i wake up at 6ish after sleeping over friends house, fill out my list, eat a bagel, and head out

location:time warp comics and games-cedar grove, NJ
division: seniors
deck:fire TRUK(mag, catty phlosion)
top cut/rounds: 6 with top 8


round 1: fire truk vs. duskqueen

i get a good start, and get a chunk of energies on a magmortar. then he evolves to dusknoir and shuffles
mag in-CRAP! but i eventually draw into it and get it up again, keeping a bench of 3. then i just overwhelm him with lots of damage/sniping

1-0

round 2: fire truk vs. gardelade

i get an eh start, and respond to his gallade with mag X. i flame bluster it, and he rolls heads on burn check. then he OHKOs it, and i cant recover from that. soo baddd

1-1

round 3: fire truk vs. magmortar-typhlosion-claydol

we both get nice starts, and from that starts a rapid prize exchange. i come out on top, and flame bluster
a claydol FTW

2-1

round 4: fire truk vs. lucario

i swarm with mortars and overpower him. hes only doing 40 and im healing. gg

3-1

round 5: fire truk vs. empoleon/claydol

hes OHKOing me with his charms, and i lose. BLEH

3-2

round 6: fire truk vs. blissey/ninetales

he gets T2 bliss, and boosts, killing pachi. i send mag up, and flame bluster, along with a tails on burn for the ko. now all he has left is a ninetales, and i OHKO it FTW gg

4-2

so i end up with a mediocre record, but with killer resistance, i make it in as 8th seed. PHEW

it ends up like this:(not exact standings)

1st dylan b w/GG 6-0
2nd michael d w/mortar-pachi-claydol 5-1
3rrd sam g w/swampert-palkia X-mantine
4th jason a w/empoleon-claydol

6th justin b w/GG
7th zach a w/ GG
8th alex maiman w/ fire truk

game 1 vs. GG

game 2 vs. GG
