Introduction:

I really hadn’t planned on playing tournament today, but a few “just for fun” games with my friend inspired me to go ahead and sign up. My friend pulled the rug from underneath my feet and told me about two minutes before the tourney began that he forgot to sign up, which meant that it was me against the competition. My deck which is SUPPOSED to be based around cyber stein is incomplete, and I don’t even have a cyber stein =). Just for those of you who don’t know, these tournaments are of the elimination format and are best 2 of 3 games.

Match 1- Me vs. Noob kid named Jacob:

This is a off-topic, but I find it funny how I remembered this youngster’s name. I beat him with a D.D. Warrior Lady and a Mobius the Frost Monarch alone for one game, and Don Zaloog’d him like crazy the next game. He did use on rather interesting card that I have never seen before, Destiny Hero-Doom Lord. It has a neat effect that is worth considering for side deck use.

Match 2-Me vs. Old Friend Terrence

At this point I’m thinking, “Oh crap…” because Terrance is one of the most skilled players I know. First game is really in my favor. I have a counter for everything he does. Since he went first, I went ahead and searched out a MSLV2 to take out his facedown monster. He has no M/T removal for my Sakuretsu Armors and a Jinzo completely shuts him down, considering the fact that he is so used to seeing so many Monarchs and Jinzo a lot less. The next game, everything he plays, I counter. Breaker dies to my BTH; His traps go down to my dust tornado and MST. At one point in the game when he was near losing, he sighed, “You have everything”. I beat down my old friend and took the victory, as well as his cyber dragon =)

Match 3-Me vs. That hyper-active guy

I really don’t like this guy because he’s too hyper. First game, I go Don Zaloog crazy. Lucky for me, I was able to constantly get my search cards going so I won due to massive card advantage. I lost the second game after he side decked. I didn’t have any monsters and my traps were getting ripped apart. The third game was a tricky one. We were evenly matched, abusing Apprentice and Old Vindictive Magicians. I take the lead after a super fun combo. I Exile Force his monster and play a last will to get Don, and after that he looses lots of card advantage and I take the win.

FINALS-Me vs. Tin, the scrappy kid

Wow…I couldn’t believe I made finals with a very incomplete deck. Tin is my last opponent and we have a history of placing bets on games, but last time we did so, I won his Breaker off of him. First game, I have no hesitation in abusing smashing ground to get my Don and Spirit Reapers through to take an easy card advantage, but then he gets smart on me and pops a Morphing Jar which undoes my whole card advantage tactic. It didn’t matter though, because my field advantage was way better than his so I took an easy win. Second game was a different story. I start with a useless hand first of all. He gets early field advantage with GK spies and then swarms me with two Gould, Ruler of Dark World. I have no chance against all that so early in the game so I lost rather quickly. Third game, the boy obviously has no defenses because every one of his face down M/T was a bluff, and once I had my Don going he put his whole hand on his M/T zone and got heavy stormed the next turn. After all of this, he can’t comeback so I take the win and the tournament.
