Round 1: Me (Bandit Keif) vrs. Steffon (Zeeno)

            Steffon knew he was playing me first round, this meant either Bandit Keif (Ranked 6th on the west coast) or Zeeno (don’t know the rank) would be eliminated, first round! This first round hit will definitely hit hard to one of our rankings. On with the report.

            Flawless. Perfect. Pristine. This is the type of game you have to play to win against me. Even Serf knows it too. Every move needs to have flawless accuracy. Because from a safe 7600 life points you can be taken down. Zero errors, like in baseball, usually the team with no errors won, correct? That’s way Serf defeated my deck that one day, that one time… it was because he played a perfect game, no mistake for me to abuse, no error for me to expose, yes one mistake will cost you the game against me. Now on with the errors.

            Error number 1 – he used Ceasefire treaty right before he summoned an effect monster. Whats the difference you say? Well it’s one of the reasons he lost the game! He had the rarest cards, he had the winning deck, but did he have the skills? Not today.

            Error number 2 – he has 5 monsters on the field, one of them cannon soldier, he attacks with them and then does not fire any off. Sound harmless enough, yea? Well on my turn I used dark hole. I could go on with the list of errors but I’m not writing a damn novel here. So on to round 2.

 

 

Round 2: Me (Bandit Keif) vrs. Melvin (Study-hard-boy!!!)

            Man this guy studied hard for this tournament. I’m surprised I beat him. He studied hella hard. He studied every effect of every monster, magic, and trap in my deck (not to mention he studied Dragon Lord Kevin’s Dragon Deck and Serf’s Disruptor). He studied every possible combo or even 3 card combo in our decks. Man if this kid studied in school half as hard as he studies for yugioh he would be a 4.0 student! Well he’s not a newb in yugioh but he is a newb in the advanced bracket. So you know what I did?! I took this little-study-hard-4.0-student TO SCHOOL!!!

            Schooltime: Lesson 1: even though you know how a card works, and how it’s supposed to work, and how it correctly works… All that doesn’t matter if the OFFICIAL upperdeck FAQ says otherwise! So before the tournament everyone tell all your classmates and the person sitting next to you to check the official FAQ for updates. “Class, can you repeat what I just said?”

 

 

Round 3: Me (Bandit Keif) vrs. Nick

            This Duel started off cool. With a drink and bathroom break. All the hours of non stop dueling can really get to your bladder. Nick ran to McDonalds to use the bathroom. He really ran fast, holding his pants, taking as small steps as possible but still running fast. I guess he really needed to use the bathroom.

            Well I’m not sure what to write for this round, he threatens me verbally with some of his effect monsters (just like Zeeno does every week – you can count on his threats like the sun rises) but I shrug it off and say, “wow.” I’m 6th on the west coast. I take Theodore Roosevelt’s quote on this duel, “Speak softly and carry a big stick.” He uses this quote as his foreign relations motto.

Why do you have to verbalize that your strong if you know your strong already? Just let your stick (deck in this case) do the speaking for you. Do you see Serf (number 2 at the store) talking smack before a duel? Not really, he’ll take that HaneHane and slap you upside the head with it but he won’t talk smack.

           

 

Round 4: Me “Bandit Keif” theory vrs. Serf theory

            Serf truely thinks that barrel dragons’s effect is a 50% chance. I will now prove him wrong. Will someone tell this guy that the barrel dragon’s effect is NOT a 50% chance!!! Serf’s an accountant for crying out loud. Email him and explain if this chart doesn’t jog his memory right into that Statistics class he was daydreaming in a couple years ago.

 

                        Coin 1              Coin 2              Coin 3

Bang!               H                     H                     H

Bang!               T                      H                     H

XX                   T                      T                      H

XX                   T                      T                      T

Bang!               H                     H                     T

XX                   H                     T                      T

Bang!               H                     T                      H

XX                   T                      H                     T

 

            Above are ALL the possibilities for a 3 coin flip. As you can see, oh god… please someone, correct my chart! Serf make another one at your boring job, ask your accountant friends! I KNOW that the barrel dragon’s effect is not 50%!!! Serf the paragraph before the chart was made before I typed the chart up, that paragraph will show that, for today you are correct.
