Now, on to the tournament! This tournament was a "swiss" tournament, in which nobody got eliminated. On to Round 1.Round 1
Duel 1:
I don’t remember much a duel. I know that I got a few monsters out, but he Mystical Space Typhooned my defensive trap cards and beat me fairly quickly.
Duel 2:
This one was pretty much the first one, except he used Nobleman of Crossout on me.Round 2
Duel 1:
This time I put up a bigger fight. He and I were pretty even, but then he dark holed me and it went downhill from there.
Duel 2:
I destroyed his Goblin Attack Force and Reborned it, but he still ended up beating me by a wide margin.Round 3
Duel 1:
I was able to get out Summoned Skull and Twin-Headed Fire Dragon fairly quickly, and was able to defeat him within a few turns afterwards.
Duel 2:
This was pretty much like the first, except I got out a Hayabusa Knight and was able to defeat him from there.
