First, woke up at 8 and had to rush out right after getting changed and washing up. I needed to get to King's Games early to borrow cards or I'd go with Kingdra. I go to the train, but due to stupid construction, MTA made it confusing to get to the Q line. I managed to find my way through, which involved walking around and going under places, I got on the Q train, which was slow as a Shuckle. So when the train got to the station, it was already time for registration and I needed the some stuff like Pokemon. Luckily Pokepop was there to lend me the Dialga G's I needed for my deck.

Got my stuff ready, and started

Round 1
Joseph C. - Blaziken Heatran
Great, a fire deck >.< I couldn't do anything against his fast setup so I lost.
0-1

Round 2
Mimi C. - Random fire
Great, another fire. This time, I got setup and she got a slow game going.
1-1

Round 3
Eric Brache - Machamp
Ugh, so many bad matchups. It was a close game, he killed one of my Dialga early, but I got another one ready with Unown G, and my Frogger was immune to Take Out. I managed to last long enough with my Frogger to kill more Champs
2-1

Round 4
Patrick Robinson - Gigas
I got a god start while he got a slow start. Poison and Power Spray slows him WAY down
3-1

Round 5
Jimmy O' Brien - Machamp
Ugh, another Champ. We managed to slow each other down, but it got down to my Frogger vs his Uxie swarm, but he couldn't do much when I got Dialga active.
4-1

Round 6
Darrell Moreno - Dialga/Palkia
We got good starts but eventually, my Dialga g X got kills like crazy
5-1

Woo, made top cut for first time in ages.

T8
Charlie Schmidt - Dialga/Palkia
Game 1
Got an early Deafen, which locked his hand for at least 12 turns. Then Dialga G X cleaned up
Game 2
He couldn't get anything, and I got an early Dialga G X.
6-1

T4
Darrell Moreno - Dialga/Palkia
Game 1
I got early Dialga and he found it difficult to kill it
Game 2
He T2'd my lone Baltoy with Palkia and Crobats
Game 3
He got early lead, but when I got Dialga G X out, he Remove Lost and got both energy into the Lost Zone. I couldn't do anything after >.<
6-2

Got 3rd, picked up my stuff, and left

Props
People who lent me cards
People who helped me test

Slops to Maiman
