Well ya after having about 1 hour of sleep and about 6 monsters i was ready to go to states. I got there early and played against some people. Well before i knew it r1 was here.
My goal was 2nd
I decided to play mortar


Round 1 Clay C.(~Blazi-King~) mirror

I knew this match wasnt going to be easy until i saw his opening hand. I basically just got the X out and kept sniping every where the energy was. it basically came down to me Vs his X with 40 on it. So i rare candy skitty into delcatty ex constrained and then upstreamed for 130

good game clay

1-0


Round 2 Philip C. Tangrowth
Well i knew this match was going to be one sided mainly because of his weakness to fire, and i was right.
Fireball Bazooka overran him and there was damage EVERYWHERE.The last two turns i grabbed all 6.


2-0


Round 3 Roy Jr. GG
We start off the game with him getting like 20000000 mulligans. and the game begins BUT OH NOES
he forgot his prizes while we were still setting up. He calls the judge over and its game loss. I felt bad but we decided to play out and i would have won, but i still didnt want to win like that.


Sorry about that Roy.

3-0


Round 4 Dana L.(Mob2099) Bancario
Now what can i say about this game. POOP. i got the usual start but he starts getting early prizes while im spreading damage then he lays a crystal beach so im like cool ill just grab my other ty, but cynda quil is prized =(. Towards the end it was very close but he managed to pull through and win.


3-1


Round 5 Tina M.(homeofmew) GFG
She gets a t2 gallade and starts flipping prizes. While i just spread the damage and go for the ko. she scoops.


4-1


Round 6 Macon Electivire/Catty
In this game i just used my scrambles to over run him. and built my bench because he cant snipe it =).
The game goes in my favor when i start Burning the active vire and Flame Blustering the Motor Drive one. Good Game Macon.


5-1



Round 7 Jordan D.(Whicker) Mirror
We both shake hands, then we brag about whos hand is worse lol. It takes us both like 4 turns to finally get started . I have no clue how i won this but i did.

Good Job Jordan and yay for finally meeting u.

6-1

4th Johnny K 6-1
5th ?????? 6-1
6th Kyle 5-2

T8 Kyle Inferncatty
I start with a pachi and immediatley go on the offensive flame blustering every infernape he dropped and he kept whiffing on burn.So i drew my prizes pretty fast.


Game 2 Pretty much a repeat of the first game.

Good Game and Good Job kyle


7-1




Top 4 looked like this
Vincent vs Me
Johnny vs Jordan




Game 1 Vincent O. GG
Well my deck decided to prize a lot of the cards i need to win this matchup. So i basically played the game with no delcatty and 1 typho and 1 mortar. So the game was pretty easy for him.


Game 2 Again my deck craps out on me. I decided to scoop flipping over my prizes and there it was 2 Mortar, 1 Mortar x, 1 Magmar, 1 Fire and a copycat.



GG Vincent


Well i made my goal which was 3rd. Pretty Good Turnout and im proud of tx for not playing the BDIF and playing something different.




Props
Me getting 3rd!
7-2
Magmortar my love <3
Meeting the OK crew.
Cam's Japanese pachis i love them so much.
Steven for winning seniors
Kettler for winning
Like 20 monsters in 1 day i thought i was going to die
Steve for helping me with my list
Brent,Mike,Peter, TJ, Clay and Brian for helping me with everything


Slops
Clay doing very bad
Cam for doing very bad
Me getting an Auto win against Roy
Me getting probably the worst prizes i have ever seen in my life.


thats it and yes i know the report is probably boring because i cant write anything interesting to save my life.
 
RE Mike: I was 5th seed. 4th seed was Cobi Dickman (?) I believe with Gardelade/Furret/Dusknoir.

Anyways, great job my lil albino buddy from Houston.
 
Good job on 3rd place. I was hoping for a Team San Antonio 2 peat but Vince came up short. It's hard to beat a champ like Johnny. All in all a very good showing of sportmanship and game play. I didn't have to use up any ink for penalties at the top cut. See you at regionals Adam.

4th seed was Corey Dickman. You were close, however.

Good job Adam, nice to finally meet you.
 
Man, I ran the same deck tat I ran in OKC and did HORRIBLE Saturday in TX.

Heres the breakdown of what happened:
OKC: All Games Pachi Starts
TX: 1 of 7

OKC: No Prized cards that were crucial.
TX: At least 1 card in the 3 losses were crucial.

OKC: Topdecks were present,
TX: NO Topdecks ALL day...

OKC/TX: Same deck, no changes.

Suffice to say, Luck was not there for me...Who says, luck doesnt play a HUGE part in this game?

Great Job Adam...Im sorry to say my 2nd Place Trophy is better! :lol:

<3<3<3
 
Dana Didnt Get 1st It Was Johnny Did, And I Didnt Think Those Game Were Easy You Shouldnt Sell Ur Self Short Like That And Johnnys Games Were Good But Its Kinda Hard For 2 Gg Deck Going At It And They Have Lb But Oh Well 2nd That Has A Ring To It Right. Kinda But Yea It Was Johnny, And We'll Play Again
 
RE Vincent: Adam was just posting back how swiss went I believe.

I owe you all a report (as well as one from last week), but until then, gotta give Adam his props. :thumb:
