Location - Altered States Game and Hobby, Syracuse, New York Entry Fee - $5 Prizes - $$$$ depending on how many people (i've seen it as much as $55) Approxamite # of people - 50 This is a Very Simple to play very simple to win Summoned skull/Maha vailo based deck, that is relatively affordable. Skull Beatdown - Lvl 5 or Higher - 3 - Summoned Skulls 1 - Masked Beast 1 - Fiend Megacyber Most people diss the fiend megacyber because it's only 2200 atk, BUT with it's effect it can be special summoned if your opponent has 2 more monsters than you. Yes, this does come in handy ALOT!! Lvl 4 or lower non Effect monsters 1 - 7 Colored Fish 1 - Prevent Rat 1 - Island Turtle 1 - Giant Soldier of Stone (Pretty much just to get by gavity bind with...) 1 - Spirit of the Harp 1 - Aqua Madoor All the other 2000 Def Monsters besides Giant are there for one purpose to last long enough to get out summoned skull. Usually this works fine unless *cough* Nobleman of Crossout *cough*.... Lvl 4 or lower Effect monsters 2 - Man Eater Bugs 2 - Magician of Faith 1 - Mask of Darkness 1 - Big Eye 1 - Cyber Jar (Hehe Die Exodia!) 2 - Hyabusa Knights 1 - forgiving Maiden 1 - Maha Vailo 1 - Sangan (To Get Hyabusa Knight or sometimes a 2000 Def) 1 - With of the Black Forest (Can someone say Summoned Skull? Just wondering) 1 - Rock Spirit 1- Wall of Illusion Pretty much i have alot of flip effects. Although when someone playes royal command i pretty much scream and cry and watch as my man eater is attacked then nothing happens. Most people would call me nuts for putting 2 Magician of Faiths in a deck but you'll see why i have 2 in a minute! Magic Cards 1 - Harpie's Feather Duster 1 - Curse of the Masked Beast 1 - Monster Reborn 1 - Graceful Charity 1 - Mystical Space Typhoon 2 - Axe of Despair 1 - Fairy Meteor Crush 1 - Malevolent Nuzzler 1 - Heavy Storm 1 - Black Pendant 1 - Raigeki 1 - Change of Heart 1 - Pot of Greed 1 - Tribute to the Doomed 1 - Card Destruction 1 - Ebikyo Drakmord 1 - Premature Burial The Draw cards are only for deperate situationg, plus Pot of Greed looks cool! The Equips are for Maha or something else depending on where i'm at. Trap Cards 1 - Imperial Order 1 - Gravity Bind 3 - Seven Tools of the Bandit 1 - Magic Jammer 1 - Mirror Force 1 - Call of the Haunted 1 - Solemn Judgement 1 - Magic Cylinder Ok so what most of my traps are counters. Trust me COUNTERS HELP! Total Cards: 53 It's alot of cards, but you can usually get what you want! Tournament Events: Round # 1- Faced some kid, on his first turn he set a Bio-Mage, I think you can figure out what happened from there.. Round # 2- This was the toughest match until i reached the finals. The kid is a mediocre duelist with AWESOME cards. Sub-Round # 1 - On his first turn he played a Gemini Elf and set down 4 magic/trap cards and played Mage Power on it, Ouch 3400 Atk! My hand Consisted of nothing, So i played Pot of Greed Drew a Feather Duster and a Graceful Charity. Played the Graceful Charity and drew a Monster Reborn, Summoned Skull, and an Axe of Despair. I Discarded Summoned Skull and a Sangan. Played Harpies Feather (All of his face down were magic, i almost laughed!). Monster Reborn Summoned Skull Equipped it with Axe and a Black Pendant. Attacked, and Set a Seven Tools on the Field Ending my Turn. He Set a Card Face down and a M/T Face Down as well. Next Cards I Drew Was nothing other than Tribute to The Doomed, I played it and he Magic Jammered It, Hehe Thanks Seven Tools Attacked Ending the Game. Sub-Round # 2 - So Far it Seems Easy right? hehe I'm sorry but if i went into detail about our next match it would probable consume alot of paper, only because i was 1 card away from decking out when he beat me! Sub-Round # 3 - The Easiest of all 3 Drew a Hand made in heaven (if your going second) Hand was Change of Heart, Summoned Skull, Axe of Despair 2x, and Malevolent. He Put a monster Face down With a M/t Down as well. My Next draw was MST! I Destroyed his face down (Mirror Force)Phew! COH His Face down (Was a Big Eye) Flipped It (Arranged the cards so Raigeki was on top, didn't even check the rest) Tributed, Voila Summoned Skull, 2 Axes and a Malevolent. Summoned Skull = One Bad Mutha (5200 Actually). Attacked LP Directly. His turn he set a monster and ended his turn. Didn't even look at my top card just drew it and played it.. His Face down was a Man Eater. He Kinda died... Round # 3 - I Don't remember any of this, partly because of the fact round two took so long, all i remember was that i slaughtered the kid with Masked Beast... THE FINALS! - I Had to go up against one of my Friends (Who i happen to be able to beat ooo 1 out of every 100 times we duel! Yes his deck is that good. Hmm Getting of butt kicked. The First matched lasted o No more than 2 turns, and the second match was over on the fourth, Curse Jinzo!
