Hey there Pojo.com! My name’s Jeff and this is the first time I ever posted anything. I figured that a tourney report would be as good as anything.
Anyways, I run a burn/Chaos Emperor Dragon/Gravity Bind stall deck (whew!). I call it my Stove Top Card Fry (what’s a deck without a cheesy name?). I play at Smiley’s in Uniontown, PA. So let me start rambling about the report.
The first thing I’ll do is list my deck for you all.

Oooookey dokey! In this tournament, there were 3 rounds of fierce action. My partner’s name was Ryan, who ran a beatdown deck that clashed horribly with my deck. He got Exodia (a good thing it later proved to be) before the tourney began, and I got Dark Room of Nightmare which I quickly added along with 2 D. D. Warrior Ladies instead of Wave-Motion Cannon and 2 Magician of Faiths. So here’s the lowdown.
Round 1
My Team vs. 2 peoples who didn’t have much experience and whose names I don’t know
The first duel wasn’t hard though it lasted much longer than it should have. One of my opponent’s also ran a Gravity Bind deck with a Bowganian or 2 and a bunch of level 4’s otherwise. I used a lot of Stealth Bird damage and Lava Golem did more than it’s share of work to the other opponent that didn’t lose from Cannon Soldier. We won the first duel.
The second duel went a little differently. My opponent’s knew that I was extremely vicious with heavy damage, so they went straight for me every time. A failed Dice Jar left me with only 2000 LP early in the duel, and they used Change of Heart on my Fiber Jar and attacked me for the kill (after a little damage from Bowganian first). My luck couldn’t have been worse at the moment. So thereafter, Ryan started picking up massive Exodia pieces. He used enough Waboku and Shadow Spell to live just long enough to draw all 5 pieces. Lucky him to make us both fortunate! On we went!
Round 2
My team vs. Danny and some other person
The first duel was the most rare and ridiculous situation ever. Even after Ryan’s deck was shuffled and cut twice, he drew all 5 pieces of Exodia in his first hand. That put us up one win for the match.
The next duel was actually easy and quite fast, and not to brag, but it was mostly due to me. I ended up flipping Cyber Jar and using my Ceasefire to hammer huge damage onto Player Left’s LP. Stealth Bird and Cannon Soldier did the rest of the damage to Player Left to beat him. I kept Imperial Order up the whole game because neither me or Ryan were too Spell intensive (unlike Danny who I know to use only 14 monsters). Also, both of my opponents were heavily prepared for attack which never came from me or Ryan because of our strategy and mostly due to Gravity Bind. Anyways, after Player Left was gone, it was only a matter of time until Danny couldn’t dance in the fire any more. We went on to the final round to fight the battle I came to the tourney for…
Round 3
My team vs. Jeremy and that other dude (man, I couldn’t remember a name for anything)
The first round was fast for a 2-on-2, and especially going up against the #1 league member (that’s Jeremy). My first hand contained both Raigeki and Harpie’s Feather Duster. I made sure I waited for Gravity Bind until after the blast so Ryan and his level 4 1900’s could hammer in giant damage to Jeremy because he’s way too dangerous to let go unharmed. I gave Jeremy a Lava Golem, and it slowly fried him in a few turns with a little help from my burn. After Jeremy died, Ryan used (and got lucky with) Barrel Dragon to kill Player Left’s monsters off one by one. It only took time before he couldn’t take anymore damage (not to mention he had no hand and almost no field).
The second round went at a very average pace until I drew Chaos Emperor Dragon and blasted away Jeremy (6000 was a killer number), which left me at 2750 LP. It’s too bad Player Left had the full 8000. Player Left attacked me directly for 1000 damage with Exiled Force, leaving me with 1750 LP. Ryan took care of that monster with simple beatdown tactics. Back to him again, and I drew Bowganian. He played Heavy Storm which was a complete waste (what could he do?). My turn was next. I drew Bowganian and attacked him directly for 1300. Back to Player Left, and he drew the most effective card possible – Monster Reborn. I felt like being sick at that moment, because I knew I was gonna die. Chaos Emperor Dragon blew through my Bowganian for 1700 damage, which miraculously left me with 50 LP! His freshly summoned Giant Soldier of Stone finished me off, and he made the fatal mistake of blasting the field for a whole 900 damage to Ryan. Back to Ryan, and he drew none other than Monster Reborn. The revived Chaos (3rd time!) ripped through Player Left like a hurricane, finishing off the rest of his LP. Victory at last. 1st place was ours. Each of us got 2 packs (me and Ryan), and both of us got crap.
