today was the last tourney for new england. i woke up knowing the tourney wan an hour later than it normally would due to the snow storm. i get my family and con le up and ready to go. since it was 9:00 am and tjs collectables was 30 minutes away, i knew i would have time to fix my list and playtest. me and con play for a while to find all the faults in the deck and any ways to make it better. we leave around 11:00am and get there in time to say our hellos and sign in.
today, i was playing a fixed version of my machamp.
don't feel lie typing the list, it is on my previous posts( just alittle different)
round 1:
johnny blaze with tangrowth
he gets an alright start but i had unknown G stopping all the effects of the attacks. i get the machamp x set up with weavile, and palkia and a special dark and one shotted all the tangrowths preventing his set up.
1-0
round 2:
rob (loser) with tangrowth
i have a horrible set up and he has the oppotunity to get a good set up. i have a baltoy in my hand and i have to call for an uxie so that i can level up and get some draw power. like his reputation permits, rob wifs on ever drawing any set up and i win the game.
2-0
my mom bought a pizza and we all gather around to eat and discuss our battles. there is a new game called epic being tested around which i heard was a relly good game so i look at the way it is played and discuss the chances of me and my brother trying it.
round 3:
mary with tyranitar
the only thing i hoped for in this matchup was that she wouldn't be able to donk me with sableye. i start with uxie which prevents that and get set up for the win.
3-0
round 4:
matt with leafeon sceptile
i got t1 machamp due to double drawer and take 2 prizes and level up to take the rest.
4-0
round 5:
tyler with kingdra
he got t1 kingdra against my palkia baltoy, thats as far as ill go
4-1
round 6:
adam with torterra
he got a slow start and couldn't get his sceptile set up. i only played 3 bench the whole game so he couldn't dusknoir out. machamp x won me the game.

round 1:
jon with obamasnow
i got t2 champ against his bad start and took down his basics putting me too far on prizes for him to catch up.
game 2:
he got his ideal start of t2 obama, claydol, and mesprit lock and sweeped my board.
game 3:
i got t1 and machamp due to double drawer and got the early prize..... he was able to come back with obama and omastar to tie the prizes up. time was called, to win the game i needed 2 heads with my machamp x against his obama....... and i got them.
6-1

round 2:
con le with mirror match
he gets the god set that nothing can beat i knew that i was fighting a losing battle, but did not scoop. he won regardless.
game 2:
i get the god set up and he has the same turnout as i did the game before.
game 3:
the game come wicked close, but due tu an early 20 that i do to his claydol with uxie when time was called i won by flipping 2 heads off hurricane punch.
7-1

round 3:
tyler with kingdra
he gets the t1 kingdra on me. i try to stay in the game, but he has put me in too much of a deficit to come back
game 2:
i choose to go second and he gets baltoy start... my hand was machop. 3 fighting, palkia, rare candy, and switch. i put palkia first in case of the smokescreen. draw a pokedrawer and off that i got luxury ball. i switch rare candy machamp for the DONK!!
game 3:
if he didn't donk me this game i knew i had to get set up. he got t1 kingra, but i had 3 bench. i got the machamp, weavile and claydol next turn and do 40 to kingdra. next turn i get the palkia and another machamp ready, level up and knocked out the kingdra. when he killed the x i got the palkia weavile engine and start taking the prize lead. when there were no more basics to kill there were 2 claydols and 3 kingdra on his bench. i only had 2 prize left. i night maintenance and get the x back. palkia out his claydol and 100 shot it with the x. next turn he scoops up his claydol and kills my x. this was my situation, i had machamp wiith 3 energy active. double claydol on the bench with palkia weavile. to win i premier ball and attach a special dark to machamp, i dark engage and rage for 130. whoooooo
8-1
