Ok, now you've seen my deck.


I hopped in the car and we were off to BK (:D) I knew Dan wasn't coming 
today, so I knew I had a chance for second.

Before the tournament started, I bought two boosters of SoTM. The store owner 
let me pick my own packs, and I'm glad he did. In my first pack, I pulled my 
SECOND Death Cruzer, the Annilator. In the second pack I pulled a KING TSUNAMI. 
That was an awsome way to start.

I did this all while Luis was eating his corn muffin.


I started to do some pre-matches before the tourny started..

Prematch~


David vs. Chris (Nickname? Crippled (cast for 10 months 0.0) His Deck: Fire/nature 
weenie rush Round 1: We both have fast decks, so the match was faily fast. We both 
had 1 sheild left. He pulled out one of his speed attackers. I was like NO. But, 
my deck came through with one of my personal favorites, Mana Nexus. That won me 
the match.

Round 2: I don't really remember what happen this match...and for some reason I 
didn't write it down


David vs. Josh
His Deck:Mono Nature, mana acceleration
Round 1:It was about turn 5 when I pulled out my Niofa. I started to own until he 
snared it. But then I came back with a Barkwhip and an Avalanche Giant. They swung 
away for the win.


Round 2: All I wrote down for this match was FDF, for Fighter Dual Fang, he won with 
him.

Round 3: I got, as Lee would say it, PIZOWNED. His final field was: 2 Fighter Dual 
Fang's AND a Barkwhip...


David vs. Mike S. (Nickname? Sully)
His Deck:Fire=Power, Water= Bounce

Round 1: He summoned a Brawler Zyler that I suicided my Mushroom into. Late in the game 
he evo'd into a Lancer when I only had 2 sheilds left and he had another creature. He double 
breaks. I'm praying for a Mana Nexus slowly lift my first sheild MANA NEXUS!!!! I flip 
another nexus into my sheilds. Lift up the other sheild and another nexus... I eventually 
won.

Round 2: He bounced my Niofa late in the game and won.

Round 3: I can't remember what happend except he evo's into a Paladin for the win.


Tournament Time!!



David vs Chris(again)

Round 1: My deck was running very fast today and this match proved it. On the third turn I 
had a burning mane on the feild. Then I summoned a Bronze Arm, evo'd him to barkwhip and 
broke 2 sheilds. I just owned with pure speed.
1-0

Round 2:I only know this time the tides (or the dark tides =)) changed. This time he was 
weenie rushing me and I couldn't do anything.
1-1

Round 3:He started off with a quick hand. He started rushing me until I started my comeback 
with Raging Dash-Horn. He had Valdios. He had used mana Nexus and put a Natural Snare in his 
sheild that I had forgot about. I didn't remember until AFTER I attacked with Dash-Horn. :*(
1-2 (You'll see why dragging this match out was important.)


David vs. Mike S (this tourny is starting to look A LOT like my
pre-matches.)

Round 1: I owned his Lancer with 1 of my Niofa's (I had 2 on the feild) and I swung with my 
Niofa and my Barkwhip for the win
2-2

Round 2: This match made me LOVE Mana Nexus. My first hand was pretty bad, getting 3 Mana Nexus'. 
He was whooping me with his Armored Groblav and his Crystal Lancer. I had 1 sheild left. He swung. 
The odds were not good of getting a Mana Nexus....BUT MY DECK CAME THROUGH. I ended up getting 
the Mana nexus in my sheilds and I flipped another 1 then another 1 until I WON!!
3-2

At this point, I would like to tell you, before this point, If I don't win the first Match, I 
never make it to the Top 4..Let's see what happens..


David vs. Joe
His Deck:Light blockers/Mana acceleration

Round 1: I know he tried to stall with his blockers but my 3 Barkwhips were too much for him.
4-2

Round 2: I had an Avalanche Giant on the field and he had Lancer. I was owning his blockers 
with my giant so he suicided his Lancer into my giant, which I was very happy about. I evo'd 
my Terahorn to Niofa and I owned with Barkwhip.
5-2

I did the math......AND I WAS CORRECT I MADE IT TO FINAL FOUR!!


Then, I saw my next opponent....and my second place run was over.

David vs. Josh


Josh just owned all day going 10-0.

I battled Matt for third and I won, but it was just for fun.


P-ROPS AND S-LOPS TIME!!
