Pokémon TCG: Sword and Shield—Brilliant Stars

Milford tournament report

FREZZA

New Member
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.
5-1

top cut:
1. con le
2. anthony frezza
3. tyler jones
4. alex frezza
5. jon frezza
6. matt choi
7. tiffany mays
8. jon bristow

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

top 4
1. con le
2. anthony frezza
3. tyler jones
4. alex frezza

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

top2:
1. alex frezza
2. tyler jones

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

Nice job Alex, and great to see Anthony in the top cut with you! I must say I was hoping for the T1 Sableye donk as that is the only way my Ttar can go up against your Machamp, but you always seem to luck out and miss the donk! (This tourney it was the round 6 guy who got the donk.) Huge props to MommaRock too for bringing you guys even though she was sick.
 
Thanx guys for all the support for me and my family as good I did all these cities I would gladly have given up any tourney if it meant that tony would have the opportunity to win and be able to tell people that not only does he have an excellect collection, he is an excellent player as well.

I'm that good - i get props & wasn't even judging.... :lol:

Man Frezza top cut was cool (though too bad you had to face your brother first round - Frezza T4 would've been awesome).

Man League should be wild with everyone coming to play test. Thanks for reppin'.
 
We are truly lucky that we play in an area with such a nice group of players, parents, and judging staff, as well as Tom and Judy who make the events possible. It was great getting to know some of you a little better this City Season and I'm looking forward to the rest of the year! The Pokemon Families in this area are the best and a pleasure to spend time with playing the game we love. Thanks everyone for a terrific - Fast - Fun- and Fair season!
 
How many Frezza's did you take the tournament since 3 of you and Con top cut. Nice job on the Win.

Momma Rock has 3 boys that play and a daughter (she did not attend this event) All 3 of her boys top cut and Con. The MA at this event had top 8! It was SO cool!!

Back to back posts merged. The following information has been added:

Thanks Michelle. We hope Dylan is feeling better soon too! Thanks for the offer of some chicken soup! :smile: You should be proud. You have a fabulous family!

Mary you are right! We do have a wonderful NE community!

Angelica told me if I ever put her on the boards she would never talk to me again.. But she just read your post and now I get too. No one knows Angelica plays pokemon.. she to cool for that... But I am glad when she does play. I also forgot to mention Loser, always good to see you too... Matt good to see you too..( crybaby).. I totally forgot ya..
I think there is more to Pokemon in New England then in most places.. We love to battle but we have such an amazing group of people and we all work together.. Whether its Patty L or Patty L bringing Con down or Dave C, we car pool, share cards, deck ideas. We have worked together to make our events larger and with all of our leagues working with our younger players.. what can I say the proof is in the pudding. NEW ENGLAND .......
Momma Rock
oh yeah mad Props to MK Choy for coming down...
Mother of Jon, Alex , Anthony.. Angelica (second mom to Con)

Alex has 4 cities this season
Jon has 2 cites this season
Con has 2 cities this season.
Anthony made it to top 8 and then on to top 4... my true highlight of pokemon season.

Way To Go New England!!!

Hello all! This is my very first posting to "the Gym"! I had to post today because I am so proud to be part of this New England community, and I thank you Momma Rock for including me in your message--your boys "Rock"! Congratulations Alex for your win, and MEGA CONGRATULATIONS to Tony for top 4--you played awesome-ly! :thumb: (I still have the metaphorical bruises to show for it! :rolleyes:) Thanks for the great judging, as always, Mr. Head-Judge Steve! Thanks to Tom & Judy as always for a great tournament (and a spectacularly clean bathroom)! Hope to see you all soon at league (don't forget about Tewksbury on Sunday, too!), prereleases, etc. Patty La (as opposed to Patty Le)

P.S.--May I also add how proud I am of my boys, too!
 
Alex - Major Props to you for winning and your family for being so nice!! We are so happy for Tony to make his 1st T4!! Also I gratefully and humbly accept defeat to you after beating you during Battle Roads!! Im glad you finally found a deck you are great at!! :thumb:
