I use their effects to do direct damage with the help of Last Will, Soul Exchange, and even Swords & Shield (best with Catapult Turtle). Just Desserts and Princess of Tsuguri helps with the direct damage. Wabaku, Messenger of Peace, and the high DEF monsters stalls time until I could get Cannon or Catapult out. I could improved this deck by getting 1 more Sangan, Magician of Faith, and Messenger of Peace. If anyone has any comments or improvement ideas, please email me. My email address is at the bottom of this report. This is my 3rd time entering this tournement. The last 2 tournements I was in 3rd/4th place. My first week I used a "F/S Beatdown",and second week was a "Decking/Hand Destruction" deck. I was first place for this week's tournement. This tournement allows Magic Ruler cards, and Japanese cards but they must have an English Counterpart. The matches werer best 2 out of 3. People who got the highest wins/lost ratio at the end of 4th or 5th match goes to the semi-finals(top 4). Now on with my results... Round 1 (win) vs Lito(Mixed OFF/DEF Deck) Me:8000-7200-4700 (win) He:8000-4500-2700-1200-200-0 This was a quick match. He didn't have any attacking monsters out to attack me. He just had face down monsters and so I just kept flinging my monsters away with my Cannon Soldier. Me:8000-7900-7800-7700-7600-7500-7400-6900-6400-5900-5800-4300 (win) He:8000-7000-5500-4000-2500-2000-1000-500 I luckily drawn a Messenger of Peace on my first turn so I quickly play it and now his offensive monsters were useless. With me assuring that he cant attack me, I kept flinging my monsters away. Round 2 (lost) vs Travis (Turbo Exodia Deck) Me:8000-7500-6150-3350 He:8000-7500-7000-6000 (win) I thought he would be a Defensive Exodia Deck but I was wrong -_- He kept killing my defensive monsters with Tribute to the Doom and Summoned Skull. Evenutally he receieved all his pieces. Me:8000-7500-7000-6000-5000-3150-2650 He:8000-3900-3600-3100-1300 (win) We kept killing each other monsters. I had a chance to fling my monsters but he destroy it with fissure -_- I was so close of defeating him because of my Swords and Shield but he used Raigeki and killed me with Summoned Skull and Battle Ox. Round 3 (win) vs Scott (Defensive Barrel Dragon Deck?) Me:8000-7200-6200 (win) He:8000-10000-9600-9100-8600-7100-6600-6100-5600-4200-3700-2700-1450 He was so lucky that he drawn 2 Dian Keto on his first turn but that didn't matter. He also had a Gravekeeper's Servant out but that don't matter either because he could never draw a monster out so I just fling & fling my precise monsters away :) Me:8000 (win) He:8000-3000-0 This was the quickest match ever in my whole life! (well not really, I won a duel in my second turn) He still can't seem to get any monsters out this duel too. Well I first place a Man-Eater Bug down(1st turn) then a Prevent Rat (2nd turn), then flip MEB and destroy his only monster on the field and tribute it for Labyrinth Wall and use Swords & Shield and does ***5000*** direct damage to him(3rd turn). On my next turn, I was surprised I drawn another Swords & Shield and ding dong, he is finished. Round 4 (win) vs Kara (Defensive Cheese Deck) Me:8000-7700-6700-5400-4000-3000-2000 (win) She:8000-7000-5700-3500-2500-2000-1500-0 She is one of the top duelist/strategist in this tournement (why? because I practically lost to her on the last 2 matches out of 3 from earlier tournements) Well lets jsut say her stalling with Toll deck doesn't work on me anymore. She did got a chance to destroy all my monsters and keept attacking me with her little weenies but I stop all that with a single Prevent Rat and then destroy her with constant flinging (thank God for Last Will) Me:8000-7200-5700 (win) She:8000-7000-3500 We did some damage on our 2nd/3rd turn but I used Cyber Jar and so we keep putting down more and more monsters until the both of us were 5-monsters full on our fields (we didn't have Just Desserts on our field/hand and she kept using Swords of Reveling Light) I luckily Drawn a Swords & Shield and I was more lucky that I had kept a Heavy Storm on my hand(she had 3 trap/magic cards face down). I use that first because I know she had a Solemn Judgement and so she counter that card. She fall for it and I use Swords & Shield and destroy her with 3 of my DEF monsters and fling them with 2 of my Cannon soldiers(all of her monsters were face up) Here is a note to ya, its great to know what your opponent has in his/her deck, but it's greater to know how they think. Round 5 (win) vs Huy(friend) (Defensive Burner Deck) Me:8000-7000-6000-5000-4500-4000-3000-2100-100-0 He:8000-65000-5500-5100-4600-3600-2100-100 (win) He forfeit the match because he wanted me to get into the semi-finals. If he win(he sure did) then neither of us would be in the semi-finals. So we decided to play a friendly match. Well I just fling my monsters away while he kept using Just Desserts/Princess of Tsuguri. I lost because of his Mask of Darkness. He was able to use its ability and recycle a Just Desserts. Curse his Just Desserts! (I played with him quite a few times already with his new deck earlier this week that I MADE FOR HIM) Me:8000-7000-6850-6700-5900-2900-900-0 He:8000-7500-6500-5500-4500-2000 (win) Lets just put it this way. I could of beaten him with my Cannon Soldier but he used Just Desserts beefore I could even launch my army -_- (I shouldn't have help him on making his deck but then again, he is a friend of mine, more like my lil bro's friend) Round 6 (Semi-Finals,Win) vs John(lil bro) (Beatdown Deck) Me:8000-4200-100-0 He:8000-7000-4500-4200 (win) I lost to him because of his Raigeki, Fissure, and Dark Hole. I couldn't defend myself and so his pump up Jirai Gumo kick my butt. Me:8000-7700 (win) He:8000-5700-4300-2900-1400-0 I first hit him pretty hard with my Cannon Soldier(direct damage) then fling my Sanga with last will and fling anotehr monster to do 2300 damage. Then I fling some more monsters while he couldn't do anything because he didn't have any attacking monster. I won the match with a single Cannon Soldier Me:8000-5100 (win) He:8000-7500-4800-4300-3300-2400-1200 He did a direct damage to me with a Pumped Jirai Gumo on his 2nd turn and he was lucky that he call for a right flip -_- Well I destroyed it with Cyber Jar and then I kept flinging my monsters until he is just plain dead. Soul Exchange and Last Will helps a lot :D Round 7 (Finals, Win) vs Anthony(friend) (Monster Removal Deck) Me:8000-7000-5300-3600-1800 (win) He:8000-7000-4600-1800-400-0 He almost defeated me with his lvl 4 monsters but I Dark Hole it. Then I had a Single Cannon Soldier out and attack him directly for 2 turns. Then I fianlly launch himself to finish off the game. Me:8000-5700-3200-700-0 He:8000-7000-6500-5500-4500 (win) I do not like his Tribute to the Doom. He used that on me 3 times and attack my directly. I really really don't liek that card -_- I don't like his Magic Jammer too grrrrrrrrrrr He stopped my Dark Hole with that, and so he won the 2nd duel. Me:8000 (win) He:8000-3000-1200 Same as the match with Scott. Labyrinth Wall + Prevent Rat + Swords & Shield = 5000 damage. Then I used my Magician of Faith to reuse the Swords and Shield and bingo, he is dead. He couldn't get any monsters out and when he did, I killed it with Raigeki. I recieved $25 of Store Credit. I bought another Catapult Turtle ($8) and a first edition Magic Ruler Booster for my little brother ($7) so I had $10 left. I am going to save it for later when the Store has better singles.
