Hey hey hey:
I just got home and still have a little energy, so here's my report.
Prelim: Hmmm, Machamp or Luxchomp? Or GG? Gardylade wasn't consistent enough for me, so I went wit h the SP deck. Pretty standard stuff except maybe for Honchkrow.
Morning: on time! Nice hotel setting. Free cookies! Hello to all my friends.
Round 1: vs GG : He powerlocked early and even TGW'd me! But somehow made Uxie Lv.X come out with DCE and Lucario for KO. Key came when I did the same to Belted Queen. 1-0
Round 2: vs Magnezone: He didn't get a good start. 2-0
Round 3: vs Jumpluff: He had no luck with Energy and it didn't help that I took all his Claydol and Sprayed everything else. 3-0
Round 4: vs. Jumpluff: Oddly, Josh had the same problem as the previous game. 4-0
Round 5: vs. Gyarados. T1'd his lone Karp. Sorry. We played 2 more and I took 1 of the next 2 also. 5-0
Round 6: vs. Gengar w. Mewtwo Lv.X. I got 4 prizes before his Mewtwo came out, and I was able to get the 2 I needed before it was over. 6-0
OK, so that was pretty cool!
TOP 8: vs. Palkia Lock (Evan): Wasn't looking forward to this. Game 1, he went ahead by 2, but I KO'd his Downer Azelf and took Game 1 when he didn't recover the Downer. Game 2 was similar. 7-0
TOP 4: wanted to play the Gengar or Charizard deck remaining, but I got another Palkia Lock (Kevin Nance). Game 1 was a blowout for Kevin. Game 2 was even for a prize or two, then I pulled ahead, so he scooped. Game 3 was excellent. I took out the Downer early, and we went prize for prize when we could score. He Sprayed wisely as did I. Perhaps I could have saved a Spray for later in the game, but the key was his retrieval of Downer and Toxicroak Promo. So when time was called, he took a prize to go ahead, and I could take one also, but losing to either Palkia or Revenge. Great match.
7-1
My third States 3rd place. GREAT TO SEE YOU ALL!
PROPS:
Jeff for another quality event.
Keith for outstanding judging.
Toni for terrific behind-the-scenes work!
Nance brothers for skill and class.
