This was an awesome tournament for me. I ran a Gradie gallade queen deck which I had played in two other cities.

1st round Rampardos sabelye :
I see that I am playing my freind Ryan and imediately know that this should be an easy win because he is running a deck I helped build. Then I get a ralts and six energy. I was thinking to myself r u freakin serious the first round and i pull this crap. I got a forth turn gallde though and killed off his rampardos for the win. WOW I GOT LUCKY.

1-0

2nd round Gardie gallade:
I again have to face a freind of mine Roberto aka Daniel. We have the exact same deck card for card and it is my original idea just to let everyone know. I got a first turn gardie with no energy wow I didn't have an energy propblem last game but this one i did. Anyway I got a queen shortly after my Gardie and knick out his only evolution his gallede with a strength chram plus power. GG:lol:

2-0

3rd round Venemoth........:
This game lasted five turns and wasn't very exciting. He got out a quick venemoth but I killed it with my turn two gallade and he only had two venonats left. I knocked them both out in a couple of turns and won the game.

3-0

4th round Honchcrow:
I had let this person use my honchcrow deck for the tourney so I knew the deck in and out. It was also her first time playing the deck so I give her props for giving me a close match. I started witih a lone squirtle and had seven trainers in my hand. Great she flipped over an absol. The first two cards she gets are my TSD and castaway. I fortunately drew a ralts and then used a stevens for two getting a DBR and gardie. First turn gardie is always good but shse got a quick honchcrow and two murcrow so I was nervous. It came down to the last few minutes but I pulled it out with my gallade. GG christina I still love u lol.:biggrin:

4-0

5th round Gardie Gallade Absol:
I hate going against MIike because our matches are so intense that one mistake could cause you the game. I believe we both played perfectly and that I wouldn't have won if time wasn't called. Anyway Mike starts with an absol and gets an energy (or queen) I got out a fast gardie anyway. My third turn i got out a gardie because of my kirlia and celios. BLAH BLAH BLAH. Then time is called and he has a gallade witih 100 on it and I have the level X. GG Mike sry about the time.:smile:

5-0

FINALS

Ok this is the weirdst finals ever. There are four gardie gallades in the finals OMG. I was a little nervous because I saw I was facing Breton who normally gets really lucky against me.

1st game:
Breton gets two extra cards becuase I didn't get a basic twice. I of course started with a nidoran and rare candy gardie. He has an absol and gets rid of a energy. I took a really risky move and used a wager. Fortunatelty for me I won the wager and got 2 rare candy and a queen, two doulble rainbow, a scramble and a gardie. WOW that was amazing all that in six cards of course i get the queen and gardie so that he can't get rid of them with absol. It is all down hill from here for him because he plays a Team galactics mars and I continue to use it to keep his hand size down.

1-0

2nd game:
We both have ralts starts and I go second. I get a second turn kirlia which I celio's for first turn. Second turn I wager and win again. I get the double rainbow and a rare candy queen attach the DBR and use kirlia's attack to get my celios effect. Basically he gets a few supporters but I win by knocking out his Latios ex with my blastoise that had 60 damage on it.

FINAL MATCHES

What a surprise Mike P and I are in the finals again. This was going to be fun........

1st game
We each get a ralts start and about the same speed of a set up. Mike made the mistake of thinking I was double weak but there was no Lake Boundary in sight. As stated previously one mistake between Mike and I will cost you the game and this was no exception.:tongue:
1-0
2nd game
DONK
1-1
3rd game
I dont remeber to much about it just that we both got crap mine was just a little better than his.
2-1

GJ on winning again bro...

I was a little nervous because I saw I was facing Breton who normally gets really lucky against me.


as for this statement, I Beg to differ.

at battle roads this year when you and Bret both had Mario and played each other, bret flipped HORRIBLY with Dynamic Punch, and you got Nearly ALL heads on your Dynamic Punch. AND, when bret Finally did get his first heads of the game, you flipped heads on Confusion AND heads on your Dynamic Punch.
1 Lucky Point for Josh.


at cities in Falcon, when Bret used Mario/Chefable against your Gallade, You got 5 Mulligans, which was QUITE Unlucky on your part. On the Contrary, bret started with a lone Clefairy (the only bad starter in the deck), a Cessation Crystal and 5 Energies, and those mulligans just turned his absolutely horrible hand into a average one.
but Bret told me you got a slow setup after that.. so I'll definitely give the lucky points to bret this time:

1 lucky point for Bret.

at the most recent cities, when bret used Absol/Gardy vs your QueenGardy,
You Won the wager first game, (whereas if you had lost, brets absol could've easily picked your hand down to zero in a short amount of time, most likely giving him the win) also out of the wager win, you draw you 2 rare candy stage 2's and Double Rainbow to power up, on 2ND turn.
then you won another wager later that game. 1 Josh lucky point for Josh.

Game 2, Bret starts absol-ing you and despite the hand denial you get a few stage 1 pokemon out before he gets any sign of an evolution himelf, then you win another early wager game, and get your stage 2's out while he still only has basics. then bret gets like 1 Gardeoir out the Whole game.

1 Lucky point for Josh.


overall Lucky Points this season (so far anyway) for Bret/Josh:
1 for Bret.
3 for Josh.

so dude, we know your a good player, but that's quite unfair to blame your losses(to other skilled players nonetheless), and other people's wins, on luck.
"luck" is a factor in this game, but as we All know,(or should know) everyone gets lucky sometimes.. (not just our opponents lol)

thats all, thanks

wow Ian you were really pasionate about that but breton does gett lucky a lot and I'm not saying that he's unskilled becuase that would be ignorant I was just saying that most of the time he gets luvky against me.

yeah true...
(ps: im passionate about a lot of useless crud i say..) even dumb stuff like pokemon lol (dont take it personally)

my bad... yea i understand ur not trying to diss.
but its still kinda rude and ignorant to label someone as "Lucky".
for instance:

bret has mentioned he's gotten lucky against you at random league tournaments (like Mario vs your Mismagius when 3 of ur DRE's were prized lol)
as far as organized play this season, it seems to be the other way around(from what i've witnessed so far)
therefore, it appears (by fair observation), that you guys both get lucky against each other occasionally, but neither is a more "Lucky" player.

the point i'm making is, nobody gets consistantly lucky. not even Jared.(despite all the dumb steriotypes)
people do get lucky sometimes, but it always evens out and they pull crud later. (example: Jared lost to a water deck with his lightning deck this tournament)
so out of respect (and plain proof of observation), I don't think we should label people, except for Jared, (lol.. kidding Jared) as "lucky"

.. sound fair?


ps: overall nice tourny report btw
