<span style="font-weight:400">And now, to the third and final duel in the match between Maiko and Damian.
<span style="font-weight:400">Since Maiko lost the second duel, she got to pick which one goes first, and she wanted to go first.
<span style="font-weight:400">Maiko drew a card, and during her standby, her deck master gained a level. She then normal summoned Fortune Lady Fire, activated Future Visions, set a spell/trap face down and ended her turn.

<span style="font-weight:400">Damian’s turn, and after drawing, during his standby phase, Fortune Ladies gained levels.
<span style="font-weight:400">Damian used his deck master to search for an Elemental HERO Bubbleman, which he then summoned. And since Bubbleman was summoned to an empty field, Damian got to draw two cards. Sure Bubbleman was also banished by Future Visions, but drawing cards is still nice.

<span style="font-weight:400">Damian then discarded King of the Swamp so he could add Polymerization from his deck to his hand. He then used Reinforcement of the Army to add Elemental HERO Avian to his hand.

<span style="font-weight:400">Maiko won and she will be going to the finals to duel Indigo.
<hr>
<span style="font-weight:400">The finals, and the match against me, were going to take ce tomorrow, so the rest of the day was spent having fun and enjoying ourselves.
<span style="font-weight:400">I ended up having a few duels. Just single duels, no matches. For these duels, I used a Arcana Force deck. No, it isn’t the deck I’ll be using for the ‘creator match’, I have a custom one, with a custom deck master, for that. If you want to guess, I’ll give you a hint. It is a deck that a GX antagonist uses.
<span style="font-weight:400">But back to my duels. The first one to duel me was Nevelle, and she did defeat me. I then dueled Elias and beat him.
<span style="font-weight:400">After those two, a few otherpetitors asked for duels and I dueled them as well. I won 4 out of my 7 duels, which is fine enough. But with this deck I wouldn’t have won the tournament. Luckily I’m the host, not apetitor.
<span style="font-weight:400">As the evening wasing to an end, I had one more thing to show to everyone. That being a recording I took in the Factory, of myself having a riding duel against Janina. It was a semi-scripted show duel where I was running Junk-Stardust, aka. basically Yusei’s deck, while Janina used Resonator-Red Dragon Archfiend.
<span style="font-weight:400">I wanted to show it to thepetitors to advertise my next tournament, despite the fact that it will take a while until I’m ready to host it. But advertising in this world can be hard, and word of mouth is one of the best ways of doing it, so better to do it than not to.
