Beautiful, isnt it? Now, back to the real world...the tourney started and I was in for a fun-filled day.

Round 1  David vs Carlos (some sort of funky beatdown)
Game 1
   When this kid found out about the parings, he didnt care who won or lost. Either way, he comes out victorious. If he wins, he advances, if he looses, he buys a pack and gets some freakin awesome card. No, I dont mean ultra, I mean secrets and higher. For example, 2 weeks ago, we verse, i beat him and he gets a needleworm in his TP3 pack. Last week, i beat him and he pulls yata in the packs they pass out. Whatever...so we start the game. I can never remember exactly what happens but I do know that I crush him first game. Me-8000 Him-0.

Game 2
This guy is really good, but he just gets unlucky against me, but lucky when picking packs. I beat him again. Sry if im not detailed but I get real nervous during my duels and the turns go by so fast. Me-8000 (again) Him-0. He walks away, buys a booster, and gets: Injection Fiary Lily. I'm like, you bastard. Oh well, maybe ill get one someday.

Round 2 David vs Vinnie (hes my homie, he has great cards, but he just doesnt have the luck...well almost...he plays beatdown)
Game 1
Now, this duel I remember exactly. I go first and play delinwuent Duo, -1000. I get his raigeki, he discards sinister serpent. I summon gemini in atk mode and its his turn. He gracefuls, discards GAF and sinister. He change of hearts my gemini, summon witch, prematures goblin, equips united we stand on GAF and atks for 1st turn KO. Wow. He tottaly shit his pants, and I was pretty pissed.

Game 2
This was a lot different from last game. Its differnt in the sense that I cant remember what happened. But I ended up winning with a yata lock.

Game 3
I also won this game using pure beatdown.

Round 3 David vs Andre (one of the best kids in store, he plays beatdown)
Game 1
This game was facepaced, and close. I won but it came down to like me: 1600 him:0

Game 2
I crushed him. But the third game was spectacular.

Game 3
This game went back and forth. I have 1700 life left, him 1800. I have jinzo on field and a face down. Now, hres where i screw up: I flip magician of faith, get back harpies feather duster to rid him of magic cylinder. This sux do to the fact that ihave jinzo, i shouldve gottne monster reborn and used it to atk for game. But, I choke under pressure. And yet so does my opponent. I atk his face up sangan with jinzo and atk directly with magician. he has 200 life left. Now, here is where he screws up. He gets a spear dragon instead of getting a GAF to atk my magician. He summon spear, atks my mag and i loose 1600. Now i have 100 life left. But he screwed up and so did i so were even. I draw a monsters, summon it, it atks his spear, jinzo atks directly for game. Phew again.

Round 4 David vs Miguel (a smartass who plays beatdown)
Game 1
He beats me. Plain and simple.

Game 2
I crush him. Also plain and simple. Except I had somewhere i had to go...therefore i had to concede the third duel. I was really pissed, but hey. I got 2 boosters as prize. Hurray! I pull another fiber jar! Oh well...until next week!

PROPS
