I shuffled my deck,and drew Messenger of Peace.My brother and my friend Chris came to root me on. Well I got there early,and waited like 1 hour shuffling the whole time,while I saw alot of older people there,getting scared I would say "good-bye!"[Oh yeah,it was where when you loose, you're out] Round 1:Me V.S. Justin He was a realy cool nice guy,but had only dueled once,but knew the rules real well. 1st Match:Well I never would remember my hand,but I remember some good 4 stars,and a Man-Eater Bug,and good Traps and Magics.Well it started off with him using stuuf like Ookazi and Tremendous Fire.I then started using my own Ookazi's,and then used some Magician of Faith's to us my Ookazi's a couple of times.He then did this card that wouldn't let me have cards in Face-Down.But I got all his Monsters gone,and started attacking directly with strong monsters. Me-About 5000 somthing Him-0000 2nd Match:Alomst just the same,but faster,and he didn't get enough Ookazi's and Tremendous Fire's out. Me-7200 Him-0000 I sorta felt sorry for him,because he was such a cool guy,but I get to round 2!: - ) [Nnnnnnnnooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!I HAVE to fight this guy next!: - ( ] Round 2:Me V.S. This 18 year old hippie/smart looking guy I thought would win This guy was making me pee my pants! He made me think my stomache was going to leave my mouth! 1st Match:Now I thought this guy was going to just kill me with strong magic,trap,and monster cards to make my LP's nothing.Well he turns out to be 40% Beatdown,and 60% Healer.Now he kept on using Solem Wishes,[gain 500 points ofr every card you draw!]Dian Keto,and The Gift of Mystical Elf.The first match was weird.It was like "I heal!",then "I kill!",and "I counter!", over, and over again.But for some reason I beat him!Me- 400 Him- 0000 2nd Match:OUCH!I was hurt alot in this one!I kept on getting either Magic,Traps,Effects,and Tribute Monster when I didn't need them!I had my LP's open alot for him to attack.Me- 0000 Him- 7500 3rd Match:was HARD!It was like the first round,but this time he healed even MORE!I was thinking"This is over...",but I started getting JUST what I needed!I somhow got rid of those Type-Zero Machine's and Solem Wish's with Heavy Storm,got his Monsters gone,and got to his LP's with my BEWD's, Barrel Dragon, and Suijin.Me- 6700 Him- 0000 WOW!I beat him,and he was a realy good sport. 3rd Round:Me V.S. Chris's friend[Looked like a rude Beatdown person] He turned out nice,and even gave me some gum.[heheh....I love gim!: - )] 1st match:guy turned out to be pretty easy.I just was destroying his monsters with those old Trap Holes,Fissures,and Man-Eater Bugs.I then to his LP's a couple of times with my Suijin.Me- 7500 Gim- 0000 2nd Match:the same,but I killed him in like 5 turns.I got an awsoem hand with Summoned SKull,2 Mystical Elf's,2 La Jinn's,and then drew a BEWD.He like never got any monsters out,and I just kept on attacking his LP's directly.Easy win.Me- 8000 Him- 0000 He had alot of rare cards he couldn't use,so was pretty populer with the looser crowd/now traders. BREAK!:They where selling Magic Rulers for only $3.00,and no Tax!I had to buy one.In it,I got FINALY got a Malvolent Nuzzler,and a second Nimble Momonga![I now can use Nimble Momonga's effect,to keep up a DEF,and gain LP's.They also did me very well!] 4th Match:Me V.S. Adam Now I was sorta scared.He was this little geeky guy that had these 2 teenagers with him buying him cards and he told me"Yeah,I've never lost a match,and won last weeks Tournament!".Ok.That's GREAAAT to hear buddy....: - ( 1st Match:HELP!I couldn't get any good monster out,because he keep using all these Magic and Traps to get rid of my monsters.He then keep on attacking directly,leaving me in the dust.Me- 0000 Him - 5550 2nd Match:I was tence in this one,because he could win right here and now.But I got just what I needed!: -) I did stuff like he did last match,and hit him fast and sweat.Me- 7600 Him- 0000 3rd Match:Close match.We kept hitting each other,but then I got my Barrel Dragon,Suijin,and BEWD on the field,and got rid of all his monsters with 3 fissures!I attacked directly,winning the duel!:-) Me- 2400 Him- 0000 Now I'm fighting in the Fianl Match! Final Round:Me V.S. Some jap. Teenager This guy was realy nice,and VERY good! 1st Match:At first,I thought I was just going to die!He first used Ground Collaspe,so I could only have 3 monsters in all on the field.He kept getting to my LP's,and got his Toon Summoned Skull out!But then I got the card I drew before I went here....the Messenger of Peace!I layed him down,and all is effect monsters where all ready used,and he had like 10 cards in his deck, while I had like still 30.I kept him back,and he ran out of cards,loosing his first Match! Me- 4549[Do to the highest LP limit og 9999] Him- 0000 2nd Match:I was getting realy scared,because if I don't get that Messenger of Peace out,I'm sure to loose.That's what I thought.I got everything PERFECT in my hand!I layed the right thing down when I needed it,and got to his Lp's pints real fast.But then he kept on getting a good deffence,and I could never get to hid LP's!He only had 1300 left,and then I drew a Ookazi,and had a Magician of Faith on the field.I used Ookazi,he went,I flipped Magician of Faith on my next turn,got out the Ookazi,used it,and won 1st PLACE!
