In the masters division we had to play 4 rounds, apperentaly there were 2 machamp decks which i prayed to aviod; other decks included various SP decks, flygon, sceptile/tangegrowth and some red face paint decks.

Round 1 - giratina
I won both matches relativly easy since he only had some giratinas and in one of the matches he leveled up, but he didn't draw anything else.

1-0

Round 2 - sceptile/tangegrowth with mewtwo lvx
In the first match he drew only a lonley tangela, and i leveled up regigigas in turn 2 and won. In the second match i started with a mesprit and call energy, and until gigas lvx came he set up almost everything. He managed to knock out mesprit easily, and i gave him a prize with sacrifice. Kocked out 3 of his pokeom, and than the surprise for me came....he played mewtwo..i remained freezed becuase i didnt expect a mewtwo lvx in a grasss deck, and i still haven't set palkia, but he had another 3 bench pokeom, and therefore i leveled palkia with the second level max, and went for the win :)

2-0

Round 3 - Scizor/cherrim
Fortunalty this guy had beaten a machamp in his previous round, and therefore made me a favour. I had playtested against scizor a million times, becuase my brother has the same one (but without shayman lvx). These were two easy matches, i used sacrifice wisly, and prevented him from KOing my regigigas. Time for the final

3-0

Round 4 - SP deck, skuntank/toxicorack
I never played against an SP deck before, and i tought it would be an easy match up, but i was proved wrong. He started to use skuntank's power and toxicroack from his second turn, and he killed my regigas and unown g. Afterawards i moved palkia active leved up and started to target his skuntanks, since killing them would nullify his strategy. Somehow i managed to win the first match, altough those power spray were REALLYYY annoying. In the second match it was the same, but i set up a palkia early, and also used mesprit to prevent him from using the power, i won more comftable than the first match. :D :D :D and i realised i am the new maltese champion.

4-0

Finally i was able to win the nationals after trying for many years (5th, 3rd and twice 2nd)

Pros
