I'm Terror and this is my first tournament report. I run a standard beatdown with summon skulls and basic monsters. I named it Barrel Dragon Beatdown because it's my favorite card in it.

Imperial Order (Rai what?) Total: 45 Pre-Tournament Notes Labyrinth of Nightmare was open for sale today and it was harvest time. People were buying packs left and right. I only bought two and my cards were only rares. The "Spirit Message I" and "Return Of The Doomed" were the two. My friend got a Kycoo and I got pissed at him for it. I bought my Pepsi and headed up to the tourney room. Now for the tournament: Round 1: Terror Vs. Carlos (Labyrinth of Nightmare Beatdown) I was nervous as hell going into this match. He bought TWO boxes of Labyrinth and had almost every card he could possibly need, like Gemini Elves, Kycoo the Ghost Destroyers, United We Stand, and even Mage Power. The duel started and I held my breath. First Duel: Me 0 LP Carlos 1400 LP I had a decent hand, but I got trampled early and so did he, but his Gemini Elves overcame me. Second Duel: Me 1100 LP Carlos 0 LP Similar to the last round except I kept killing his monsters and getting them back. I beat him down faster than he could to me. Third Duel: Me 100 LP Carlos 0 LP This was too close to call unless you saw it. He hit me in the beginning for 7900. I fought back with Raigeki and reborn to get my skull out. He had put all his heart into those few moves that he had almost nothing left except for a single face down card. I didn't attack for the final damage until I could destroy it with MST. It was mirror force! I win! YES! Round 2: Terror Vs. Casey (Bad Beatdown) This kid did not look ready at all. My morale was high from my last battle, so I was pepped up. I know your rule about being descriptive Pojo, but there really isn't that much to say. I owned him. First Duel: Me 6100 LP Casey 0 LP He tried to put defenses but SS and BD wrecked him fast. Second Duel: Me 8000 Casey 0LP See above duel. Round 3: Bye! Oh Yeah! I had nothing to do for a full our so I got another drink and watched my competition. Round 4: Terror Vs. Jamie (Assorted Deck) Jamie and me are friends and we like dueling each other because we are about the same level of challenge and the duels are always tight until the end. First Duel: Me 0 LP Jamie 500 LP There is not a better word for comeback in this situation. I beat him down to 3700 with his Jinzo and then he came out of nowhere and started winning until he finished me off. Second Duel: Me 0 LP Jamie 5600 LP There are several things I could have and should have done differently. I shadow of eyes-ed his cyber jar and then he played mask of brutality (raises a monsters attack by 1000) and beat me down with it. Well, I thought I would do better, but I won't know until next week. Props LON packs Good duels Cherry Pepsi Slops Thieves Jamie for beating me (j/k) BsBall2005@hotmail.com Give me deck suggestions
