Sorry for the odd way the deck list looks I pasted it out of Microsoft Excell. Now let's continue.

Ladies and Gentlemen I present my tournament report. I choose not to post my deck at this point because I only know of one or two Yugioh Players who will likely be reading this and if they want to know my deck all they have to do is ask.

Now for how the day began. I stayed up way to late last night. I was hanging around with Andrew till around 4:30am. I went to bed immediatly and slept till around 10:00. I got up and packed up my Yugioh stuff, and left at aroun 11:15.

Talk about perfect timing, they don't like us to get there until 11:30 and I arrived right at 11:30, and noticed not a lot of the usual players were there. I walked into the web, and took off my sunglasses. Bruce said I came in there all bowed up and then removed my sunglasses. Well this week I was more confident than i have been. I had my Gravekeeper's ready, and told Bruce, "I'm here to your whip your tail today." I was fairly confident I could too knowing that Beatodowns are extremly vulnerable to my Gravekeeper's style.

Round 1 Me vs Micheal Vick:

First duel i drew nothing but Spells. I used my Confiscation to eliminate his only 4 star or less creature, and set a card as a bluff. He had nothing and passed. I drew Gravekeeper's Spy, set it, and activated Terraforming, and then played my Necrovalley giving me a huge advantage. Micheal set one monster and ended. I drew Gravekeeper's Assailant, flipped my Spy and summoned Gravekeeper's spear by effect and Normaled my Assailant. I attacked his face down 1600 points of trample damage, but it was 4-star Lady bug, and I lost all my creatures. I set Rite of Spirit and ended. He drew and ended. I Drew Gravekeeper's Chief, triggered my Rite revived Spear and Saced it for Chief and then used Chief to bring back Spear. I attacked for 4400. Next turn he didn't draw anything and conceeded the duel. The next round was almost the same card for card.

Round 2 Me Vs Ash Arthur:

I play Ash almost on a weekly basis, and respect him as an opponent. This week I knew he was running an Exodia deck. First hand I drew Confiscation, and started debating. I knew this card was essential to defeating him. I debated and then payed 1000 lpts to trigger it. I looked at his hand, and there was Exodia's head. I made him drop that into his graveyard and triggered Necrovalley, making all cards in his graveyard useless. Then I beat him down with Gravekeeper's Spear's. Second round he had a better opening hand and was able to burn through his deck quickly, I was sure he had Several Exodia peices already. Finally I trigger Necrovalley, Flip Gravekeeper's Spy, Get Spear and attack his Spirit Reaper for trample damage. He did nothing next turn. I drew Assailant, attacked with it killing his spirit reaper, and then attacked for game.

Round 3 Me vs. Jack Burgess:

I played him last week when we played traditional, but if it had been advanced i would've won. The first round was won by him so quick that I couldn't react he won. Round 2 I dominated him. Round 3 I side decked for the first time all tournament. I side decked my Tribe, Jinzo, and Magic Drain. Thank the lord I did. First hand I triggered Necrovalley, Trampled with Spear into a Cyber Jar, and off of Cyber Jar I got two Gravekeeper's Spy's. I set Magic Drain and Majic Jammer. Next move he used Nobleman of Crossout, i responded with Majic Jammer, and he used another Nobleman, and I Majic Drained. Had I let that go off i would've lost. He took one of my Spies, and flipped it preventing my search, and then I got it back. I drew Chief, flipped my other Spy, and got Spear, Saced one Spy for Chief, and then revived another with Spy my Chief's ablilty. I then trampled two Peten's and a Fiber jar (which couldn't go of thanks to Necrovalley). Next he drew and set his whole hand. I knew one had to be a trap. I drew, saced my chief my for newly drawn Jinzo (side decks are awesome). That was game.

