Alright so i go with the same deck i played at my state (Utah) Plox/Amu.

Round 1.
I have to play someone from Utah. (there is 13 of us in masters) He was playing Regigigas which is basically an auto loss to me. Not much to say here. He gets a bad hand i lock his powers.
1-0
Round 2. vs Octillery.
Interesting deck I must say, he gets a turn 2 Octilery and another on his bench. He uses its attack get 3 energy flips 1 heads to hit my active mesprit. so it lives. i attach a third energy to gallade. he knocks out mesprit. I knock out octillery with gallade. he brings up another octillery. get 4 energy flips 1 heads and then i knock out his octillery.
2-0
Round 3. vs Weavile Swarm with honchcrow/crowbat.
I have to play another from Utah, she gets a good start, so do i. But i go second get downer material in play. Drop a few cards try to use setup and she sprays it. So i'm sitting with 1 card in my hand. She kills my downer materal azelf with honchrow and crowbat + poketurn. for a few turns i dont draw much. till i finally draw roseannes get another uxie and energy. try to set up she sprays it again. and by this time i have gardevoir so i start using telepass. i finally start setting up. and am behind by 3 prize cards. I set up a gallade and a gardevoir lvx. I get a few prizes so now i'm down by 1. It's still her turn she uses honchos orders. 10 seconds into my turn time is called. There is a honchcrow with 20hp remaing on her bench so i drop a mesprit and psychic bind. and then Bring down her honchcrow. So now she has to knock me out to win on this turn cause i have a gallade on my bench. She brings up weavile. attaches two pluspowers. attaches another Special Dark energy. has 6 Sp pokemon in play. she has 3 specail darks on this weavile. and since i locked her powers she couldnt use crowbats power. So she does 120 to my gardevoir on my turn i knock weavile out with gallade. this was a very good game.
3-0
Round 4. Vs Palkia G /w Mesprits
Alright so i get the first bind off. attach to raltes ts-1 to kirlia. he can't do anything. I bind again attach to kirlia ts-1 to gardevoir. Again he can't do anything with3 cards in his hand one of them being uxie. Then i physcic lock for the rest of the game. while setting up supreme blast and another gardevoir.
4-0
Round 5. vs Weavile swarm. Pretty much the same deck as round 3. and he's also from Utah :confused:
This time i get a good start and he doesnt. I'm binding and then start using psychic lock and set up gallade. He pulls out of his bad start takes a few prizes but then supreme blast and gallade get me the rest of my prizes.
5-0
Round 6 vs Dialga G Toxitank
This game doesnt go much of anywhere for a long time. He turn one deafen locks me. I cant play stadiums thus can't have free retreat. I cant use rare candies or TS-1. I take damage when i evolve cause of HQ. Finally i set up Gallade and supreme blast. get a couple Binds off. Kill two Dialga's with Gallade. Time is called right as i kill his second dialga and win 4-5 on prizes.
6-0

So at the end of swiss i go 6-0. and we top 8

Round one of top 8 i play a dusknoir deck. I win game one barely as she takes two prize cards to tie the game 1-1 prizes left then i take my last with supreme blast. Second game she didnt set up very well. and i take a lot of early prize cards. And she couldnt come back from that.
7-0

So now its top 4 1. plox/amu (Me)
2. Weavile Swarm
3. Palkia G/ Dialga G
4. Dialga G

So i have to play the Dialga G deck in top 4. He gets a turn one deafen which makes the game last for ever. I struggle to set up. but i was seting up. I make a huge missplay, one of the times he deafen locked me i forgot about it. and used Bebe's Search for a Gallade. Had gardevoir in my hand. Try to rare candy to Gardevoir. and obv i couldnt. so i SHOULD have gotten kirlia with Bebe's so at least in another turn i could start using telepass to set up. But now i have to rely on either draw kirlia or another bebe's which doesnt happen. So i scoop round 1. Round 2 i decide to go first. Which i did so i could call. But then he turn one deafen locks me again. Culdnt get out of this one and i end up scooping again because clearly i was going to lose. GG Adam
7-1


Top two was DialgG vs PalkiaG/Dialga G. in two games Palkia G wins.

Driving to Idaho was really fun, i think there was 23 of us from Utah that came to Idaho. and Congrats to Igor for his Win. This isn't the best Report but eh i was bored and felt like writing about it.

A man can dream right haha. We gotta represent at Regionals and Nats! Keep it up and hope to see you soon.
 
Great games Karl! It was great to play you and the loved your deck! I've been trying to fool around with the idea myself now, but I don't think I have the right list. Would you mind PMing it to me or at least helping me with it?
