3 Wall of Illusion [ La Jinn cant beat it ]
2 Witch of the Black Forest [ search ]
2 Summoned Skull [ 2 is good for me ]
2 Dark Elf [ destroys Wall of Illusion ]
2 White Magic Hat [ Discard a card ]

Magic (10):
2 Heavy Storm [ get rid of those magic and traps ]

1 Monster Reborn [i like bringing back my Summoned Skull ]
1 Pot of Greed [ helps my deck a lot ]
1 Raigeki [ Ownage ]
1 Dark Hole [ everyone dies ]
1 Change of Heart [ Ownage ]

Traps (7):
3 traphole [ Every deck has a Traphole in it]

My deck is 40

Sidedeck (15):
3 7 Colored Fish
3 Tribute to the Doom[ discarding is to much ]
3 Waboku [ it isnt fast enough for my deck ]
3 Fissure [ doesn't kill big things ]
2 Mask of Darkness [ bring back a trap ]
1 Magic Jammer [ Best counter card ]

It was single elimination like always. Now, let me tell you what happen.
