!!Supreme Darkness Machine Deck!!
Owner of Tournament Report: Robert Sanders
Date/Time: 11:00-3:00 Saturday, March 17, 2003
Location: Trademart @ Southpark Mall/ Moline, Illinois

      Hello, all duelists!  Most of you know me from the past few tournament reports that I have sent in, but for you that haven't the slightest clue of who I am, I am Robert Sanders.  Anyways, today I am trying out a new deck that is well under-estimated.  This deck is based to take down the opponent's hand and deck, while going for a Dark Machine-type theme.  It works pretty good and has done more damage than expected.  Here it is:

Monsters: x21
2x Magician of Faith
3x Man-Eater Bug
1x Penguin Soldier
2x Needle Worm (Both of them are Japanese, but getting the American version seems impossible)
1x Cyber Jar
1x Sangan
1x Witch of the Black Forest
1x Mystic Tomato
3x Cannon Soldier
1x Ground Attacker Bugroth (I recieved an Overdrive after the tournament to replace my Bugroth)
1x Guardian of the Throne Room
1x The Bistro Butcher (This card is better than you think in this deck)
2x Gemini Elf
1x Barrel Dragon
(Jinzo belongs in this deck, but no one will trade Jinzo to me)

Magics: x15
1x Card Destruction
1x Change of Heart
1x Confiscation
1x Dark Hole
1x Delinquent Duo
2x Graceful Charity
1x Heavy Storm
1x Limiter Removal
2x Malevulent Nuzzler (Poor man's Axe of Despair)
1x Monster Reborn
1x Pot of Greed
1x Swords of Revealing Light
1x The Forceful Sentry

Traps: x6
1x Imperial Order
2x Robbin' Goblin
2x Time Seal
1x Waboku

      I know, I know, you probably think that it is funny that I play Time Seal, but it is always under-estimated to what it does.  These cards are not the greatest, but the deck does considerable damage to the opponent.  My Needle Worms are very useful, but I wish that I could get the american version.
      Anyways, the tournament was like every Saturday..... I was greeted by some of the coolest duelists like Andy Green and everyone else.  Broc wasn't there because he had to go to one of his friend's birthday party, which that kinda sucked because he is one of the only duelists that is quite the challenge to me.  As I was saying, Jeric and William were there like always (which is an excellent thing) and the tournament began a little later.  I was the coach to set it up and by rolling a 20 sided die, the results were in and this is who I had to take on.

Round One: Me vs. Hershel (Wind Deck)
      Well, here is another deck that is based on one theme.  I started with a Needle Worm face down in defense mode and he took the bait by attacking with Bladefly.  He then summoned Harpie's Brother and I thought I was going to have some trouble.... until I pulled up my Gemini Elf.  On his turn, he couldn't pull up a monster I assumed and he passed his turn.  I summoned Ground Attacker Bugroth, played two cards face-down, and dented his life points by doing direct damage.  Next turn, he summoned Girochen Kuwagata and went to attack my Bugroth, but Limiter Removal made him quite surprised.  His Kuwagata went to the graveyard, but was sadly accompanied by my Bugroth.  On my turn, I summoned The Bistro Butcher and had my Gemini Elf attack.  On his turn, he set a monster in defense mode and ended his turn.  On my turn, I tributed my two monsters and brought up my Darkness Machine Deck's ultimate monster: Barrel Dragon!  I used his effect and suceeded and attacked his life points directly, finishing off his life points.
      This match didn't take long because of my starting strategy.  I played Graceful Charity and Barrel Dragon and Monster Reborn was in my hand.  I discarded Barrel Dragon and another card, Monster Reborned my Barrel Dragon, and summoned Cannon Soldier.  It was his turn and he summoned Girochen Kuwagata equipped with Malevulent Nuzzler and he destroyed my Cannon Soldier.  After that, Barrel Dragon destroyed that monster, and did serious damage within the next few turns, ending the game.  Score: 2-0

