I arrived at Ground Zero feeling confident going in. I am continuing to play at Ground Zero, until Gametek gets thier act together and gets judges that know the rules. I saw Phillip and Cesar there. Phillip plays at Ground Zero anyways and me and Cesar are in the advanced bracket too. If you want to email me, use p8ntballsniper15@yahoo.com from now on. I will delete anything sent to my other email address.

Round 1
Opponent: Jake (Beatdown)
Duel 1, I hit him hard and fast with La Jinn and Dark Elf, but I only got a few hits in though because of those damned Fairy Boxes. I got rid of them once Jinzo came out though. I cleared the field with Raigeki and attacked with my monsters for the win.
Duel 2, That damn Fairy Box again! I couldn't get any hits in, I guess the heart of the coins was with him. I drew and played Heavy Storm to get rid of it and laid a La Jinn and attacked with it. Next turn, he tried to Raigeki, but Magic Jammer took care of that. I tributed La Jinn for Jinzo and attacked, VICTORY IS MINE!

Round 2
Opponent: Chris (Clown Control)
Duel 1, Before the duel I side-decked in 3 Infinite Dismissals to combat his 3-star attackers. I got out Jinzo wicked early and over ran his weenies with my 4-star beaters.
Duel 2, Aaaaarrrrgggghhh! FAIRY BOX! I'm getting really annoyed by that card. It's pretty much a permanent Waboku, and he had 2 on the field, along with 2 Solemn Wishes. I tried to get out Jinzo, but I didn't have any monsters on the field to sacrifce for him. Alas, my break came after I used Raigeki to clear his field and Heavy Storm to clear both M/T zones. I laid La Jinn and tributed Dark Elf for Jinzo and attacked with both for the win.

Round 3
Opponent: Brian (Velocity-Beatdown)
Duel 1, He hit me hard and fast with his weenie monsters and kept my field clear with Raigeki and Dark Hole. The only damage he took the whole duel was to his Premature Burial.
Duel 2, I made up for this duel, like whoa! I had the best draws I could ask for. I had a Jinzo, La Jinn and my Goblins on the field. I flipped Magician of Faith to get back Raigeki and used it to clear the field and attacked with my monsters.
Duel 3, I had a pretty good match going, until he used Soul Release on my Jinzo, Royal Command, Raigeki, Swords and Goblin Attack Force! I tried to do my best with what cards I had left, but his army of weenies were too strong.

Round 4, for 3rd place
Opponent: Paul (Burn)
Duel 1, I totally decimated him with my monsters. He couldn't get any monsters out for like 5 turns. Jinzo and Harpie's Brother took care of his life points.
Duel 2, I got hit early and hard with his Burn cards, and I couldn't get out enough monsters to get his life points to zero before mine.
Duel 3, A crowd was starting to gather around us, sice the first place duel was over. Cesar crushed Phillip in that duel. I wanted to show off a little to I started to draw my "good" cards. I got out Jinzo not much after that and his forces were at bay. Check this strategy. I had a La Jinn on the field, he had 1600 life points left and a Raigeki in my hand. I played Raigeki and attacked with La Jinn for the win.

I was sort of happy with the results. I bought 2 LON booster packs for $3.99 each, with my prize money. I pulled a Spirit of the Breeze and Destruction Punch...yay.

What's hot?
The Yu-Gi-Oh! gamers out there, keep on gaming!

What's not?
Thieves that steal cards from little kids!

Later days...
