       Since I forgot my side-deck, I knew I wouldn't get first, but over all I did do pretty good. I got there 10 minutes before it began, so I had time to prepare. A few days before, I traded Jinzo for a Barrel Dragon and a Magic Jammer and now I am missing my Jinzo. Oh well, I'll get another one................. eventually. First tournament here so I was a little nervous. Now on to the tournament.

Round 1 : Match 1
Apocalypse (me) vs. Monster Depletion (Andrew)

       In the first match Andrew cut my deck and gave me my favorite hand of : Monster Reborn, Barrel Dragon, Graceful Charity, La Jinn, and a 7 Colored Fish. He went first and set a magic/trap and summoned Harpie's Brother. My turn I played Graceful Charity and got Tribute to the Doomed, Man-Eater Bug, and a La Jinn. I discarded La Jinn and Barrel Dragon. Then I used Monster Reborn on Barrel Dragon and summoned 7 Colored Fish which he Trap Holed. I then used Tribute to the Doomed and got rid of La Jinn which killed his Cyber Jar. I attacked him for 2600. His turn he set one monster and passes. My turn I draw a Pot of Greed and use it to draw Harpie's Brother and a Magician of Faith. I summoned Harpie's Brother and used Barrel Dragon's effect and called right which killed his Man-Eater Bug. I attacked again for 4400. His turn he drew no monsters and no attack stopers and says he can't win. On my turn I would have drawn Summoned Skull.
(Apocalypse) 8000
(Monster Depletion) 8000--5400--1000--0

Round 1 : Match 2

       In this match I didn't draw such a good hand. He went first and set one monster and 3 magic/traps and passed. I drew a La Jinn to include to my Summoned Skull, Tribute to the Doomed, Pot of Greed, Harpie's Brother, and a Cyber Jar. As anyone would do I set Cyber Jar and used Pot of Greed to draw a Trap Hole and a Raigeki. I used the Tribute to the Doomed and sacraficed my Summoned Skull in my hand which killed his Man-Eater Bug(whew), his turn. He sets one more magic/trap and summons La Jinn and attacked. I got Man-Eater Bug, another Summoned Skull, 7 Colored Fish, a Heavy Storm, and a Magician of Faith. He got a Man-Eater Bug, Trap Hole, Dark Hole, Pot of Greed, and a Summoned Skull. He couldn't do anything so he passed. I used Heavy Storm and flipped Man-Eater Bug to kill his Man-Eater Bug. I then sacraficed for Summoned Skull, flipped Magician of Faith to get back Pot of Greed, and finally used Raigeki. I attacked for 3150. His turn, he uses Fissure which kills Magician of Faith and sets one magic/trap. My turn I draw Monster Reborn then use it to get back Summoned Skull and attacked for 5450.
(Apocalypse) 8000
(Monster Depletion) 8000--4850--0

Round 2 : Match 1
Apocalypse (me) vs. Life Point Resusitation (sorry I forgot his name)

       In this round I got Harpie's Brother, Magic Jammer, Seven Tools of the Bandit, Cyber Jar, and Summoned Skull. I went first and set Cyber Jar and Magic Jammer and Seven Tools. His turn, he summons Gearfried the Iron Knight and attacks. He got Mirror Force, Enchanted Javalin, Man-Eater Bug, Magic Drain, and Trap Hole. He sets all of them. I got 2 La Jinn, Trap Hole, Raigeki, and a Mirror Force. My turn I draw Graceful Charity and used it. He Magic Drained but I discarded Raigeki so I draw Magician of Faith (Good timing), Man-Eater Bug, and a Heavy Storm. Naturatlly, I use Heavy Storm and summon the Summoned Skull. I set Trap Hole and Mirror Force. I attack for 4300. His turn he plays Heavy Storm and sets one magic/trap. My turn I summon Harpie's Brother and attack. He uses Enchanted Javalin on Summoned Skull so he only takes 3600. He used Raigeki and summoned Gearfried and attacked me for 1800. I draw Goblin Attack Force and show him and he makes a face of disbelief.
(Apocalypse) 8000--6200
(LP Resusitation) 8000--3700--100--0

Round 2 : Match 2

       This turn I got nothing except Tribute to the Doomed, Monster Reborn, Summoned Skull, Trap Hole, and Magician of Faith. He goes first and summons Dark Elf. My turn I set Magician of Faith and use TTTD and then Monster Reborn the Summon Skull I discarded for TTTD, I passed and then forgot to attack and set Trap Hole.(Thats gonna cost me). His turn he plays another Dark Elf then passes. I flip Magician of Faith and get back Monster Reborn. I attack his Dark Elf with Summoned Skull and I don't attack with Magician of Faith, he takes 500. His turn he plays Raigeki and summons Jirai Gumo. He flips and calls it wrong but takes 2200 away from me. My turn I use my Dark Hole and then summon Harpie's Brother and Monster Reborn Summon Skull and it was all over.
(Apocalypse) 8000--5800
(LP Resusitation) 8000--7500--3750--0

Round 3 : Match 1 (Semi-Finals)
Apocalypse (me) vs. Jinzo Beatdown (J.T.)
This guy beat my friend, Bryan, in the second round so I came in with revenge on my mind.

       As usual, he goes first and sets one magic/trap and sets one monster. I start with a hand of Raigeki, Mystical Space Typhoon, La Jinn, Man-Eater Bug, Cyber Jar, and I draw a Sword of Revealing Light. I use Mystical Space Typhoon on his Magic Drain then use Raigeki on his Man-Eater Bug and set Cyber Jar. His turn he summons La Jinn but doesn't attack. My turn I use Swords of Revealing Light and flip Cyber Jar. I got La Jinn, Harpie's Brother, Barrel Dragon, Trap Hole, and a Mirror Force. He only gets one monster which is Witch of the Black Forest and other Trap Cards. I set Mirror Force and Trap Hole and summon Barrel Dragon. I use Barrel Dragon's effect and call it right. He searches and I guess Jinzo and he says "yeah". I attack him for 2600. His turn he lays down one monster and passes. I draw La Jinn and I use Barrel Dragon's effect and call it right which kills his Man-Eater Bug. I summon La Jinn and attack him for 4400. His turn he didn't draw any monsters and on my turn I win.
