I'm kinda tired so this is going to be a bad report, but whatever. I used Starbyss in the tourny. Blaze was as rogue as my friend's Castform deck, I only saw 1 or 2 in 15+. Gorebyss was popular. I met a bunch of people from online which was pretty cool. I met Zack, John, Brad, Chris, and Spencer. Ok here's how my games went...
Round 1 vs girl with Gengar/Gorebyss
I had turn 2 Gorebyss which just pwned all her Gastlies and lone Gorebyss.
1-0-0_3 points
Round 2 vs Ray with Crobat/Beedrill
His deck was ok and I thought I could beat it but he got 3/4 heads with Beedrill everytime except for once when he got 2 heads and once he got all heads. It didn't help that I couldn't find any Clamperls. I lost this one.
1-1-0_3 points
Round 3 vs girl with Gardy
All I got out this game were 2 Gorebyss. She got out 1 Ralts, 1 Wobb, 1 Wynaut, and 1 Gex. This was really close and I KO'd everything but the Gex with the first Gorebyss. I Oracled after putting ruins out and I thought she wouldn't play a counter gym. She did which sucked, but luckily I oralced for the right thing, a Copycat. She had a 2 card hand. She couldn't get the boost she needed to KO my Gorebyss for like 3 turns. I barely won.
2-1-0_6 points
Round 4 vs guy with Gardy
All he got out was a Skitty. I got Starmie turn 3 for the KO. I love these types of games.
3-1-0_9 points
Round 5 vs Cory Rhodes (Mr. Fuji I think) with Crobat
Turn 3 my Starmie KOs his lone Crobat. I love these easy games.
4-1-0_12 points
Round 6 vs kid with I dunno
We ID'd as we would both make top 16.
Yay I made top 16. Judges made some weird rule that if you go first one game, you auto go 2nd next game. This actually helped me.
Round 7 vs CFK with Blaze
Game 1: He goes first and like gets stuff going and wins.
Game 2: I get going and pwn him.
Game 3: 2 Catty prized, I win easy.
Round 8 vs Mike P. with Crobyss
Game 1: He goes first, it looks like the game will go his way early but things swing around and I overtake him with a bigger Gorebyss swarm and win.
Game 2: I got first even though he lost cause of that rule they made up. If he went first he wins. But he gets a turn 2 Gorebyss get a prize or two then my Gorebyss OHKO's him in a turn or two. He has no more benched.
Round 9 vs Eric Craig with Shiftry
I'd never heard or seen this guy before, but he was really good. He deck was very well made and he was a good player.
Game 1: I couldn't get enough going to get past his Shiftry swarm so I loose.
Game 2: I thought it was over early but rock TM helped and I almost pulled this out. There was one turn I was going to use TM Rock to KO two Shiftry and get a DRE off a Nuzleaf, but he evolved the Nuzleaf. If he didn't I think I would've had this game. I have 1 prize left and loose.
Round 10 didn't happen...I got 4th because I had less points than John. A trip gets passed down to him. I didn't really mind too much since I'm just gonna sell my box I got to pay for some of the trip. And I talked to my mom tonight and I think she's going to let me go.
So top 4 was Eric 1st with Shiftry, Chris 2nd with Meta, YJ 3rd with Walrein, and me 4th with Starbyss.
Overall I think I did extremely well since I didn't playtest the deck much. I played like 2 games vs Blaze, 1 game vs Gardy, 1 game vs Exploud, and a few games vs my friend's random deck and that was it for playtesting.
Thanks to Brad for assuring me the deck was good which it was. Thanks to everyone I was able to hang with. Thanks to my Uncle for driving us 2 and a half hours there. I'll HOPEFULLY see everyone at worlds...
