ROUND ONE - Me vs. Mike

As far as tough goes, this guy was one of the toughest in the tournament.
He had an all earth deck. On his first turn he played Graceful Charity and then
put four monsters on the field. He special summoned 2 Gilasaurus. Then he special
summoned the Rock Spirit. For his normal summon, it was a Goblin Attack Force.On
my turn I could only put a monster in defense mode. On his turn he made summoned
Battle Ox. He killed my monster with The Rock Spirit and swarmed me with the rest.
I only 1200 life points left. For my last effort I through out a dark hole, hoping
that he had no monsters. Luckily enough he had no monsters. Then I put up Swords
of Revealing Light. Put La Jinn in attack mode and attacked his life points. On
his turn he played fissure to get rid of my La Jinn. Then he played mystical space typhoon on my Swords of Revealing Light. On my turn I summed Kycoo the Ghost Destroyer and equipped Malevolent Nuzzler to it. Then I attacked his life points. On his turn he played Dark Hole and summoned Gemini Elf and attacked my life points. He won the dual.

ROUND TWO - Me vs. Jeremy

This dualist wasn't as hard as Mike, but he could still take your life points in 3 turns. On my first turn, I summoned La Jinn the Mystical Genie of the Lamp and played Trap Hole face down. On his turn he summoned Gemini Elf and I activated the Trap Hole. On my next turn I summoned Cannon Soldier. Then I played Monster Reborn and took his Gemini Elf. I attacked him with all three. That brought his life points down to 2900. On his turn he put a monster in defense mode and played Swords of Revealing Light. Then I drew one of my three Mystical Space Typhoons and got rid of his Swords of Revealing Light. Then I tributed my La Jinn for Summoned Skull. I attacked with Summoned Skull and killed his monster. Then I attacked with the other two monsters and wiped out his life points.

FINAL ROUND - Me vs. John

This guy's deck was some of everything. On my first turn I put Wall of Illusion in defense mode and put Swords of Revealing Light out on the field with Mystic Plasma Zone. On his turn he summoned Goblin Attack Force and attacked my Wall of Illusion. It was destroyed, but the Goblin Attack Force was sent back to his hand. I drew a Giant Germ and I summoned it. Then, I attacked his life points for 1500 because of Mystic Plasma Zone. Then he summoned his Goblin Attack Force again and attacked. That brought me to 7200. He took 500 life points and I got to search my deck for my other Giant Germs and put them in on the field attack mode, because of its effect. On my turn I tributed one of the Giant Germs for Beast of Talwar. I attacked his Goblin Attack Force with Beast of Talwar and then attacked his life points directly with the Giant Germ. That brought him to 4000 life points. All he could do on his next turn was put a monster in defense mode and lay a card face down. On my turn I just attacked and he activated Mirror Force. Since I didn't make my summon, I summoned Cannon Soldier. On his turn he put another monster in defense mode. Then I summoned Kycoo the Ghost Destroyer. I destroyed his monster with Cannon Soldier, then attacked his life points with Kycoo. That brought him to 1700. Then I used Cannon Soldier's effect and tributed Kycoo to do 500 to his life points. on his next turn he played dark hole. Then he summoned Darkfire Soldier #1 and attacked my life points directly. On my turn I played Premature Burial and got my Beast of Talwar back. Then I attacked his Darkfire Soldier. That took all of his life points, because Mystic Plasma Zone raised Beast of Talwar's attack by 500.
