Alright now that the deck is posted let's get this thing started.  I started 
the day off with a
rude awakening by my little brother whom wanted to practice duel.  I played 
him with this deck
while he used an awesome beatdown.  His deck had 3 Goblin Attack Forces,3 
Geminis, 3 kycoos,
Jinzo, and good magic's like Harpie's feather duster. I thought for sure this 
weak deck could
not win and if it did just barely squeeze the win in......I DOMINATED!!

So I head over to the tournament and they call off the names and we begin the 
tournament.

Round 1
Suicide Bomber Vs. Craig Bricco

1st duel
I saw that this kid had like an 80 card deck and I knew I had already won 
just because of my 
experience.  First move I set something like a jinzo # 7, and then he plays 
baby dragon and
kills it.Hmmm the kid has bad cards in his deck but may kick my butt.  So 
with his attack being
too high for anything in my hand I set a mask of darkness (with no traps in 
my graveyard).  He
summons dream clown but for some reason doesn't attack (Whew! that was close) 
So next turn I 
still have jack crap in my hand and set a magician of faith (no magic cards 
in my graveyard).
He starts off by switching his dream clown to defense to kill my mask of 
darkness and to my luck
sacrifices both his cards for the red eyes black dragon.  He said I'll 
attack! I told him he 
couldn't and when he asked why not I revealed Gravity Bind.  He was not able 
to attack for the
rest of the game. Finished him off with 2 jinzo 7's and a rainbow flower with 
an axe.

me: 8000 lp
him: 0lp

2nd duel
He pulled a bunch of beatdown cards and it with 3 clowns on the field it 
didn't last very long.
I totally ran this duel like I owned it.

me: 8000 lp
him: 0lp

Round 2
Suicide Bomber Vs. Arturo Martin

1st duel
This kid had the worst exodia deck ever!!  He had like 50 cards, had beatdown 
cards, and the
cards I hate the most Toll and Ground Collapse.  I saw that it took him 
forever to finish 
the first round and anticipated a slow slow game.  He started of playing a 
monster in defense I 
dark holed it and attacked for 1200 with a dream clown.  He played Ground Collapse 
and summoned crass clown and attacked my dream clown but I played Gravity bind.  Next turn 
I summon another 
dream clown switched the one I had in defense and attacked for 1200.  I 
continued this and 
within 5 turns I had 2 dream clown's 1 crass clown, a face down Man-eater bug 
and magician of 
faith.  He obviously had a clear field I also used every MST on his Ground 
Collapses and Tolls.
He forfeit.
me: 8000 lp
him: forfeit

2nd duel
I expected this to be the same as last duel except I didn't count on pulling 
such an awesome
hand.  I put in some side deck cards consisting of 2 exchanges, card 
destruction, and a sangan.
I had about 2 clowns in the end but the real damage was those jinzo 7's that 
attacked 
repeatedly and when I flipped morphing jar he forfeit again.  What a quitter! me:7200 lp him:forfeit 

Round 3
Suicide Bomber Vs. Shawn Flores

Alright it took me a while to find this kid among the group but turns out I 
had to face a 
little shorty.  He was about 13 and seem to have known who I was.  His 
friends warned that he 
was doomed and he stepped up bravely to accept the inevitable. 

1st duel
He played a beatdown but it was beatdown that people used like when metal 
raiders came out.
The first turn he played bistro butcher.  I set 2 traps and let him go.  He 
attacked with
bistro and I allowed it just to get some cards.  He attacked with a La Jinn 
and I Mirror Forced
that. Muahaha pure evil!  Well with my brand new hand of like 7 cards I 
summoned dream clown 
and attacked.  He played Heavy storm and I was upset but not too upset 
because I lost a gravity
bind but had another in my hand.  He attacked me with a 7 colored fish.  Next 
turn I set my 
other gb and set a crass clown.  Next I played jinzo 7 and attacked.  He 
spent his turns 
building his forces my forces built as well I had crass clown, dream clown, 
and 2 jinzo 7's.  I
only destroyed face-down monsters and whittled his life points to nothing.
me: 5600 lp
him: 0 lp

2nd duel
This pretty much started the same as the other one ended but with a less 
stoppable last attack.
I built up my force and so did he.  I was forced to prohibition Giant Soldier 
of Stone.  I 
attacked a little and cannon soldier'd my force to a direct 2500.
me: 7100
him: 0

Round 4
Suicide Bomber Vs. Jawon 

This was a very amusing match for me because I controlled everything.

1st duel
I started off with Messenger of Peace and a prohibition for Heavy Storm.  I 
set a crass clown. 
He had nothing to stop me so he summoned an 1800atk monster to save his lp  I 
summoned jinzo 7
and attacked saving the clown effect for something useful.  He used snatch 
steal on my jinzo 7
allowing me to gain more than I recieved this lasted for awile.  He set a 
card in defense and 
ended. I summoned dream clown returned the face-down card to his hand and 
attacked again for 
500.  I set up a decent force. Whittled away with cannon soldier launching my 
face-up MOF, MOD,
MEB, and cyber jar b/c I didn't want him to get a better hand so I didn't use 
the effect.  
10 min. from the beginning I won.
me: 9100 lp
him: 0

2nd duel
He was very angry by this point and you could see it on his face.  He didn't 
have much in his 
deck that could stop me.  It ended with a suicidal cannon soldier team.  He 
tried hard but this
day he learned that his deck isn't able to face everything.
me: 4900 lp
him: 0 lp

Round 5
Suicide Bomber Vs. David Valle 

Ok I once taught this kid to be good with the cards that were available.  The 
problem was I 
helped too many people the easy kids soon became my arch enemies.  They 
couldn't be stopped.
Now the world is safe again a new box was released and they are stuck in the 
past and this kid
makes his deck a little too big with all the wrong cards.

