Greetings to all Pojo readers out there. This is my first tournament report so bear with me. Its also the first one worth while so go figure. Without further ado here is my deck:

Kycoo The Ghost Destroyer x2
Injection Fairy Lily
Yata-Garasu
Cyber Jar
Fiber Jar
Jinzo
Gemini Elf x2
Witch of The Black Forest
Bazoo the Soul Eater x2
Exiled Force
Magic: 19
Dark Hole
Raigeki
Pot of Greed

Premature Burial
Delinquent Duo
Creature Swap
Traps: 5
Imperial Order
Mirror Force
Call of The Haunted
Magic Cylinders
Ring of Destruction
Total: 42
I know you’re thinking that 3 spear dragons is bad but scapegoat and nimble momonga are very common in my meta-game, so these even out the scales on those.
About the tournament:
Entrance Fee: $5
First place: 6 packs
Second Place: 2 packs
1 pack for anyone who plays.
There are usually 2 tournaments each Saturday here, a 1:30 and a 3:30. I lost in the second round of the 1:30 but pulled my second yata from the pack I chose (sweet!). Everyone there wanted my ring of destruction, I was the only one to have one as of then, but give it a week and the other top players will have one too. This tournament was a bit smaller than usual only 16 people, its usually around 30 people.
On to the Show:
Round 1: Dave vs. Some younger kid with a huge deck
Duel 1:
This wasn’t much of a challenge. He ran around 70 cards in his deck and didn’t pull anything to challenge my deck.
Duel 2:
See dual 1.
Round 2: Dave vs. Alan
Alan and I are decent friends and play for fun on a regular basis. He runs a similar deck to mine.
Duel 1:
It was pretty much trade for trade on this one. His fatal mistake was pulling a Bazoo with his witch since I had Kycoo out on the field. A simple mistake a lot of people forgets is that Kycoo negates an opposing Bazoo. Some spear dragons then made short work of his life points.
Duel 2:
Similar to dual one though this time injection fairly lily made the difference this time killing his jinzo and clearing the path for other monsters like my goblins.
Round 3: Dave vs. Max
Max usually runs beatdown but this time he was running an exodia deck for a change.
Dual 1:
He got a lousy draw and Spear dragons made short work of his scapegoats and life points. Not to mention I destroyed every stall card he pulled.
Dual 2:
My offense was good but his luck was better, after a witch, sangan and painful choice & back-up soldier combo he pulled exodia.
Dual 3:
This one came down to the wire. I knew he had 4 pieces in his hand with a witch on the field. I tried to fiber jar but he killed it with Raigeki. He mask of the accursed my Gemini and had a witch and 4 goats out with about 1200 life left. I activate call of the Haunted and get a spear back to run over a goat for the win.
Round 4 (Finals): Dave vs. Rob
Rob and I agreed to split the prize before we played and just basically played for bragging rights.
Dual 1:
This was quick. After a cyber jar I had a bazoo, Spear and Gemini and he had nothing. I attacked for 6700 and then during his draw phase I activated ring of destruction for the win.
Dual 2:
This was close but spear dragon with united we stand did the job.
I picked 2 Pharonic Guardian packs, 1 Legacy and 1 Labyrinth packs. Got a creature swap! Cool, a secret and ultra rare in the same day.
Now for the props:
Winning my first tournament
Pulling Yata and Creature swap
Ring of Destruction
Slops:
