Alrighty, I just got back about 45 minutes ago. I still have a suprising amount of energy left, so i'll post everything now.
I get at Martin's house at 8. There's a little confusion, as apparently they aren't going. Then right as Sharif gets in the car to go drop off his little brothers somewhere, he says "See you at the Atrium" and burns out of there. So we follow along, and about 2 hours later, we pull up to the hotel.
We decide what to run as quickly as we can, Martin decided on Muk EX, and he let me alter his LudiCargo to my liking and use it. (No time to build my own before the event. :/)
A bit later, round 1 pairings are up, and it's go-time.
Round 1: Jon S. (Water Pokemon Master) - DragTrode
He doesn't seem to have much of a hand, my start is quite good. He starts getting there, but has no evolutions. My start speeds up more, and I take control with a turn 2 Ludicolo + DRE. Soon 'Cargo comes out and he's stuck.
1-0
Round 2: Jaime G. - Shiftry
He starts off alright, but made a mistake of putting down a lot of bench. My setup was awesome, so pretty soon I reversal his Pidgeot and OHKO it with Ludi. Later, Reversal his Nuzleaf, OHKO. He eventually starts attatcking more, but has very little draw and can't recover. He concedes.
2-0
Round 3: Sean T. - Blaze
OMG! MY BEST MATCHUP!! MY HAND SUCKS!!! ... Jirachi prized, no evolutions until my last turn, no draw, no NOTHING. His turn 3 BLEX tears through my basics until i'm dead. Pathetic.
2-1
Round 4: Martin M. (Martin) - Muk EX
-_- I hate having to play a friend, especially one with a deck that completly shuts down mine. I have a tech Grumpig line just for Muk decks, but it didn't help here.
My start is alright, his seems pretty good. I try to get set up, but i'm not getting much. Turn 3, out comes Muk EX. From there, he starts taking prizes. I try to set up my Grumpig line, but he reversals it, knockout. I retriever it. He reversals, knockout. :/
I eventually take out his first muk with a lanturn, but by then he's got 3 out, i'm dead.
2-2
Round 5: Laura M. - Blastoise
I start out with a Lotad, swoop for dunsparce, but no energies. She gets set up alright, mostly getting her Magcargo line ready. but by turn 3, i'm all ready. I reversal her Magcargo, take it out with Ludi. From there, she gets another out later, has a blastoise out, but not enough energies to rain with apparently. I play a desert ruins that slowly whittles away her health. Late game, she uses Archie to get out a TA Walrien that KO's my Lanturn, but then I take it out in 2 turns with Ludi.
Time is called, I have 1 prize to her 3 and it's my turn. Game.
3-2
Round 6: Randy H. - Shedninja/Claydol
hrm, I don't like Shedninja decks much. But I teched in a TRR Slugma for this deck in particular, and late game it helped.
I start with just that slugma though. -_-
He starts pounding with a Claydol turn 2, but I got another basic and soon start setting up. He's taken 2 prizes by then, but now i'm set up. I take out his Claydol, he has a dragon Ninjask, dragon Shedninja and deoxys Shedninja out, he sends up the dragon Shedninja. I put one energy on my dunsparce, pow! hand for his ninjask, take that out. Next turn, brings up the dragon Shedninja again. I brineys, send up dunsparce, attatch, retriever for TRR slugma, swoop, KO.
From there, his setup is stinky, so I win.
4-2
Now I have a shot at top 8! But unfortunatly, WPM goes 1-5, dropping my resistance like a rock. I place 12th.
Ah well, I had fun anyway, real good tournament.
PICS!!!