1st round
I know this kid just recently got harpie's feather duster so I start out with 
gravity bind and 
Prohibition for a heavy storm.  I summon a dream clown and end.  He doesn't 
have much to work 
with which is very possible with his deck and he sets a couple traps and 
summons an attacking
monster. I slowly build up my clowns destroying his face-down card he feels 
will allow him to
gain control and I add another prohibition for Harpie feather duster and 
messenger of peace. 
I do some life point damage with jinzo 7's and used change of heart on his 
face
down card...Wow! it's a magician of faith so I sacrifice it with cannon 
soldier and change of
heart his kycoo and sack it too. a few turns later he gets out Jinzo and I 
Raigeki it.  No 
biggie.  uh-oh!!!! He finally got the card he needs... he summons man-eater 
bug and adds united
we stand...OH CRAP! That sneaks under gravity bind...too bad he wasn't 
thinking because he had
two other face-up monsters and boosted his attack to 2850 and couldn't get 
under Messenger of 
Peace.  So give a round of applause for that move (clap, clap, clap...moron). 
 I finish with 
cannon soldier.
me: 3700 lp
him: 0 lp

2nd round
I ended up having the greatest field ever consisting of 2 prohibitions for 
Harpie Feather 
Duster and Heavy Storm, Messenger of Peace, Gravity Bind, and Imperial order, 
I had 2 clowns,
cannon soldier, and effect cards.  He tried to go at me with man-eater bugs 
and cyber jar but 
that attempt was in vain.  He was about to deck me and he still had 3300 life 
points left but
I pulled my favorite card and with the field full I set it.  I said "Your 
turn" and activated
Ceasefire! This did 4000 points of direct damage winning me the game.
me: 2700 lp
him: 0 lp

Round 6(final round)
Suicide Bomber Vs. Jimmy(Jr. Tournament Champ)

This kid has a pretty universal deck.  It's nice to have because it can face 
almost everything,
but against the mightyiest beatdown it usually falls victim to it's power.

1st duel
I know this kid has hyabusa knight and I know he has equip cards.  He also 
has Giant Soldier
of Stone.  I was a tad bit nervous not knowing what kind of hand he beheld.  
I am not sure what
happened exactly this round but I'm pretty sure it was close but I think it 
consisted of a 
prohibition and both Messenger of Peace and Gravity bind.  He did manage to 
get hyabusa knight
out and do a little damage but because he could not boost it my dream clown 
killed it. I soon
got back the field and got his life points low enough for the cannon soldier 
ritual which needs
5 sacrifices haha 2500 directly and no way to stop it.
me: 4800 lp
him: 0 lp

side deck:  He went into his side deck to retrieve some cards such as 
prohibition and a couple
others, but I saw him take out ceasefire!  A little memo to Jimmy because I 
know his dad will
see this "Don't take out ceasefire when you are playing a deck full of effect 
monsters."  I do
like the little paper though that said what to take out and what to replace 
it with for every
type of deck.

2nd duel
Really soon he released jinzo and destroyed my field entirely no traps, no 
monsters and 
attacked.  I played cannon soldier, change of heart on his jinzo, attacked 
directly for 3800, 
then sacrificed it for an additional 500.  It was awesome.  I had held that 
in my hand for a 
while now waiting patiently for jinzo(where was the limiter removal when you 
needed it haha).  
With only 3700lp I hoped it would soon be over I ended that turn with a 
messenger of peace.  
It's kind of nice having 3 of both MOP and GB b/c you get them like every 6 
or 7 cards almost
1 for every first hand.  I played ceasefire once for 1500 damage and set a 
mask of darkness.  
Next turn, flipped MOD, and got back ceasefire.  I set ceasefire and ended.  
He drew 
prohibition but could not prohibit ceasefire because it was already on the 
field so he 
prohibitioned Gravity bind.  I drew a jinzo 7 and set it in defense flipped 
ceasefire for 2500 
damage and won the match.


Well that's the tournament.  It was the first time ever in our store that a 
gravity bind deck
won.  With a tourny with tons of people the beatdown always comes in first so 
I set the record.
It was fun and tense I hope I can keep it up with future theme decks I plan 
to play.

Props:
To Bill for holding the biggest tournament in Illinois.  
To pojo for allowing me to read the many tips I use in my decks. To myself and my 
own genius to think of the many other combos possible. To ceasefire for being awesome. 
To Bill again for having every card I could ever need and giving me the hook 
up.

Slops:
To the heart of the cards for failing my friend cody and allowing him to lose 
in the 2nd round.
To myself for allowing my deck to be 41 cards instead of 40.
To change of heart for allowing me to kill jinzo with my cannon soldier I 
really needed that.
To anyone who attempts to email me at Gz83@aol.com only to tell me my deck 
sucks.

Well in the words of a suicide bomber, "Die you B*&^*%*&^" Wait scratch 
that... Goodbye, I hope you enjoyed my report.
