In this tourney, there was about, ohhh 60 people. What they did is everyone would play 3 people and give the judge their score. The 16 people with the top scores would move on to the Top 16. Did I make it? Well you’ll have to read the games to find out. BTW this was first time going to this tourney. Game one ME vs. Dark Paladin user This was this kids first time there too so it worked out good. He tried playing HFD to kill my stuff, but Imperial order was the dominant guy. I didn’t lock him but don and reaper were hurting his hand. He set a card, I typhooned it, it was Polymerization. Oh well, I attacked and game. Next duel was pretty much the same except I remember that spear dragon was doing a lot of work this game. Breaker did some stuff but it was the first game like I said and I couldn’t remember much only that I won. My reacord 2-0 Game 2 Me vs. Yata deck This guy I liked because he was a fellow yata user. The first game I did some hand destruction but he stayed in strong. My witch was killed early, so I got cyber jar, just incase anything were to go wrong. And it did. He tried to yata lock me so I played kuriboh. So I draw and he plays drop off. Kind of a waste of a kuriboh. Anyway I set cyber jar oh and drop off got rid of dark hole btw. His turn he couldn’t do anything so he just attacked it with his don and cyber gave me a NICE field. He got crap so I just finished him. The next game had some errors. He went first and summoned Don and set a card. My turn I played duster and destroyed his mirror force. Then I snatched don and played a reaper, And got rid of two cards from his hand. His turn he set one card face down. My turn I play mst on his card and it was scapegoat. Then I just raigeked all the little sheep. Then hit him with don and reaper and got rid of his RAIGEKI! He was mad and said he should of done it the other way. This went on for a few more turns until he finaly drew a mst. Played mst and got back don and attacked reaper and got rid of one card in my hand. Finally I killed the don, pulled out breaker and just finished the last of his LP. My record 4-0 Game 3 Me vs. Dong Dinh He also had a hand destruction deck that was good. First we played slow just trying to relieve the field of cards. He Noblemaned my sangan then did some other stuff. Then we kept going back and forth. Finally he drew messenger of peace. My turn. He had no cards in his hand and only had messenger of peace on the field. What do you think I drew? Lock and game. Next game was the same as the last with out the lock but less work. He attacked fiber jar thankfully cus I had crap and he had total field advantage. When he did that the table turned and he was the one in deep u know. A pulled out a force and kept attacking his lp. Finaly after I won, he kept drawing cards until we could see when his next monsters were gonna come up. All of his monsters were at the bottom of his deck. It was cool. My record 6-0 I made it to the top 16 so lets see what happens next. Game 4 Me vs. some kid I cant remember all that well In this and the upcoming rounds, it was all single elimination. So u either won this game or went home and cried. The only thing really I remember about this is that I won and that he played a couple of fissures. Honestly there was nothing to help me remember this. Sorry. Me record 7-0 Game 5 Me vs. a confident little mouthy kid. This kid was very cocky and reminded me of a certain moron where I usually have tourneys at. I played forceful sentry to start it off and sent his penguin soldier back. Then I set serpent and a trap and was done. He summoned murading captain by itself and attacked. I activated Magic cylinder, stopping the attack, burning him just a little, and giving me a chance to set up a deffence. Gaint germ was the next thing I set. His turn he just attacked serpent. My turn I played a little more deffenstive and set fiber. He didn’t do anything so it was my turn again. Flipped fiber and got some of my beat down guys and well…. he wasn’t cocky no more ;-) My record 8-0 Game 6 Me vs. Levi Nissen (the store champ) semi-finals I’ve played this kid before so it was basically the same thing that happened at the other tournament that I played him at. He was using his beatdown deck and I know not to try to lock a beatdown. I played defense for most of the game. Germs to some off him and so did some of my other monsters until it came down to the ending. I played some spell card and he played IO and kept it out there for a few turns then finally stopped. Then he played monster reborn and then I activated IO. I paid for mine the rest of the game. He set a fiber jar. I had exiled force in my hand and so I decided to have it kill it. That took some weight of my shoulders. Most of the game he was at 4700 lp. On my I tributed one of my 2 germs for jinzo and switched the other germ to attack mode. I also had T-I Virus out there from a few turns earlier. So I attacked. Game. Afterwords he asked for some advise on making a yata deck and I just said “Burn.” Hey I do have some burner cards in my deck so hey that’s y I said it. 9-0 Me vs. Exodia deck Finals >From what I heard that day when I had to play him, everyone told me that he had one every time with Exodia. I really had no fear because being a hand disruptor deck well u know. I started by setting sangan and drop off and ring. His turn I played the drop off and he said quote “ah I see I’m gonna be having a challenge.” He killed sangan so I got kuriboh in case of any problems. He summoned breaker and tried to break the ring so I just activated it killed breaker. Next turn I played premature burial on sangan and and attacked. Then he pulled breaker with premature and we kept going back and forth. Finally reaper was my deffence. I played confiscation to see what his 2 cards in his hand were. Exodia’s head an arm or leg, couldn’t remember. I tossed the head. Finally we went back and forth. Played monster reborn on sangan and tributed it for jinzo and attacked his magical merchant. He had 200 lp left I had 1100. Talk about close. His move. He played pot of greed and set a monster in deffence and changed his breaker and witch t o def. my turn. I drew the best top deck I could ever ask for. Spear dragon. Attacked the witch and it was game. I had finally won an official Upperdeck Tournament My Final reacord 10-0 PROS: ;- ) My gramps for takin me and my cus.
