Hi Pojo land! This is my first report on this site. There is one thing I need to 
clarify before I move on though... I am not an expert; this was my first tournament 
so I am posting to get help from professionals.

It consists of cards for searching, (witch of the black forest) thinning, (painful 
choice) and reborn, (monster reborn...duh!!!) cards. My deck is intended to decrease 
the luck factor of the game by getting me the cards I want fast...on to the cards!

Ok! Now to the action! 13 people showed up. There were 3 duels. Out of all three duels, 
a top four is picked. Heres how I did.

Duel 1, me VS. the top guy, Rory

Match 1
I started out thinking I might have a chance to win but... he was countering everything 
I did. I got down to 750 LP, he at 4000 LP and he finished me with Ookazi.

Match 2
He beat me much quicker this time. He had about 5000 LP at the end.
Duel 1: I lose

Duel 2, me VS. Some Kid

Match 1
I knew I would win because his stack was very, very big. Were playing and I was starting 
to get mad at this kid because he kept cheating AND didn't know how to play right. How 
did he cheat? He looked at the top two cards, frowned at one, and put in the bottom of 
his deck. Anyways were playing and he draws a card and starts giggling! Turns out he 
thought he could beat me with a Ryu-Ran powered with axe of despair. I was slightly 
worried because I only had Neo Out. But the Heart of the cards prevailed...the next card 
was snatch steal. Man that look on his face when I played it was great. He had no monsters 
to defend him and I had His Ryu. He then tried to play paralyzing potion on my turn! I said 
no you can't do that. After I slaughtered him, he forfeited.
Duel 2: I win

Duel 3, Me VS. Josh

This kid was a good player AND he actually knew how to play. First match, I won, Second match 
I ended up with his Blue-eyes permanently and my own at the same time along with a La Jinn...
I won
Duel 3: I won
Although I won two duels, I still didn't make it to the top four, I ranked Fifth.
Next time their going to have four duels instead of two.

Props:
To Rory for being an honorable player and giving me advice.
To Josh for knowing how to play.
To the heart of the cards for giving me Snatch steal.

Slops:
To that cheating kid who didn't know how to play.
To the judge for not supervising well.
To the kid who stole boosters from the table.

Well that's it. Please send me an E-mail because my deck needs serious help.
