This was my first time using my new clown control deck.  I just came from a 
3x Barrel Dragon beatdown, and started getting bored with power (and losing 
tournaments).

My Deck:
18 Monsters
3x Dream Clown
2x Crass Clown
2x Magician of Faith
2x Sangan
2x Hayabusa Knight
2x White Magical Hat
1x Cyber Jar
1x Milus Radiant
1x Maryokutai (LON)
1x Muka Muka
1x Goddess of Whim
14 Magic
2x Prohibition
2x Last Will
1x Raigeki
1x Dark Hole
1x Pot of Greed
1x Eternal Rest
1x Messenger of Peace
1x Change of Heart
1x Confiscation
1x Bait Doll (LON)
1x Monster Reborn
1x Shallow Grave
8 Traps
3x Gravity Bind
1x Acid Trap Hole
1x Call of The Haunted
1x Magic Drain
1x Time Seal
1x Collected Power (LON)

Match 1  Me vs. Ben Morgan (Direct Damage)
He got his 2 Graverobber's Retributions out very early but wasn't lucky 
enough to get out a Soul Release.  I cleared his defense cards out, and 
attacked directly with Dream Clown and Hayabusa Knight.  Me 5700, Ben 0

Match 2 Me vs. Paul O'Leary (Pegasus Rip Off)
He had the early advantage by putting Toon BEWD on the field before I could 
get a gravity bind.  He pummeled me with 2 Relinquished after gravity bind 
stopped his BEWD.  My Cyber Jar and Raigeki combo sent him packing with a 
White Magical Hat, 3 Dream Clowns, and a Hayabusa Knight.  Me 3200, him 0

Match 3 (Quarter Finals) Me vs. Joseph Crukshank (Weenie Beatdown) He put out 
a Gravity Bind his second turn (thanks for savin me the trouble!), 
but he just couldn't pull the right cards to keep his Jinzo #7 on the field.  
Me 6500, him 0

Match 4 (Semi Finals) Me vs. Kaleb Morgan (Red-Eyed Black Metal) Ben's little 
brother trying to avenge him.  To bad, he couldn't keep anything 
on the field.  Lets just say I embarrassed him.  The only damage I took was 
one standby phase worth of Messenger of Peace.  Me 7900, him 0

Match 5 (Finals) Me vs. Store Owner, Nick Patel (Destiny Board & Exodia) When 
will people learn to stop showin me their decks before we duel when they 
know I stock up on Prohibition?  First turn I prohibit Destiny board.  He 
heavy storms me, then sets the Destiny Board.  I prohibit letter L on my 3rd 
turn.  We exchanged blows with Sangan, then I put the final move on him with 
a Hayabusa Knight powered up by Milus Radiant.  First of all I had to Bait 
Doll his Mirror Force, then it was curtains.  Me 4300, him 0.

Just to much fun bringin home the bacon with my brand new set of LON cards, 
not to mention a new Magic Cylinder, Gemini Elf, and Dark Necrofer.  But I 
traded them all off.  And to think, everyone thought my deck was a joke…

Suggestions?
