Round 1-Match 1:
Opponent: Michael - Best Card He Used: Relinquished
I simply went into this round thinking about whether it was a good idea
to have entered this tournament or not. I know that I'm good but somehow I knew I
would lose this tournament in the first round. I don't entirely know exactly what we
played but I'll just get to the point:

I basically had things going my way (appx:6300/appx:3200), with a Dark Magician and a Blue Eyes dominating
the opposing forces. It was his turn and that draw was all he needed to begin his uprising. He drew the card
that saved him and his remaining life points from my next attack (which would have cleared his remaining life points).
The card he drew was "RELINQUISHED". With Relinquished in his possesion, he absorbed my Blue Eyes White Dragon
and destroyed my Dark Magician (appx:5800/appx:3200). During my turn I drew a Trap Hole. I laid that card down on the field. I couldn't attack
So I just set up my defense by laying down my Mystical Elf. During his turn he used Card Destruction (discarding 4 cards
from my hand), which favored the both of us, and I drew my Mystical Space Typhoon, Monster Reborn, Pot of Greed, and a
monster card (forgot which one). He then destroyed my Mystical Elf. During my turn I drew my Mirror Force, which I laid
on the field, and played my Pot of Greed. I then drew Dark Hole and something else. I then played Dark Hole and Monster
Reborn. I got back my Blue Eyes and laid that and the other monster I had on the field and attacked his remaining life
points. "I WON"

Match 2:
This round was actually the completely opposite of the last round he dominated just about the entire match. I had a few
comebacks here and there but I just didn't get the cards I needed. "He WON"

Final Match:
This round was the best round. This round was a back and fourth round where we both had our high point's and our low
point's. We both had very low life points in the end (appx:500/appx:650) but he just had the upperhand. He drew the card
that I wouldn't have expected anyone to use. I don't know the exact name of the card but I think it was "Tremendous
Flames" or "Tremendous Fire" but I know it had the word "Tremendous" in it. It takes away 1000 life points from the
opponent and 500 life points from your life points. "HE WON"

Personally, I didn't feel bad that I lost in the first round. Michael played very well and he'd probably say the same for
me.

Props:
-To Michael for giving me such a good duel
-To myself for doing so good (atleast I thought I did good) the first time
-To my deck (although it could use some changes)


Slops:
-Myself, for losing -Michael, for using that "RELINQUISHED" (j/k).
