Ray is like me and hates to conform to the everyday deck that everyone makes, and this 
dated back to our Magic the gathering days.  So anyway, there weren't a lot of people 
there today for some odd reason, but still enough to have three rounds.  The champs that 
had won all of the previous tourneys were going to be there, so I made him this deck, 
because it was unconventional from the average beatdown deck.  We've played with this 
deck before but it fell short.  We didn't have any Heavy Storms in the deck anymore, so 
we replaced it with Robbin Goblin..  Pharaoh's Servant was finally tourney legal, so I 
changed one of the Swords of Revealing Light for a Gravity bind, since S.O.R.L.  has 
been restricted to one now.

Round one:  Ray  vs. New guy (Maha Vailo deck )

Doesn't matter how big you buff him up, he still cant attack.  Ray won this easily

Round two:  Me (Gate Guardian) vs. Ray (weenie burner)

This was just great!  Ray is my hired gun.  I make a second deck,  and he plays it in the 
tourney.  We talk about it afterward if something comes of it.  So, here's how it went 
down.  First game, Swords of revealing light.  (remember there's only one of them 
allowed now) with direct attacking weenies.  Three turns, Magician of Faith, swords 
again.  After three turns of more weenies killing me slowly, he flips another magician of 
Faith!  On the ninth turn I died.  Second game I won with my Aqua Madoors and Stone 
Soldiers, since the Messenger of peace doesn't stop them.  Third game was a lot more of 
the first game, and I go down to my own deck.  I'm mad but not mad.

Round Three—Finals:  Ray vs. Yunus Offensive Exodia)

Well Ray loses the first game, but in the second game with the Messenger blocking big 
attackers, and the Robbin' Goblins taking Exodia pieces he wins the second game.  Game 
three, Yunus decides to not even try to win with Exodia, except as AN ATTACKER!  I 
have never seen Exodia the forbidden one being placed on the field in face-up attack 
mode on purpose until this day.  But it was a sound move though,  Exodia attacks under 
the Messenger of peace blanket and can kill an un-powered weenie at 1000/1000.  
Solemn wishes slowed the process up a bit, but Ray eventually won the match and the 
tourney!  I felt proud for my deck that I knew had the ability.



So this week there was no third round for me, since Official tourneys are supposed to be 
single elimination, but My hired gun won the tourney that day and got three packs.  Out 
of which came a Dokurorider.  Whatever.  Look forward to my report on my own deck.
