my carelessness of weather my monsters live or die, means I should have the Shadow Ghoul, plus I got some more direct damage related monsters, another Giant Germ and a Sangan to help get my Labyrinth Wall into my hand. Hey Hey Budday to: Me, (Could I be starting a tradition of 3rd rounding for myself... the last tournament I had I got 2nd place, went against the Champ and lost) The Champ: I've gotta hand it to you, you're the best duelist I've ever met My friend Rodney: You show'd me Yu-Gi-Oh! and tought me how to play, I then surpassed you which is a rarity (student over teacher) but it looks as though you're gonna be following in my footsteps now with consistant 2nd rounding Zimmie's: I love Yu-Gi-Oh! and you provide me with good competition, most of the time :) Crappy Slappy to: My friend Ryan: Stop missing these tournaments man, you got the second round last time, now keep at it.
