Today started out like most others, get up, eat breakfast (if anything is available), workout, then head over to the card shop. But today had some special or unusual things in store for me. The store owners announced that today would be a budget tournament, which meant that there would be a $2 entry fee. When you enter, you usually get a pack for entering the tournament, but today's entry pack was a soda. Being the healthnut that I am, I got diet mountain dew, not bad if you ask me. My deck of choice today was my mate's Marik deck, basically burn with a side of "annoy the bajesus out of whoever faces me" deck. I swear to you all, this deck has only lost 1 time, but it hasn't happened since that. It's a deck of torture and burning until my opponent submits in utter annoyance to the point of snapping, or I just simply burn em to death. Today was gonna be a competition since a lot of the other players, whom I absolutely HATE to the core, were entering. For example, that one guy who I referred to him as mr. M, the nerd who only says one-liners from movies, and there are more people to name but I only have so much space to type here lol, turns out I hate a lot of players down here.

When the tournament started, my first opponent was the one-liner douche bag. Unlike my other times playing this deck, I decided to play with this guy's mind a while since he annoys the hell out of just about everyone at the shop. He was playing a Gadget-Machina deck, which after seeing the oodles of decks that had this same theme, I knew everything he was going to do. He would have been better off just wearing a sign on his forehead what he was going to play next. I dragged out that match as long as I could. Every move he made had a penalty attached, if he attacked with his machina fortress I used nightmare wheel, if he had a field full of monsters I would use lava golem, everything had a price to pay whenever he did anything. Throughout the games he was constantly cursing at whatever happened to burn his life points bit by bit by bit until they hit 0. In the second game, I let him do some direct attacks to me to the point where if he attacked just one more time, Id be dead. The first thing was tribute his machina fortress and gadget for lava golem and his other machina fortress and another gadget for another lava golem. I was at 2000 life at that point but when it was his turn and attacked with both golems, draining shield times 2 baby!!! I was back at full life and his was going down quickly. When his life was depleted, he asked me "why didn't you do that instead of taking all that damage?! You had all the cards you needed!" I replied with, "because I wanted you to feel like you were about to win right before everything came crashing down around you." I immediately noticed that his eyes were welling up with tears when he said, "why would you want to toy with someone like that you sick bastard?!" I said, "first of all, it is ONLY A GAME!! Second, because you have annoyed me and the other good people who come here to relax and unwind after a long week. Now you can move out of my way or be moved." I cannot tell you all how good that felt to see his pathetic self stagger away just on the verge of bursting into tears. I went on to beat one of the judges and an employee of the store. After him was a blackwing user, then an X saber user. The deck that no one expected to get past the first round won me first place in the tournament. Again, I just have to extend my thanks to my dear mate and love of my life  sevlowtyak for giving me this deck and teaching me all I know about this game. Thank you baby. ^^ Now Im headin for bed, gnite. :D
