Okay so for my brothers birthday I took him to my local yugioh card shop for the first time, Past Present Future in West Palm Beach FL. I had a shit load of store credit saved, almost $600 and got him all sorts of stuff, Boosters, Starter decks, Tins, Sleeves, a Binder and a couple cheap comic books. I was participating in the local tournament being held and my brother was just hanging out opening his cards, trading and playing casual games. After one of my rounds was over he told me that a guy took his Jinzo that he opened from his booster packs, I confronted the guy and he said that my brother agreed to play him for it, my brother confirmed that they did play for it but he was under the impression that he was also a newer player since he wasn't in the tournament, EVERYONE there knew that my brother wasn't a competitive player and was just getting started so this guy basically cheated a kid out of his rare card that he pulled, Take in mind that this was not the Jinzo that came in the tin but the rare Jinzo from Pharoes Servant booster, anyways I told the dude to play me for the Jinzo back and I would offer a card of my own... He refused many times, I than said "we'll, what if I use the same deck my brother played" he still refused, I told him that I would bet MY entire deck (the one I'm using in tourney) against HIS deck and my brothers Jinzo if I won. and I would use the deck my brother used against him, I guess he figured it was a easy come up and there's no way he could lose so he agreed, we sat down and played, I'm playing with my brothers deck made up of the cards he just got today, mix of SD cards, few boosters and tin cards. It actually wasn't too bad of a deck but my brother didn't know how to play very good yet. Anyways, I beat the asshole fair and square, he was astonished and looking very stupid and probably humiliated. At first he wasn't trying to give up his deck and only gave me my brothers Jinzo back but I wasn't having it, after getting a little physical (I didn't punch the guy or nothing) I got his deck from him, the guy left into the pizza place next door where everyone would hang out and eat between rounds and he came back with his buddy, I knew the guy, he always came into the shop every week and he had the Biggest collection of cards I ever seen, I think he was trying to become a vendor, anyways they both came up to me and my brother, the dude I just beat was crying (I mean literally. Snotty face and everything, the guy was like 16, 17 sobbing away) his buddy was doing all the talking and told me if I gave him his deck he would let me choose 10 cards from his binder and I could have any 10 I wanted. I agreed, I took a BLS-envoy that I needed and told my brother to pick out the rest and gave the guy his deck back. After that I won the Locals and was offered a ride to the Regionals being held the following Saturday which I wasn't planning on attending because my grandmothers car was broke down. Me and my brother still talk about that day lol.
