So after judging last weeks Battle Road... I got the opportunity to play this week and kick of my season. We had a league tournament the night before and I used MewtwoEX/Eelektrik just to see what would happen. Went 4-0 in that, so I decided that for the first time since Metanite, I was going to use a well known meta-type deck.

I added in 1 RayquazaEX in right before I left this morning. After actually giving some thought to the matter... I realized Hydreigon/Darkrai wrecks my face without it. Hopefully 1 was enough.

I arrive at 8:30. Early early start time because there was a childrens birthday party at 1. I borrow catchers from Albert and Connor <3 and eat an oatmeal cookie while we wait for round 1.

Round 1: Alex (Rayquaza/Eelektrik)
Turn 1 Mewtwo, but no double colorless. I Get out two Tynamo and pass. He gets out Tynamo but for the next 4 turns is only able to get a supporter that wasn't professor Juniper. By that time I had 3 Mewtwo out. I stacked up a Mewtwo with the energy needed to OHKO Rayquaza when it was 4-2 me, and also benched Ray and put 2 lightning on it for good measure. He ko'd Mewtwo and I hit the return KO for game.
[1-0]

Round 2: Mike (Empoleon)
To sum up this match.. He had 3 energy.. did Bianca... drew 3 energy. I got rid of his Piplup's before they could become a threat.
[2-0]

Round 3: Darren (Empoleon)
I attached 1 Lightning to my Mewtwo and played off that I had no hand, only benching Tynamo to hopefully get him to play Catcher and take it out with DCE. Supporter/didn't have a bench. He played DCE and brought up Tynamo for the KO. I attached a DCE, did double Level Ball along with Juniper... and proceeded to OHKO his MewtwoEX in return. He couldn't get anything going after that.
[3-0]

Round 4: Connor (Rayquaza/Eelektrik)
I don't remember much about this game sorry.. just know that it was close and could've easily gone either way... with the game ending on a Mewtwo OHKO.
[4-0]

Round 5: Joshua (Darkrai/Chandelure/Hydreigon)
Luckily I had tested this deck before so I knew to take out Litwick early and Hydreigon later with Rayquaza. The game went back and forth as he got Hydreigon out which I KO'd twice with Rayquaza. Max Potions on both sides of the field allowed us to keep our Pokemon's health in tact to most of the game. The game got to 3-3. I had 7 Energy on my Mewtwo to OHKO his Registeel, the problem was that my Mewtwo had 90 and I had an Eelektrik with 60... with meant that He was going to win the game next turn with his powered up Darkrai w/Eviolite. Luckily I had 1 Max Potion left and used it.. I then did 1 Dynamotor (Had 2 in play.. used 1 on Mewtwo earlier before retreating) to bring it to 1 Fire/1 Lightning. I KO'd his RegisteelEX. He brought up DarkraiEX and played N... bringig me to 1. A Bianca. He KO'd my Mewtwo and I promoted my Eelektrik. My deck was low (10 cards) and I drew an Eelektrik. I played it (bringing me to 3 in play) and did Bianca for 6. I knew I had switch left and about 3 energy in deck.. I was just hoping they weren't the last cards.. I drew what I needed and did 3x Dynamotor to Ray (bringing it to 4 Lightning), and played switch for the OHKO and game.
[5-0]

Pulled a Shiny Ray in my packs!
