I have an hour to kill right now, so I figured I'd write a report from Sunday's BR to kill some time. Bear with me as this isn't all that thrilling of a report.
After some testing and a couple of unsuccessful matches in Saturday's BR, I opt to take out the Ampharos from my Chomp deck in favor of Meganium d for a more favorable Empoleon matchup. Unfortunately NO ONE was playing that here today, as there were only 10 masters.
Round 1 v. Dackery C. (Magmortar/Catty/Phlosion)
We both had slow starts, but he wins a crucial Wager early after I Furret [my hand that turn was RC, RC, RC Meganium, Mentor) and I had a Gible on bench with energy. :[ I have since decided Furret is a terrible card and only induces Wagers which my opponents always seem to have. I could never find Warp Point this match either, which was huge because I needed to put his Mag Lvl. X out of it's misery with Chomp Lvl. X's power, which never happened. GG.
0-1.
Round 2 v. Eddie C. (Glaceon)
In several matches testing the nights prior to this, we figured out Chomp wins this outright with little to no difficulty. It didn't help I added a second basic Metal to the deck for today [in the car, lol] knowing there'd be at least 2 people playing Glaceon. Turns out there was 4. Good news for me, sorry Eddie.
1-1.
Round 3 v. Jordan (Leafeon/Glaceon/Sceptile)
I got a pretty ridiculous opening hand of Sentret, Furret, Energy and Mentor and proceeded to get setup without much difficulty. He missed a few energy drops and had a really difficult time finding the supporters he needed. He was also running the bad Eevee and Leafeon, so the most he ever did to my Chomps was 50. I Warp Pointed up his last attacker in a Sceptile for the second-to-last KO and all he had left after that was Claydol. GG.
2-1.
Round 4 v. David B. (Glaceon/Leafeon/Omastar)
Another excellent matchup for Chomp, I managed to pick off a couple of his Eevees early, and proceeded to flip trip heads on DARGON PULSE to put everything within range even if I didn't have the necessary energy, or he had the Umby. He promoted a healthy Leafeon, Lvl'd up and KO'd my Meganium d. I promoted Chomp, attached a Fire and OHKO'd, although he thought Chomp only did a 100 with the body. I corrected him, and all he had after that was a Glaceon. He was tearing through his deck with draw to find Night Maintenance/TSD, but to no avail. GG.
3-1.
Only a Top 2 cut, and I got 4th. :/ We drove like 2 hours and all I got was a couple packs of garb cards. We have vowed never, ever to drive to another Battle Road in Indiana as it is a very big waste of money. Sorry Derek!
Props:
Meganium d, even if there weren't any Empoleons, this card is still a beast.
Trip heads on DARGON PULSE.
Everyone for playing Eevee decks. Moar like this, please.
Me, for winning a ridiculous amount of Wagers on both days this weekend.
Slops:
Top 2 being G&G and Magmortar. I'm looking at you, Scott.
Hotel's restaurant being closed, when we all really wanted ice cream.
No restaurants other than fast food and Applebee's in a span of SEVERAL miles from I-69 to I-94. Seriously, that was really lame.
Indiana Battle Roads, as they always turn out the same.
Foisy.
THE END.
