I had only like 1 tournament report to run on that was from the same collectables store that I go to: “Untouchables”, and it was from last year (yes, that was very helpful -_-). Anyways, I went to the store real late. It was going to start at like 2 but I was all “meh”-like. Anyways, when I signed up I saw that there were around 20 more people in the tournament. I went downstairs to where the tournament was. The room was okay. Full of Yugioh and Magic:TG posters advertising posters. The rickety broken lawn chairs gave me a bit of unease and totally ruined the whole dueling persona of the room. Made me feel like I was a lawn gnome o.o;. Anyways, I stood around waiting and watching others dueling. When the dude who was running the tourney arrived, he posted up the who was facing who. I ran up to the sheet and found out who I was going to face: Round 1 Sabid VS. Jordan Duel 1: Okay this guy used mostly a Stall/beatdown deck. He had cards like swarm of locusts and scarabs card, and negaters he used like wobaku, and life gainers like poison of the old man to stall me. We both played Graceful Charity on our turns. I luckily drew my Gemini elf. He placed a monster in defense. I played another elf and attacked. Took his scarabs with my creature swap. Used it destroy the sinister serpent I gave him. Attacked again. He put a monster in defense mode. I summoned a harpy brother, and attacked. Then, a Gemini quadruplets attack (my 2 Gemini elves cards) gave me the win. Duel 1: This duel as like the last duel. Harpy brother attacks, man-eater destroys. But Jordan managed to take life points off me. I had like 3200 when he had around 4800. That’s when I drew my megamorph. I tributed my face up magician of faith for a summoned skull in my hand, and put a megamorph on him. It made my summoned skull just strong enough to take him out. GAME OVER. Sorry people, I had to do that. Okay, now what really pissed me off were those duels were only 15 minutes long. I had to wait another 15 minutes watching others duel, and looking for trades. Shortly after the second round started. Round 1 Sabid VS. John Duel 1: John’s deck was mostly a regular beatdown, but he beat me so fast it was hard to realize it. He kept using the ‘repeated penguin soldier’ combo, where you put your penguin soldier back in your hand (“Put thy card back in thy hand”…sorry, I had to do that; something my friends and I made up….). Even after I monster reborned his monsters he kept returning them back to his hand. He summoned a Guardian Sphinx and kept attacking me directly. So the most I could do was hide in defense but before I knew it, didn’t draw anymore monsters and I lost the first duel. Duel 2: I’ll just say this much. I lost. I was losing, thanks to his noblemen cards. Also, I didn’t draw any monsters yet again. Once I got a bottomless trap hole and trap hole for backup. I watched him tribute two of his monsters in glee. But, hat e tributed for was… Jinzo. My traps were useless. Eventually, he dove in for a direct attack and I lost. GAME OVER After this duel I stood around moping. There was still about another 15 minutes before the next round started. The experts dueled real fast, I couldn’t see their hands moving… It was going to be a while before their duel finished. Everything was negated or destroyed, and their decks were obviously good. It was only their first duel. After getting bored of watching negate after negate after negate, I walked over to some little kids duel. One of them had a dad who had a lot of awesome cards. The other kid had a deck full of 2000 DEF monsters. He was Jordan’s little brother. His deck was very annoying. I watched the other kid try as hard as he could, but all his monsters were eventually destroyed, once Jordan’s brother placed couple of equips onto some 1800 monster. I heard the kids call his deck “The Great Wall”. Round 3 Sabid VS. Brendon Duel 1: Brendon had a beatdown deck, and his moves were mostly what I got. I kept trying to destroy his monsters, but he kept using stuff like “imperial order”, and other cards that really began pissing me off. -_- ; He won the duel by attacking twice with Hyabusa for two turns and using some stuff like Harpy’s brother. Duel 2: My first hand was suh-weet, well for me. I got a negate attack, a Gemini elf’, mystical space typhoon or something like that, and some other stuff, I think a man-eater bug. Anyway, I was hoping that I would win the duel, but he killed off my hand with a forceful sentry. He destroyed my monsters and I didn’t draw any good monsters. He used his own monster destroyers, like Nobleman of...was it extermination or crossout? I forget. Meh. Anyways the important thing is that I lost. GAME OVER I mainly traded people during this slow 15 minutes. I got a “Barrel behind the door” from Jordan’s friend, a “Premature Burial, and a “Mirror Force” from Jordan. The only card I lost from my deck was “Mask of the Accursed”. Now I was ready for Round 4, the final round. Once the employee guy of Untouchables came I looked at the sheet. I was going to face Conner. Round 1 Sabid VS. Conner Duel 1: Conner was Jordan’s little brother. The guy with the “Great Wall” deck. He began the duel as usual, building up his defense monsters. I used some 1800’s and a Gemini elf to get ready for the attack. In a couple turns I flipped a man-eater and destroyed his man-eater but he made up some rule about how his man-eater wood get flipped in the process. I just went along with what he said to be nice. He was a kid. Happy, Conner said “ Heh. I’m building up my wall”, and “brick by brick” I thought. Once I used my tribute of the doomed, tributed, and equipped, I managed to take down his wall. Duel 2: This is when Conner’s wall began getting on my nerves. After we both began playing defense monsters he managed to get some 1800 ATK monster and attached a malevolent nuzzler and a Black Pendant. He fell into my offerings to the doomed. After that I summoned a monster, attacked, and he killed it with a Giant soldier of stone, the nuzzler he got back, and a sword of deep seated. I got rid of it with my cyber jar, which luckily gave me an upper hand and I won. GAME OVER By the end of the tournament I learned you receive a point if you win a duel and a bonus point when you win two duels in a row. This meant that I only got six points in all, from a possible 12. This is because I won half my matches. I went back upstairs to the store and waited for the results to come in. I saw the paper posted on the door. I got in 16th place out of the 30 people who entered. Not bad, I guess for my second tournament. But, I'll do better next time.
