Round 1: Me vs. Some kid with a 60+ card deck

 

1^st Duel—Mermaid Knight + A Legendary Ocean + 2 Nightmare Penguins=2100 Attacker who attacks twice…in other words short duel.

2^nd Duel—Not quite as quick, but I won just the same.

 

Round 2: Me vs. A kid who kept boasting about his full Destiny Board set.

 

1^st Duel—I won this one without him even summoning a monster.

2^nd Duel—He draws his cards and says “You’re dead in 5 turns,” and then proceeds to play Destiny Board face-up!  I correct his mistake and I manage to deplete his life points shortly after the third letter hits play.

 

Round 3: Me vs. Very small kid

1^st Duel—Levia Dragon, and Gagagigo dispatched him very quickly.

2^nd Duel—He plays a friggin Skill drain, now I have useless Bugroths and Mermaids.  Even Levia Dragon was unable to attack thanks to my Gravity Bind (I usually use his effect so he can clear the field and attack).  After a long and trying duel, I drew an MST, destroyed Skill Drain and used Levia’s effect and attacked for the win…phew!

 

Semifinals: Me vs. Warrior Control

1^st Duel—Bad draws for him + Good draws for me = short duel.

2^nd Duel—Same as above. J

 

Finals: Me vs. Ocean Deck (Agh…Mirror Match)

1^st Duel—I had overall better monsters so he was beaten shortly.

2^nd Duel—I had a few bad draws, but Cyber Jar turned this duel around.  I finished him in one turn with two Bugroths, two Penguins, and a Gagagigo.
