Going to regionals i knew i was going to be playing what a majority of the New England pokemon community, having already played the deck at 4 battle roads, had dubbed Troll.dec. Now your probably all saying "what in the nonsense is troll.dec?", well thats very simple, i create a lock with vileplume and slowking while slowly approaching my lost world win condition through the sole use of mime jr. So heres the list so as we move forward youll have a better sense of what im doing.
Pokemon
4 mime jr
4-1-3 vileplume
2-2 slowking
2-1 weavile
2 smoochum
1 bellsprout
1 unown (cure)
T,S,S
2 communication
1 elms training
3 collector
2 dual ball
4 PONT
2 judge
2 juniper
4 charren
2 twins
2 lost world
3 candy
2 pokegear
Energy
2 DCE
3 special dark
3 rescue
So now you have my list and the general idea of how it works so on to the report!
Round 1 vs Stage 1s (Donphan/yanmega/dragons)
Im a little to slow in setting up the lock but eventually get it, then i make a simple miss play of dragging the reshi with a bellsprout with a SpDark on it instaed of a rescue. i can only manage ot get 4 pokes in the lost zone before being run over by linear attacks and earthquakes. not exactlly how i plan on starting out the tourney. (0-1)
Round 2 vs Bearticgatr
Long story short, the game lasted 10 minutes, my opponent never got to attack, i almost feel bad.
(1-1)
Round 3 vs straight typlosion
Again slow set up my lock, get it out by about T4 but by then hes got 2 phlosions set up and its going ot be a long game. i focus on moving nrgs to the cyndaquil on the bench and saving my rescuse so i keep dragging things off the bench to disrupt. late in the game i drag something with no nrgs off the bench, and pass to his turn. he draws, PONTs, gets an nrg, attaches, retreats, and takes his second ot last prize. only one problem, after PONTing theres only 1 card left in his deck, so up comes mime jr, om nom nom and gg bro. (2-1)
round 4 vs TZPS
ill just come out an say ive never won a game against that deck with troll, so im ready for the loss when it come. But i made a ggod run of it, T3 set up, but i couldnt get the weavile to discard the nrg from his hand, i think i could have had a chance if id been able to snag it but i dont really thing so. so much for my epic come back. (2-2)
round 5 vs (???)
sorry but i honestly dont remember anything about this match other than i win so, Yay!! (3-2)
round 6 vs gothille
T2 set up + smoochum + shinenigens = EPIC WIN!! so yeah, he gets 2 prizes the whole game while im forcing all the nrgs to the cleffa on the bench and then i snipe it to prevent thta random shaymin drop that would ruin my day, and off i go, trollololing. (4-2)
( a small interlude where i talk to some cute college age girls interveiwing players about the game, never thought to ask why though, oops)
Round 7 vs TZPS
Now i just hate the game, really the only deck ive never beat and im playing at 4-2 thought i had a chance oh well. but it goes my way, at the point in which my opponent scoops theres a shaymin, 2 DCEs and 3 lighting in the lost zone AND a shayim with a DCE and 11 lightning on his bench. under trianer lock and him not playing seeker in his deck, not bad self, not bad. (5-2)
Round 8 vs LostGar
i cant suppress the nrgs forever and eventually theres a gengar with 2 nrgs attacking, but i managed ot hold out long enough to get 3 pokes in the lost zone before get dripped on to death. (5-3)
Now were all just waiting for top cut to be announced, with 130 something masters theres a top cut of 32 and im feeling i might just have a chance a getting in, because you know itd be really awesome ot top cut with a deck thats main attacker is mime jr. but alas i bubble to 38th. but hey i had a good time, trolled quite a few people, all in all a great regionals.
A big thanks to Tom and Judy Shea for organizing a great tourney, my awesome friends thta let me stay in their hotel room, the some of the coolest judges in the counrty, and a great venue to play in.
