I'm back and this time I'm not alone.  my nephew did his chores so
he could come.  this tournament wasnt sactioned yet but its pending
I did alot better this time and even got a shot at the millionth time 
defending champion {mike .s} and his bodyguard brother steve s.
its true that the road to the championship leads through these two
only 36 people showed up this week and to my surprize top 8 
advanced
	[rank/win%]
round 1     me [5/77%wp] vs james w[36/11%]

round 2     me[5/77%] vs grant h.[10/75%]
this guy was top 10  but thats it it was an easy win 2-0 
round3      me[5/77%] vs tyler p[18/44%]
this was another practice drill with a twist, he used ritaul magic it 
was fun using solemon judgment to stop him 2-0
round 4    me[5/77%] vs drew t. [2/88%]
this one i messed up in the first round and it cost me the match
wanting to win the first match would have allowed me to take a breath and assess
his deck but I ended up on my heels the whole time lose 1-2

i made the finals due to a surprizing announcement that top 8 would
be in the final. my fist match was evan j. [7/77%] this match I 
overwhelmed him with defence and power then i got a shot at the 
champ[mike.s{1/72%] he beat me in three but he got a fight from
me. then  i got to duel his brother [steve s.{6/70%] for third place
but lost so 4th place is ok for now but the real story of the day was
this kid who beat the brother steve.s and almost beat the champ
mike. s 
props to the kid that took the champ the distance

slops to me  i didnt have my a game today but for sure i will next 
week
