First round: bye Secong Round:Me vs. Sparks (chaos) we rolled to see who will go first and i got the higher roll so i chose to go first. i drew pot of greed,dark ruler ha des,archfiend soldier,mirror force,waboku,and nobleman of crossout,eh,not bad. i played pot of greed and drew kuriboh and torrential.I laid down archfiend and waboku.he played mystical on my waboku and i chained it,so he cant hurt me this turn,hehe.he laid down 2 face down card and ended his turn.okay i drew fiber jar and the rest of the duel pretty much went like this: i sack arch for dark ruler, i attack, his turn he lays monster face down,i draw yata,nobleman his monster,lay yata down atk with both,his turn,he cant draw,lays down m/t ends turn.i draw harpies,use it,atk with yata,end game,i win,yay! me:8000 him:8000-5550-2850-surrender 2nd Duel: he goes first,he fiber jars,he atks me with GAF, i set mirror force,he atks, i use it,i set fiber. he atks fiber,i set fiber once more,hehe, he raigeki's my fiber, he atks with injection fairy lily,im really low, i raigeki,monster reborn sangan,summon yata, i atk he mirror forces,he monster reborns GAF,thats game,he wins. me:8000-5700-2300-0 him:8000-6000 3rd Duel: plain and simple, i yata lock him with me having imperial order on field,dark ruler,and yata. me:8000-6100-5400-3700 him:8000-5550-2850-surrender ROUND 3:Me vs. some biker looking dude with long hair 1st duel:i fiber jar,i draw necrofear,painful choice, special summon necrofear,summon giant orc,atk for 4400. he plays monster in def, i draw dark hole,i use dark hole,summon archfiend soldier, atk for 1900, lay down waboku.next turn i end the game with another archfiend. Me:8000-7400-5800 him:8000-3600-1700-0 2nd duel:actually, i dont really remember this game,all i remember is that i won ROUND 4: Me vs. Nick(he always wins the tournament) 1st duel:he sends out mauauding captain,speacial summons GAF,atks me for 4500.i cant do nothing,next turn he puts 2 axes on injection,ouch,thats game,he wins. Me:8000-3500-0 him:8000 2nd duel: was a very close duel but i come out victorious.yata lock rules! Me:8000-5700 Him:8000-6100-surrender 3rd duel: this one wasnt so close,i won pretty quick, but it was all becuz of my sangan which brought my yata to my hands,buhahahaha,its the lock baby!now im feeling pretty confident. ROUND 5: i really dont want to talk much of this one,i was versing a little kid,he was in the other LOSERS bracket, and i beat him perty bad,sorry kid. ROUND 6:-FINAL FOUR-Me vs. Nick(he advanced from losers bracket) i was pretty nervous,i almost thought for sure that i couldnt beat him a second time in the tournament,thinking that the last time i faced him was pure luck,but everything turned out good. i played jinzo all his traps were useless,and it seemed like that was all that he was drawing,and after a few turns 2400 atk monsters do alot of damage. Me:8000-6100-4800 Him:8000-5600-3200-800-0 2nd duel: this duel was pretty tough,my fiber jar brought me out of it when i needed it most,he had 3 monsters on the field with me having 3600 LP left.he atked fiber,my turn i monster reborned WOTBF and saced it for dark ruler,using WOTBF effect,bringing jinzo to my hand,i laid down archfiend soldier and atked his reflect bounder,the effect didnt work,due to dark ruler's effect.next turn,saced archfiend for jinzo,game. Me:8000-5700-3500 Him:8000-5550-3650-0 ROUND 6:(Final Round)Me vs. Travis(heavy beatdown) i do have to say that Travis wasnt using his best deck that day,he was using another one of his little bit weaker decks,so maybe that helped me out a little. 1st duel: man i dont even wanna talk about this duel,so i wont,all i'll say it that he WOOPED me, i mean all the letters capital,thats how bad. Me:8000-7300-4400-2200=0 him:8000-6100 2nd duel: I am very proud of myself, and my sangan for he has yet to fail me, he got my fiber to my hand,because my yata was in the graveyard,i fliped fiber a turn later,and drew my yata,what luck!(Downside:he has 5 cards in hand so it cant help much)i place down waboku in face down, and no monsters,he harpies my waboku,i chain it,he cant atk.this gives me another chance.i draw pot of greed,i use it,then i draw SORL and heavy storm, i play heavy storm,and i happen to destroy his torrential,i think he's running 2 or 3. i play down yata to go for a long shot i atk. he doesnt draw,he puts down CED-envoy of the end, oh crap.he attacks,ouch.i draw snatch steal! i snatch his CED and i lay down yata for game! sweeeeet!
