Joey Chou sends some shootouts to his friends in Utah, Colorado, Wyoming and New Mexico! Jesus Suarez however sends a shoutout to his sponsors and just in general awesome people, Caesar Selinas, Javier Vasquez and TCS.
Game 1
Jesus will start things off with a handshake and drawing to 6 cards before playing Fire Formation – Tenki to search for Coach Soldier Wolfbark from his deck. He summons Brotherhood of the Fire Fist – Bear and sets Mystical Space Typhoon, Mind Crush and Fiendish Chain.
Joey Chou summons out Bujin Yamato before playing Pot of Duality into MST, Dark Hole and Upstart Goblin before deciding on taking Typhoon and setting 3 cards. Yamato activated its effect in the end phase and Jesus tried to stop it with Fiendish Chain, but was cut short by Joey's MST. Joey sent Bujingi Hare from his deck to the grave with his Bujin's effect.
Jesus draws Bear for his turn. He activates the onfield Bear, sending Tenki to the graveyard to target Yamato but was cut short by Joey’s fiendish chain. Jesus decided to summon another Bear into Joey's Torrential Tribute while Bujingi Hare is banished to save Joey's Yamato. Jesus set 1 more and passed his turn.
Joey draws for his turn before activating a set Pot of Duality, revealing Mystical Space Typhoon, Forbidden Lance and Bujin Mikazuchi before taking MST and playing Kaiser Colloseum. In the End Phase Yamato activated its effect, once again repeating the play with Jesus's Fiendish Chain falling to Joye's chained MST. Yamato sent Bujingi Turtle during the resolution of his effect.
Jesus summoned Wolfbark before he used MST on Kaiser. Wolfbark used his effect and revived a Bear to overlay into Brotherhood of the Fire Fist - Tiger King. Tiger King's effect sets Tenki to the field to search for another Woflbark. The King attacked over Yamato for 500 damage before ending his turn.

Jesus drew Gyokou and summoned Wolfbark to bring back Bear and make another Tiger King. Tiger King set his final Tenki and searched for his final Wolfbark. He sent Tiger to attack over Susanowo for 100 damage, but Hare left the game again so he could protect Susano for the duration of the battle.
Joey 7400, Jesus 7900
Joey draws for his turn before activating Susanowo’s effect to add Bujingi Crane to his hand. Susanowo charged in, running over Tiger King for 2300 damage with the assistance of his Bujingi. Jesus was unfortunately out of targets in his deck for Tiger Kings effect and could not summon any new monsters by sending the 3 Fire Formations!
Joey 7400, Jesus 5600
Jesus however began his next turn by summoning Wolfbark on to bring Bear back and overlay into Bujintei Kagutsuchi, milling Bottomless Trap Hole, Solemn Warning, his final Bear, Pot of Duality and Dimensional Prison. Kagutsuchi attacked into his brother Susanowo for 400 damage. Finally feeling like he is back in the game, Jesus sets 1 and ends his turn.

Joey summons Mikazuchi before attacking for game.
This just shows the absolute power that Bujincarnation brings to the table and the huge momentum swings the card can create. The consistency that Pot of Duality gave Bujins the match let him dig deeper into his deck and get the counters he needed to combat Jesus's Fiendish Chains.

Jesus draws before summoning Bear and overlaying Ursa Minor and Ursa Major into Brotherhood of the Fire Fist - Cardinal! When he detached the two materials Joey activated Effect Veiler to keep his monsters on the field and in the grave.
