*42 cards*

I remade my Fiend better than ever, and after playtesting it, decided to use
it instead of my remade Beast deck.  Anyway, you know the drill.

**Round 1 vs. Jeff**
Jeff runs a non-themed deck with some tricks.  He's usually a good source of
trades too.

-Match 1
Painful in opening hand!  Picked my usual 3 Fiends, Sinister, and Jinzo.  He
chose Jinzo to go into my hand.  Prematured Sangan, sacked it for Jinzo, got
a Kuriboh.  He didn't get any good monster draws so that was pretty much game.

-Match 2
Ended up in him winning when I snatched and Changed of Hearted his Nimbles,
then Ringed a Nimble on his turn when I was at 600 :\

-Match 3
Stormed his m/t's and Raigeki'd his face down Nimble, Painfulled my usual.
Forgot what he did on his turn, but I CotH a Jinzo.  Played Orc, Raigeki'd his
side and shot for 4600.  He played a face down but I Change of Hearted it on
my turn.

Record: 2-1

**Round 2 vs. Mike**
Runs another non-themed deck, though this one's alot more coherent.  Got my
2nd CotH from him after this round.

-Match 1
No Painful in hand, plus it was pretty crappy.  Anyway he won because he got
all of his equips when I had nothing to deal with them.

-Match 2
Drew into an okay hand, ended up getting like 10 cards in my grave first turn
thanks to Painful, Graceful, and like 3 magics.  Ended up dealing with his
equips and coulda tied with Ring, but I continued because I didn't want to
still be down a match.  Ended up winning with Slate after I got him
topdecking.

-Match 3
Don't remember this one but I won it because I got him topdecking again.

Record: 4-2

**Semis vs. April**
I've yet to beat her in a round.  She plays a beatdown with 3 GK Spy to stop
attacks from 1900's.  She's the eldest daughter (like 14 though shes REALLY
immature) in a family that plays every week.

-Match 1
Her freagin Spies stopped Slate, Change of Hearted for the win.  It was rather
close though.

-Match 2
She got out Cyber, I Ringed beforehand though I prolly shoulda kept it.  Got
us both down to around 2600 but she pulled 3 monsters while I pulled Sangan.
Shortly after, I had no hadn and she had 5 in hand, so it was game anyway.

Record: 4-4

Pros:
-Me getting my Fiend deck back in working order
-Getting my 2nd CotH, making my Fiend and Beast decks two separately complete
decks
-Selling DMoC for $10 and learning that the same store that bought that buys
Shinatos for $6 (I heard about it but I haven't seen it), Dark Magician Girls
for like $14, and CED's for $27 (price em at $65, though no one's bought any).

Cons:
-Eric for remembering I owed him $1
-Home Field for horrible, horrible prices ($65 for CED, $35 for Mirror Force,
etc etc)
-Not selling my cards as well as I did on Saturday
-There being nothing to do in this town past 6 on Sundays
