Number of paricipants: About 30

Well, last week I finished 2nd, so this week I was hoping to win. Anyway,
a few people I knew also went. So anyway, here's my deck.

2x Gemini Elf
3x Don Zaloog
1x D.D. Warrior Lady
1x Fiber Jar
1x Sinister Serpent
1x Goblin Attack Force
1x Injection Fairy Lily
1x Exiled Force
1x Yata-Garasu
1x Tribe-Infecting Virus
1x Spirit Reaper
1x Witch
1x Sangan
1x Breaker the Magical Warrior

1x Airknight Parshath
1x Vampire Lord

2x MST
1x Harpie's Feather Duster
1x Pot of Greed
1x Raigeki
1x Dark Hole
1x Change of Heart
1x Monster Reborn
1x Deliquent Duo
1x Confiscation
1x The Forceful Sentry
1x Premature Burial
1x Graceful Charity

3x Drop Off
1x Call of the Haunted
1x Mirror Force
1x Ring of Destruction
1x Imperial Order
1x Judgment of Anubis (I'm this close to replacing it for a 3rd MST)

Well, that's my deck. Those of you who read my first tourney report know how I feel about
Jinzo. Well, ever since I took Jinzo out of my deck I've been doing better than ever. Airknight
is really useful in my metagame, as is Vampire Lord (Which by the way is my fav card)

Anyway, we had a slightly less than average turnout today. 

1st Round
Maverick Hunter ZERO vs. Mike Mills

This guy I think I faced before, and I remember he's not that good.

Duel 1
Life points: 6500-0
Victory: Maverick Hunter ZERO

Heheh. I played Conf and Drop Off early on. I managed to get out Gemini and Don quite fast,
but he drew change and killed my Don, so I took my revenge on him by summoning Airknight,
and he was crushed right there. He kept playing monsters in defense and I kept killing them.

Duel 2
Life points: 5100-0
Victory: Maverick Hunter ZERO

Drew Vampire Lord and Deliquent first hand and I weakened him a bit but he put up a struggle
for a while, but I managed to draw Raigeki and after that I hit him with Don a few times and then
Yata-Locked him.

The other guys who came along all lost first round and I had to face one of the
guys who beat one of them

2nd Round
Maverick Hunter ZERO vs. Charlie Ngwyen (I think that's how his name is spelled)

I've faced this guy before, and he holds the series in his favor 2-1

Duel 1
Life points: 3100-0
Victory: Maverick Hunter ZERO

He didn't draw too many monsters at first so I pummeled him with two Dons, but then I think
he drew a big monster (can't remember what) and slapped me around for a bit but eventually
I blew it up and got both Airknight and Vampire out on the field. It was game from there.

Duel 2
Life points: 700-0
Victory: Maverick Hunter ZERO

He got off to a good start. He attacked me a few times and then I finally got out Vampire
Lord but then he Ringed it. He draws and gets nothing and I get my Vampire Lord back and
summon Don. I attack with Vampire and destroy his face down Yata, and I attacked with
Don, getting rid of two cards in his deck. He drew and got nothing, I then got Airknight on the
field and reduced him to 200 life. He killed my Airknight and attacked me with Goblin Attack Force,
but I drew Monster reborn and killed him with Airknight. Good game.

Whew, I was afraid there for a while. Anyway, I relaxed for a bit, then I had to face Darren

3rd round
Maverick Hunter ZERO vs. Darren (Reflect Bounder guy)

Grrr.... I want that Reflect Bounder!

Duel 1
Life points: 4600-0
Victory: Maverick Hunter ZERO

I drew Conf, Forceful and Drop Off first turn along with Witch. I get rid of Graceful and Ring
I think. He draws, loses his card and attacks my face down witch. I get Breaker. I draw, Airknight,
I summon Breaker, destroy the face down card and attack his Don. He draws and puts 1 card face
down. I draw Raigeki and I blow up his Fiber Jar and summon Airknight and he drew Sinister, which
resulted in my victory.

Duel 2
Life points: 5100-0
Victory: Maverick Hunter ZERO

He managed to get off an early hit but I blew his hand away with Delinquent and Drop Off and got
out Airknight and used Raigeki. I drew Drop Off with Airknight. He goes, and loses his card, and plays
one face down. I draw Don, summon it, attack with Airknight, I hit his witch so he grabs Sinister and Don
sends it to the graveyard. I draw Drop Off with Airknight and use it on him. He plays Sinister face down and
I draw Monster reborn and tribute for Vampire Lord. Game.

Well, I had a while to wait for my next duel and what do you know, I face the guy who beat
me in the finals last week. 

Final Round
Maverick Hunter ZERO vs. Greg Nauth

I wanted revenge, and I was determined to have it!

Duel 1
Life points: 0-6000
Victory: Greg

Ouch, he change of hearted my Injection, then I summoned Don and attacked his face down Magician
and he got back Change. He drew, killed my Don, change of hearted IFL, sacked it for Jinzo, Prematured
Vampire and reborned something else and that killed me in one all out attack.

Duel 2
Life points:0-6300
Victory: Greg

ARRRGHH!!! TWO WEEKS IN A ROW THIS HAS HAPPENED!!! He Yata locked me so fast
I lost track of the duel. Humiliating

I opened my pack and got my 3rd Exile of the Wicked in a row. He got nothing. Hahaha...
Anyway...
