Notes

1) I will start by saying that while this deck has its strengths, it also has
 its weaknesses for example the one card that i dread is Kenitic Soldier
a monster with 1350 attack and 1800 defence and one heck of an effect
. Kenitic Soldiers effect is that when he battles with a warrior, increase
his attack and defence by a whoping 2000!!! which realy makes a
difference when they start mowing over the mataza's and the mystic
swordsmen LV2's.This deck is built around small warriors with good
 effects looking pretty under the blanket of back row defences, kenitic
 is a real problem, right? Well, in some cases it is better to wait off a
 kenetic until you pull a sakuretsu or something like that, but in other
 cases it is better to take damage by hitting him with D.D. Warrior Lady
 and getting him off the field than letting him stomp you, so just remember
 that sometimes it is worth it to take the damage then to let him bash all
of your monsters.

2) Now I know that once some of you read that kenitic soldier thing you
 just pressed the back button and started looking at other deck lists, but
 to the few that stayed you should be justly rewarded so i will skip straight
 to the good stuff, the purpose of this deck is to stay one step ahead of
 your opponent or if you want a more technical term, Field Control. For
 those of you that don't know what Field Control means, it means keeping
 monsters off of your opponents field (thus the sakuretsus   botomlesses,
 torrential, ect.) or using your opponents monsters against them
 (the change, the snatch, the controlers,ect.). Now add to the field control
 Warriors, some of the most brutal cards in the game, with the ability to
swarm the field,crawl under burn, and generally be pests and you have a
 deck envied by the Egyption God Cards themselves.

ROUND 1 - WIN
In the first round of the tournament I didn't know what to expect, I was
 dueling a person that I had never met before so I had to play cautiously
and now I wish that i hadn't because this guy had abosolutly NO back
 row defence, now before today i personaly had never seen a dark palidin
 touch the field so when i say him drop polimerization, dark magician,
 and busterblader from his hand on the second turn, i almost had a heart
 attack lucky for me he didnt have any other monster on the field or I
 mght have lost luckly i had my big shield guardna on the field because
 I felt dark palidens wrath. after he blew away my big shield he set two
 spell cards and let it be my turn, now when i drew my card i felt a rush
 of relife as my good friend Black Luster Soldier reared his head with a
 painfull choice, a D.D. Warrior lady, a Heavy Storm, mataza the zapper,
 a blade knite, and my B.L.S. I made quick work of my opponent.

Now knowing that my opponent had no back row defence I made quick
 work of him with my D.D.'s and my blade knights.

Round 2 - lose
This round I didn't stand much of a chance, I was dueling the #1 duelest
 in Oklahoma, Dustin Sides who im proud to say got pounded the first
 duel, side decked in kenitic soldier and demolished me in the next two
 duels

Round 3 - win
the third round was agenst my good friend Braden Easley who wuns beat
down who gave up when he knew he was dueling me, because he has
never beaten me in his life.

Round 4 - win
my next match was agenst John Byron who has at one point in time run
every cheap deck in the book, first turn kill, last turn, in type 1 he ran a
 yata garasu deck so I wasnt suprised when he fliped summoner of
 illusions and sacrificed off a scapegoat to special summon master of ozz,
 a nasty fusion who punches like a brick wall, metamorphosised it to
summon another master of ozz, and blew the heck our of my big shield
 guardna just to have painfull choice pull BLS out of my deck, warrior
 returning alive used, BLS summoned and master of ozz snatch stolen
and I attacked for game

TOP 8 - Round 1 lose
Now most of you will have a disapointed look on your face but I dueled
 Dustin Sides again, strangly enough he still had kenitic in his deck so he
 stomped me with them ending my role in the tournament and thus ending
 this interesting documentery of the tournamert
