Monster Removal Kyle Root Beer Comics Decatur, IL May 23, 2003 18 people participated This was not an offical tournament so there wasn't that great of a turnout(i guess 18 isn't too bad) but it was still a pretty fun tournament. I went to this tournament with a group of 5 friends, me(kyle), jerry, joe, sean, and cody. The way this tournament works is you get best of 3 duels, and if you win the best of 3 duels you get 3 points, if you lose you get 0, and if time runs out(a draw) you get 1 point. Ok now onto my deck and after my deck is the rest of the tournament report. Monsters:(20) Jinzo x1 Summoned Skull x1 Nimble Momonga x3 Bazoo the Soul-Eater x1 Man-Eater Bug x3 Penguin Solider x2 Magician of Faith x2 Goblin Attack Force x1 Cyber Jar x1 Witch of the Black Forest x1 La Jinn x1 Sinister Serpent x1 Dark Elf x1 Hayabusa Knight x1 Magic:(16) Raigeki x1 Swords of Revealing Light x1 Pot of Greed x1 Graceful Charity x1 Tribute to the Doomed x2 Axe of Despair x1 Mage Power x1 Monster Reborn x1 Premature Burial x1 Dark Hole x1 Heavy Storm x1 Nobleman of Crossout x1 Change of Heart x1 Snatch Steal x1 Harpie's Feather Duster x1 Traps:(11) Trap Hole x3 Torrential Tribute x1 Mirror Force x1 Call of the Haunted x1 Magic Jammer x1 Seven Tools of the Bandit x2 Imperial Order x1 Michizure x1 Round 1: Me(Kyle) vs. Bo Well I made some big mistakes in this duel, the biggest was underestimating him because he was alot younger than me. Duel 1: I remember me not being able to draw anything, then I drew a nimble momonga, and started to mount a comeback. Then he did a wicked Canon solider combo where he cleared my field(with raigeki and harpies feather duster i think) and played scapegoat, attacked with canon soldier, launched all the scapegoats, then launched canon soldier itself and that was game. me- 0, him -3400(i believe) Duel 2: This duel I managed to keep a defense until I got out bazoo the soul-eater and used his effect to the fullest and equipped him with the mage power in my hand. The mage power only boosted him 500 cuz that was the only m/t on the field. So I attacked for 3000 points direct damage. After that he played a face-down card(witch of the black forest) and told me to go. I drew, set a m/t, and used bazoo's effect again and attacked. Then I asked "You're at 5000, right?" and he said "No, i'm still at 8000." and he was trying to say that I never attacked directly with Bazoo(although I knew I did), but I let it go. So then i got out Jinzo later than match and i ended up taking the game with some other beatdown monsters. me- 8200, him- 0 Duel 3: This duel was a pretty good duel until he snatch steals my jinzo attacked with him and canon soldier and launched some stuff until I was dead. me- 0, him - 5600 Well Bo you're a great duelist sorry if i'm wrong but i'm pretty sure I attacked directly with Bazoo, it's all good though. After this duel the store owner was asking about two kids that were still dueling and he kept persisting on them even though the time limit wasn't up and it wouldn't make a difference if they were done or not. So someone went over there and told them the time limit was up and they told the owner it was a draw. The owner then was like "How can it be a draw if the time limit isn't up?" and they said someone told them the time was up, so I guess a draw it was. I don't see why the owner was so worried if they were done yet or not...but oh well it's out of my hands. Anyways here's a little progress report on the rest of my group. Joe beat his opponent, my friend Jerry. Jerry was a little upset that he had to play friends in the first match. Sean won his match, and Cody lost his. Round 2: Me(Kyle) vs my friend(Jerry) Well this is exactly the match that we didn't want, but I knew it was coming. Sooooo, let's get on to the match. Duel 1: This match Jerry ended up running into some Nimble Momongas and i pretty much just beat him down the whole duel. me - 9900, him- 0 Duel 2: I don't remember much of what happened in this duel, but I think Jerry hit me big time with my powered up Goblin Attack Force by playing Magic Cylinders. me - 0, him - 8000??? Duel 3: Jerry ran me over with his deck disruption and just ate me up. He totally owned me this match. me - 0, him- 6000(from delinquent duo and confiscation) Well, this sure wasn't looking good, 0-2 in matches, which means i have 0 points. and i was 2-4 in duels. Today definately wasn't my day. Ok, now for a little progress report on the rest of my friends: Joe won his match. (Joe is now 2-0 in matches) Cody won his match.(Cody is now 1-1 in matches) Sean won his match against the kid that beat me in Round 1. (Sean is now 2-0 in matches) Round 3: Me(Kyle) vs. Greg Duel 1: Well this kid knew the basics of dueling and most of the rules, but he made mistakes but i went easy on him. At the end i had a Hayabusa Knight with Axe of Despair on him and i was gonna attack his life points directly for the win, and he said "oops, i forgot to play this card" and it was Dian Keto the Cure Master, and i told him that he couldn't, but then i just let him slide. I ended up winning the next turn. me - 8000, him - 0 Duel 2: Well basically I just beat him down and then he got all happy when he monster reborned the Serpent Night Dragon that he discarded from Graceful Charity, until he realized that his Serpent Night Dragon couldn't take out my Bazoo(2500 attack). So later in the duel he tricks me into not attacking his face down monster(or should I say begs) and he change of hearts my Goblin Attack Force, and flips up his face down card(some 1800 monster) and attacks directly. then next turn I kill his monster with tribute to the doomed and take the match. Well Greg, you need to cut down your 100 card deck cuz u got some good cards and u know how to play, so u have some potential. me- 3900, him - 0 well that puts me at 1-2 in matches, so that leaves me with 3 points, and a long ride home. So here's the progress report on my friends: Joe wins his match( he goes 3-0 in matches) Cody wins his match( he goes 2-1 in matches) Jerry wins his match ( he goes 2-1 in matches) Sean wins his match (he goes 3-0 in matches) So then the store owner announces that you have to have a perfect match record to make it to the finals. so only Joe and Sean go, along with 2 other kids, both running exodia. Results of the Finals: Joe beats Sean Exodia kid 1 beats Exodia kid 2. So Joe plays Exodia Kid 1 for the championship and wins.(nice one joe) and Sean plays Exodia Kid 2 and loses(boo sean lol) But the funny thing is the argument after Sean plays Exodia kid 2. The exodia kid says he wins cuz he has exodia in his hand from Sangan's effect, but Sangan hitting the graveyard makes the Exodia kid lose his final 300 points from Skull Invitation. So they argue over this and Exodia Kid 2 ends up getting 3rd.
