43 Cards in Deck

Round 1
Me vs my friend Brian
I helped him build his deck and we play each other all the time. This was 
just a game of
who drew the best hand. The 1st duel he won rather quickly, I didn't draw 
anything that
could help me at the time. The 2nd duel I won quickly I had a great opening 
hand of
Graceful Charity, Sinister Serpent, Call of the Haunted, Jinzo, Gemin Elf, 
and Magician
of Faith. First go I set MoF and Call and pass he set one monster and passed 
it back to
me. I draw and get Magic Jammer, I activate Graceful Charity and get 
Nobleman of
Crossout, Monster Reborn and Goblin Attack Force. I discard Jinzo and Goblin 
Attack
Force. Summon Gemini Elf, monster reborn goblin attack force and call of the 
haunted
Jinzo, Nobleman of crossout his Sinister Serpent and attack. He draws and 
sets one
monster and passes back to me I draw (cant remember what I got) flip my 
magician of
Faith and get my Nobleman back use it to get rid of his Cyber Jar and attack 
for the win.
The next duel I won after but don't remember exactly what happened.

L – 1 point, W- 3 points, W – 3 points, 7 total this round

Round 2
Me vs Joe
He runs a Gravekeeper deck, so I put in a Prohibition from my side deck to 
prohibit
Necrovalley. Don't really remember much about this duel except that he won 
the first
duel. The 2nd duel I won. And the 3rd duel only thing I remember is I 
destroyed his 2
Necrovalleys before I drew my prohibition well I killed his witch and he got 
Fiend
Megacyber ( that was the only card in his hand) so I prohibit Fiend 
Megacyber and on his
turn he didn't draw anything he could use and next turn I won.

L – 1 point, W - 3 points, W – 3 points, 7 total this round   14 points all 
together

Round 3
Me vs Ben
This is the first time I had seen this guy before. Don't really know what 
kinda deck he
ran, looked like a beat down. Anyways he won the first duel ( I seem to 
always lose the
1st one) Second Duel I won. And the 3rd duel I won after we had a "slight" 
disagreement
over Riryoku Field. I played monster reborn and tried to use Riryoku against 
it and I tried
to tell him that it don't work against monster reborn well he got all mad 
and I had to get a
somebody to bring me the Rules (my friend Brian printed out the entire PDF 
from
upperdecks site) and we looked it up and I was right. Well after that he got 
me down the
300 life points and he still had 7400 well he only had one monster face down 
and I
Noblemaned it. Then I got him in a yata lock and won. That one was close.

L – 1 point, W – 3 points, W – 3 points, 7 total this round  21 points all 
together

Round 4
Me vs Will
Now this a guy that really doesn't know how to play at all. He's one of the 
reasons my
friend printed the rules to bring with him. He runs a thrown together deck 
no real deck
type. I won all 3 duels this time don't really remember how.

W – 3 points, W – 3 points, W – 3 points, 9 total this round    30 points 
all together

Well after this duel I found out that their was 5 of us tied for 1st place 
with 30 points so
we was gonna have a tie breaker round to make things even the guy who had 
next highest
point total was let in to make it 6 people (wish they hadn't let him in, hes 
the only one I
lost 2 matches 2)

Round 1
Me vs Jordan (guy the let in)
He runs exodia so I sided decked some cards for card destruction and 
exchange. Well
didn't do any good cause he won the first duel. I won the second and he won 
the 3rd.

L – 1 point, W – 3 points, L – 1 point, 5 total this round

Round 2
Me vs Phillip
He runs a pretty good water deck, but couldn't seem to get good draws. I won 
all 3 duels
and since he lost 3 times last round he knew he was pretty much out of the 
race.

W – 3 points, W – 3 points, W- 3 points, 9 total this round  14 points all 
together

Round 3
Me vs Ben (again)
Now this was a little bit easier this time. The first 2 duels I won fairly 
easy. The last duel
he had only about 1200 life points left. He had one monster face down I had 
3 monsters
out, Gemini Goblin and Kycoo. I played Change of Heart on his face down card 
and
looked at it well he said if you look at it you have to flip it and I was 
like no you don't.
He asked everybody and they agreed with me. So he was getting mad. The 
monster I
changed of hearted was a cyber jar I just sacked it for jinzo and won he got 
all mad and
walked off.

W – 3 points, W – 3 points, W- 3 points, 9 total this round   23 all 
together

Well I had the 2nd highest points so I got second place (I didn't even get 
to play the guy
who won first place)

1st place was a $50 gift certificate
2nd place was a tin of which I got the Buster Bladder Tin, she was all out 
of Jinzo tins.

Props:
Getting Second
Some good matches
Getting a Holo 7 tools in a pack in the tin

Slops:
People that don't know the rules and still enter tournaments
People that get mad once they realize they don't know the rules.
And exodia decks.
