So, I have 1 First Place with Machamp, and 2 Third Place with Jumpluff this season, but I'm pretty sure I made some mistakes for those Third Place's, so I decide to try Jumpluff again.
ROUND 1 vs Steffan D with Kingdra. I donked him on T1. Sorry.
1-0
ROUND 2 vs Tommy with Jumplux. I took 2 prizes before he got set up, so it was kind of a foregone conclusion.
2-0
ROUND 3 vs Tyler with Gyarados. First time playing against it this season. I think I took a couple of prizes before he was close to setting up. I Judge'd his good hand away, too, for the disruption.
3-0
ROUND 4 vs Ryan G with LuxChomp. My bud is playing a great deck, and it shows. I Judge his hand at a crucial time, but he gets DCE, Garchomp Lv.X, and Roseanne in the draw, then topdecks Cyrus (he told me later), so it was a slaughter for him. At one point I thought I might get back in it with Uxie and SSU for more Uxie, but it was dead draw, and he merely took my Hoppip with Bright Look/Bite.
3-1
ROUND 5 vs. Patrick C with DialgaChomp. This was harder than I thought. I took three early prizes, and he came back to tie at 5 prizes each. Luckily, I was able to get my last Crobat out and get enough on Dialga to KO it for the win.
4-1
TOP 4 vs. Vanderbilt Grad with Tyranitar. Another bud. I donk T1 for game 1. Game 2 goes the way it should - I take 3 early prizes. He comes back with multiple prizes. I have Jumpluff with Expert Belt on it, but I need to SSU probably for the game. I can't get it, and he wins. Game 3 is a bit similar except this time I put a Grass Energy on Claydol and wait for Tyranitar. After hitting Belted T-Tar with Jumpluff, I get KO'd, but I bring up Claydol, and search for tech Fighting Energy for the 2 prizes. It comes down again to the last prize, but he can't score T-Tar, and he brings up a big tech for stall, but I have Expert Belt in hand and that is game. Whew!
5-1
TOP 2 vs. Patrick C with DialgaChomp. Game 1 I started with Chatot G and went for Rare Candy. He did Deafen. I picked up Uxie and several other things. He KO'd my Active but I was able to kill the Dialga in return. I played Cyrus' Initiative to steal his hand, so he had nothing, and I took his Honchkrow G next turn. Game 2 was a little better for him, but he can't stop me from building Jumpluffs, so after we traded prizes, I kinda rolled.
6-1
Mike Reynolds was goofing around at the end and said to me, "I'm very disappointed in you, Tom." I said, "Will you still be disappointed when I pull 2 Legend cards from my four packs?" He's like, "Uhhh... yeah." So I pull 2 Legend out of four packs! THAT was unusual.
PROPS:
Jeff and Toni for some great Battle Roads this entire season.
Above Board Games for a great venue.
Pokemon players, for being the best gamers in the world - I LOVE THIS GAME!
SLOPS:
AT&T, for having the worst coverage in Western North Carolina.
