I decide to play Blissey/Lucario because Blissey won all three age divisions at the Battle Road I went to yesterday and I think it works best with Lucario. I trade for/borrow 4 TV Reporters. Then one of my sleeves doesn't pass inspection so I borrow one of those too, only to have it rejected. The third sleeve I try passes, so on with the tournament.
Masters Division
Five Rounds
Cut to top 4
Round 1: Holden [Gardevoir ex/Infernape/Machamp(PK)]
I mulligan once. He mulligans five times, then gets a bad start with no energy. So me and my ten card hand get a relatively fast win. During our game the people next to us had like 12 Rock, Paper, Scissors matches in a row.
1-0
Lunch break: I go to Wendy's and pay $7.79 for a double cheeseburger, medium french fries and medium Coke. McDonald's has that same meal for $3.79.
Round 2: David [Shiftry ex(PK)/Empoleon]
I get a bodacious start with Happiny, Chansey and Blissey all in my hand. He starts with a lone Piplup. I knock the Piplup out quickly, but he gets a Shiftry ex out. He Skill Hacks twice, but can't get another basic out so I knock the Shiftry out ftw.
2-0
Round 3: Pedro [Nidoqueen(MT)/Nidoking/Dusknoir)
He gets a very slow start and I get a medium one. I decide to read Crystal Beach while searching my deck just for fun and realize that the energy doesn't have to provide every type to be reduced to one colorless. I play four Boost so I will have to play around that mistake for the rest of the tournament. Then I get a caution for taking Castaway back to my hand with the cards that I got with it. He eventually gets a Rare Candy and makes an impressive comeback. Time is called and we're tied in prizes. I'm able to knock his Nidoking out so I win.
3-0
Round 4: Michael [Feraligatr (MT)/Magneton/Delcatty]
I get an excellent start and he starts with a lone Totodile. I win T2. We play a fun match afterwards and I get no Chanseys/Supporters the whole game. It ends with him doing 280 damage to my Happiny.
4-0
Round 5: Michael P. (Mirror)
I start with Happiny and he starts with Riolu. I go first and Baby Evolution and attach to Chansey. He attaches a Buffer Piece to Riolu and Wild Kicks. Instead of attaching a Boost to Chansey and using Double Edge ftw I evolve to Blissey and use Happy Chance for the not win. He gets a Lucario and pulls ahead. I can't catch up and lose. That's definitely the worst misplay I've ever made.
4-1
I make top cut and while waiting for Kevin to finish deck checks I watch Spencer, Michael, Luke, and Dan play a ferocious game of Candyland. In the end Dan wins and Michael gets second.
Top 4
Jason(Rampardos/Lucario)
Game 1
This game lasts 40 minutes. I don't remember any details but I lose.
Game 2
He starts with Skull Fossil(Active) and Riolu. I start with Happiny. He discards the Skull Fossil and brings up his lone Riolu. I have an energy on Happiny and a Boost, TV Reporter, and a Mentor in my hand. I put my hand on TVR to try to draw the Chansey attach Boost ftw, then I realize I can Mentor for the Chansey so I do and get a T2 win.
Game 3
I don't remember any details about this game either, but I think i got a caution at some point in our three games. The third game goes into Sudden Death and I win.
Top 2
Michael P. (Mirror)
Game 1
I don't remember much but I win.
Game 2
I don't remember much but I lose.
Kevin brings the prizes over and sets the eight packs and Victory Medal next to Michael and the three packs next to me, that meanie.
Game 3
I think he mulligans five times. This match goes into Sudden Death too, my third of the day. I think I'm going to lose because he'll level up and Close Combat my Lucario ftw, then I realize his Lucario only has one energy. I attack, he levels up. I level up. He can't knock my Lucario out, so I knock his out and win.
Props:
Opening Electivire Level X

Slops:
Expensive food
Spilling my drink
Overlooking my T2 win
Me, for forgetting my opponent's names
Me, for forgetting to return the reverse holo TVR and the sleeve(I'll mail them to you or Kevin if you want)
