Round 1

Me vs Dylan T.
Duel 1-
My first hand was all magic. The only way for me to get on the field was to play Confiscation, take out one of his monsters and monster reborn it. I did that to his Dark Elf. I played that and set Magic Cylinders. He drew feather duster and played it. Played Dark Elf. I drew Gemini Elf. Played it, Attacked with Dark elf killing both and attacked for 1900 with Gemini. He played Dark elf and killed my Gemini. I draw Kycoo. Only monster I have so I put him f/d. Oh yeah, in my hand, 2 Mst, and a Nobleman. He Draws and plays Jiri Gumo in attack. Attacks Kycoo with Dark elf and attacked me with Jiri, called the coin toss right. It was down hill from there, lost that duel.

0-1

Duel 2-
Don't remember much but it was short. Something like this: I went first, Set Magic Cylinders and set Cyber jar. He played Dark elf and attacked. Flipped Magic Cylinders. My turn, draw Raigeki play that. Play graceful charity. Pull Jinzo, Goblin Attack force, sinister serpent. Discard Jinzo and Goblin attack force. Play Monster Reborn on Jinzo. Premature on Goblin. Summon Kycoo and play UWS on kycoo. Game.

1-1

Duel 3-
This was a bit longer. I will skip to the last turn. My turn... I have 400 Lps he is at 1800 Lps. I set imperial order and magic cylinder. Set sinister serpent in face down mode. His turn... He has Dark elf on the field. Summons Jiri Gumo. Plays heavy storm. I activate Imperial order. He reluctantly attacks with Dark Elf. I let that go through and kill my sinister serpent.. He is all smiles. Then says "I attack with Jiri Gumo... and that is game". I say "Yep, that is game" and flip Magic Cylinder

I win 2-1

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Round 2

Me vs Jason C (Ranked #1 in store)

Duel 1-
He didn't draw a very good hand. That is pretty much all I remember. The winning move was Feather duster, Snatch Steal his Hayabusa, summoned Goblin attack force and put united we stand on Hayabusa. That was it for that one.

1-0

Duel 2-
He Side Decked in to make a gravity bind deck.
This was kinda back and forth, and slow, I didn't really lose much life points he just stopped me from attacking with Gravity bind. Then I was able to get Jinzo on the field and that was it.

I win 2-0

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Round 3

Me vs Pete

Duel 1-
I got my but kicked! No 2 ways about it. Everything I did he had a counter for. He played Giant trunade like it was the best card in the game. He used 3 of them. Everytime I set a trap he would put it back in my hand. Then he played Swords of Revealing light and 2 turns went by and played Giant Trunade so he got 5 turns out of it.

0-1

Duel 2-
He was kicking my but here to, he had a fist full of magic here, I played Imperial Order and kept paying. But he would attack with Jiri Gumo on and empty field. He called the coin toss wrong. He is at 4000. I drew Pot of greed. Didn't pay, and played Pot. Got Raigeki and played that, he played Imperial order. I still didn't have a monster but I had torrential tribute down. His turn, summoned Hayabusa and I play torr trib. He payed for IO so he is now at 3300. I draw Skull Lair. Place that face down and end my turn. He Plays Jiri Gumo, I am at 2800 life points so I take my chance and don't kill him with Skull lair and he attacks. Calls coin toss wrong. He is at 1650 and I am at 600. My turn, I draw Gemini Elf. Play feather duster destroy his mirror force and skull lair. Flip my Skull lair and kill Gumo and play Gemini in attack and attack for the win.

1-1

Round 4

Me vs Cameron (my kid)

Duel 1-
He went first. Set a trap and set a monster. I went and summoned Gemini and attacked. Trap was Gravity bind. To make a long story short I didn't pull any Trap removal cards. It was slow painful death. He won.

0-1

Duel 2-
I went first. The forceful sentry and pulled his Gravity bind. Saw he had Hayabusa and mage power. I played goblin attack force in attack mode. Set Imperial order. He drew, he must have drawn Axe of Despair. He Summoned Hayabusa laid down his hole hand down with Mage power and Axe equipped to him. Hayabusa is at 4500 attack. He attacks, I flip Imperial order, Hayabusa dies, takes 1300 life points of damage and he loses he equip cards. I draw Feather duster, choose not to pay. Play the feather duster. Monster reborn Hayabusa and equip with United we stand. And that is Game.

1-1

Duel 3-
He chose for me to go first. I play ForceFul Sentry, then Delinquent Duo. I pulled out both his monsters and his Imperial order. Left the Gravity bind cause I has an MST in my hand. Summoned Goblin attack force and ended my turn. He must have pulled pot of greed cause he used it and got Raigeki and Hayabusa. He hit me for 2000. I draw and get sinister serpent. I play dark hole and set sinister serpent. No other monsters in my hand. He Draws, Plays White Magic Hat and kills my snake. I draw and get Gemini. Summon gemini, and attack. He flips Gravity Bind, I play MST on it. So I do 900 LP of damage to him. He draws and gets Graceful and plays it. Then Summons Hayabusa and equips him with Mage Power and Axe. He is at 3000 and attacks, kills Gemini and 1100 LP of damage to me. I am now at 4900, attacks again, I am now at 1900 he is at 7100. My turn, I draw Change of heart.

I win 2-1

Round 5 - Finals

Me Vs AJ

Duel 1-
It really wasn't much of a contest. The person running the tournament put all the weaker players in one bracket. He did a lot of stalling with face down 2000 defense monsters. Played Swords of light. While he was stalling I was building up for a one shot kill cause it would take to long with all this stalling. The end turn was I played pot of greed, got Monster reborn and united we stand. Played graceful charity, discarded Jinzo and sinister serpent. Played Harpies feather duster, played Raigeki. Call of the Haunted on Jinzo, Monster reborned Goblin attack force, summoned Kycoo and played united we stand on Jinzo. Game.

1-0

He Saced his monster on the field for Summoned Skull and attacked. I flipped Magic Cylinder. He is now at 4600. My turn, I drew Raigeki. I flipped Cyber, he drew all monsters. I got Pot of greed, united we stand, Heavy storm, Gemini Elf, and graceful charity. I play heavy storm. Then Raigeki. Play Pot of greed and get monster reborn. Monster reborn Kycoo.
