Hi!
Ok, this report is really just to get rid of that annoying ...it appears that you have not posted on our forums in several weeks message that greets me every time I check in.
I won a Battle Road today, so I am using that as an excuse to post. I played Kingdra, so how much can you learn from reading this report??
I was out of the game for most of the 07-08 season, but come DP-on I picked up on the game again. I've tested Leafeon/Magmortar, Torterra and a few other decks, but today I was torn between AMU and Kindra. AMU is more food for thought, but Kingdra is a beast, no doubt about that. I took a chance that not everyone was playing anti-Kingdra decks and went for the water dragon.
Round #1 against Kim Erik (Ho-Oh/Togekiss)
We got set up reasonably well both of us and he got a Ho-oh loaded turn 3ish. However he has to flip right on Ho-Ohs power since Kingdra is a OHKO even with Snowpoint temple out. That just doesn't happen. I think he flips tails for the first 3 flips and shortly after concedes due to his failing luck.
1-0
Round #2 against Live (Kingdra/Blissey/Metagross/Regice)
Since my deck is just a straight-forward build I have better chances of getting a good set-up. I was ahead from the first turn. And when she finally got set up there was little chances to get even on prizes.
2-0
Round #3 against Stian (Torterra/Sceptile)
Ok, this deck can be a challenge with water-resistance and all, but when he has a turn 2ish evolved Sceptile and Torterra, I knew the game was over. Nonetheless I fought to the end, and managed to make the game last for about half an hour. I was one PlusPower away from KO on a Torterra that might have turned the game somewhat in my favor, but I didn't get it...
2-1
Round #4 against Steffen (Houndoom)
The deck can be a nuisance doing a 100 damage turn 2. He got the first two prices, but once Kingdra started swarming there was no way to Bubble Coat Houndoom out of a defeat. I think it went from 0-3 in prices to 6-3 or something like that.
3-1
Round #5 // Top 2 in Masters against Stian (Torterra/Sceptile)
Ok. We have an hour to do a best of three and I hope he doesn't have the same luck as he did during swiss. It turns out that is not the case. We both misplayed a lot turning the first game, but even though I miscalculated an Aqua Stream by 10 damage I won the first game after 45 minutes.
Game two he has a much better set up, so I just concentrated on making the road as tought for him as I could. He was down to two prices when time was called. I had about four.
4-1
Props:
- Nice prices
- Getting back into the game
Slops
- Someones cellphone got stolen...
Well, that's all folks. Thank you for your time!