Round Two: Me vs. William Hollister (Jeric's Brother) (Anything Deck)
      Naturally, William would be using his Dark Deck, but some idiot stole his deck and he was forced to play with a watered-down deck made up of his trading cards.  I started with Time Seal, Limiter Removal and Robbin' Goblin face down and summoned Cannon Soldier.  On his turn, he summoned Cure Mermaid, which I activated Robbin' Goblin in response.  He attacked my Cannon Soldier, but I surprised him with Limiter Removal.  With the Robbin' Goblin effect, I removed one of his cards from his hand.  On my turn, I activated Time Seal, summoned Gemini Elf, and kept attacking his life points until his life points dropped to zero.
      On round two, he went first by setting a monster in defense mode.  I played Dark Hole on my turn, set down a card on the Magic/Trap card zone and summoned Sangan, doing a direct attack.  On his turn, he couldn't pull up anything and passed his turn.  I summoned Cannon Soldier and flipped over Robbin' Goblin and I am sure you know exactly what I did.  I attacked him with both monsters, then launched Sangan to his life points, removing two cards from his hand to the graveyard.  The duel continued as he finally got cards, and Needle Worm was brought up and was used on William.  At the end, I Monster Reborned the Wingweaver that was taken from his hand and finished off his life points.  Nice try, William. Score: 4-0
Round Three: Me vs. James R. (Magnet Warrior Deck)
      I went first and I played Time Seal.  I summoned...... actually, this was so quick of a battle that I didn't get to take many notes except that I finished him off with Cannon Soldier.  Sorry :(
      In the second round, I started again with Time Seal and I set down Needle Worm.  He Change of Heart it and used its effect on me.  He also summoned Harpie's Brother and did direct damage.  On my turn, I played Cyber Jar in defense mode, which he attacked.  After that, for some reason, he forfeited.  Oh well..... easy win, I guess.  Score: 6-0
Round Four: Me vs. Tony R. (Dark Magician Deck)
      Tony told me that this is a Dark Magician Deck, but Dark Magician didn't show up at all.  Another thing is that I am surprised that I am taking on James R.'s brother.  Anyways, I started with a Man-Eater Bug in face-down defense.  He set a monster in defense mode and ended his turn.  I flipped the bug and equipped it with Malevulent Nuzzler.  I also activated Time Seal to prevent him from drawing and kept attacking his life points.  My bug was eventually attacked and destroyed, but then I summoned Ground Attacker Bugroth and attacked directly.  After that, I kept summoning monsters and eventually finished off his life points.
      The second match was so quick that I, once again, didn't take much note on this battle.  All I wrote down was that I finished him off with Gemini Elf.  Score: 8-0
Round Five (Final Round): Me vs. Michael (My brother) (F-I-N-A-L/Beatdown Deck)
      My, haven't my brother's skills improved!  I started with Needle Worm in defense mode, and my brother attacked it, activating its effect.  He eventually summoned Summoned Skull w/ Malevulent Nuzzler and was on the offensive.  He attacked my Witch of the Black Forest and I brought up the monster that gets me out of every situation: Cyber Jar!  I pulled up some offensive monsters while he had Man-Eater Bugs for face-down defense.  He pulled up Destiny Board and another card, but I disappointed him with Heavy Storm.  The duel continued on and on and on and on and on and on..................  I almost had him because he was down to four cards, but he got the upper hand and finished off my life points.
      On the second round, I started with Time Seal, but he went again for the Destiny Board.  I had Heavy Storm, which I played, but he eventually used my monsters against me and won dealing over 6000 damage in one hit.  Great game, bro!

      Well, I got second place, which isn't too bad, but prizes were only given out by random, not by rank.  I dislike that rule alot.  Oh well.... Good Luck and Happy Dueling :)

      Oh, one more thing before I'm done, my Darkness Beatdown Deck hasn't been dismantled, so that is still able to battle.
