Round 1: Me (Bandit Keif) vrs. Donald (AznPaya)

            First of all I would like to catch people up (or those who are just starting to read my reports) about the origin of “FX”. When I first made my “FX” deck it was a control. However if people knew I called it Control they would use some side deck on me that is anti-control. So I called my unstoppable control deck “FX” or “Cool FX”. So on my tournament reports, maybe like the first couple the title of my deck would be “Cool FX”. Then I grew weary of beating everyone… and I really mean everyone!

            I was so confident of my first “FX” deck (Control) that I even wagered the WHOLE DECK in a duel for keeps once at Collectors Corner. I was up against a hotshot kid that claimed he never lost, lets call him “Edmond”. He ran a good gravity bind deck that could hang with the mind-full (as opposed to mind-less) beatdowns at Collectors Corner. I swept the floor with him first game. It seemed like the whole store was watching our duel, many kids saying they would never wager something as valuable as their whole deck as the prize of a duel. I saw the look on his face, a 7th – 8th grader knew his whole deck was lost. One parent watching from afar was shaking her head, possibly in disgust. From her point of view a 16th grader was virtually robbing an 8th grader of his cards. So I looked directly at “Edmond” and said, “I’ll let you walk. You don’t have to continue this duel. You can keep your deck.”

            The store of kids watching our duel were baffled at my offer. Possibly they expected a brutal taking of another’s cards, maybe they expected to see the epitome of the agony of defeat, what they expected was a savage end to a honorable battle. I looked around, the kids surrounded us like it was some school yard fight. I knew that there was no good that could come out of this. Sure I would take his cards, but I have all the cards, or at the very least access to any card within 24 hours. So I had to teach the kids that dueling for decks was not right. I hope they got the message.

            Well back to titles. Since I figured that I was unstoppable I went ahead and named my deck: “FX true name – Control – “ Sure enough after I did that my evil rival Serf made an Anti-Control deck and started winning 20-25% of the time with it vrs. Me. My Control deck is now outlawed and illegal. So I went on to my next deck, rightfully still named “FX” it came to be: “FX next name – Redline – “.

            Oh yea about the duel with Donald. I stormed him 4-0. His girlfriend then called and said he couldn’t watch the superbowl because she thought it was too violent for him to watch (she called him in the middle of our duel and that’s what I heard). Maybe your wondering “how 4-0?” the duels are best of 3! Well I took the first 2 tournament duels then he wanted to duel again (he thinks he can win!) so I take the next 2 duels.

            He ran a beatdown / burn. It has much potential, he just has to tap it somehow. Donald, I know everyone around you said to just go with beatdown, but you have to go where your deck takes you. I know that a beatdown / burn can be good, I know because I have a prototype in my head of how it’s supposed to be.

 

 

Round 2: Me (Bandit Keif) vrs. Nick

            I got 2nd at Collectors Corner yesterday with Redline. I Redlined on Sebastian (this little Hispanic kid), then on Kenji (this little Asian kid with a bad attitude and (according to Kevin) starts to cheat when he’s losing). Then for some reason I couldn’t Redline on Dave! Everything went wrong, Barrels stuck in my hand, jammers down with no cards left in my hand… the list goes on. Well Dave if your reading this, Bandit Keif (3rd West Coast), Serf (6th West Coast), and Kevin (K Force One Circus of Death Owner) are coming after you next week. Your mind-full (as opposed to mind-less) almost thought-full beatdown will lose.

            Back to about Vrs. Nick. He saw that he was dueling me and left. He ran fast, so fast that he couldn’t have been going to the restroom. So Marcus and Alex both agreed he forfeit because he didn’t want to duel me. He took so long we thought he left. So as Marcus gets ready to take his place and duel me in the Championship he comes back from the restroom with a stream of toilet paper stuck to his foot and says, “Your going down.” I reply by simply looking at the line of tissue paper stuck to his shoe.

            I storm him 2-0. Tough talk while toilet paper is stuck to your shoe is never a good sign. Well I found out that my “high five” maneuvers aren’t the cause of my undoing because I was giving out high fives for every cool move I made and won this duel in record time.

 

 

Round 3: Kevin (K Force One Circus of Death Owner) vrs. Steffon (Zeeno)

            This is Kevin’s guest report on Keif’s tournament report. Zeeno lost. Kevin was teetering on 100 LP and still managed to pay Imperial Order next turn! If he can do that, he can beat Zeeno. So he did!

 

Round 4: Allen (Schezar) vrs. Alex (Son of                    (I’ve got to get his name))

            This is Allen’s guest report on Keif’s tournament report. Alex didn’t lose that bad, OK! It was close and Allen is one of the O.G. Yu-Gi-Oh advanced players so, Alex, don’t feel bad, you were up against a tough opponent. (This part was inserted because if Alex doesn’t win his dad will start saying, “You didn’t win! What the hell am I spending all my money on those cards for then! Gimme those and I’m selling them!”.

Post Game shouts:

Anyone from Collectors Corner reading this! Shout out to Jonathan (previously known as “long hair”. Mike for bringing a sneek peek of how Yu-Gi-Oh is going to be like 2 years from now. Tom (his brother?) for doing card tricks. And Ricky, Kevin’s cousin: “Dude don’t be afraid to duel me! I just 3rd on the West Coast and take your Soul with my Palm Pilot when I win.”

Alexis for NOT showing up to beat the Exodia Kid leaving his dueling partner Chris to fend for himself in the Intermediate division. Chris didn’t win because of you Ching! Because of you!

Shout to all the other expert players – Brandon “Pho” and Serf (how did we both lose to Dave! Maybe we got to hold a practice session sometime).

To “James Pantig” My sister Geraldine already thinks you’re a loser! First of all you post online that she’s pretty instead of discreetly saying it in person (if you said it in person it would give her a chance to slap the shit out of you!) Second loser strike… you don’t vrs. The cool people in the advanced bracket (I.E. the people she has on her buddy list under the category: Duelists.) Showing that you’re a low confidence, foolish loser that couldn’t hang with the K Force One ( Kaiba, Joey, Mai, Bandit Keif, Penguin Knight, Mokuba, Yugi Moto and sometimes Yami Yugi ).
