Pokémon TCG: Sword and Shield—Brilliant Stars

VA top16 cursegar

so this is my first regional in a long time, i just started playing again. my friends suggested all kinds of decks for me to use such as: GG, cursegar, jumpluff, gyarados, and even gliscor lol. but i couldnt make up my mind. so i choose right before we leave. i chose cursegar (duh) i have only test played it once. but i thought i had control of it. so we leave NC about 6:30 to get to VA on time with enough time to eat. i have had no sleep. but nonetheless i knew it would be okay.

so i get there and do the decklist with some light trading. i needed new sleeves -.-

pairings are up.

vs. mirror (cursegar)
it starts out i get a gastly spiritomb and a baltoy. he also gets the same start it came down to out playing the opponent. i thought i was screwed because i haven't played this deck more than 6 hours. he tried to make up rulings in which the judge said no. he dusknoired me then i candied back into dusknoir for his dusknoir. but time was called and i won due to an expert belt. either way i out play him and win.

1-0

vs. teched jumpluff
i start with mr. mime and stop him from touching me for some time. i built up my bench strong enough and and start the attack once i get him on the ropes he plays shedinja and stalls but i have to use curse gengar to shadowskip doing nothing and poking his bench and then move the damage to shedinja the next turn. i played gengar lvX and knocked out 3 pokemon and won.

2-0

lunch break: hit up mcdonalds for barely anything to eat... so hungry

vs gyarados
i got such a bad hand. but it was managable he gets out gyarados and i play mewtwo lvX with an expert belt for a OHKO and build for two turns and do it again then he knocks it out, i get out shadow room gengar and dusknoir to put away his regice and poltergeist for another prize, then he searches out luxray GL. so on my turn i use lookers saving me, i send a god hand back and he gets nothing. poltergeist seals the deal and i win.

3-0

vs luxchomp
i play my friend who brought me up to the regional. he gets a bad hand i get a pretty good hand i lookers everytime he is about to play either luxray GL lvX or garchomp C lvX i continue to poltergeist for the win. he was so upset but he deserved it since he tried to ruleshark me -.- (lol :D)

4-0

vs luxchomp with techs
i get a shaky start off but he was abke to keep going at me. it is hard to keep up the pace but i get prizes here and there with gengar. we both had one prize left. he used uxie psychic restore to do 20 to me shadow room gengar and i dont get to flip. :( but i realized i could have bebe's for gengar lvX and lived another turn for the win.

4-1
