Bad mistake #1. Secondly, it was snowing heavily by the time my brother and i left, which was around 11:20. See what i mean? I am supposed to leave at around 10:40, not 11:20. My brother had to "shave" and take a shower. Anywho, i got there really late, about 5 minutes before the tournament actually started and it was off! Heres my deck.. Monsters:18 2x Despair from the dark 2x Ryu Kokki Vampire Lord 2x Regenerating Mummy 3x Pyramid Turtle 3x Spirit Reaper Tribe Infecting-virus Breaker the magical warrior Fiber Jar Sinister Serpent Magical Scientist Magics(i will never call them spells, that's so stupid):15 3x Book of life 2x Call of the mummy Space Typhoon Painful choice Pot of greed Snatch Steal Change of heart Swords of revealing light Heavy Storm Noblemen of crossout Premature burial Scapegoat Traps:7 2x Wobaku 2x Raigeki Break Call of the huanted Ring of destruction Torrential Tribute So the tourny was swiss as always and the first round i was paired with my friend. First Round: Zombies vs. Brian-Beasts (from flaming eternity) first Match: This duel was...i don't know, it was ok i guess. We kept going back and forth bu teventually i pulled out in the lead and one this one: Second Match: This one went in his favor becuase of his trampling effect thanks to enraged battle ox. Third Match: This one went on for a good while. He kept using manticore's ability to tribute a monster on the field to special summon him, and he had goats on the field. Which i couldn't destroy becuase i didn't have a strong enough monster. Eventually it was him at 200 and me at 700, i don't exactly how i won but i know it was very very very very close. If i hadn't top decked what i did i would have lossed(i still can't remember what i drew? Maybe my friend will know). At any rate, that was the most exilerating duel i have ever had in my entire life, and thats saying some thing becuase i'v had very close duels before but they weren't as clsoe as this one. Intermission: Trading! Thats it... Round 2: Zombies vs. Ira-Zombies (i was scared soo much because this guy was amazing. I almost shit myself when i heard i had to duel him. I was disapointed becuase there was like 5 people at the tourny running zombies. I guess i brought it back. First Match: This one went back and forth as we used our resources to special summon our monsters from, the graveyard, i think he won this match. Second Match: Again it was the same thing here, but this time i losed. Third Match: (do you see a pattern here?) I was defeated here without much resistance. Intermission: Trading again! Thats it... Third Round-Zombies vs. Dean(real name is adam but whatever(big giant scary and harry monster swarm that uses scary and big giant monsters. That are harry...) First Match: We went back and forth with my my Ryu Kokki's coming in handy with defeating a lost of his big giant harry scary monster by only 100. I won this one. Second Match: This one didn't go so good, i was defeated relatively easy. Third Match: This one was so close. Near the end of the game he busted out a dark magician of choas that i just could get rid of, but he couldn't get rid of my monsters becuase i had a Ryu Kokki and a spirit reaper on the field. Eventually i kamikazed my ryu kokki to get rid of that stupid dmoc which brought my down to 100 lp. Then he snatch stole one of my monsters (a little later) which broguht my life down to 1100 and tributed it or something. but to get to the point, i was able to get rid of his field, use premature burial(which thanks to snatch steal gave me the win) special summoning despair from the dark and doing some other special summoning and wiping him out. That little match went on for a long time, we were the last people dueling so everyone came up to watch and i started to get nervous but i did it. And he was one those guys that i nearly shit myself when i have to play agains't. Ira and dean are the only people i do that when i have to duel them. Brian is a good duelis Intermission: Same as the last one! again... Round 4: Zombies vs. cj(bls warrior deck)(i just wish someone would seriously burn his deck so he would have to make a new one becuase that deck has beaten my three times in a row in the last 3 tournys i'v been too, all 3 times preventing me from getting 1st. May god strike you down!!! First match: This one went in his favor after he got through my spirit reapers and such. Second Match: This one was the exact opposite in the fact that i won this one. But not easily. Third macth: One card saved him, only one card, bottemless trap hole, if he didn't have that then i would have gone through his only monster and then defeated him by the second direct attack with my despair from the dark. I lost again... I came in 6th out of 8th while he got 5th out of 8. But the tourny all around was great becuase i collected almost all the cards i needed for my beast deck, i just need like only 2 wild nature's release to complete it. I have poisin fangs in it's place right now. I was there along with some other people waiting for their parent's to pick them out(it was still snowing a lot.) so ira(the guy that narowly beat me,i'm not saying he's bad, i just could have beat him if i had a couple of other cards) traded in a complete set of exodia, necross, and a bunch if other cards to recieve almost 2 boxes of the new set, flaming eternity just to get one card: an ultamite rare gearfried the sword master, well he did in the second box. So i thought i should take my hand at it and trade some cards for some packs so i did, for 6 packs and by the 4th pack, i got an ultamite rare gearfried the swordmaster which i then traded it in along with my third rock monarch(i only need 2) for 7 more packs. i got a Props: Getting a blast magician, gatling dragon, lightning vortex, 2 super rare behemoth, one ultamite rare behemoth, 2 granmarg, the rock monarch, a second tyrant dragon, a horn of heaven, and 13 packs without spending a penny. Me getting almost all the cards i needed for my beast deck My friend winning the tourny and not cj Slops: Me not coming any better in ranking Nothing else So that was my tournament report.
