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...

Great job Plaid! good post...it wasnt bad at all. Eric's deck was awesome, as I played him in the 4th rd. He didnt go unbeaten for nothing. Btw...it isn't bad that his mom is Heidi Craig, 2000 World Champ (if memory serves me right). Heidi was one of the Judges at ECSC.

Plaid - Ray plays at our league. He is definately a good player with a great Rogue deck. I dont know how he does it but at League Thurs. night he rolled 4 heads 2x with Beedrill. Good job for 4th and hope to see you at Worlds!!

Oh well, that just shows that Starbyss (and Plaid) can win no matter what the metagame. But mostly Starbyss! ^_^ Juuust messing with ya.

It was cool meeting you. How did Josh do? I didn't get to hang around past the unlimited tournament.

Hope you do great at Worlds!

Hey Plaid, congrats! I'm happy the deck worked out for you so well. Hopefully I'll see you at Worlds. Great job again!

Thanks everyone for all the congratulations! It's the next day now and I am starting to appreciating how well I did. I did get some cheap wins but they were all vs decks I could beat anyway if they got set up. Besides I like easy wins. I was glad I got the right matchups the whole day until T4. If I had faced Meta or Walrein or Sceptile or Shiftry in the T16 or T8 I probably wouldn't have beat em. Fortuanetly my metagaming worked out even though Blaze wasn't so popular and some stuff I didn't expect was played.

Jermy, Delcatty helped his deck a ton. He didn't need to use Copycat at all to get the same hand size as me. He didn't even play Shaman. Delcatty lets you draw UP TO 3 cards to it's good in the deck.

Well things are looking good, I think my parents will let me go to Worlds. Hopefully I'll see everyone there!

Cool you got 4th place. I was kinda doubting you would do that good cause it seemed like a low damage deck but I was wrong. Darn I should've went there and used shiftry :mad: Did Delcatty help that guy out? It seems like it would hurt to discard the energy and it should be easy enough to get the evolutions regularly. btw the 10- WCSC is funny because it's an exact copy of nike's deck and it got 1st :p

Delcatty helps with hand size.

Congrats on coming in 4th!
I made the decision on how to switch starters on the Match play.
It's as fair as any other method.
Hope it didn't throw anyone off...

Many gratz man. I only wish I could have had the chance to play you after all this time. Ah well. I got the fall down invite since I think Eric already had one and so did the person next in line to recieve it. So I'll be there and fighting for the title. Hope I finally get to meet you there face to face and play you at long last. You seem like an awsome player and I'm near certain our game would be one to remember. See ya at worlds ^^
