7 tools x1 (What was that? Did I hear you say Mirror Force? Well take this!!!!)

Mirror Force (Did you say 7 tools? Ahh...)(It still kicks butt)

That's my deck. During the tourney though, someone jacked my raigeki and I'm really,

Really mad!!!! Whatever. I'll get over it.

On to the tourney!!!!!

Round 1: J vs. Alex (Exodia)

Duel 1: Well, before the tourney I had slimmed his deck down to 40 cards. Before he had like 60 and most of them were horrible... and yet he's running an Exodia deck. Anyway before the tourney he got smart and traded for Painful Choice and Backup Soldier. So anyway, I started out by clearing his field and attacking wit Goblin Atk Force. Then he put out two solemn wishes and started getting all cocky. I still kicked his butt. And then I beat him!

Duel 2: I was beating him at the beginning, but then he did painful choice and backup soldier and released the forbidden one!!!!

Duel 3: It was pretty easy I got him down to 1500 lp when the time was up. We hada

little argument cuz he used painful choice and I sent the head of exodia to the graveyard, and told him that he could never get it back cuz you can't get monsters with effects, but he was like "I could use monster reborn" and I was like "it wouldn't work" Anyway, for some reason, the judge thought we were arguing over the score and counted the game as a draw (which will come to haunt me later)

Round 2: J vs. Eli (Beatdown)

Duel 1: I got out solemn wishes pretty fast. I atked his lp wit a 1800 monster and then with a wall of illusions and then with Goblin Atk force. Then he was done for.

Duel 2: He got out a Jurai Guomo with two Nuzzlers and started whooping my butt.

Duel 3:I can't remember what happened, just that I beat him

Round 3: J vs. Jordan (Beatdown Wannabe)

Duel 1: Jordan is a friend of mine from school and I must admit, he's not that good. Either way I got out solemn wishes and so many lp that we stopped keeping my score. Let's just say that I beat him pretty bad.

Duel 2: Pretty much the same. (He really, really, really hates solemn wishes!!!)

Now it was time for the finals. I had to roll against 3 other people to play for third. I lost the roll, but seeing that one of my friends, Sebo, was also in the rolling (he told me he had lost a round) when I had never lost, I asked the main guy why I was in the same drawing as Sebo. That's when I found out about the little predicament counted as a draw. So basicly I shouldv'e gotten 3rd or 4th but in the end, I guess I tied for 5th. Another friend, Brendan, got a SoRL stolen after he traded for it. I guess that had something to do with my raigeki being stolen too (which I didn't figure out 'til two days later). Whatever. Lately though, I traded for a Call of the Haunted which replaced my raigeki.

Props:

For trading my Time Wizard for a 7 tools

For trading Witch of Black Forest for Gravity Bind (I'm making an annoying Stall/Burn deck)

To some kid I played before the tourney for whipping my butt pretty bad

To Alex for actually pulling exodia

To me for never losing a round

To all my friends that came

To Eli for teaching me that Jurai Guomo can actually kick butt

Slops:

To whoever took my Raigeki and Brendan's SoRL

To Alex for arguing and making me lose

To the guy who misunderstood our argument
