Since then I challenged many of my friends. After I got my strategies down I started to compete in the tournaments. My first tournament duel I lost in the very 1st round. After that day I worked hard on making better strategies and making my deck stronger. Since then I've competed in 4 other tournaments. The last tournament I made it to the 6th round. Even though I didn't win I still go because my goal is to be the last one standing. My advice to everyone who wants to duel is to never give up.. Oh yeah, there is one more advice...if you want to be a good duelist earn your way up; don't be a wuss by stealing other peoples cards. Have the ba*?$ to earn what you keep.
