I wake up at around 9:00, jump out of bed, take a shower, test a little, grab my deck and head out the door. I get to the American Legion Post at around 11:00, fill out my decklist, etc. Before I knew it, the tourney had begun. I decided to play Speed Empoleon.
Round One: Sean ??? with Torterra/Clefable
I flip over a Mantine. He flips a Clefairy active, and a benched Eevee, Clefairy, and Turtwig. I go first, topdeck a Call Energy and search out a Piplup and Baltoy. He RC's Turtwig up to Torterra, attaches an energy to Torterra, and passes. I attach a Holon's Casty to Mantine, Bebe's for a Claydol, and hit for 50. He just keeps trying to power up the Torterra, but I end up winning by Empo LV X's Hydro Impact followed by Warp Point. GG & Happy B-Day.
1-0
Round Two: Aaron Wheeeler with Garchomp
Once again, I start with a lone Mantine and he flips a Baltoy. I Rose for Baltoy and Piplup, attach and pass. He attaches and passes. I TGW, lose, and draw my Claydol, Cosmic power, Evolve Piplup to Prinplup, retreat Mantine and attack. He can't really get set up and it turns out that he had both Garchomps AND the LV X in his prizes. I end up winning by Hydro Impacting everything on his bench.
2-0
Round Three: Alex Haas with Speed Blissey
I have a Piplup start, he with a lone Chansey. He attaches and passes. I Candy to Empo, attach a Water Energy, Roseanne's for Piplup and Baltoy. He gets a T2 Blissey and hits for like 60. I get a little set up and we exchange a few prizes. Then, he drops a cessation crystal. x_x I had NOTHING. Empo active, Claydol, and a few random basics. There is no way I can OHKO him and he can OHKO me. I draw and.... DOES IT!! Topdecked Windstorm, Cosmic power for a new hand, Steven's for 4, and set up my whole bench. Attach an energy to the benched Empo, and attack. WoW.. We proceed to exchange prizes and I Dark Palm him which hurts his set-up a bit. Finally, time is called and I had just drawn my card. He had a Blissey active with like, 60 damage on it. Prizes are tied 2 to 2 and I hit the active with Surf Together FTW. VERY GG Toughest match of the tourney.
3-0
Round Four: Mathew Bickford with Dialga/Raichu/MD Stuff
I got a Mantine start AGAIN. He starts with Dialga. I use Call Energy and search out a Piplup and Baltoy. He attaches and passes. I slowly get set up from there and KO eveything with Surf Together. He really couldn't get anything set up.
4-0
Round Five: Nick Papworth with Empo/Omastar/Cloyster
He flips a Shellder and guess what? Mantine start AGAIN. <___< I get an aweful start, but manage to turn the game around after Hydro Impacting his benched Empo. I really can't remember much of this match other than I got a Dusknoir and Mantine finally set up and between Dark Palm and Surf Together, he really could get nothing and I won. GG
5-0
So, I make the top cut, then find out that there is no top cut.. Oh well..
So I get my 8 packs and Trophy card. I pull 2 Kabutops, Aerodactyl, Moltres, Leaf #7, and Glaceon #5. (The Eevees were in the same pack. lol)
Overall, it was a very well ran and fun event and I had a blast. Now, on to the Props and Slops..
