This tournament was held in Single Elimination Style.

First Match: Vs. New Kid

I'd never seen this kid before that day, but from looking in his binder beforehand, I was ready for a HARD match. This kid had every card you could think of, except of course the newest expansion of Cybernetic Revolution. He

had Horus 4-8, all the warriors for a warrior deck, all the XYZ pieces, heck

he even had the Creator, all cards that I wouldn't mind adding to my collection. Anyways, back to the duel: We loaded our decks and began, I quickly found out he was running a deck of "his favorite cards." So while i was prepared for wave after wave of awesome monsters, instead I was shown his favorites. Alas, his favorites where still plenty good. In the end he was beaten due to a deadly combination of a Reflect Bounder bounce-back and a direct Cyber Dragon barrage.

Second Match: Vs. Earth Guy

I'd seen these guy before, and i knew he ran a pretty good Earth Deck, so this duel i had to be wary of 2000+ Beatsticks of the Earth Attribute, basically the Aggro deck. I won both duels in the end, however he played tremendously well getting me down to 300 in our first duel and 1800 in our second duel. He was ultimatly defeated when a Cyber Jar was in my favor in out first duel. The second duel was won due to a Mighty beefed up Machanicalchaser and X-Head Cannon.

Third Match: Semi-Finals: Vs. Last-Weeks Winner

Oh...Snap. i had to play the winner of last week. ;_; This guy ran basically

the regular metagame deck. Airknights, DDs, Phoenix, you name it he used it.

All I know really is he wasn't getting too good of hands, apparently the heart of the cards weren't with him. :-P However, they were with me. I got to draw 4 cards in a row from my Dekoichis as I flipped them, and booked them back down only to have them get attacked. The four cards i drew were "giant trunade, smashing ground, Limiter Removal, and premature burial" so I

brought back my Jinzo, used trunade, got back my Premature, used it for Cyber Dragon, smashed his Phoenix, then limitered for the win.

Fourth: Finals: Vs. Kevin

Oh Snapz again! It was time to face Kevin. He doesn't get to come too often,

however he is probably one of the best players there. He comes about once every three tourneys or so. Anyways, THIS was THE deck. EVERYTHING you can imagine is in it. We swapped literally blow for blow. It was a spectacular match. About 4-5 times I gave up card advantage only to hear groans from the

people watching, only to follow up immediatly with something that made the dissadvantages worth it! I must say it ws inspirational on my part to not have to listen to people and there "hand advantage/field advantage is EVERYTHING" junk, cuz half the time i gave those up or lost more then he did

only to hurt him bady with it. I don't re-call how the first duel ended, however I do re-call the second duels ending. I had just flipped a cyber jar, Kevin got 3 good monsters and i got an X-Head Cannon. i sacrafice X for

Jinzo and say I'm attacking his Tribe Infecting Virus. He goes to place it in his graveyard and i say "hold up, I have chains still" So then I throw down not one...not two...but THREE limiter removals from my hand. Jinzo was powered up to 19200 nd OBLITERATED his tribe Infecting Virus winning me the match. THAT was a great match.

Props:
-Winning First Place.
-Not losing a SINGLE duel all night.
-Getting a Second Cyber Dragon. (I replaced Blowback with it after the tourney was over) -Getting a Cyber Twin Dragon.
-Pulling a Spear Dragon from my TP pack.
-Getting a Brain Control for my friend.

Slops:
-Not getting Cyber and Cyber Twin before the tourney started, they would've made things easier.
