Pikamaster's 2nd place Glen Burnie report, I didn't get a single horsea start

Now I wouldn't be doing this, but since I got second I feel obligated. The night before I get all the cards I have for DrMario's Kingdra and find I'm missing 4 Roseanne's and 2 Uxie, so I have Mamoswine ready as backup. Get there at around 11 and get to work finding those cards. Thankfully I found a person that had 3 Roseanne's and Mike and Nick had the Uxies and the other Roseanne's I needed. So we here that we get a lunch break after round 2, and hear about the Unown G ruling for Machamp and Take Out on a basic doing no damage, then we started round 1.

Round 1 VS. ??? with Raichu, Plusle, Minun, Manetric

Baltoy start, the first of many, but I Roseanne's for horse and get T3 Kingdra and start killing all her basics. She drew one prize, but the Kingdra swarm soon overwhelmed her.

1/0

So my Uncle who just started playing Pokemon is there and for an early Christmas present I bought him a booster. Of course he got a Raichu lv. x when I said I'd scream if he got a lv. x, so I screamed. Not loudly, but I did.

Round 2 Vs My dad with Machamp

Before we start the battle he asks me if I want him to let me win and I said no, let's just see how the battle goes. I started with Baltoy and went first while he got a Machhop. Apparently he had Rare Candy Machamp T1, but didn't do it. So I get Kingdras out pretty quickly, but when it got to one prize card left for both of us, he didn't level up and use revenge for the ko, so he let me win. So I had to get top cut after that.

2/0

Lunch break

We go and get some pretty good pizza across the street and get back before round 3 starts.

Round 3 Vs ??? with Regigigas

Now I'm not how sure I'm going to win, especially when I start with a Baltoy again, but he only ran 2-2 Regigigas and both the non lv. x ones were prized. So I get Kingdra fairly easily and start attacking, but he gets Azelf and Time Walks for the Gigas then next turn levels it up, Sacrifices and starts Giga Blastering. I get down to one prize after he Sacrifices to stay alive multiple times and eventually kill the Lv x. GG.

3/0

Round 4 Vs red face paint Archetypes wife (Can’t remember her name)

Now she beat me last week with her Machamp, so I had to even the score. I get Baltoy start AGAIN! I get Uxie lv. x with Unown G attached out and feel confident that she won't kill it with her Machamp's hurricane punch, but I was wrong. She gets 4 heads. >_< But I soon get Kingdras faster then she can replace her Machamps and draw the last prize.

4/0

Round 5 Vs Mike P. with Regigias

We both get Unown G to start, but he gets set up first and Kos everything I have. Not much to say about this one.

4/1

So I make top cut and guarantee myself and my bros another 1-2 hours of being there.

TC Round 1 Game 1 VS Javier S

Game one I start with Baltoy, but I get a T2 Kingdra and start attacking T3 FTW.

1/0

Game 2 was basically the same, but he gets a Machamp out there and flips 4 tails for Hurricane Punch. I kill his Machamp with Aqua Stream and Dragon Pump everything else FTW.

Mike P won his games against T-tar, but not until I sat around for a while with nothing to do due to the fact that my games took a total of 24 minutes.

TC Round 2 Game 1

He gets Unown G, and so do I, but he keeps me in a Mesprit lock the entire game and I only get a few Kingdra and lose.

Round 2 Game 2

I really can’t remember what happened in this game, but eventually he gets down to a Gigas lv x and a Palkia Lv x and Snowpoint when I have a Horsea and Uxie lv. x 10 HP away from death with 1 prize card remaining each. I Rare Candy into a Kingdra, but he kills it, so I send out Uxie lv. x with 2 energy. I get to Trade Off and get an Uxie, so I use Set Up for 6 cards. I draw a Warp Point, an Energy, a Plus Power and some other cards, but the Plus Power, Energy and Warp Point is what I really need. I Warp Point and send out Uxie and he does the same. I retreat, attach the Plus Power and Zen Blade for the KO. So it gets to game 3, but time is called almost immediately after he draws a prize from Gigaton Punch. So I get second, get a Darkrai hat and boosters.

Props~

Apparently being sadistic
making all the aardvarks wait

Slops~
Playing my dad
Being so tired
Not being able to remember my TC matches
Being called sadistic (Even if it’s true)

No he can't, he didnt bribe his dad (or at least didnt say so), a player can forfeit a game at anytime he wants.
 
Dont want to spam your thread, but which unown g ruling ? Can't find anything about that one :confused:

I assume he's referring to the errata that G only protects against effects from your OPP attacks, not your own.


Good job in the tourney! I hope to see you guys this Sat.
 
^Yeah. I need to edit that in. And it looks like to me that someone had a post deleted. Otherwise Yoshi- would be responding to something that wasn't there. And I don't think we're going to a tournament Saturday. I now we're going to one or both in January, but I don't think Saturday. And Yoshi- is right. I didn't ask my dad to lose, he lost on purpose because, as he said, he felt sorry for me. Anyways, he didn't concede, he didn't KO my Kingdra for the last prize and let me KO him. I'm the one who was saying DON'T lose on purpose. Not that I'm sad about him not listening to me now...

Theres a tourney on Saturday??

Link me to it please.

Or I guess I could just go look it up myself.... :tongue:

And to think, I could have used this deck. -_-
 
Wow, you gave everything you had to beat Pramawat. I kind of felt sorry for ya at the end of that second game.
You did good. I just guess that Kingdra wasn't the right play.

Oh, BTW, this is the part where I mention you found a Slakoth [PK] and put my face on it. Keep it up.
 
^All of us have or moments, and don't think that Darth isn't sadistic, he has his moments, lot's of them.:tongue: I'm usually not THAT sadistic, but it helps when I'm tired.
 
I played kingdra in the SAME tourney as you pikamaster and i got my but KICKED! LOSS, WIN, WIN, LOSS LOSS Losses were to bronzong, regigagas, and Machamp. Gigas and Machamp I had one prize left in each....
