My money went to my deck and this time I was prepared to win. The Tournie: I did some trading and didn't get anything worthwhile, The Judge came down and listed the first matches. Round 1: Ayn(Me) vs Name ????(Sorry dude i forget) Duel 1: This was pretty staight forward. I just got cards into the graveyard for my bazoo and demolished his monsters and life points. Life Points: Me:8000-8000 Him:8000-????-????-????-????-????-0000 Duel 2: Again the same thing, except he got out a tremondous fire on me the first turn. Life Points: Me:8000-7000 Him:8000-7500-????-0000 Winner=Me I had made it past the first round for the first time in 3 weeks! The next duel was not going to be any harder than this one. Round 2:Ayn vs Colin Mackennis(I think thats how u spell it) Duel 1: This kid ran a pretty solid deck for casual play but not nearly good enough for the tourneys. He played cards like grave keepers servants and bistro butchers to try and run out my deck...but my beat down moves fast and I beat him within 5 turns. Life Points: Me:8000-8000 Him:8000-????-0 Duel 2: Basically the same deal but he but him before he could start any stall combos. Life Points: Me:8000-8000 Him:8000-????-0000 ---------------- My friend Josh who I had came with was still in his first due(tough oppenent) so I went upstairs to talk with my friends. Eventually I went back down and had a practise duel with my friend "Super Yami Yugi" who until recently good domininate me in a duel. Duel 1: This guy used to run a dark necrofear deck but has a reliquenshised deck now. He got out reliquenished but I mirror forced it. And from then on I just attacked him directly until he was dead. He was suprised of how much my deck and I had improved. ---------------- Round 3:Ayn vs ?????(Sry forgot your name) Duel 1: This guy ran a beat down but was not as fast as me so I quickly dominated. He hit me hard once , but I forget what he hit me with. Life Points: Me:8000-4300 Him:8000-5000-2000-0000 Duel 2: I had this won around second turn. I attacked with Powered Bazoo and his Lajiin powered with axe. On his turn he has 2600 health and I pointed out that he could kill my bazoo. Big mistake!! He attacked and I activated Magic Cylinder. I felt sorry for I tricked him into an instant win for me,but I had to do what I had to do. Life Points: Me:8000-8000 Him-8000-2600-0000 So there I was. I had finally made it to the semi finals after 4 previous tournaments of early defeats. I was up against Matt(last name unknown to me), the second best in the store(i think). I knew I would lose but I decided to give it my all. Duel 1: He started off with a crappy hand(good job me and my cutting). He put up a fight but I quickly took the win....Holy crap I beat him!!! Life Points: Me:8000-???? Him:8000-????-????-????-0000 Duel 2: Usually this guy doesnt lose except to Codith so he was pissed. This duel was sweet. Board control switched constantly and I almost had him defeated but he turned the duel around and killed me with his Jinzo. Life Points: Me:8000-????-0000 Him:8000-4600-3900 Duel 3: This was the duel that decided it all. I powered my Bazoo to 4000 and attacked his life directly but ran into a cylinder of Magic....F ck!. He then killed me with Jinzo Me:8000-4000-1600-0000 Him:8000-7700 So I lost in the semi finals. But none the less I was proud of how good I did and maybe John,Matt,Jason and Simon have respect for me now! Props: -John(Codith) for winning the tournie! -John and Matt for giving me the cards from their boosters(even tho most were not good) Slops: -Matt for not entering! Last week I did some research and hoped I would make it to the semis....And look where I am! Lataz Email:justin_coolen@hotmail.com
