This was my first tournament and only second week of playing with these cards! My first opponent was my brother who has played several months now, but I defeated him quickly the first two rounds without even needing my Exodia cards. Round Two was actually quite difficult because my opponent had Gate-Guardian and 3 Blue Eyes White Dragons, the only thing he was lacking was strategy. It took a while for each round but eventually I was able to get my Exodia cards and win the second round with 1250 life points remaining. Round Three was an opponent who has obviously watched too much yu-gi-oh on T.V. From what I could tell, his deck was nearly exactly the same as Yu-gi-oh's on T.V. including the Exodia cards! But thanks to some strategy I defeated him using MY Dark Magician card along with the Book of Secret Arts. Round Four(the finals). I don't realy know how this guy made it this far because the first round was quickly won by me with only two monsters on the field (Dark Magician, Curse of Dragon). Unfortunately I lost the second round because he used a Card Destruction card to get rid of four of my Exodia pieces. The last duel I really wasn't sure what to expect, he lost quickly the first round, but won the second round. Nevertheless I played my usual strategy (trying to get Exodia) and got lucky enough that when he used his card destruction, I had no Exodia pieces in my had and happened to draw two in my next hand, ultimately leading to a 2/3 duel for me! YAY!!! Well that's it my first Tournament WIN.
