Yah so I never play in any pokemon tournaments but seeing as you win cash for this one I decided to play in it. (I play in BR and Cities but not locals cause you dont win much)
So on the friday I went and met up with Bidier and Paul and played around a bit at the store. Then we went back to Bidier's place. He decided to run torterra/sceptile thing and I wasnt sure what to use cause I didnt know much of the new stuff or what was still considered "good". Eventually Henry and Sam came over they all made decks and I decided to use Banette cause it beats everything. Henry decided to use the same thing as me.
Get a few hours sleep and am ready to go.
We get to the event with a lot of time to spare cause it is literally across the street. I look around and say hi to everyone and check out what people are running. GG and Grass are looking like the most popular.
Round 1
Malcolm vs Bidier
Lol sup Bidier. I cant remember too much cause it was pretty fast. Although he can just draw windstorms on command I still was too fast for him and shut him down fairly quickly.
5-0 prizes (stupid tackle)
1-0
Round 2
Malcolm vs Ted
I started off hella fast as usual. Ted was running grass with tangrowth. Too bad he couldnt get the energies over fairly quickly.
6-0 prizes
2-0
Round 3
Malcolm vs Gatr guy
He was running only 1 windstorm so Crystal Beach+cessation>him
Obviously didnt last long
6-0 prizes
3-0
Round 4
Malcolm vs James (Dark Deck)
Ok my worst matchup and he just beat henry. He used that weaville card and made blissey dark so dark blissey vs banette = *****. He was only running 1 or 2 windstorm so my cessation and beach would be key. Also I dont like blissey decks because they take WAY too long to set back up after a blissey dies.
I opened with a good hand and so did he. Prizes were in my favor 4-5 and he made a mistake. I played copycat and he thought it was galactic and shuffled his hand back. Obviously it should be an auto gameloss but I didnt wanna win like that so the judge gave a 2 prize penalty and I took his work for how many he shuffled back in. I took it quite easily from that point on.
4-0 prizes
4-0
Round 5
Malcolm vs Jonathon
First GG of the day so I was feeling confident. Banette should never lose in this matchup and Jonathon and I have a lot of fun when we play so its extremely casual. I dont remember much but I won losing a banette in the process to stupid confuse ray and sleep lol.
5-0
So I am in top 4 at first place. My opponent is Jonathon
Game 1 I won turn 2. First time of the day YES!
Game 2- He had a bad hand but found out his son was in finals of junior so he didnt really care. I won after being asleep for like 20 turns.
6-0
Finals
Malcolm vs Bidier
Me against Bidier again. He rocked James cause Torterra is an absolute beast.
Game 1- Well my deck is a horrible matchup for him and I take it after some rough tackle hits. I tried hard to gameloss him but it didnt work =[.
Game 2- He had no time to get setup at all and I just ate up the prizes. I was playing "slowly" and Bidier tried to gameloss me but got a warning in the process lol. Great judging by Patrick. Yah so after a while of playing around I won and got mah prizes which were pretty cool.
7-0
It was fun winning my first provincials and not having any of my opponents being asses today for a change. (mainly cause the only one who is wasnt there)
Maybe Ill go to regionals but Ill wait and see.
