Yea thats right the title isnt lying. I woke up the day of the torney about 30 min late only too find that on the first day of Spring in Oklahoma City there is snow all over our car LOL. Amidst the massive groupibng of delays we show up 45 min late but thanx too the epic Texas staff (/love) we manage to get in on time because they were behind schedual =).


Round 1 Austino 0-1 L
Gyrados V Donphan
Too everyone that has ever played this matchup you know that Donphan in general tends to buckle too anything water pretty hard, Well Im too good for this sterotype....
I make it a 1 prize game and it comes down to Austin knowing that i play 2 warp points so he attaches Expert belt too a crobat GG me FTL.

Round 2 Dana lynch 1-1 W
Luxray V Donphan
Now I think Dana is a great player, pretty cool headed and makes the right calls. Although not even the best player can overcome weakness plus someone donking heads on SSU....
Game lastes 5 turns and I hit 2 crutial SSU, ontop of a T1 upraor with Wismur LULZ.

Round 3 Jordan 2-1 W
Curse Gar V Donphan
Ive played jordan several times, hes a good kid who doesnt realy play serious anymore.
T2 Donphan starts wrecking every Spirittomb he gets and im such a donk i never see a trainer other then supporters lol, He makes it a 2 prize game but ultimatly he would have had a chance had he not whiffed on Feighting spell.

Round 4 3-1 W
Dialga Chomp V Donphan
I dont like this match up very much, So I know let loosing early game should give me enough time to score early prizes that I can clean up with Warp points end game...
T1 Donphan + let losse = GG for him, He top decks a Cyrus and I let loose agian and he draws crap, Sorreh it had too be played that way bro but my mattch up agianst you is trash any other way lol.

Round 5 4-1 W
Queen Garchomp V Donphan
Not too much too say here, I get a super super good hand and let loose T2 for the GG, he cant set up anything lol.

Round 6 5-1 W
Champ Donphan V Donphan
I go first so I get the first Donphan up T2 and he cant ever recover, T4 he drawas a baltoy so he Luxary balls for a Claydol... Ahh nahh way bro get let loosed. In the end it made the game for me.

Round 7 Lynn 6-1 W
Gyrados V Donphan
I donk him... nuff said lol

Whew didnt think id too quite that well recovering from a 0-1 start. But heh I had decent hands and pretty much avoided water as well as possible.

Top 16
Lady Gaga V Donphan
Game 1 0-1
Well too be sadly honest, He gets God hand and well I start with a Gratinia, Every single basic I lay down gets sniped... I scope After he plays 3 Power Sprays in 1 turn....

Game 2 1-1
He starts with Garchomp C + Call + DCE for the second game in a row... He comes out hitting strong but my 2 Uxie + 5 fighting NRG is too good and I make a comeback and he Scoops.

Game 3
Once agian Garchomp C + Call + DCE... Seriously you get a God hand 3 games in a row /backhand my cutting skills, This game is Super Super close, I miss a crucial SSU when playing 3 on the same Donphan lol. Late game I see he has the Win and I Assume he only player 3 Power Sprays because that what the Best SP Deck builders play lol... Sadly I once agian was incorrect when he Spays my last hope Let Losse...

Well overall it was a fun experiance like it always is hitting up Texas for easy points :biggrin:. Just wish I had not gotten such trash hands all 3 of my Top 16 games lol.
