Well here`s my first official tourney it went quite well and I got tied for 3rd place and it was official so then I got a tourney pack also. psv was allowed
 
 
 
round 1
 
me v.s.  a teenage whos dad had every card except 3 in a huge binder
 
Alright it was quite simple. I got a hand with trap master and solemn wishes. I activated my solemn wishes and kept on regaining health! It drove him insane. He went and laid 2 m and t and 1 monster face down. I remember that I activated gravity bind when I was going to take a lot of damage! but after that I attacked him with bombbardement beetle for a while and I snatch stole his little chimera for the win.
 
round 1 match 2
 
it was quite simple. He had a powered up twin headed fire dragon with salamandra but I fissured it. I had nothing much out and got decked by our cyber jars. He used ground collapse and that got me really mad since I don`t have a single tribute monster in my deck and plus my slots were full do to cyber jar and I so then I couldn`t summon my thousand eyes restrict! but I finally I got it out! I used dark hole though after a while since I couldn`t attack. So then I got decked by drawing my man-eater bug.
 
Round 1 match 3
 
Now this was a thriller! At the end I reborned his beast of talawar and snatch stole his monster for the win.
sorry for the lack of text on this one. I just can`t remember much.
 
Anyway
 
Round 2 me v.s. some 10 year old kid 
 
I was versing some kid that needed a little help with the rules. But he got used to them. I remember me winnimg with my darkfire soldier #1s. I also fissured his early defenses. He didn`t play too many m and ts for my princess of tysrugi. I won it pretty easily, plus I had solemn wishes on the field. He knew he would lose.
 
Round 2 match 2
 
I had this one in the bag. I just laid down cards on the offense like my darfire soldier #1s out on the field to attack directly. also at the end I remember get out my sonic bird to get out my relinquished. I took his last defense with it and beat him with a direct hit for the win.
 
Between then I had a little break. I was walking around the store looking at other people`s cards amd I actualy saw evey card in the game ina huge binderr!!! I couldn`t believe it. He was missing 3 old promo cards in dds like the dm and exodia and bewd. Then the teeneger that I beat wanted a rematch. Right whan we started I had yo go back to the tourney for my next match. He then said that he wanted to duel me later and I agreed.
 
Round 3 Quarter final match
 
alright, this guy was good. the guy was pretty nice to. but he was borrowing his friends cards, so he was better than what he really was. I got out a solemn wishes and that got him a little frusterated. I was able to win with a few direct attacks.
 
Round 3 match 2
 
this was a really fun match. I had just traded for a jinzo and so my deck was completely different now. My opponent let me slip it into my deck. How nice. Anyway, I got out solemn wishes again and then about 2 turns later he used mystical space typhone on it. Then, I got out a jinzo but he destroyed it. Then he tributed for a BEWD and I used trap hole. but at the end when he had a wingweaver out and my reborned jinzo I took quite a few points of damage. Then I got out a sonic bird and searched for the black illusion ritual that I needed for relinquished. I used that and absorbed his wingweaver and killled the jinzo I believe. But at the end I lost when my life points dropped to zero.
 
Round 3 match 3
 
Sorry but I can`t remember much. I know that he got out his solemn wishes but I used the trap master that I had set down. At the end I destroyed the jinzo that was in my hand since at the end of the turn I had 7 cards in my hand. My friend was now watching me and then during my turn I reborned the jinzo. But then he was saying oh yes good I have this card, but then my friend told him about jinzo since he forgot the effect and so then he lost with a direct attack. Later I found out that he had 5 traps face down, and some of them were the horn of heaven and an enchanted javelin.
 
 
Alright, a note before I tell you about this one. He defeated my best friend and I was shocked and plus he is really good. My frienfd has about like 20 monster removals in his deck to. He was quite a few years younger than me so I had underestimated him especialy after the first round were he got oblideated. I didn`t really take him very seriosly. Ayway here it is,
 
semifinal final match
 
Ok, it was quite simple. I destroyed him. I got out a relinqueshed and started to absorb his monsters. he used messenger of peace for a few turns then destroyed it. Then I direct attacked for the win. Sorry, again I can`t remember much.
 
match 2
 
I got killed. in this match and the last the guy who I beat was keeping track of life points and I knew he was honest so I really didn`t mind. But anyway this guy just killed me. I used relinquished and absorbed a face down monster. He used fissure on it. Then he kept on just attacking my life points since I couldn`t get monsters out. He won.
 
Match 3
 
I am quite ashamed of this lose. I really wasn`t paying much attention to him. Plus he had like 3 friends who wanted him to win and in a way tried to cheer and help their friend. My friend left me to duel the guy who I beat last round so  ten I had to duel with no support so then something even worse happened.then my opponents friend had to keep track of the life points.  Right now I can tell ya that there was something wrong with those numbers even though i took damage from my ownn spells there was definitely something wrong. Anyway back to the match. Alright he was about to attack me  directly so I used gravity bind. But I had a plan. Since most decks don`gt have a lot of monsters in their deck that can attack when gravity bind is on the field then I would wait for jinzo to then destroy him. But I was wrong. He started to attack with magician of faiths and cyber jars. Then when I just drew jinzo boom I died next turn. There was something wrong with the life points I tell you!
