Got there around 1:30 with my friend Tim and had few practice duels; everything was working well. There were quite a few people, most of the usuals, and some new faces; I was excited to begin. ROUND 1: Nathan (Lockdown Deck) vs. ???? (COMPLETE NEWB) I was pretty nervous because I'd never seen this person, but after starting the duel, it was pretty obvious that a severe disaster would be the only thing keeping me from winning. DUEL 1: First pull, not too good. I had 2 clowns, but no protection for them. I did, however, have one of my favorite cards in my deck: Delinquent Duo. I laid it down, took my 1000 LP, and picked my card. It was freaking Kojikocy, a 1500 atk SDK card. I was pretty confident after that. I just played my White Magical Hat with some Fairy Box protection and let the hand disruption roll. It was a slow duel, but it wasn't tough. WINNER: Nathan DUEL 2: I was working the Bind in this game. I had Gravity Bind and 2 Dream Clowns, so I just played some basic Clown Control, and then threw in White Magical Hat for a little disruption, and the duel went quickly. WINNER: Nathan I had a bye for Round 2 for some reason, so I wandered aimlessly and checked out some of the other duels. As Round 3 neared, I found out my opponent was going to be Phillip, a very intimidating duelist. ROUND 2: Nathan (Lockdown Deck) vs. Phillip (Burn Deck) DUEL 1: I was pretty nervous, but my first pull calmed me. I had a Gravity Bind and a Messenger of Peace, plus a Dream Clown. I was ready to duel. Phillip tries to summon Cannon Soldier, but I Trap Hole it. I've got Dream Clown in attack so I go for it, and he chains Scapegoat. Next turn, he plays Tremendous Fire, summons Giant Germ, equips Black Pendant, and attacks. I'm feeling the pressure. My turn, I play Harpie's Feather Duster and lay down Fairy Box, my only defense. I call it wrong twice in a row, and draw Mystical Space Typhoon, I was done. WINNER: Phillip DUEL 2: The heat was on. He used Tremendous Fire, Cannon Soldier + Scapegoat, Just Desserts, etc. He left my head spinning after he beat me. WINNER: Phillip Well, that's it, the tournament was over, I got my pack and pulled a Susa Soldier!!! Wait, I'm not excited, that card sucks! Ah, whatever, I don't care anymore. PROPS: To Phillip, he's awesome To Tim, he did well To Autographs and Collectibles, I'm glad they have tournaments To Pojo.com, for making the most awesome worldwide Yu-gi-oh network SLOPS: To Susa Soldier, for jumping into my pack and disappointing me
