Side Note: I traded $60 worth of Magic:The Gathering cards for a Summoned Skull Gift Tin and 2 Packs of Smokes. I got 3 Metal raider boosters instead of the 2 thats supposed to come in the tin and used 2 for the tourney entrance fee. The tourney started out like most Yugi tourneys in this venue: as a grade school version of the floor of the New York Stock Exchange. Wheeling and dealing, everyone yelling and making jestures, and everyone trying to outbid others on trades. My trades: I got a Summoned Skull (Gift Tin edition) for a Wall Shadow, Labyrinth Wall, and Magical Labyrinth. I got Gravity Bind, Fairy's Hand Mirror, Magic Drain, and Armored Glass for 6 1600 L4 creatures and a Flash Assailant. I got a Ground Collapse and a La Jinn etc for a Armored Glass and a 1600 ATK normal Creature. I got a Magician Of Faith and a Shadow Ghoul for 2 Dian Ketos and a Malevalent Nuzzler (I felt bad for ripping him off so I gave him a booster out of my winnings, BTW). I got a Shadow Ghoul for a Malevalent Nuzzler. I got a Performance of Sword, a Numinous Healer, a Attack and Receive, a Bubonic Vermin, and The Regulation of Tribe for a Shadow Ghoul, a Small Cardboard Deck Box, 50 black Upper Deck card protectors, and 50 clear standard baseball card protectors (This trade was with my brother Termyte, BTW). Overall I think I came out WAY ahead in all my trades (unless they know something I dont...) Duel 1. Me VS Fat Kid w/1000 card deck Um...Can we say MASSIVE SLAUGHTER? I won the flip and chose to go first. Turn 1: I summoned Karate Man in attack. I set Change of Heart, Magical Drain, Soul Exchange and Shift. In my hand was Summoned skull and Sword Hunter. He placed 3 Magic/Trap cards. Turn 2: I summoned Da Jinn and Attacked, did some DD. He a summoned a monster in Def. Turn 3: Main Phase one: played Last Will and attacked with Da Jinn. His Monster was a Griggle...WOW!!!...Attacked with Karate Man and pumped him for 2000 Chump Direct Damage. Main Phase 2 I tributed Karate Man for Summoned Skull. Pulled a Labrynth Wall for the last will. He summoned a monster in def. Turn 4: I set an Ultimate Offering and Summoned a La Jinn. Attacked with La Jinn. Wow...he had an Ameba. Attacked with Summoned Skull. 2500 DD. He set a trap/magic card and a def monster. Turn 5: I used the soul exchange on his monster (an Illusion wall) and tributed Da Jinn for BEWD (Blue Eyes White Dragon) Attacked and got 5500 DD. He was now down to 500 life points. He played a Dark Hole that I blocked with Magical Drain (he had 0 cards in his hand). He set a monster in DEF. Turn 6: I summoned a Karate Man in attack, attacked with K man, his was a Illusion wall, I pumped K Man, attacked with BEWD and Summoned SKull. He's now at -5000. I win. I then relized he would have been dead a round earlier if I had been paying better attention to his life points (I was keeping score). Oh Well Next fight was similar but I beat him in 4 rounds. (I wish I wrote down that game :( ) Duel 2. Me VS Headphone Dude. Game 1: I won. First few rounds nothin but 1800ATK creatures suiciding. I won from a Ultimate offering + Summoned Skull + Fissures and trap holes. BLAH! Game 2. Started out like last game: 1800ATK creatures suiciding, etc. I played BEWD, got 3000 DD (Direct Damage) off him and he played a Dark Hole. He used Monster Reborn to pull my BEWD. He got me for 3000 DD. I pulled and played a Wall of Illusion. He attacked with my BEWD and killed my wall of Illusion. BUT!!! Monster is returned to OWNER'S hand. I get my BEWD back!!! I tribute a La Jinn and one of his with Soul Exchange to summon my BEWD, ATTACK. NExt Turn I tribute my other monster to summon a Summoned Skull. Attacked with Summoned Skull to kill his DEF monster and then attacked with BEWD. He drew a card and conceded the match. BUMP! SET! SPIKE! Duel 3: ME VS The Arrogant Rich Dude Game 1: I was hurtin for monsters. 4th turn he played a Lord of D. 5th turn he played a Flute Of Dragon Summoning (or whatever) He summoned 2 Black Eyes...whatever Dragons with that. This is when I relized I forgot to cut his deck at the beginning of the game. He killed my monsters and got me for alot of DD. Next he played a Soul Exchange and Summoned BEWD. This is when I counted all his cards that were in his graveyard+his hand+in play and relized he had 2 times more cards then he should have. He got some DD (im almost dead by then). I played a chump def monster and watched him draw. He 'Accidently' Drew 2 cards into his hand instead of 1. He killed me. Game 2. I made him shuffle face down in front of me AND I cut his deck. I also caught MOST of the times he tried to double draw AND all the times he tried to draw one at the end of his turn (he still had 5 cards more than he should have had AND he had NO cards that let him draw at the end of the duel...). He also picked up and looked at his next card several times. Every time he did that I 'called' him on that and looked at my next card. The rest of the duel went as usual, me pulling 1800Atk L4 monsters, using them to kill his monsters then Tributing them to pull Summoned Skull and/or BEWD. High point: I used Invader of the Throne to steal his Labyrinth Wall which I tributed for a Summoned Skull. Game 3: Similar to Game2. Except I lucked out and got 1 Summoned Skull out round 2 and my BEWD out round 4. Killed him...I think I woulda got him even if I hadn't lucked out. Duel 4: ME VS 8 Yr Old With His Dad Helping Game 1: Lucked out as usual, pulled Summoned SKull Round 2, Sword Hunter Round 4. He got Monster Screwed, only had Tribute monsters, I WIN. Game 2: Same as the first round but I killed him 1 round earlier (by luck). I gave him a booster from my winnings (A tradition of mine, I give anyone I beat 2-0 a booster out of my winnings, plus I felt bad for the bad trade I gave him earlier). My brother had a draw with the guy he dueled in Duel 3 and he Dueled and defeated him in the final 4 first round. Duel 5: The Fight For First Or Second. ME VS MY BROTHER, TERMYTE. Game 1: Him using Flying Whatever (+ 1000 to life points and pull all of the same name out of his deck to the field) he got up to 11000 LP and he got me down to 800 life points. I pulled Gravity Bind and neither of us had ANYTHING to destroy it. We sat there for 50 or so minutes doing not much of anything. He eventuall got 'Decked' (IE I won b/c he ran out of cards). Game 2: He got me bad (with the Shadow Ghoul I let him borrow for the tourney) Game 3: The usual, 1800ATK creaures suiciding and SOMETIMES doing damage. The Judge called time and we had the same Life Points so it was a draw. We both got 10 booster packs, 4 Magic Ruler, 4 Pharos Servant and 2 Metal Raiders. My rares from the boosters: 1 Jinzo 1 Hayabusa Knight 1 Prohibition 1 Delinquent Duo 1 Lightforce Sword 1 Maha Vailo 2 Horn of the Unicorn 2 Magician Of the Faith (Ummm...Can We say YAY?!!!) I also got at least 1 of all of the commons I traded, including 2 Malevolent Nuzzlers. Side Note: My Bro got nothing very good from his boosters. (Ummm...Can We say DOUBLE YAY?!!!) CONCLUSION: This was the VERY BEST YuGi tourney Ive ever played. I did some VERY good trades, I had a couple VERY good duels, and me and my brother duked it out for first with both of us ending in a draw for first. THIS ROCKED!!! DoomCryer: DoomCryer01@juno.com
