Ok I think the Clowns need a face lift cause they get beat too often and I KNOW how to play and what to side in and the beatdown gets me too much,so I think im going to resort to beatdown with a twist and im redoing the clown deck all over.So wait til next tourny to find out what I did!!!!

Side note: Someguy or anyone from POJO reads this, I dont see how the clowns win tournys cause their weak and some cards work and some dont,the clowns win matches but not tournys as im finding out!!! Anywazzzzzzzz heres the 411!!

Dual 1 J.C.A. vs a Gravity Bind Zombie beatdown kid named Devin.

Winner-J.C.A. 2-0

First dual, nothing much beat him down with some Mages and Hayabusas,second dual same but with some more equipped cards like 4 star and Penguin Soldier.

Breakdown Analysis- nothing much cause he ran Zombies with equips and the usual counter traps (jammers, Mirror Force etc.)

Dual 2 J.C.A. vs I guess the store champ named Phil running a good beat down.

Winner-J.C.A. 2-0,I guess I have good luck beating store champs cause I did it again!!! But the clowns cant proceed beyond that!!

First dual,we beat on each other with all the usual cards and then he special summoned--what-- Dark Necrofear?? First person to get that card out on me,but to no avail cause she was gone in the next turn with Dream Clowns effect and a bind out,guess he should of waited til the bind is gone to do that but it dont matter.I won handily.Second dual, he got me good with a change of hearted Hayabusa with Mage Power but that was it,he did the Necrofear thing again (2 times in one game whoa!!) that monster is weak, 2200 attack dont scare me and the effect is easy to counter,but the drawing of the card and the fact its an ultra rare makes it one of the coolest looking cards in the game (with Jinzo,Imp Order,Barrel Dragon,Swords andTime Wizard the others) That was all, the traps came through for me.

Dual 3 J.C.A. vs Brian with Sword and Shield Defense

Winner him 2-0 Boo-Hoo!!

AnyHooo heres how it went,First dual we exchanged blows with level 3 monsters and the bind let me down this game so I thought thats cool ill get him next 2 duals,but nope he got me there too!!! Second dual same way.

Highlights of the matches was as follows,Me attacking face down Island Turtles in the first match with me thinking ok a defense deck ill blow through it but I lost too much life points on the face down Tortugas and then a couple switches of Shield and Sword with Fissure and he got me,on the second match I Prohibitioned his Fissure and drew my other 2 to late in the game to help.It seemed that he trap-holed every thing in site and along with me hitting a face down Magician of Faith early on with Nobleman of Crossout, drained my monsters to none thats why he attacked easily,the kicker was me doing 1000 damage with Nimble and him going next and reborning a Giant Soldier for the win cause I had 300 life points left and he attacked Nimble for the win!!!!!

So now I have a new hated card which is Trap Hole,and Nobleman hasnt been my friend lately so thats just some cards to deal with here soon! Ill start probally with the removal of Nobleman out of my deck and start Prohibiting Trap-Hole,because I can deal with Heavy Storm and jinzo now (with Jammers,Imp Order,and Mask of Restrict staples) and Mage Power and United helps out to beat jinzo so im not worried about Jinzo any more.The only good card Nobleman has hit recently has been Man Eater Bug but thats it..

Props to: The dude behind the counter for awesome trade ins on my worthless rares doubles like Gravity Bind,Prohibition etc also I traded in a first edition Torrential Tribute and got 50 bucks credit, with all total I had 100 bucks in trade and got a holo Ch of Heart,Dark Necrofear and a first edition Jinzo!!! More props to, Good Times restaurant,trading my Dragon Seeker for a snatch steal and Fiend Megacyber, 3 dollar entry fee.

Slops to: The long drive to Loveland just to get to the semifinals (could of done that here in Denver) nobody to trade with like at Valhallas in Denver,70$ price tag on Gemini Elf in dudes case, my son losing with Exodia again, stupid Trap Hole, and Nobleman of Crossout- with that card I hit MY opponents Magician of Faith 3 times,Penguin Soldier and Cyber jar, to the naked eye that would be good but guess what, I RUN THOSE CARDS IN MY DECK TOO!!!-which hurt me too.Peace.
