Yes, this is almost exactly my list from Wunstorf. 

I tested it at my locals and went 7:0 with it, so there was nothing to complain about.


=================================================================
The Journey:
=================================================================

Waking up at 6 am, we all took a shower, ate breakfast and started of at 8:30.
When we arrived at the freeway to kassel, we saw that it was blocked because of ice -.-
Andread already wanted to tun around and go home, but Marvin annoyed him until he decided to take another route.
We arrived in gießen just in time to reagister for the first round.

====================================================================
Round 1:
vs. John-Micheal Papagni (Zombiesworn) (2-1) ====================================================================


Facing Team members in the first round! Perfect.....not =(
I lost the first game because of a missplay. He had 800 life left, I had 1500 and a Catastor and Android on my side of the field, he only had 1 face-down monster, but didn't paly his JDs yet.
I wanted to win this turn,and played Goblin Zombie from my hand to deal the last bit of damage if he had a Ryko.
Stupid as I am, I attack with Goblin Zombie first....right into Necro Gardna. He topdecks JD, and attacked my GoZo for game.

In the second and third game, I was able to biuld up constant control thanks to LIMs and Caius.


====================================================================
Round 2:
vs. Andreas Middendorf (Eatos) (0-2)
====================================================================

EPIC FAIL!
One teammate after another. He just smashed me, I didn't stand a chance in those 2 games.


====================================================================
Round 3:
vs. Raul Wenghe (Twilight) (2-1) ====================================================================

Why do I only have to face friends of mine? <,<


I angainst lost the first game, I don't realy remember why, but Kycoo and a gamebreaking D.D. Crow (stopping Lumina for Ehren when I had GoZo face-down)  helped me to win the other games.

====================================================================
Round 4:
vs. Nikals Gottwals (Eatos) (2-0)
====================================================================

This guy got smashed by me as I was smahed by Andread in the 2. round.

In the first game, he opend with DCK and 2 face downs. I had Brain,MST and Caius to clear his field. He went on b setting 2 more face down cards.  Next turn, i played my Heavy Storm. That decided the outcome of the first game.


The second one was even more devastating. He opened with 3 face downs and I again had Storm xD


He was quite pissed of me after that round =)


====================================================================

Round 5:
vs. Christoph Steyh (Simochi) (2-0)
====================================================================


Whe he flipped his Simochi, I just thought "What the fuck" ,as he burned me down to about 2000 life in less then a second. 
Fortunately, I was able to keep control of the game from there on.


In the second game, I smacked his hand with Spirit Reaper xD


====================================================================
Round 6:
vs. Pascal Justen (Lucksworn) (1-2) ====================================================================

Off course I got to play someone who's 3-2 while I was 4 -1..... 
This guy was lucky like hell.
I don't realy remeber the first game, just that he had everything he needed.


The second game was strange. He opened with 1 Brigade and 3 Solar, but didn't magnage to kill me.
He also topdecked Storm for BTH and LIM, so his JD could clear the field. I topdecked Burial there, so I could summon Kycoo and run over his JD with Colossal. He was able to counter, and my next topdeck was another LIM.


I don't remeber the third game, I just know it was depressing and that I thought I wouldn't top beccause I lost to him.


Result:


I topped, he didn't xD


====================================================================
Top 16:
vs. Carmelo Butigcieri (Lightsworn) (0-2) ====================================================================

We knew each other from several former tournaments, so the atmosphere of this duel was quite relaxed.
I don't remember the first game, but I know he killed me with double JD in the second game.
I also made a mistake here, as I forgot to bring back SDD in his Endphase -.- 


====================================================================
Conclusion:


====================================================================

•  Blocked freeways are shit
• Faceing three freind in a row is shit
• Lightsworn needs no skill

Shoutout to all UPG Members and friends who topped ;)
See you again in a more skilly format without Lightsworn ;)
