I also came in 10 minutes late, but Jeff, The owner was good enough to let me play in the tournament so that was pretty good of him. It costed me only 7 dollars to play but most people weren't even on there second round when I came in. I was able to WIN FIRST PLACE!!! FIRST ROUND: ME Vs ???? Kid I don't even remember this kids name. First of all my hand was really good. I got my Maha, a swords of light and a bunch of other stuff. He played man eater on the field and I played Swords to flip up his man eater. He had no magic or traps on the field so I played MAHA and equiped it with an Axe and 1 malelovent nuzzler. Which made its attack high. I beated him in 4 rounds with him playing nothing but weak cards. Same thing happen for round two but this time I kept getting weak cards. I got swords, and magican of faith which I played. He had a summon skull on his field but swords protected me. I finally got out Raigeki and played it on him. I reborn his summoned skull got my maha out did the equip trick and finished him off. I won 2 rounds straight. SECOND ROUND: ME VS Derrick This kid had a really weak deck. Nothing but weak common monsters and nothing good that I could have seen. I beated him in less than 15 mins and had some free time to slack off like usual. THIRD ROUND: ME VS MICHEAL (MY-COLE) HE was really good, most feared him because many lost to him. His deck was probabbly one of the best I have seen so far. First off my hand was Ok. He went first and played a magician of faith down in defense. My turn came and I played Curse of fiend to flip up his Magician. He of course didn't have any cards in his graveyard so he got nothing. Then I summoned my LA Jinn and attacked him, but he had a waboku and used it. I setted down my dragon capture jar on the field for no reason. He didn't even have any dragon cards. His turn came and he played dark hole then summoned out nimble momonga on the field and attacked me for 1000 direct damage. I made sure he would regret attacking me. so I set cyber jar on the field along with traphole and waboku just in case. He threw out a monster and I trap holed it. he then attacked my cyber jar and we did the draw of five cards. He had some more stronger cards on the field now and I had a few wimpy monsters protecting my life points. Well anyways. I lost first round because he had finished me quick. Next round, he played Solemn judge on me so many times that His life points were at only 1000-1500 and my at 3000. He attacked with his magician of faith and summoned skull. I had Jirai on the field which blocked some of summon skull and had 400 life points left after magician of faith. My final card that I drew was MAHA. I was saved. He had no traps or magic on the field. I had MAHA, AN AXE, and megamorph. I went straight for his magician of faith to end our second round. The final duel was a close one. I was able to knock his life points down really quick by using MAHA. He had nearly half of his life points after I attacked him. When he played dark hole I felt like the end. I somehow managed for a while. Near the end he attacked me for 1800. He had only cannon soldier and magician of faith to attack me along with a combo using robins goblin. Megamorph and black pendent was gone from my hand. my life points were at 1000+. I got my final card and to my suprise it was nimble Momonga. With his LP at 700 and Magician of faith in attack mode with an attack of 3000. I attacked MOF for the win. (HE WAS REALLY MAD BECAUSE HE GOT BEATEN BY A FLYING RAT) FOURTH ROUND:ME VS ???? THIS person was really impressive. He kept doing direct damage so it was my advantage to use megamorph to cream him. He played swords a few times but I kept heavy storming them with MOF. I was able to beat him 2 out of 3. FINAL ROUND:ME VS Pheng I will never forget this person because he played with a dragon deck. He was a tough person to beat and took a lot out of me to win. It was around 6:30Pm when we dueled. I almost lost to him but I beated him. The first round was tough but I won. The second round was tougher. He took my canon soldier and tributed it along with his monster to bring out blue eyes. I was almost doomed, but I had a wall on the field. So my defense hold. he had no cards other then blue eyes and I had a wall. In my hand I had only reliquensh. Then my turn came and I was able to draw the Black illusion card. I tributed wall and asorbed blue eyes. He had only 2000 Lp left and I finished him off. THOUGHTS FROM ME: 1.) WIRTING This is tuff took me nearly 2 hrs. 2.) i got 2 new season 2 packs, one contained a rare skull gurdian ritual monster 3.) i took 4 LOB booster and got-Rageki,Dark Hole, and a Man eater bug. 4.) I took two pharoah servant and got a goblins attack force. (YEAAAAH!!!) 5.) OVerall these boosters are the best I have ever gotten. 6.) I GOT 8 boosters BECAUSE I WON FIRST PLACE.
