I also recently acquired a millenium item: my "14 karat custom made Millenium gold chain" with 'Batman' engraved on it. With Gemini elves and some BLING BLING, Batman was ready to win this thing. The first match was: Batman vs Eddie -Round 1 What can I say...it's a newbie deck. It featured relinquished but had mostly crap cards like Dian Keto and Despell. No suprise that my deck wins. Batman vs Eddie -Round 2 He got his relinquished out this time, but so what? I had snatch steal, raigeki and fissure in my hand. The only challenging moment about this duel was deciding the fate of relinquished: yoinking it, thundershocking it, or pulling it down da hole. Well since it had absorbed my gemini elf, I decided to payback and snatch it. I think I had 3-4 monsters on the attack and it was game over. -SEMI FINALS- Batman vs Jackie -Round 1 Jackie, my partner had gained enough confidence to be in the same tournament as I was in. The last two weeks he joined other tournaments because he didn't want to face me. First duel I whoop on him first, then he comes back and takes me down to same lifepoints he had. 1100 to 1100. It looks like he was gonna win because he had many cards in his hand, many traps down, and a monster. I draw a magic cylinder. HEART OF THE CARDS BABY! His stupid baboon Bazoo attacks, !MAGIC CYLINDER! The stupid baboon kills it's master. Damn that was too close. Batman vs Jackie -Round 2 Jackie is coming closer and closer to reaching the same power level I am each week. It was a balanced game, but he took it in the end. Batman vs Jackie -Round 3 I felt invincible, with my geminis, cylinder, and Millenium gold chain. After getting beaten, the realization that I could lose and walk away with just winning one booster gave me a slap in the face. Batman was focused again, and performed his famous Advanced Shuffling technique (no it's not a way to cheat and rig my deck, it just shuffles cards up real good) This match, I totally dominiated, due to getting out Jinzo early while Jackie drew a lot of evil traps like Mirror Force and Imperial Order. -FINALS- Batman vs Jimmy's Cousin (I forgot your name dude) -Round 1 I hit him big early, and then he comes back and brings me down all the way to 400 or something. Then I kill his Witch of black forest and he brings out cannon soldier and flings it at me. Suprisingly Cannon soldier is used in alot of beatdowns at this store. Batman vs Jimmy's Cousin (I forgot your name dude) -Round 2 Uh oh, I've come so close, I've got the elves, I CANT LOSE! I MUST break the losing streak! Advanced Shuffling occurs once again, and once again it doesnt fail me. He takes me down to like 100, He has like 2200 or something left with a wall of illusion on the field. I have Bazoo and just put down a gemini. Gemini takes out wall of illusion. Jimmy's Cousin told me that I just made a careless mistake and forgot feed Bazoo 3 cards to re-power it up. Bazoo attacks for 1600 bringing him down to 400. Damn if he drew a 1800 and damaged my Bazoo it'd be over. I'd be kicking my self for the whole week for making such a dumb mistake. But he didnt get a monster! I win. Yea! Batman vs Jimmy's Cousin (I forgot your name dude) -Round 3 I got a really good draw this game and was controlling the field early. He depended on cyber jar to turn the game around. Cyber jar didn't serve him so well, shelling out 3 monsters for him and 5 monsters to me. Since I had two goblins, I outpowered his forces. Also had imperial order down. Next turn he tries to use some monster removal, but I flip imp order. With Imperial Order and 5 monsters down, he was outnumbered and couldn't do much about it. FInally, my losing streak is over! Well it feels good to be on top of the game again. Oddly, everytime Jackie joins the same tournament I join, I always win, and the two times he joined another tournament, I end up 2nd place. He makes a hell of a good luck charm he he he. Too bad I had to take him out tho. I win 5 PSV boosters and get crappy rares Forced Requisition, Shallow Grave, Monster Recovery, and Red moon baby. I pulled gearfried too. The dude that got second place pulled a Goblin Attack Force. Damn 2nd place gets good cards. Last week when I was second place I pulled out Imperial Order while 1st place dude pulled out Parasite. Props to: Yu Gi Oh Virtual Desktop Ladder, where I trained and improved my deck and dueling skills Jackie for giving me goodluck, and giving me a Giant Germ. The Pokemon theme song, for making me "wanna be, the very best, like no one ever was" Slops to: All the Card thieves All the people I know that are quitting/have quit Yu Gi OH.
