Oh, man, I was waiting for this since the DF prerelease.
I haven't slept the entire four-day weekend.
Then again, I think I ate too much to be comfortable.
Darn'd Thanksgiving, you've done it again...
Welll, I got there fairly early.
Turns out the library is maybe a few minutes drive from my grandmother's house.
Maybe fifteen of us and I waited for the library to open, at 10.
I helped set up the tables and junk, it was a pretty neat room.
We had exactly enough tables to seat everybody playing.
Nothing really special happened beforehand.
Michael and I just talked about things like Naruto, ebay, Pokemon Diamond, and Power Keepers.
We got right to it.
I played my failure of a KingLatios deck.
24 players in the master division, 4 rounds, top 8 cut.
Round 1 vs. Andrew Knaack (Feraligatr+Nidoqueen)
I got cocky first thing.
I had Latios ex and Latias *on bench, with a Jirachi active.
I didn't pay enough attention to his field, and he had a Nidoqueen and Feraligatr out turn three.
I knocked out Feraligatr with the Latios ex.
He takes a few turns to add to the discard pile, and like a n00b I don't realize what's going on.
He uses Vengance for 100 and pwns the crap out of me, and I can't kill the stupid queen because she has a metal energy.
Knocks out Jirachi, Latios, Latias, another Latias, and Drags Off Latios ex for the win.
I can't believe I was such a frikin moron.
The game ended with me still having five prizes, him none.
Loss.
0-1
Round 2 vs. Marshall Cary (Altaria, ex, Salamence ex, Nidoqueen)
I had this game and I lost it.
Latios ex, Latias *, Lati@s block, everything.
I knocked out a Bagon and Holon's Castform first thing.
He managed to get out 2 Altaria ex and 3 Salamence ex by turn 4.
I pwned his Salamence, and then got murdered attaching three energy per turn.
I started to use Ice Barrier with Latios ex, but just ended up getting my fully powered Latias * n00bed in the face by Flame Jet.
In a very fast few turns, I knocked out 1 Salamence ex, while he annihilated my Latios ex with Vengance (again?).
It was mostly a battle to see if I could lock him.
Got a Cessation Crystal, and my Lati@s block, but he just plowed right through them.
I only had two prize cards left.
If I had just knocked out that Salamence with 60 damage on it before he knocked out my Latios...
Loss.
0-2
By this time I'm feeling pretty bummed.
There's no physically possible way I can make the cut.
But, I'm going to four more cities, so I'm not that depressed.
Round 3 vs. Sean Turnst (Burning Liability)
People still play this?
I was really confident for some reason.
Probably just because this is the oldest deck in modified format.
I knock out two Cyndaquils very fast, and a Koffing.
He said that he was missing one card to have the god hand.
Latios just plowed through everything.
He didn't draw any energies or evolutions.
At one point, be got a Typhlosion, but I just watered it down to nothing.
Then he got an energy on a last Cyndaquil, and the buggar paralyzes me five times.
I got a little scared, but I finally called game after a tails.
I don't know about him, but the entire game became a farce to me.
I feel sorry for him.
I tried to see how many cards I could possibly get in my hand.
I ended with thirty one.
He still had all six prizes.
Win.
1-2
I'm a little bit happier.
I carpool with Jeff M. and we go to Carl's Jr.
Then we go back.
That was the fastest I have ever eaten.
Matt told me about Scary Movie 4.
Round 4 vs. Jerry Knaack (Venasaur+Roselia)
Really, REALLY quick game. Get out Kingler successfully(finally) and rapidly KO his Sunflora, Bulbasaur, and Sunkern.
He benched out.
We ended with me having 3 prizes and he all six.
Win.
2-2
Whatever.
I hang around bored out of my mind to get the rest of the tournament in.
I pick up here and there, and watch the other games.
I trade a whole crap load.
I got two more Latios exs and three Latias exs.
...Still bugged Michael to death for a Deoxys for emerald or promo Japanese Latios.
The library closed at 5.
The master's top cut never finished.
They left to Del Taco to play, and I went home.
Frikin Hilarious.
Peter ends up winning.
...Again.
I'll post the tourney standings in the other thread.
!!!!!Someone allow me to upload images onto the gallery!!!!!
I'm gonna bring a camera to the next few cities, and I'd like to be able to post them up here.
