Now on to the Tournament Report to see how the deck actually performed.

Round One
The Usual Suspects V. The Dreaded Bye

This was actually rather tough, but I have to say the deck really pulled through and got me 
To the 2nd round.

Side Note:  Some How like 4 out of the top 6 got byes the first round so Me, Lou,
Keith, and Crunchy all got byes and then Danny Pulled through in his first match.  My partner 
Tom gets taken down by a new kid at the store and goes into the losers.  Also two newbies 
I brought to try and show the ropes to both go down in the first and are in the losers with Tom,
Better luck next time kids…

Round Two
The Usual Suspects V. Some kid who got a bye 1st round and said “I’m gonna lose”

I would have to say the kid was right…it was a pummeling in the first one he used cards
Like final flame…it was not pretty.  Sorry kid.

Second match, I eased up, but I mean…he activated skull lair with no cards in his graveyard,
Then he activated ominous fortune teller without taking any guesses…he was done.

Side Note:  Lou owns Chi with a nasty onslaught of 3 Kycoos and a Jinzo…I was gonna cry
Danny gets put down, So does Keith bye my next opponent, but Crunch prevails and goes
On with me and Lou.

Round Three
The Usual Suspects V. Lava Golem Stall with burner aspects (kids name was Paul)

Good Deck but its very combo heavy and I just wasn’t letting any of that happen.
First match I just got rid of messenger and it was straight beatdown.  If he set gravity 
Ide just mystical it too, he couldn’t stall me, which is what he really needed.

Second Match, one word…LOCK.  He wasn’t pulling any monsters. I made him use
All of his scapegoats so he couldn’t feed his cannon, so in the end he hit my witch, 
YATA, then he hit my sangan…LILY…and they both just snuck right under his own
Messenger…he got locked.  Oh well better luck next time, still the kids deck was nice.

Side Note:  Lou takes Crunch down nasty style, I didn’t see it…but im sure it was
Some NC-17 tripple X atleast R rated stuff…the number two at the store gets 
Put down by a defensive ominous fortune teller deck…so its me and Lou in the 
Semis…wonder what finals will be…pffffffft

Round Four
The Usual Suspects V Joes little brother whos mom said I shouldn’t underestimate…

I don’t under estimate people I mean he took danny down so he was doin something 
Right.  Either way…I beat this kid down, it wasn’t pretty…that’s all there is to it.
Seriously…I don’t think he touched me.  

Second match…I had him so scared of the yata lock that he wouldn’t use his skull lair
On anything, so he actually let my goblins live long enough to attack not twice…but 
THREE TIMES…and he let my Spears live…so in the end it was my Don, my Gobbies
And two spear dragons…I begged the kid to Skull lair two of them…cause I mean…
Come on…so he did then I laughed cause it was still game.  Im not usually a jerk, but
This kid is hella annoying always picking up my side deck and going “Whats in here”
Without asking…just wanna smack kids like that…

Side Note:  If it wasn’t me and Lou in the finals on my last tournament I would be
Pissed, but its me and Lou in the finals…repeat of last weak? Or will I FINALLY grasp
What has eluded me for so long…a legal tournament Victory???  (See the funny thing is
I already know…cause it happened Monday but you don’t so its actually quite 
Suspenseful for you isn’t it????)

Round Five The Finals
The Usual Suspects V. THE ENFORCER (Beatdown De Lou)

Match One…mother…son of a… he kept chucking my mirror force…upsetting he
Takes this one down…im not a happy camper I want victory…shall I get it?  (See
Just like above I already know…and yah ill get back to the report)

Match Two…Oh yeah no more of that crap…I paid for imperial a few times and crossed
His stupid magician of faith…oh yeah…I also “Reset” the game like 5 times… he was 
Getting super annoyed…I take this one down

Match Three so this is what it would come to on my final day one last epic battle
Of cosmic proportions between the number 1 at the store and the number 3 shadows
Of last week lurk ever near as the matches were tied at one and one who would
Win, who would claim final glorious victory…ME, I would…YES finally Ive won
Oh man ide like to thank God and my parents, my GF, the Academy everyone who
Believed in me…yeah yeah…sorry…couldn’t help myself…send me hate mail…that
Deserves it…Either way our life points were close I wanted the lock but serpent was out
And I knew I wouldn’t get that so he changes my bazoo pumps his own hits my sangan
I get lily then hits me for 25 he didn’t pump mine so that brings me to 3200 and hes at
3800 so…I draw and its…yeah change of heart…not pretty double pump his pump mine
pump the injection…I know…overkill…it wasn’t needed…but he wanted the X-rated
dueling…and Lou when you read this…told you the Lily would deliver the money…

Side Note:  Tom took the losers bracket…big shocker…

That’s the Tourney I’ve finally won, and I would really like to thank in no particular 
Order… Lou (The enforcer), TJ (he carries his deck boxes in a gun case how
Cool is that man…), Tom (my partner), Danny (the feared NecroFEAR), and Crunch
(Crunch is just crazy…he plays blader and Dark Magician…with no paladin in
Site yet…he’s salivating at the next set…lol…but his warriors are still nice) To Chris and Ed for letting me be late at my very first tourney at the store…without that I wouldn’t 
Have kept coming back.

To Me for finally winning
