Round 1 : The Forbidden Ritual vs. Kevin (w/ ???? deck)

I draw my starting hand and it contains 2x Last Will, 1x Pot of Greed, 1x Mystic Tomato, 1x Monster Reborn. I play the Mystic Tomato face up in attack mode and pass. Next turn I play the Pot of Greed and draw a Swords of Revealing Light and a Cannon Soldier. I use my Mystic Tomato to attack my opponents 7 Colored Fish and kamikaze it to get out a Sangan, in junction with that I activate both of my Last Will and summon another Sangan and a Witch of the Black Forest to the field face up in attack position, then I use the Cannon Soldier ability to tribute all 3 and search for 3 pieces of Exodia, then I play a Monster Reborn and get back a Witch of the Black Forest and again tribute it to search for my 4^th piece of Exodia (note : this is only my second turn and my opponent is having a fit) then I lay the Swords of Revealing Light and pass. Next turn, I draw my card which was The Shallow Grave, so I played it to get my Witch of the Black Forest back and I tribute her with the Cannon Solider Ability to search for the final Exodia piece.

Round 2 : The Forbidden Ritual vs. Nick (w/ Super Strategy Deck)

This game went more in my favor than his, he drew only one monster a Maha Vailo and equipped it with 2 Horn of the Unicorn and 2 Malevolent Nuzzlers, but due to the fact that my Messenger of Peace was in play he couldn’t attack me. I summoned Exodia, by using the kamikaze strategy that I used earlier against Kevin’s deck, with the help of Monster Reborn and Call of the Haunted, "The Forbidden One" came within a few turns later.

Round 3 : The Forbidden Ritual vs. JC (w/ A Mountain of Cards Deck)

This poor kid probably had every card he owned his deck. Needless to say, I dispatched him quickly.

Round 4 : The Forbidden Ritual vs. ??? (w/ Relinquished Deck)

He got Relinquished out turn 1 and absorbed my Sangan and passed, I take my turn and draw my card, a Raigeki, I kill my Sangan with Raigeki, using the effect to pull out an Exodia piece and then placed a Witch of the Black Forest in attack mode and attacked his 0/0 Relinquished and destroyed it, then I played Premature Burial on my Sangan and brought it back to deal 2100 dmg to my opponent’s LP. Next turn he plays a Ground Collapse and takes away two of my monster slots, so now I could only have 3 on the field. Next turn I draw a Cannon Soldier play it and use its ability to tribute both my Witch and Sangan to get out 2 more pieces of Exodia the I activated my Call of the Haunted and my Monster Reborn cards to get back both my Witch and Sangan, again using the Cannon Soldier ability to deal 1000 dmg to his LP directly and then I searched for the final 2 pieces of Exodia for the win.

Round 5 : The Forbidden Ritual vs. ???(w/ Beatdown Deck)

This match went very fast, my starting hand was as follows 1x Left Arm of the Forbidden One, 1x Sangan, 1x Pot of Greed, 1x Monster Reborn, 1x Call of the Haunted I draw my next card a Cannon Soldier, then I play my Pot of Greed and draw 2 PIECES OF EXODIA I MEAN WHAT ARE THE ODDS ON THAT HAPPENING !!!! I lay my Sangan face down in defense position and pass. He attacks my Sangan with his La Jinn and kills it, so I search for my 4^th piece of Exodia then I draw my card a Waboku, I play that face down then I play my Cannon Soldier only to get it Trap Holed so I activate my Monster Reborn to get the Cannon Soldier back, then I activate Call of the Haunted to get my lone Sangan back, use the Cannon Soldier ability to tribute the Sangan and I search for my final piece of Exodia then I say to my opponent "Exodia…….OBLIVIATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
