There were more people at this tournament than usual, which suited me just fine... I love comeptition. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1st Round Me vs James This kid is one of those brats that make you wish assault and battery was legal. Well, at least I got to cream him in a duel. All he did was set a monster, so after I got my hand the way I wanted it with Pot of Greed and two Graceful Charities, I went on the attack. I used Change of Heart on his monster (Sangan), summoned Marauding Capatain with Goblin Attack Force, reborned Jinzo and took out 6900 of his LP. He set another monster and switched his Sangan to DEF, but all I had to do was summon Spear Dragon to finish him off. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2nd Round Me vs Manuel I guess my pal Manuel decided he doesn't like it when people use his own monsters against him, so he concedes the match whenever someone does. I warned him that I wouldn't hold back in tournaments, and when I started off by using Change of Heart on his Harpie Lady, he conceded then and there. I tried talkin' him out of it, but what can I say, he's stubborn! Well, whatever... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Semi-Final Round Me vs Sal I hadn't seen Sal duel in a while, but I already knew he had a Light Deck. He started by setting a monster, but I used Dark Hole to rid myself of that problem and attacked directly with Marauding Captain and Spear Dragon. He special summoned Soul of Purity and Light, but I kept my Spear Dragon from harm with Magic Cylinder. Once I equipped Snatch Steal to his Soul of Purity and Light, I ignored his set Trap Card and attacked for the win. Good thing it was just a Ceasefire... ;) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Final Round Me vs Jorge Well, I think that's his name. I've been told that he's been around, but he only recently got good cards to contend with. I started things off by destroying his Change of Heart and Bazoo the Soul Eater with Delinquent Duo, summoned Gearfried the Iron Knight and ended turn. He used Graceful Charity, destroyed my Iron Knight with Dark Hole, summoned Yata-Garasu and ran straight into my Mirror Force. I summoned Witch of the Black Forest and attacked directly, but then he reborned his Bazoo the Soul Eater and tributed it for Dark Ruler Ha Des, which blew my searching plan right out of the water. Fortunately, I drew Yata-Garasu, which I instantly summoned. He was confused as to why I'd do that, but he got the point when I activated Creature Swap. I didn't want to attack my precious Yata, but I had no choice... =( Well, he never got out anything good after that, so I just kept hitting him with Dark Ruler Ha Des until I drew Injection Fairy Lily and ended the duel. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I owe it all to my lucky Cloud shirt... =D I don't know what was goin' on that day, but I couldn't pull ANYTHING from a Legacy of Darkness booster. I'd bought six packs, since LoD was on sale, and pulled all rares. Well, the same thing happened with my two prize packs of LoD... I got nothin'! Oh, well, at least I finally got everything I wanted for my Deck! Pros for the Day -winning the tournament Cons for the Day -having to attack my own Yata -pulling absolutely nothing good from my packs As always, if anyone has any questions or suggestions, feel free to E-Mail me at mfillman125@msn.com anytime!
