From: Matthew Stille [mwscardsfan@hotmail.com] mwscardsfan@hotmail.com Exodia Deck Matt Jerseyville, IL Sunday July 24, 2004. mwscardsfan@hotmail.com The store is in a Flea Market, which is in an ex-Wal-Mart, so it doesn't really have a name yet. mwscardsfan@hotmail.com Participants: 10 or 12 (can't remember exactly) Prizes: 1st=$20 store credit, 2nd=$15 store credit, 3rd=$10 store credit. mwscardsfan@hotmail.com My Deck (40) Monsters (19) 2x Manticore of Darkness 3x Mad Dog of Darkness 3x Emissary of the Afterlife 5x Exodia Pieces 1x Sangan 1x Witch of the Black Forest 1x Exiled Force 1x Sinister Serpent 1x Fiber Jar 1x Spirit Reaper Magic (14) 3x Mystical Space Typhoon 2x Card of Safe Return 1x Raigeki 1x Dark Hole 1x Pot of Greed 1x Graceful Charity 1x Change of Heart 1x Painful Choice 1x Premature Burial 1x Monster Reborn 1x Harpie's Feather Duster Trap (7) 1x Imperial Order 1x Waboku 1x Call of the Haunted 1x Mirror Force 1x Ring of Destruction 1x Solemn Judgment 1x Backup Soldier SideDeck (15) 1x CED-EoTE 1x BLS-EoTB 1x Airknight Parshath 1x Jinzo 3x D.D. Warrior Lady 1x Reflect Bounder 1x Tribe-Infecting Virus 1x Breaker the Magical Warrior 1x Confiscation 1x The Forceful Sentry 1x Delinquent Duo 1x Snatch Steal 1x Mirage of Nightmare I decided to test out my Exodia deck in a tourney for fun. I sidedeck chaos just in case I feel like switching to Choas after the first or second duel. This tournament though I just decided to not sidedeck and see how well I would do just using Exodia. mwscardsfan@hotmail.com Round 1 Me vs. Damien I'm sorry but I don't remember this too much. He beat me one duel (when I had 4 pieces in my hand) but I won the match. I think one win was with Exodia and the other was LP damage. I'm 1-0. Round 2 Me vs. Phil Phil won the first duel. The second duel was a tie. The third duel I won. So we had to play a tiebreaker and he won that one. My record falls to 1-1. Round 3 Me vs. Will (Phil's brother) I think that I win both of the duels without him winning. His deck isn't as good as Phil's. Phil's has BLS-EoTB and good light/dark monsters. I'm not sure how good Will's deck is. My record is 2-1. Since there was only 10 people we only played 3 rounds with Phil and Chris Sr. going undefeated. The finals were Chris Sr. (1 seed) vs. Will (6 seed), Chris Jr. (4 seed) vs. Me (3 seed), and Phil (2 seed) vs. Scott (5 seed). Chris Sr. beats Will, I beat Chris Jr. barely 2 out of 3, and Phil beats Scott. Top 3 seeds move on. Semi-Finals Phil vs. Me again. Phil this time with good drawing power takes me down 2 duels to 0. I never got any good draws but I wasn't expecting to win anyway. So I finish with a record of 3-2 and get third place. Finals Chris Sr. vs. Phil mwscardsfan@hotmail.com I didn't watch the Final match but I do know that Chris Sr. beat Phil. I'm not sure what kind of deck Chris Sr. was running either. With my prize money and another week's prize money I get a 1/e Last Turn. I had a lot of fun using Exodia because Exodia was one of the first good decks I ever put together when I first started. Sometimes it's almost more fun to lose than it is to win. Props to Chris Sr. who helped make Phil's deck better with some Thunder Dragons and Hysteric Fairys. Props to Chris Sr. for going undefeated. Props to Manticore which saved me in a lot of the duels. Props to Tyler who traded BLS-EoTB to me and then I traded it to Phil before the tourney so he could use it. Props to the Mirror Force that Tyler also traded to me which I also traded to Phil before the tourney. Props to Phil for getting second place for the first time; he's getting a lot better and so is his deck. Props to me sticking with Exodia and not side decking in the Chaos during any of the matches. Slops to my bad luck/bad draws. Slops to Chris Jr. making a bad mistake against me which probably could've won him the duel and gotten him to the Semis. We all make mistakes though. Slops to how many people showed up. We have gotten like 16 before but not that day. mwscardsfan@hotmail.com mwscardsfan@hotmail.com That's all for today.
