So Batman was going to fight crime alone this week. The first match was: Batman vs Tobie -Round 1 Tobie is the dude at my school that I could never beat. Fortunately for me, he didn't bring his usual beatdown deck, and instead brought a psychotic 60-card burner. I had heavy storm early and sweeped up his messenger of peace. He was able to get out all 3 germs and nimble momongas during that game, but I eventually knocked them down and got through to his lifepoints. Batman vs Tobie -Round 2 This round, heavy storm was no where to be found. He eventually got out his toll, messenger of peace, and chain energy. Total lockdown, and he then finished me off with cannon soldier. Batman vs Tobie -Round 3 The first draw was just too sweet! 2 Heavy storms and an Imperial Order. His permanent magics weren't getting to me this round. Once again, the nimbles and germs came out, but eventually I wipe em all out and get through to his lifepoints. -SEMI FINALS- Batman vs Bandit Kief -Round 1 Jonathan came in the store just in time to witness his idol (Bandit Kief) take on his hero (Batman). Bandit Kief says he's #2 on the west coast, so Batman was intimidated. Fortunately though, he didn't bring his famous Redline deck, instead it was some kinda weenie deck. First round was a breeze, I demolish his weenie monsters. His fairy box kept testing me, but the heart of the coins was not with Bandit Kief this round. Only 1 attack was negated I think, and the rest went straight to his lifepoints. Batman vs Bandit Kief -Round 2 Once again annoying fairy box showed up, this time it screwed me over. Summon skull attacks, Summon skull's attack pts gets reduced to 0. Ouch Batman's lifepoints ouch. Goblin up to bat, Goblin swings, attack pts reduced to 0. Ouch Batman's lifepoints. Batman is down and out. Batman vs Bandit Kief -Round 3 It was an intense battle that went back and forth. Bandit Kief managed to get his lifepoints up in the 10,000s. One point I had a 5 man army featuring Jinzo and Goblin attack force. All he had was weenie monsters in attack mode. Lucky for him, he chained Waboku when Jinzo was summoned. Next turn, Dark hole and 9 monsters goes down the hole. Then a drought begins, both player drawing nothing but magics. I think i drew magics for 7 turns! I had protection because of trap holes and mirror force so even when he did draw a monster, he couldn't touch me. Eventually I draw a monster, he fairy boxes and stalls some more. At one point, I past one fairy box's test and then he activates another one, testing me again. This time I didn't pass the test and he was able to stall another turn. Another point, I had out Goblin Attack Force, he was at 2200. I had a clear shot. If the fairy box didn't work, I was going to win. It all depended on the flip of a coin. He calls it wrong, YES...Nooo...he activates waboku. In the end, both players were down to 400 LP, I brought back Jinzo and fairy box was no longer a threat. Magician of faith brings back Raigeki, thundershocks, Jinzo executes his psychoshock and the intense battle was over. Good game. -FINALS- Batman vs Matthew (I think that was his name) -Round 1 After an intense battle with #2 on the west coast, Batman was disappointed to get his butt kicked so fast. He busted out gemini elf, which Batman can't afford yet, and murdered Batman fast and furiously. Batman vs Matthew (I think that was his name) -Round 2 Once again, Batman gets owned. He brings out Jinzo, Batman sets down a Magician of faith. Next turn, RAIGEKI, magician of faith is no more. Jinzo attacks, bringing Batman down to a "one more hit and i'm dead" stage. Batman sets down his only other monster, another Magician of faith, hoping to bring back dark hole. Next turn, La jinn comes out. Jinzo attacks, Magician of faith brings back dark hole. But it doesn't matter. La jinn attacks, its over. Well Batman's reign as champion has ended. After winning for 3 weeks straight, and winning another tourney at school, I guess it was about time Batman faced defeat. I win 3 PSV boosters for getting second place. Stupid backup soldier again! Forced requisition and monster recovery were the other rares. Props to: Yu Gi Oh Virtual Desktop Ladder, where I trained and improved my deck and dueling skills Tobie, I can never win against your beatdown. The Pokemon theme song, for making me "wanna be, the very best, like no one ever was" David for getting me that smooth refreshing Vanilla Coke. Oh yea! Slops to: Card thieves Michael for quitting Yugioh Tobie, for not letting me win just ONCE!
