Subject: mad amalgam deck, thomas d ,strikezone, houston my deck was my mad amalgam deck and the tourney was at strikezone date: september 21, 2002 single elimination, fee 5 dollars, no jap cards or promo cards(people used the promo anyway) me and my brother both went, im 16 hes 12. before the tourney started i bought 5 metal raiders, i got another shield and sword, my 2nd sangan, and 1st solomn judgement, it was pretty sweet. well anyway allow me to explain my mad amalgam deck, it is well, crap, how i could even win 1 duel is beyond me... here it is mons-19 shadow ghoul*2 mystical elf la jinn prevent rat spirit of the harp big eye trap master kazeijn labyrinth wall man eater bug armed ninja *2 sangan *2 the stern mystic judge man guardian of the throne room *2 magic-14 shield and sword *2 monster reborn malevolent nuzzler pot of greed soul release fissure*2 change of heart dark hole de-spell horn of the unicorn soul exchange remove trap trap-13 horn of heaven*2 dragon capture jar solemn judgement trap hole*2 mirror force woboku ultimate offering total 42 well anyway, we had 22 peeps in the tourney so six had to fight in the first round, lucky me i did. me vs kid with ok deck this was a pretty long match with me winning because i had less cards than him and i drew the right ones most of the time, and i dont believe i could use horn of the unicorn and malevolent nuzzler, it was sweet, kazeijn at 3900, or shadow ghoul at 4600, it was funny, but anyway i swept this duel two wins in like 30 minutes. me vs kid who really didnt have an ok deck he was running an exodia deck, but he didnt know how to play the game. he thought we wernt going to play offers, so his entire deck, of 60 cards, was stacked with offer monsters. so my deck was quick to own his, though he did somehow get 4 pieces of exodia in his hand the 1st time, the 2nd all his friends asked me to spare him, i didnt. me vs kid who ran really huge deck, with exodia again another easy duel, i didnt have too much trouble, except when i kept drawing all magic and trap cards...well i still swept this duel, because he had like 80 cards in his deck, and he didnt know the rules wow, how challenging. me vs best kid in tourney yes, this kid had to be the hardest, he was basically running a very quick beat down deck, in fact he beat me the 1st duel in about 5 minutes because i couldnt stop any of his attacks from his dark magician and la jinn... the second and third match were my moment of triumph, i got all the right cards, coh, mirror force, hell even sword and shield helped (who knew a trap master could inflict 1800 direct damage?) well anyway i busted out his dm with monster reborn and just mamed him, trap hole saved me, as did trap master (got rid of his nasty seven tools of the bandit) damn good duel though me vs time, i had beaten my 4 opponents in a total of 1 hr 30 min, i had to wait 2 hours to duel, so i just chilled, someone tried to trade my crappy cards for his electric lizard... no... me vs guess who? MY BROTHER oh god, this was going to be ghetto because we knew all of each others cards, so he beat me once, and then we just decided to call it quits and call it a draw i let him take the booster packs (2 tourney and 1 magic ruler to the winner, 2 tourney to the 2nd place) but we flipped for the official winner, me... MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA during the tournament my brother called me the joey of the tourney because i should never, AND I MEAN NEVER should have been able to get as far as i did. well anyway it was pretty fun except for half the people didnt know half of the rules(my brother literally had to ask the tournament director about 50 questions because no one would believe him on the rulings, he was wrong on one, the one where you can only flip from face down def, to face up attack, but he was right the tourney director was wrong, i think...) well anyways i think i am going to take out the shadow ghouls and try to rip some peoples barrel dragons off of them, then maybe get a sorl, then my deck would be sweeter... well anyway word down email me at thefifthmessiah@yahoo.com __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
