Tourney Report

This was about my 5th or 6th tourney but my first report. I went with my friend PJ, who I always go with, and my friend Aaron, a newbie with a really good deck for only playing a week and a half. Before I say anything else, I have gots to tell this about my friend Aaron and his "MAGICAL HAND." One day all three of us went to Wal-Mart and we each bought a pack. I got a Dark Necrofear (HELL YEA!), PJ got a Riryoku Field (OK, not sure about the spelling though, looks awesome) and suddenly Aaron pulls an IMPERIAL ORDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So my friend wants to buy another pack and he asks Aaron to pick it for him. Maybe there was some extra good luck. So he just picks one pack at random from the back and we all kinda think its some sort of Spirit Message. We go outside, rip open the pack and it’s MAGIC CYLINDERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We all crack up and praise his hand. (By the way, Aaron lost the tourney first round. Hand ain’t that special I guess)

So we get there and sign up and I try to get rid of the Necrofear I got. Nobody’s biting until I found this one kid that gave me Imperial Order for it. I add it to my deck right away and my name gets called. I’ve been going to this tourney for a while and I have only gotten to the second round. I just hope it’s different today.

Duel #1

This kid was a newbie like my friend and didn’t have that many good cards. He just played like Wingweaver, and Mr. Volcanoes. I knew I had this game one. I was totally right and basically annihilated him. He was a good kid and I felt kinda bad because I got out Gravity Bind early and my life points were not touched. He was a good kid and I offered him a free Cyber Jar but he forgot to get it.

Wins: 2 Losses: 0

Between games I just walk around and see some kids duel and try to get a Mirror Force but no luck.

Duel #2

He was an older kid with the combination of both the Joey and Pegasus starters. He also had some really good cards and for a little bit I thought I was gonna lose but DDR came through for me. The first round we were head to head but I came through with the win. He was a cool guy and he had to go anyway so even if he won the next 2 duels he would let me go to the next round. It didn’t matter anyway because next duel I just beat him down. He tried to activate his Cyber Jar when I had a bunch of effect face-down so I just activated Ceasefire and took the game.

Wins: 4 Losses: 0

Duel #3

Nothing happened between duels so I’m just gonna continue. This guy dueled right next to me first duel and I just wish I caught a glance of his deck but I didn’t. Anyway He played a good beatdown but it wasn’t any match for DDR. He started off with by getting a Summoned Skull out and he attacked but with my skills I just countered it with Magic Cylinders. Then I just kept hitting him with Just Desserts and a Jinzo #7 with a black Pendant. The next was a back and forth game which I ended up winning with a Just Desserts I think.

Wins: 6 Losses: 0

Duel #4

This kid had a good deck. All the good cards like Cylinders, Mage Power, and a United We Stand. First Duel was a long one. I stalled with Swords and Gravity Bind and hit him with an attack from some monsters then some launches by my trusty Cannon Soldier. the next duel he just destroyed me. He Nobleman of Crossout my face down Princess then attecked. I set a Gravity Bind and a face down defense and let him go. Then he pulled a Tribute to the Doomed, Heavy Storm, Bazoo the Soul Eater, La Jinn, then Monster Reborned the Monster the Summoned Skull he discarder, attached a United We Stand and attacked for the game. Next duel I forgot what happened but I know I got beat down easily. He was like my best friend PJ who got beat third round. They both have similar decks. This kid ended up to the finals and he lost.

Wins: 7 Losses: 2

I was happy with how well I did in this tourney I got three Legend of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon packs and got nothing in them. I would have got Labyrinth of Nightmare packs but some kid ran off with stealing a 36 count box. Oh well. I ended up staying until the end and had a couple of duels. Well now some props and slops.

 

Props

• to me for getting past third round

• to Aaron for his magic hand and winning a bunch of cards in duels

• to me for getting Imperial Order

• to my dad for taking us and my mom for taking us home

Slops

• to the kid who beat me

• to the kid who jacked that 36 count box which left me with three sucky LOB packs

• to the sucky kids at my school who has absolutely NOTHING good and runs things like DNA Surgery and Insect Barrier combos that absolutely suck.
