Alright , so after mossing our flights and eventually getting there and having the airline loose ourluggage I was convinced this was going to be the worst nats ever , guess I was wrong.
Round 1 vs Mike ( Kingdra d+Pidgeot d)
I don't remember much about this game. my deck didn't work at all , but neither did his. I got a better set and demolished him.
1-0
Round 2 vs Johnny Blaze(mewtric)
Once again my deck worked like absolute trash. I called for family via eevee for 5 turns ( Was good tho cause I learned I prized 3 basics). Anyways I finally get some draw cards and start to go off. normally if I get a bum set mewtric would be owning me , however his set was also pretty bad. he missed first turn energy drop.
2-0
Round 3 vs ??? ( LBS)
I get ANOTHER horrible set up , this one however beter than the last.He pulls first turn pidgeot only to have it spider trapped/KOd. I get a fast prize lead and start to pull ahead.He is throwing so many heads its not funny tho. I couldn't seem to kill his mew. mew finally goes down and he retrievers it back. it comes down to me needing to save one flareon and use it again to give me another chance at KOing the new mew. Mary's Request , draw three. Super Scoop - TAILS... Super Scoop - TAILS AGAIN! , Super scoop - TAILS A THIRD TIME OMG!!!!!!!!!
GG 2-1
Round 4 vs ??? ( dragtrode)
Ok , so back from lunch I find my table and sit down. Low and behold - I played this guy last year at nats. I draw my 7 to reveal another terrible hand. I played literally like 4 trainers this game. I somehow get a few flips to go my way and win.
3-1
Round 5 vs ??? (flaridos)
Ok , I got a GOD hand for the first time all day. and luckilly for me I think I have played flaridos mirror more than anyone on the face of the planet.I go for the same usually strategy and take this one pretty handily.
4-1
Round 6 vs ???(LBS)
I get a decent hand. Standard flaridos set I get a few nice sleep flips and trap/evoflame alot. I win this one
5-1
Round 7 vs Jim Roll ( queen)
Jim is a pretty new player. this was his first national level tournament and his ffirst time with queen. He gets a good set. t2 pidgeot I have t1 BFer. He is 1 card shy of winning t2. I get a few things out he can't find anything. This game ended pretty close with him pidgeot swarming when only needed 2 prizes.
6-1
Round 8 VS Kyle Sabelhaus ( LBS)
I get a horrid set again. t2 flareon is helping KO rachis. I have a BF to lock its pretty ugly for me tho as hes building up. to fast forward a bit the game ends like this - He has pidgeot , porygon and stoise on bench. I BF admin him to 1 and then spider trap. He pulls counter gym from 1 card gg
6-2
Round 9 vs ??? ( Meta-Nite)
To be honest since I talked to ericnance on thursday I wanted to play metanite. All he could say was metanite autowins flaridos. I disagreed and said metanite is a very do-able deck for flaridos. anyways needless to say I get standard t2 flaridos and I commence spider trap. I won and laughed at eric =p
7-2 final seed was 8.
So yea , I find out im eigth and I have to play against dragtrode. ok ok , no big deal but the player was NESS!!!!!!!! I had about 5 people tlel me I was all done and that ness was going to own me. I just wanted to go back to my room and sleep.
TOP 32
Game 1 vs Jason K.(Ness) ( Dragtrode)
I CFF t1 for spinarak , All I need is an energy. He has a lone sneasal active. he drags off active I end up not drawing my energy , I drop flareon anyways and he throws tails on the burn flip. so I woulda had it t2. I get owned this game.
7-3
Game 2 vs Jason K (Ness)
Pretty much game 1 except for him. He gets NOTHING I take 5 prizes before he gets a trainer.
8-3
Game 3 vs Jason K(Ness)
We start. he has the lesser of the sets , I get t2 flareon/ariados and KO a sneasal. I just get everything going for me. He hits nothing but tails on burn flips , I eventually win.
9-3
TOP 16
Game 1 vs Jordan D a.k.a Whicker ( Monarchy)
This game is an absolute WAR he gets t2 pidgeot and I waste my BFers countering it.He sticks a ruins for a while and it hurts. I eventually BF Admin him to 1 , I get 2 and spider trap lock 2 basics. he scoops
10-3
Game 2 VS Whicker
he gets absolutly nothing , and I go off. his draw cards fetch him nothing at all. I am killing basics faster than he can get them.
11-3
IM GOING TO WORLDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I see whicker leaving the hall as im coming out. I tell him to hang around maybe hel get a trickle down. he reluctantly takes my advice , and he got the last trickle down spot!!! grats whicker.
