      Okay first off, This morning at like 9:00, I dueled my cousin for practice. He made me promise to be in a team duel with him as my teammate. It was pretty close. I ended up winning. About halfway to the 23 mile travel, Nick(my cousin) realized he forgot ALL HIS CARDS!!!! Luckily, I brought all of mine. I let him make a deck with my leftovers. As expected, he pulls it off.Okay enough talk, To the report.

 

     First match-Team Me and Nick versus Wyatt and Zack (both run pretty good beatdowns except Wyatt is about 5 and doesn't play with tributes)

       Wyatt doesn't play with tributes, So me,Nick, and Zack play with them. This happened at like 10:00  and now it's 3:30 so I don't remember exactly everything. I remember having 2 sets of tornado wall/umi and no monsters. I play one set. Nick warned me he had card destruction , so I emptied out my hand on the 3rd turn. By then, Zack was down to 3,000 because of Nick using my old Toon Deck(which tends to be better than my new deck.) Zack had to go off and play raigeki to destroy both Toon Skulls.Of course, I pulled another Fisherman out of my deck. I play aqua madoor  face down and metalmorph face down. Wyatt pulls out buster blader. I had just enough cards in my graveyard to Skull lair it. I waited for him to attack with it then I activated it.(It had two lightning blades-my worst nightmare.)That's when It was my turn. I pull out amphibian beast and attack Wyatt directly. Come Nick's turn, He plays another Toon Skull. I never did figure out what he played face down. I bring out Fisherman by tributing a wall and attack Wyatt directly for the win. Come Nick's turn, He attacks Zack for game, set, and match.

       After that match, I did the STUPIDEST MOVE OF MY DUELING CAREER!!! I had to go off and trade mirror force and UWS for JINZO!!!!!!! By the way, Jinzo was the card I was talking about earlier. Sorry for the disappointment, but it's a lot harder than you may think to get a Secret rare like that around here. If you E-Mail me, Tell me if you would have done that if you don't have a Jinzo. Come next match, I was very ready with my Jinzo.

                 Match 2  Me versus Jace (masked beast beatdown-AWESOME!)

      This match sucked. I coudn't get anything I needed at the right time. I think my first hand was like tornado, umi,  Madoor, Fisherman, and 7 colored. I played umi and tornado wall face down. I then play madoor. He plays the ritual for masked beast-I forgot what  it is called. Boy did that come back to bite him in the gludius maximus.I played Change of heart. I attack directly and  come back Main phasee 2 and pull out legendary fisherman by tributing his masked beast.  -3200 for him.He plays maha. No equips  in face up defense mode. I draw the card that sealed it for him. SNATCH STEAL... I play it (naturally)I then pull out another 7 colored and Attack with all of them.It's over. I Take his graceful charity. We were playing for cards. I didn't want to take anything significant, because I know how much it would ruin my deck if I lost even one of my fishermen.

        I went into the store area with Nick to look at some card protectors with him. I already  have  one, so I tell him to get the white one for himself. I then go back and get 3 boosters. I get 1 lob and 2 psv. In the lob I get man-eater bug and in the 2 psv's, I get both noblemen. Not bad. Someone lost their Dragon Champion. Uhhhhhhh... I didn't do it... They never did find it. Well, that was about all my matches. Short and Sweet is how I keep it.  Peace out...
