Alright, my report for Regionals. I went to the Colorado Springs, CO Regionals. I am in the Senior Divison, anyway... here is my Report
I ended up playing Infernacatty if any of you wondered
Round 1 vs. Ethan T. (Garchomp/Blissey)
This match isn't much. However it did take me T3 to get an Infernape, but he can't get a Garchomp to save his life, i OHKO the only Blissey he has to any easy road to victory first round.
1-0
Round 2 vs. Nate G. (G&G)
This game was quite close. However it did take him about T4 to get a Gallade, which pleasantly gave me time to set up an Infernape, Delcatty, and Delcatty ex. And after i used Flare Up to KO his only Gallade, it took him quite a while for him to set up something else, allowing me to get more things. This game came down too where he has 3 prizes, and i had 1, and he had the easy Bring Down on my Delcatty ex. I ended up using Flare Blitz one turn to do 80 too him, then having a DRE in my hand and my Delcatty ex having 2 fire energy on it, i baited him into choosing whether to Bring Down the Delcatty ex or KOing the Ape. He ended up Bringing Down the ex, and i Flare Blitz for the game.
2-0
Round 3 vs. Christian M. (G&G/Furret)
This round wasn't as good. T4 Ape and i get 2 Delcatty and my Delcatty ex before i get an Ape. I attempt to set up, do pretty well, but his Furret start helped him set up 2 Gallade and a Gardy, GG
2-1
Lunch Break, Subway.
Round 4. vs Kendrick G. (Garchomp)
He starts with a Gible. I start with a Chimchar. My hand also consisted of a DRE and a Infernape, just missing a candy. Oh, did i mention the 2 Pokedex? Yeah, he goes first, Push Down. I Pokedex, find the rare candy, T1 Ape Donk.
3-1
Round 5 vs Ben K. (Infernacatty)
I knew this was a Mirror Match. He starts with Skitty, i start with Chimchar. I get almost a Replica of what my Round 4 hand was. T1 Infernape Donk again.
4-1
Round 6 vs. i dunno who (Darkrai/Weavile/Honchkrow)
He sets up a Darkrai Lv.X and Weavile, but i end up setting up a Delcatty, Catty ex and Infernape by T2, sweep at that point.
5-1
I go into top cut Seeded 3rd.
Top 16 vs. I dunno who (Flygon ex d/Tyranitar ex d/Rayquaza ex d/Darkrai)
First game was actually quite a game. He sets up a T-Tar ex and a Flygon ex, Luckily, i ended up running my deck fast enough to Flare up both of them, then Swept at that point.
Game 2 wasn't much better. He only gets 2 Darkrai's, i sweep with 3 Ape's
6-1
Top 8 vs. Joseph L. (G&G)
Here was the challenge. First game was quite a long game, consiting of 3 TGW (which i all won :tongue:)
We just keep switching off turns setting up, but he gets 2 Gardy T2 because i mulligan 3 times. He gets Dusknoir Late game. I lose Game 1
Game 2 was just Ugly. He starts with Ralts and Duskull. I get T2 Ape, sweep from there. 1 TGW that game (which i also won)
Game 3, ******* heck it was close. we go too time tied at 5 Prizes a piece. Active Ape with no energy, 1 DRE in my deck. Lv.X in Discard Pile. I MAKE A LOWSY GAMEPLAY ERROR AND RUN THROUGH MY DECK WITH PREMIER BALL! I didn't have the energy to attempt a Meteor Punch. GG.
6-2
I ran through my deck after the game and found out if i indeed had grabbed the Ape Lv.X from my Discard Pile. Burning Head for Fire Energy, use final Energy Draw, and DRE would have been the 3rd card of the Energy Draw, and i could have done Flare Up for Game
Well, i finish in 7th. Tied my previous record last year, 2 consecutive Regionals top cuts. I'm pretty proud of myself.
Props:
Alot more Rogue than i thought would show up
2 Infernacatty in Top 8 (Ben made Top 8)
5 Utah Masters in Top 16
Slops:
Horrid Gameplay error
G&G wins Senior & Master Divison >.< (oh well)
