Later I brought out a skull and another dark elf and attacked with them for a few turns for the win 2-0 2nd round 16 participants Ahmed vs Ronald (disruption deck I think) Close game he got me down to around 4,500 he soul released some of my good cards then I set a cyber jar that he hit from that I got a fish and a sangan I attacked his monsters then next turn I brought out a skull and attacked for 2 turns for the win 3-0 2nd duel within the second turn I got out my swords of revealing light and used delinquent duo getting his dark hole and he discarded horn of the unicorn which went back to the top his deck two turns later I set a magician of faith next turn I flipped my magician got back swords then brought out a fish attacked his face down monster he used magical hats getting a horn of the unicorn and something else I forgot what it was I attacked what turned out to be the other magic card then horn of the unicorn got destroyed went back to the top of his deck his turn he flipped his wall of illusion gave it horn of the unicorn then on my turn I used tribute to the doomed to kill the wall brought out a dark elf attacked the face down monster with the fish then attacked directly with dark elf for the win 4-0 3rd round 8 participants Ahmed vs Michael (relinquished deck) I don't remember the details but I do remember that he was about to deck out after me using my cyber which got me all my magician of faiths then he used raigeki (ouch) and then attacked directly for the win 4-1 2nd duel again I don't remember the details that well I'm kinda hungry and my memory doesn't work good when I'm hungry but I do remember that he used sonic bird to bring out black illusion ritual and summoned relinquished and sucked up my la jinn then attacked me direct on the last turn before the game ended he attacked my face down monster with a skull which was a mask of darkness then attacked with relinquished for the game 4-2 now props and slops time props to goat and eric for not being there and giving me a better chance of winning to keith for building a not so cheesy exodia deck to Ronald for a real competitive duel for getting a swords of revealing light the day before the tourney to my mom for getting me the DM tin that came with heavy storm slops to matt shadow sita for jinxing me in the AM tourney for me making AJ waste his 5 dollars (entry fee) sorry lol Well that's it for my first tourney report I hope to make another one soon If anyone has any tips or anything like that feel free to contact me at animewolf17@hotmail.com or if you go to pojos boards my screen name is ss2vegito
