Now that you have seen my deck here is the rest: My first match: Me (Craig) vs Toon/Blocker Duelist 1st Round - 0 to 5500 We was tied at the very beginning until he unleashed the Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon. He attacked my life points 3 times and then I was done for. 2nd Round - 8000 to 0 This round was all mine he didn't get the right cards he needed. I brought out Little Chimera, Salamandra, Molten Destruction, Dark Hole, Raigeki. I went second. He layed down a monster in defense mode i dark holed it and Gave a big boost to Little Chimera attacked the life points and Rageki his monster and layed down a beefed up Flame Swordsman then Spirit of Flames in the same turn. 3rd Round - 8000 to 7500 This match took forever (literally). Two different duels got done and we were still dueling!!! He brought out DNA Surgery and Insect Barrier and Vengeful Body Smog (i think that is what it is called). So i just stalled by laying down defenses we had three minutes left. He had attacked my Giant Germ and lost the only life points in the round and got decked out. 2nd Match: Me (Craig) vs Dark Deck (Friend:Sean Heffley) 1st Round: 0 to 3000 He annialted me he had a lot of opportunities to take my life points out and he did. 2nd Round: 8000 to 0 Same thing that happenned my 1st match. It was like deja-vu. 3rd Round: 0 to 2000 I had him on the ropes well actually i layed down defenses and he only had Dark Elf to attack with. Then he had a free shot at the life points. --------- Craig Bates dinopowerblast13@yahoo.com
