My deck: The Blue-Eyes Beatdown 2.0

Tribute Monsters- 3

1x Blue-Eyes White Dragon (Still my favorite card!)
1x Summoned Skull (Most powerful Tribute)
1x Jinzo (Total control!)

Lower Level Monsters- 16
1x Cyber Jar (A powerful effect, monster destruction)
2x Magician of Faith (Gets my Spell cards back)
2x Harpies Brother (A good beatdown monster until I get some Luster Dragons (MFC 
version))
1x Giant Orc (Common, weaker form of GAF)
2x Kycoo the Ghost Destroyer (Powerful attack, decent effect, suicide for Fiber 
Jar users)
1x Goblin Attack Force (Excellent monster, bad effect)
1x Witch of the Black Forest (Helps me get my Jinzo or SS)	
1x Man-Eater Bug (Excellent effect, unpleasant surprise for opponent)
1x Newdoria (Upgrade for Man-Eater)
1x La Jinn (see Harpies Bro)
1x Gearfried the Iron Knight (see La Jinn)
1x X-Head Cannon (Powerful and it looks cool)
1x Sangan (Lets me get my Witch or Man-Eater)

Spell- 14
1x Heavy Storm (Lets me attack without fear)
1x Dark Hole (Magic version of Cyber Jar (or is it the other way around?))
2x Mystical Space Typhoon (Destroys the opponents Spell or Traps)
1x Mask of Brutality (A weaker version of Axe of Despair, which I can't afford)
1x Mage Power (Excellent equip, I think it's better than United We Stand)
1x Pot of Greed (Draw power)
1x Monster Reborn (Turns the tide of a duel. My favorite monster to Reborn is 
their 
Jinzo)
1x Raigeki (You should have seen my face when I pulled it from a LOB booster, my 
favorite Magic card)
1x Graceful Charity (Good with Monster Reborn and Magician of Faith, draw power)
1x Change of Heart (Awesome card, gets my SS out on turn 1)
1x Delinquent Duo (Good on the first turn, can kill Yata or other important 
cards)
2x Faerie Meteor Crush (With the release of Giant Orc and the overuse of Spear 
Dragon, 
Goblin Attack force, and Spirit Reaper, this can be a real killer)
1x Soul Exchange (Free Tribute)

Traps- 7
2x Trap Hole (Not used much anymore, but still powerful)
1x Magic Jammer (Stops Raigeki, Heavy Storm, Feather Duster)
1x Imperial Order (1st Edition, I traded a Pegasus deck Relinquished for it)
2x Waboku (see Scapegoat)
1x Mirror Force (Excellent trap card, can turn the tide of a duel)

The basic strategy for this deck is to beat-up the opposition and finish their 
Life Points 
off. It's not great, but it works. I can't really afford Axs, rings, or any 1900 
attackers. 
Hopefully I can get some now that they aren't s rare.

Match 1- Brian's Blue-Eyes Beatdown vs. Bryan w/ Beatdown

Duel 1- This is the kid who traded me the Mirror Force mentioned above. This 
duel was 
pretty long. He had good Monsters like Skilled Dark Magician and Luster Dragon, 
but 
my out-of-date Beatdown held strong. Then he plays Yata. He'd have Locked me if 
it 
weren't for Waboku since my hand was all Magic. After flipping Fiber jar a few 
times, I 
got out Jinzo w/ FMC, It went downhill from there.

Duel 2- This Match was also quite long. He got out Swords a few turns in and 
built up 
quite an arsenal of monsters. I used Raigeki and Summoned Kycoo with Faerie 
Meteor 
Crush. He uses Spellbinding Circle. Next turn, I try to Sac Kycoo for Summoned 
Skull, 
but he activates Mask of Restrict. Sooner or later, I beat him using FMC against 
his Spirit 
Reaper and other Defense Monsters. It was also cool to see how much the cards I 
gave 
him hurt me.

Match 2- Brian's Blue-Eyes Beatdown vs. ???? w/ Beatdown

Duel 1- I lasted a while until he got out Ha Des. I started out good, but 
eventually fell to 
Ha Des and a group of 1900 attackers.

Duel 2- This duel was 4 turns long. I go first, summons Witch in attack mode. He 
Summons Gemini, sets a Trap, and passes. I sac Witch for S.S., search for Jinzo 
and 
attack. He activates Waboku. He summons another Gemini, plays Snatch Steal, and 
plays 
United We Stand and attacks. I'm gone. 

Well, I did well for my second Tourney. Afterward, I traded my x-Head Cannon for 
Injection Fairy Lily (yay!).

Props- 
Getting to the second round.
Getting my Injection Fairy Lily!
My dad for taking me.
Jinzo tins!
Meteor Crush for helping me out!

Slops-
Getting a Wander Mummy in my PGD pack.
Not winning.
My Blue-Eyes never seeing play.
