Round 1- Me vs. Some little kid (Beatdown deck?)
Duel 1- This kid's deck was OK, but I beat it with no problem
Duel 2- Same as before
Round 2- Bye
I got to sit around and do nothing ^_^
Meanwhile, Julius got knocked out in the first round to some random
guy named Patrick who ran a Warrior deck.
Round 3- Me vs. Max (Control)
Duel 1-Well, this duel was interesting. He used to run an all out
beatdown, and now he reverted to a control deck. He however did
not run some of the cards that were essencial to control decks such as
Mystic Tomato, and he ran Black Tyranno... Although one of the
hardest duels of the day, it ended in my favor.
Duel 2- This duel was MUCH closer. We were swapping each other damage.
Eventually he was down to 4000 and I was at something around 2000. I had a
Beserk Gorilla on the field. We were both top decking. I drew one card, and got
what I was looking for. I summoned a 2nd Beserk Gorilla and finished the
game.
Round 4- Me vs. Evan (Little kid deck)
Duel 1- I just obliterated him. No offence, but I don't know how he got to
the semi finals. I swept and took no damage. He set a card, I destroyed it. In
the end I had all my monster zones filled with beatsticks and he had nothing to
stop me ^_^
Duel 2- Same as before, only I didn't win quite as fast.
Round 5- Me vs. Josh (Beatdown)
Duel 1- The 2nd closest match of the day. He kept on summoning beatsticks,
and I kept on taking them out with my Beserk Gorillas. I eventually cleared the
field for a clean shot.
Duel 2- Wow, this one was close. We just both hit each other with our 1900
beatsticks, he used his Archfiend Soldiers as I used my Geminis and my Slate
Warriors. My angry gorillas finally hit the field and started to conquer all of
the beatsticks. I won the game.
The tourny was pretty good, except Julius being dueled out
the first round. For my prize I received 6 IOC packs, in which I pulled a
Freed the Brave Wanderer, a useless card that does nothing useful in my deck.
Well anyway, onto props and slops!
