Well, I have a new deck for this one. I can simultaneously switch from my 
fiend to my burn deck and play competatively with both. Before the 
tournament, I almost got a Royal Decree. The kid wanted to wait until after 
the tournament. I saw another Decree pulled today as well. It is the 3rd one 
in 2 weeks! But no Morphing Jar yet. Anyway, I did pretty good with this 
deck. Here it is.

Monsters:
1x Jinzo
1x Amazoness Swordswoman (helps, believe it or not)
3x Des Koala
2x Princess of Tsurugi
3x Giant Germ
1x Dice Jar (usually screws me over if I don't have BBtD down)
1x Sinsister Serpent
1x Fiber Jar
2x Spear Cretin
1x Cyber Jar
1x Sangan
1x Witch
1x Magician of Faith

Magic:
3x Poison of the Old Man
3x Tremendous Fire
1x Wave-Motion Cannon
1x Change of Heart
1x Monster Reborn
1x Pot of Greed
1x Graceful Charity
2x Chain Energy
1x Raigeki
1x Harpie's Feather Duster
1x Swords

Traps:
3x Secret Barrel
3x Just Desserts
2x Barrel Behind the Door
1x Ring of Destruction
1x Imperial Order
1x Magic Cylinder
3x Waboku
1x Ceasfire

This is strictly a burn deck, which is why there is no Mirror Force, Call, 
Premature, etc. in here. This deck did pretty good for my first tournament 
with it.

First Round: Me vs. Gavin
He runs a sort of beatdown/XYZ deck. I have beaten him before with this deck 
for fun, so I knew I had this. First deul, I get him down with a Chain 
Energy, some Koala, and my Secret Barrels. This was over pretty quick.

Second deul, it was a little harder because he got out a Catapult Turtle (?) 
and I kept attacking it with my Swordswoman for about 500 a turn, and I got 
in my Germs and a Koala, Secret Barrel. The usual deul.

Second Round: Me vs. Adam
This guy stockpiles things and then sells/buys stuff in bulk. We get coupons 
for packs and he collected about 20 of them and got a Decree last week. 
Anyway, this first deul didn't go so well. He got out Ha Des, Airknight, and 
something else, so I lost pretty quick.

Second deul, it was my turn. Although, on my first turn, all I got was 
Cretin, Tremendous, 2 Just Desserts and 2 Secret Barrels. I got him down 
pretty far then whipped out 2 Chain Energy. I thought I was gone, but I 
pulled through thanks to some early Poisons. I won with 2600 left.

The third deul was nerve-wracking. We were exchanging hits and stuff, until 
I got down really low with no monsters and he took my Koala with Reborn and 
equipped it with Axe. Luckily, on my next turn, I got Ring and forced a 
draw. Since I had 600 points more when I won, I won the match.

Third Round: Me vs. Conon
Me and conon are best friends and we usually win about the same amount of 
times. This round was going good until I was down to 2500 and he was at 100. 
I had to take the opportunity. The only way I could win was to flip Dice 
Jar. Why not? I didn't have BBtD down, but all I needed was to win the roll. 
I rolled a five...conon rolled........................six. Son of a 
*&^#%!!!!! He is extremely lucky with dice. Whenever we play dice games like 
Risk, or something else, he is really lucky. Well, I lost that one.

This time, it was a little closer. He destroyed my Cyber Jar early. I got 
Spear Cretin when he had 5 monsters and got back Cyber. He didn't know that 
though, so he attacked. Eventually, I was down to one monster...Dice Jar. Of 
all things. I was at like, 1000-1800, and he was at about 2500. I roll...a 
two. He rolls........five. Again, stupid Dice Jar screwed me over. I need to 
only play it when I have BBtD down, no matter what.

Well, Don went on to win the tournament against conon. He usually wins. They 
didn't get anything in their packs. Oh well.

After the tournament, Forrest got the Decree from a kid that got it from 
somebody else who pulled it last week. He traded 3 Spear Dragon, Marauding 
Captain, Exiled Force, Ring of Destruction, maybe Breaker, Amazoness 
Swordswoman, 2 Goblin Attack Force, and some other cards that eventually 
added up to about $350+ for Royal Decree. He got screwed over and he knows 
it, which is why I always call him stupid. But my haul was pretty good for 
the day. Here is what I got in trades: 2 Amazoness Swordswoman, Amazoness 
Archers, LoB Gaia the Fierce Knight, Metalmorph, Spear Dragon, Horn of 
Heaven, Magic Jammer, and another Mirage of Nightmare. I traded away, like, 
almost, if not, all of my fiend deck holos. But that's fine by me, because 
now I am going to go with an Amazoness deck. My first was pretty good, but I 
needed some cards.

Props:
- getting far with my deck in it's first tourney
- getting a lot of good or going-out-of-print cards
- watching forrest losing so many cards
- conon getting pretty far
- third guy to pull a Royal Decree (don't know who)
- Papa John's (even though Pizza Inn is better)
- Mountain Dew (even though Pepsi Vanilla is better)
- my mom for driving me

Slops:
- Not getting Royal Decree from Cody who said he was most likely going to 
trade me it and would not trade forrest it
- Don for winning
- conon for beating me
- not getting morphing jar or decree
- stupid for fun tournament that doesn't allow a third place prize in the 
competative one
- school sucking

Not much else. If you have any replies, you think your burn/fiend/amazoness 
deck could beat mine, have any questions, or whatever, email me at 
soccerduck89@hotmail.com.
