After Losing 2 weeks ago in the first round to Chris Cruz, fellow tourney writer, I was pretty pissed. I went to Washington, D.C., last week and I couldn't come.

my deck total : 41 cards

on to the matches.

round 1
Me vs. J.C.
This is my friend's Carnegie's little brother. He was about 11 or 12. He was running a weenie rush-beatdown-annoying deck. I had him in the first duel when I summoned Jinzo when he had a gravity bind on the field. I started the beatdown from there. Second duel, he beats me. Third duel, he plays MoP and slowly drains his own life away. I rarely make mistakes, but I played Hayabusa knight and eqiupped him with AoD. I ended up winning by playing Cyber jar in attack mode for the win when he had 700 LP left.
I advance to round 2

Round 2
Me vs. Fazaad.
I never played this guy before, but would always see him. I asked around, and they said he ran a personalized beatdown. I beat him in the first duel with Jinzo. He said he didn't have any traps anyway. In the second duel, I did a quick 4000 because of Hayabusa and AoD. The match went downhill from there and I won.
I advance to round 3

round 3
Me vs. Carnegie
Hmm... Me vs. my old friend Carnegie, eh? I knew it was a matter of time before we would face each other in a official duel. He always used to beat me and my other friends when the cards came out. He runs a what I call "Evil Beatdown". I had him very easily in the first duel, and won. Second duel, and I just wasn't getting the cards I need. Third duel, I was doing good, until he got out Barrel Dragon. It was whupping my ass. Only once did his flip not work. He went on to win the match, but my friend Stan whupped him in the next round on account of revenge for me.

Oh, well. I guess there's always next week. I'm at least glad that Jinzo comes out for me. All I need is a couple of more cards for my supreme pharoah's servant deck. I hope to have it completed in 2 weeks.
