Now that you've seen my deck, I will reveal how it fared in the tournament.

ROUND 1: Magnet Magician v.s. Toon Deck (amateur)
Duel 1:  The little boy I faced in the first round had a descent deck, but 
had no idea how to play toons, which are very difficult to play. In the end 
I won with a Dark Magician Girl.
Duel 2: I won with ease with a Magician of Black Chaos and a little help 
from Mirror Force.

ROUND 2: Magnet Magician v.s. Beatdown (average)
Duel 1: This duel went back and forth with magic cards until he was at 1700 
lps, and I was at 2900 lps. He had a Vorse Raider with an Axe of Despair and 
was about to finish me off with raigeki, but I activated Full Magic 
Nullification, then destroyed his monster with Dark Hole and attacked with 
Beta the Magnet Warrior.
Duel 2: He played Jinzo near the beggining,and was destroying me, but I 
managed to summon a Devil Token, which prevented him from attacking for the 
one turn I needed, on my next turn, I sacrificed the token for a Dark 
Magician Girl with 2600 atk points. After that, it went down hill for him, 
even though he was destroying my monsters, I kept playing new ones and 
eventually brought his life poits dow to zero.

ROUND 3: Magnet Magician v.s. Jake yet another Beatdown (very good)
Duel 1: This guy was unbelievably good. He was only 13 years old, but he 
played like most of the older players. I seriously thought that if I did not 
win against him, he would win the tournament. He played an excellent 
beatdown with 3 Vorse Raiders and 3 Gemini Elves. I don't remember much 
besides that, because he was overwellming my monsters with those cards. He 
won the first match, but it was still close.
Duel 2: This duel was turning out the same way as the last, except I 
realized something, I had Beta in defence mode and Alph and 2 Gammas in my 
hand, along with Devil's Sanctuary and Monster Reborn. I knew I needed 
Valkyrion now, I drew and I got Dark Hole. It wouldn't help right now, so I 
set Gamma in defence and activated Devil's Sanctuary. If he attacked Gamma, 
it would mean I have another draw to get Valkyrion, if he attacked Beta, I 
would need another Beta and Valkyrion, obviously he was not going to attack 
the Devil's Sanctuary token as that would do damage to him. He had a Jinzo 
on the field and I was lucky he could not play any more monsters. He 
attacked and I was sure he picked Beta, I nearly flipped him over, but then 
he said "no, I'm attacking your other face down monster." Okay, I got lucky, 
but I haven't got what I need yet. My deck was quite small, so there was a 
descent chance I would draw Valkyrion (there is 2 in my deck). I thought for 
a moment before I drew, I said to myself, it's not over if I don't get 
Valkyrion, I could still win, but if I get Valkyrion, I win immediately (his 
life points were low, 3200 to be exact). I drew and 
got..........................Valkyrion!!! Yes, I know that sounds corny, 
but, I don't care, I got what I wanted. I summoned him, played dark hole, 
then Monster Reborn and attacked dirrectly.
Duel 3: His dad (who sounded like a jerk) was pressuring him to hurry up, 
and he could not concentrate in the duel, so he lost, even though it was 
still close.

ROUND 4: Magnet Magician v.s. Clown Deck - FINALS
Duel 1: I owned his clown deck. With a ton of luck, I drew Heavy Storm and 
Harpie's Feather Duster at the exact right time, and was almost wide open 
for attacks. I won 7800 - 0000
Duel 2: He swapped some cards around, and it was a whole new strategy, he 
played serious Magic and Trap and Monster Negation. I would play a monster 
and !!boom!! Solemn Judgement, he played 3 on me, I took out his lifepoints, 
but I had no monsters, he even Horn of Heavend my Valkyrion. He also Giant 
Trapholed my Dark Magician......twice. His deck was pissing the _____ outa 
me. Any who, I was practically out ' uve playable monsters, and I have 25 
monsters in my deck. In the end, Alpha the Magnet Warrior was all I needed 
to wipe out his ATK mode Dream Clown and do the 100 damage I needed to 
finish him off. FINAL SCORE Me= 450, Him= 0000

Overall thoughts.......... All of them were on the second last duel. After 
that duel, I cheked my deck and I had only a Alpha left in my deck, besides 
a few Magic cards, had my opponent, who's name is Jake, attacked my Gamma 
the Magnet warrior, I would'uve had nothing left to fight with and he 
would'uve won the duel. Besides that, everything else could'uve gone anyway.
