Friday: Ok so lugiaseeker, pokemonforever and myself all traveled over to nats on Friday. Bleh it was looong drive to get there and we arrived at around 11 at night. I still wasnt sure what to play either T2Seaking or HiJynx. We got there settled into our rooms and then we began playing a few games. I eventually decided to run HiJynx after having used it and GymChallenge and come in 14th place. =/ I added a few modifications to the deck and then went of to sleep.
Saturday: So the big day had arrived. We drove for about 1 minute literally to the convention center and go our pases and went over to the pokemon room. I wrote my decklist and got in line. After a long wait to get my deck checked i went over to do one last test run with my deck (hijynx) I played my brothers dragtrode once and then pokemonforevers LBS as well. Then i just waited to see what would happen next.
The matches may not be in the exact order but i am pretty sure this is how it went.
1st match: Armaldo Ex
I draw.... eeeeeeew horrible start X_X only my roselia. I have a holong mentor though. I play my roselia and we flip to go first. I go first but my opponent only has one pokemon/fossil in play. I attach to roselia anyway and end my turn. Slowly i start to get a good setup but by that time my opponent had knocked out three of my pokemon and i KOed none. Finally POW boom i lock his energyless aerodactyl and i had two wobbs on my bench. I start pure powering and boom knock out one Armaldo i have 4 prizes left he had 3. Time is runnign out fast eventually i get a tm rock and his armaldo has 7 damage on it. Its his turn and he searches his discard pile.... grrr........boom times up
X_X i lose becfause of one prize and i had tm rock in hand. If it had been turn it would have been my win. Bleh
0:1
2nd Match: Bannet Ex
1st Turn i get a decent hand smoochum and jynx and a double rainbow. I flip and i get to go second.
She has a jirachi in play and she wishing star pokepower. She also powers it up with an energy an dshe has a shuckle on the bench. I wasnt sure what she was playing but i was nto very worried aobut the shuckle because of my jynx. Next its my turn. I have a wynaut on the bench i mentor to ge ta wobba and another evolved jynx. Next i evolve into jynx and attach double rainbow and paralyze jirachi. I feel strong but she swoops into a Bannet and from there she starts owning me. It was very unnexpecting and i never got a pow to switch to a bench. =/ She ended up owning me.
0:2
3rd match: DS Beedril Deck
I got a great start T2 Jynx 50 damage. I locked him and it was a very easy win.
1:2
4th Match: Nats Rogue deck Raichu/Execugotr/Marowack.
I had never seen this deck before i flip to go 1st but i get th emost horrifying hand. No mentor or tranceiver and only a raw jynx and a wynaut. I confuse his only pokmeon magenimte and he ataaches and ends his turn after using mentor t bench a pikachu and executor. I draw and nothing nothing. Here came my big misplay. I had no idea what to expect from this deck so i gambled not to play my raw jynx. Next turn he evolved into raichu and did 20 to my wynaut. I draw hoping for wobb or mentor and still nothing not even drawing card. X_X I gamble once again not benching my raw jynx and i cant take the risk of trying to confuse his raichu becaause im confused. next turn he plays the deadly cursed stone to knock me out and bench me. I was furious
1:3
5th Match: Flygon Ex.
Ugh once again i had a slow start but luckily so did she. She saw my smoochums and acted fast. SHE PLAYED MOUNT MOON and then TM ROCKS MY WOBBS. I was astounded. I had no stadiums in my hand and i had to pass by confusing with my wobbafet. I had to get a stadium and fast. I could not evolve. She then began blasting of my baby pokemon one by one. I play admin next turn and topdeck a fronteir. I play and evolve into and manage to stall afor one turn by paralysis. Next turn pure power. We keep it up and eventually we were tied 2 prizes. Next turn i would pure power to knock out her last flygon ex since the cursed stone in play as eating him alive. Unluckily for me though time goes up and its heer turn. She manages to get a warp energy switch and blast my last jynx with flygon ex. I lose GREAT match though.
1:4
6th Match: Sunflora
To make a long story short i had the worst hand imaginable. He has a decent one and eventually powers up his floras and parasects. At one point his entire bench is filled up with pokemon that all have at least 2 grass or double rainbow. Im pretty much dead and starts blasting of my wobs and jynx of one by one. A loss AGAIN
1:5
7th Match: Camerupt Ex/Walrein Ex
So i knew i had 0 chance of making top 32 but i was amazed i was doing SO BADLY. After making 14th place at gym challenge this was a big drop for me. Even when i was using the same deck. We each get decent hands and i was able to get my setup fairly fast. Soon i started purepowering his bench and knocked out 2 camreput ex's. I got lucky though when he attacked one of my wobs and none of us discarded an energy. Finally i knock out his damged Seal and normal camerupt to draw my last two prize cards
2:5
8th Match: Mightiena Ex/Mew Ex/Craudaunt ex
I get a great hand and he plays his two mew ex's too early (one hp and one lm) i target the lm one first sincei had cursed stone in my hand and i t2 draw 2 prizes. Next i target the other mew and soon knock it out too. His active pokemon is a pull away mightiena but its effect did not work well with jynx ;D Soon i began purepowering his last mightiena ex to draw my last two prizes. It got close though.
3:5
9th Match: Tyranitar Ex
I get a decent hand and i get a t2 jynx. His only pokemon is pupitar though and he rarecandies soon after he realizes im running jynx. I lock in his benched pupitar and target the tyranitar ex. I play cursed stone and soon purepower ate away the tar while the pupitar could not touch me. Soon i knocked out the tyranitar and benched my opponent by knocking out pupitar.
4:5
Bleeeeh so it was one of my worst tournaments but i had lots of fun. If it had not been for all those HORRIBLE HIDEOUS start ups of raw jynx/raw wobb im sure i could have done better But hey THATS LIFE
Props:
lugiaseeker: almost made top32 missed it by one match.
No LBS faced
Met lots of people
My Hijynx deck did better than some pokemonforevers LBS's
Flops:
Starts with raw jynx/wobb X_X
EXPENSIVE FOOD
Losing more matches than winning
