Now you see my killer deck. let's go on to the tournament report! 2 out of 3

Terminator lockdown vs nice kid ( Sorry I forgot your name) Beatdown deck

Round 1
   We tossed the coin and I called it right so I go first: I drew 1 Nimble momonga,  Delinquent duo, Graceful charity,  Fairy lily injection,  Needle worm. You know what I'm going to do. I used delinquent duo : discard his monster 1800 and he discarded mst. After that I use graceful charity and drew sinister serpent, nimble momonga and mst so I discarded sinister and nimble. I placed nimble on facedown defense mode and then he summoned a monster 1800 and attacked my facedown monster so I gained a1000 life points and bring back my another 2 nimble from my deck.  All I remember I destroy his life points with my beloved Jinzo and Cannon soldier with limiter removal.
Round 2
   He couldn't draw any good cards to defend his field and life points so I just killed him with my spear dragon and nimble momonga. I won the game.

Terminator lockdown vs nice kid older brother ( Sorry dude I forgot your name ) Maha vailo/ Dark ruler ha des deck
Round 1
    I pretty much invisible in this game  coz he destroy my sangan and WOBF and got lily and jinzo out in my deck and goes into my hand. After his turn, I summoned jinzo and discarded lily into the graveyard because I overexceeded to card limits (6) smart move yah :). Monster reborn lily and raigeki all his monster in the field. Attack my beloved Jinzo and lily.

Round 2
    He summoned Dark ruler ha des and power it up with axe of despair in his second turn. I couldn't get back to the game so I lose in 5th turns.

Round 3
    This time I badly needed to use my side deck I pulled 1 mechanical chaser out in my deck and replaced 1 gemini elf .  I decided to go first luckily my first 6 draw cards were POG, Graceful charity, Lily, Needle worm and Dark hole. I use POG and draw Jinzo and Monster reborn. I place needle worm in defense mode facedown. I keep my graceful charity in my hand just incase if he lock me down. He summoned Maha vailo and equip with axe of despair and attack my facedown monster. "Needle worm" ! Sadly he needs to discard 5 cards from his deck: Heavy storm, Dark hole, Monster reborn, and  2 equip cards. After I draw premature burial and then I used graceful charity and discard Jinzo and lily. I activated dark hole and monster reborn jinzo and premature lily and attack his life points he couldn't get back to the game so I win for 3 turns.

Terminator lockdown vs Gal ( 6th place tournament rank ) Beatdown deck

Jeezzz!  I asked the store personnel and my opponent  if I can go to the restroom and they allowed me to go. Before I start the game, I take a deep breath x 10 and little bit of  body stretching. Try this it's works. Refreshes your mind. Get back the the game room.

Round 1
    I'm pretty much dominated in this round. I've destroyed her with my jinzo, limiter removal and bazoo for 7th turns.
Round 2
    She won this time coz she used snatch steal my Bazoo and gave me an open field so that how I defeated.
Round 3
    I remember that I used needle worm and she discarded 5 staples. That's gonna hurt! Attacked her life points 750 and placed another monster facedown (cyber jar) and limiter removal facedown. She attack needle worm with her spear dragon and end her turn. I flip cyber and destroyed all the monster in the field and I got 2 mechanical chaser and 2 cannon soldier and jinzo. She got one monster and 4 magics. She don't have ay magics or traps in the field. I've summon jinzo by offering one of my cannon soldier and attack my beloved machine soldiers " Rise of the machines" and pump up with limiter removal.

After the tournament, Mark and I traded cards with his two Giant Red Seasnake and my TP3 rares White hole, Kwagar Hercules, Axe raider, Patrol robo and TP2 Dragon seeker. Finally, I can build water type deck. Hoping it will survive even Yata Garasu and Fairy Lily Injection are out there.

I realize it's not how expensive your deck are !It's all in your strategies how you play the game of YU-GI-OH! eventhough you have the cheapest cards in your deck. Just be careful on your move and take time. Don't be in hurry. Focus and believe in your deck coz you build it. Have fun and keep smiling!
