It basically gets and keeps my Amazons on the field, plus it gets them pumped up (over 3000 atk for
 Paladin isn't uncommon).  Put in 2 Drain after magic killed me in an earlier tourney today.  The only
thing it needs is another Dramatic Rescue and some better magic... I almost had Raigeki for $5 but
someone beat me to it.

We were doing team duals but then 2 more people showed, so we went to single elimination.

Round 1 vs. Llamar
Random noobie.  First match I got Ultimate offering out 2nd turn and filled the creatures, killing him
turn 4 thanks to a short-lived swords.  HE walked away before the owner and myself told him it was
2 ou of 3.  Got out Offering again around turn 5 and beat him down after goign through random starter
deck creatures and other noobie cards.

Round 2 vs. Eric
My ride and one of 2 people I constantly playtest against.  Anyway he runs a 'dragon/beatdown/noob'
deck.  First round he ended up Yata-locking me after his Jinzo stopped my defenses (he plays massive
Fissure and other removal).  Second and third were a blur, though the last I remember killing Yata and
beatin his ass down after a Raigeki Break killed a face-down card that wouldn't've mattered anyway.

Round 3 vs. Jay, the Finals!
Infamous player with a flawless Water deck, yet he still manages to throw in non-cookie cutter cards
like Reload and CED.  First time he got an Ocean out and overpowered my Amazons with Giga and
the like.  Second I got him to 5650 while he went through bad draws, but he came back in the end.
Thanks to him I got Premature Burial, though.  Prize was, because of the size of the tourney and
the pool consisting of $2 from everyone, enough for an IOC pack.  Traded my rare for CED, so all
in all it was a good day.

Notes:
-I would NEVER have gotten to the finals if it hadn't've been for the fact that a family consisting of dad
and 2 siblings were busy.  They SLAUGHTER everyone, the dad usually winning.  Exodia-guy with
a butterfly combo in there was absent as well.
-The changes were awesome, as PB rocks, though in the tourney after this I played in I lost to a
beatdown deck that was as close to a rogue deck as yu-gi-oh gets.
-Everyone in my region plays they're own way, even when they use archetype decks.  You should too!

Props go to Eric for driving me and the two guys I got my final 2 Fusins from, and the guy who gave me
a bent Gearfried (holo) for free, making my Gearfried count 3.  Butterfly combo 50% done!
