Today I went to Nashua, NH. and played my Flychamp deck
Round 1 vs. Gabe B-Shuppet.
Shuppet is annoying at best. I got a t3 double claydol and flygon. I discarded 1 plus power and 2 belts with wind errosion. Throughout the game I got like 3 KOs with machamp, then retreating and letting it heal off for a while.
1-0
Round 2 vs. Kevin C -Luxchomp
I was pretty worried about this one. His garchomp OHKO my flygon and Uxie x+lucario = bye bye machamp. Ok so he has an unown G start to my trapinch, candy,flygon,memory berry and VERY little else. he attaches the call, and gets set up, and I'm forced to lock him for 4 turns while I get set up. I later realize that that was his only unown g and he plays 2 arrons, no maintn. no palmer. So I blow through his attackers with machamp.
2-0
Round 3 vs. Paz GG- Gengar ( SF)
I am VERY worried about this one, not because it's gengar. I personally think gengar stinks. I'm worried because Paz is a really good player who knows how to play his deck very well. I force him to waste his warps early game. I'm set up by t3 with 2 claydol, nidoqueen and 2 flygons. I had control for most of the game until he hit a key fainting spell flip. But he has nothing, and he scoops like 2 turns later because he prob. would have got decked.
3-0
Round 4 vs. Thomas A.-Dusknoir/Dialga G
Thomas is a great kid and we were joking around the whole game. At this point were the only 2 3-0s so both of us have a pretty good chance of top cutting . He opens up strong, getting his dark hide dusknoir and DP dusknoir fast. I got a t1 Machamp that was pretty usuless, and couldn't get anything the whole game. He played the match very well.
3-1
Round 5 vs. Estrella-Kingdra
She had a baltoy start, which I stalled for 4 turns. By the time I killled it, I was very setup and she couldn't really do much.
4-1.
I know I'm in top cut because my only loss was to thomas who went 5-0.
about ten minutes later, they announce top cut.
Thomas A- 5-0
Kiko GG-4-1
Paz GG- 4-1
Danny M-4-1 ( me)
Top 4 vs. Paz.
game 1. I was pretty confident because I had already beaten him in swiss. I open strong with a baltoy, double trapinch and unown G. I have control all game and he gets very little out.
1-0
Game 2. He chooses to go second, and wins t1
Game 3 He gets like 4 drawers, claydol and 2 gengars t1. His build is just so good. Nothing I could do.
The worst part is, Kiko ( who won) was playing sp, a great matchup for me, so I could have won in the finals.
Props
Jon Bristow for the ride

Jon for not taking the whole thing like he should have