Round 4: Me vs Richard Burgess

Jack's brother who had just beat Bruce (whose maybe one of the top 5 players we have.) I had never gone into the 4th round undefeated before. I was a little weary, but fairly confident because I knew he had a Zombie deck, and once i get Necrovalley, Zombie decks are no match for me. So on my opening hand, all spells and no Necrovalley. (crap) he summoned a Pyramid turtle and set a s/t and ended. I played Snatch Steal, took his Pyramid, summoned Gravekeeper's Spear and attacked, and he waboku'ed. He drew, gained 1000 points from Snatch Steal, set a creature and ended. I drew, played Confiscation, and removed his Creature Swap, the attacked into a spirit reaper, trampled, and ended. He gained another 1000 and ended. I finally drew it, Necrovalley, played it, and attacked with Spear Soldier, he used Draining shield and gained 2000 points. After my trample he was at over 10000 points. Things weren't looking good, when summoned Pyramid turtle, MSTed my Necrovalley, and sucided into the other pyramid turtle getting two searches, Ryu Kokki and Partician of Darkness, attacked my spear and did 2900 damage, and I didn't have the atk force to do anything. I top decked Magical Scientist. Off my earlier confiscation I knew he had a Vampire Lord in his hand. I played Scientist and used him to summon Thousand Eyes, Sucked up Kokki and attacked Partrician. End phase i lost my Thousand Eyes. He set a creature. Not wanting to face a V-Lord I continued sucking up stuff using Mag. Sci/Thousand Eyes. Finally he had no creatures, I summoned Spear with only 600 lpts left, and I triggered Necrovalley. Next turn he set a creature. I set Gravekeeper's Spy, and trampled into a Spirit Reaper. (I despise that card.) He draws and ends. I Draw, Flip Spy, special summon Assailant by Spy, Sac Spy for Chief, and revive another Spear. Attack with Assailant, targeting it with Assailant ability, killing it triggering a replay and I attack for 9100. I end. he draws and conceeds. The second round I side decked 3 King Tiger Wanghu's, and a Tribe. Early in the match the King Tiger's kept him from summoning Pyramid Turtles. But i made a critical error by summoning two of them. He was able to Snatch Steal and Suicide them into each other. I still had my Spear out, and he set a monster. I drew, and summoned Another Spear. I attacked and he used Draining Shield. Then I trampled into a Spirit Reaper. He draws and sets a s/t. I draw and summon Assailant, and he tiggered Torrential Tribute. I lost all my creatures, and he lost only a Spirit Reaper. i ended. He drew and set a card. I assumed it was a Pyramid Turtle, and I top deck Morphing Jar. It was my only hope so I set it. I had no cards in my hand. He flipped Pyramid Turtle and attacked my face down morphing jar. I got 5 more cards, and he had lost two of his pyramid turtles. He had 5 cards as well, and Saced turtle for V-Lord and ended. I was staring V-Lord in the face and had 5 cards. I played Confiscation and looked at his hand, and killed Creature Swap again. Then I summoned Assailant, and attacked V-Lord changing to Defense and killing it. He drew and ended. I drew Rite of Spirit, Set it and attacked. He drew and set a monster. I triggered Rite and revived Spear, then saced Assailant for Chief and Revived another Spear and attacked, but he Wabokued. I flipped the Spirit Reaper. Next turn he saced Reaper for Kokki, and killed my assailant. I drew Tribe summoned it and Dropped Terraforming to kill all Zombie's and attacked with all my creatures for game.

The first time i ever went undefeated in the first 4 rounds. So time for the finals.

Final: Me vs Bruce

This Duel was fast and furious. It was over almost as fast as it began. I trampled him to death in about 5 turns. Bruce was a little upset. Next round he came at me hard, but again is was fast, and I won.

Finals 2: Me vs Jack Burgess again.

Rematch! First round, it was a quick kill on his part. I went down hard and fast. Round 2 Reversed and I won almost as quickly. Right before round 3, seeing as I didn't need any cards, we decided to split the winnings of first and second. I didn't care at this point, and I was feeling a little sick from not eating. I made a critical error because of it. my first hand I had both Necrovalley and Terraforming. I triggered Valley, and set Terraforming as a bluff and Summoned Assailant. He then used Heavy storm, and I lost both, and when Terraforming was gone so were my chances of winning. Game went to Jack, but I had a great time.

Coming in second was great. I loved it. We split the winnings and I didn't pull anything from the packs. Oh well like i said I don't really need any cards. Today was great, and I love playing Yugioh. Today was the best Yugioh day I've had in months. I see some changes that need to be made to my deck and I'll make them.
