Total: 40 cards Finally I can talk about the successful tourney! Okay, this was my second tourney and my first tourney went horrible because of my unfocused deck. Just reading the top line, “Magician Mayhem”, can make you think of magicians and it does. Magicians is my theme for this tourney winning deck. I know that Summoned Skull is better, but the Magicians work best with my deck because I have killer combos. Comparing my first deck, and this deck, I’ve improved a whole more thanks to the man Erik at Jelly’s the Original!! He’s the best duelist ever. Back to the tourney. It was fine, no real challenge. Here’s how I did… 1st Round I’m sooooo sorry, since I’m typing this at night, I can’t really remember who I dueled, it happened like 8 hours ago!! But I know that I won both duels. So then I moved on to the quarter finals. (So sorry!!). 2nd Round - Me V.S a boy (I forgot your name!!) -1st Duel This boy had good cards, but not good enough to beat the Magician Mayhem Deck!! Hahaha!! He place monsters in face down defense and I set a few traps, I think it was a Claymore Mine and a Bottomless Pit Trap, then I set a Cyber Jar. He set another card and my turn. I flipped my Cyber Jar and and I got to Special Summon a few monster like I think Kaiku and Earthbound Spirit. I sacrificed them for a Black Magician and blew his monsters away with two Thousand Knives. After that I busted out one more Kaiku and “erased” his whole graveyard, nothing but magic…poor guy…I kept doing direct and all the to 0. -2nd Duel Pretty much the same as the first but he busted out his Jinzo in the middle of the duel. Jinzo wasn’t much of a threat. He killed my faced down monster, I forgot. I drew my Magic Warrior - Breaker and used a magic counter to blow up Jinzo, then I did direct. At 1600 Atk, he placed a 7 colored fish but I used Bottomless Pit Trap. My turn, I played my Black Magician Girl and I had 1 Black Magician in my Graveyard, and boosted it up to 2300 Atk. Then I smacked him to 0. 3rd Round - Me V.S Landon (I hope its right) -1st Duel This guy was easier than the previous one…He decided me to go first, so I agreed (everyone who faced me says that I go first!). I drew my top 5 cards and drew. I played my trusty Magic Warrior - Breaker and placed a coin for a magic counter. He played a monster faced down. I drew and played Kaiku, I used my magic counter and blew up his Man-eater bug (I hate those cards), then delivered him 3400. He goes and sets a monster. I play Curtain of Black Magic and used a Thousand Knives and Bam! He went down to 0. -2nd Duel I go first (again). I play Pot of Greed. Magic Warrior - Breaker shows up on the field once again. He goes and sets a monster. I set a Swarm of Scarab Beetles, and place down a Bottomless Pit Trap and a Claymore Mine. He goes and sets another monster. I go and play Kaiku (my fav), I flip Scarab Beetles and used a magic counter two destroy both his set monsters. Then deal him the magical 3400 damage to him. He goes and sets some magic/traps and set monster. I tribute Magic W.B for a Black Magician Girl but Trap Hole’s it. I attack his set monster and it’s a Giant Soldier of Stone. I lose 200. He tributes for a Summoned Skull, and I remove it from play with my trap. I special summon my magician and attack. He sets a monster. I go and special summon another Black Magician and use Thousand Knives, and a deadly 5000. 4th Round - Me V.S Kevin -1st Duel Yes! A match that will decide who is the champion!! I played him for fun earlier and he was pretty easy. I go (as always…), and set Cyber Jar. He plays La Jinn and attacks. Bam! All gone, we pick up the top 5 and special summon a few monsters. He had Man-Eater Bug and another one that I forgot. I had Kaiku and my Beetles. My turn, I draw, and flip the Beetles to destroy his Bug, and I play Magic W.B and use my magic counter to blow up his other set monster. I deal 3900 to him. Oh and placed a Magic Cylinder down and a Claymore mine. He plays Dark Hole, then plays La Jinn. He attacks and I take the damage. I set a Earthbound Spirit, and I end my turn. He plays soul exchange for a Barrel Dragon and attacks, I play Magic Cylinder, Ouch! 2600! I play Change of Heart and smack him to 0! -2nd Duel I decided to have fun with him. I put my Magician Mayhem Deck to the side and I played my Dragon Invasion Deck, a deck I’ve created recently. I set Cyber Jar, and put down a trap hole. He goes and sets a monster. I flip Cyber Jar, and we both pick up the top 5 cards. I get a Tyrant Dragon, a Flute, Dragon Rage, man eater bugs and wall of illusion. I play Lord of D. and the Flute, then Special Summon a Tri-Horned Dragon and a Tyrant Dragon. I set Dragon Rage. I also play Raigeki cause his whole monster slots were full and I deal him direct damage. He plays a monster face down. I go and I flip dragon rage, a permanent trap, its like a fairy’s meteor strike but only for dragons. Attacked his faced down monster he received damage and I attacked and he lost. WooHoo!! I win 1st Place, undefeated. The tourney was cool and fun. The prize was crappy. I hope the next tourney that will be held will provide better prizes, I’ll convince one of my riend who works there to make the prizes better. Yup, I won…I guess that’s all I can say. Oh and in the Tourney Pack I got a Giant Flea, Kuwagata Alpha, and a rare Burning Spear. No one got a super-rare or ultra-rare. For the PSV, I got a rare Michizure...>_< Props- -Getting free Big ‘N’ Tasty’s (I was hoping for Whoppers!!) and cans of Coke (da bomb!) from my good friend who bought for every participant and employee. -For my parents taking me to the tourney. -Allowing Japanese cards. -Me winning. -Oh, did I mention food?? Food was good. Slops- -Getting only 1...1 pack of PSV for winning 1st place!! -No real challenge -Parents not giving me money to buy cards to tweak my deck. I had to use my own money!! I'm so poor!! -The $10 entry fee. It almost made me bankrupt man!! *Opens wallet and butterflies fly out* Yeah, so, if you wanna contact me, ask me anything, how good I am, how much I suck, etc. I’ll be happy to answer you dudes. Oh yeah, if you live in Hawaii, on the Island of Oahu, I’m a usual at Jelly’s the Original (Behind Cutter Ford). I’m around there at 4:00 P.M. until 6:00 P.M. Yup, that’s all, peace.
