The night before i'm out partying with friends till like 3 at night. I had a Gigas built previously which has placed many times, but I wanted to make a few changes. Get home at 4, grab deck, fall asleep with it on my lap, wake up with it spread all over my bed. Cool. Grab my stuff, take a shower, and Jon picks me up for a day to remember, lol jk this is like my 10th win. ANYWAYS, I remove Honchkrow SV bekawz it serves no purpose when I can just run more consistency. I decided to finally run Twins. I ran 2 copies of it. There was 1 Vilegar, 1 Mewperior, 1 Gigas, and a billion Luxchomp. Yay.

Round 1 vs Robert V. (Luxchomp)

So a pretty good matchup. Luxchomp is an interesting match. Every Garchomp C they bench is a free prize basically. The game started and we both had pretty solid starts. I get T3 Gigas while he has a bunch of SP Pokemon. We start exchanging prizes. I keep a tight Psychic Bind to try to avoid getting Bright Looked, and it works. Huge misplay occurs when I expert belt Relicanth SV, and attack Promocroak thinking that it deals 90 damae for the KO (2 tools), but it deals 80. That gives him a bit of a chance to take some prizes. I retreat my 'Canth and start attacking with another 'Gigas, and the game comes down to me taking 2 prizes in overtime. I sacrifice, bat KO Bronzong G, and drag off Luxray with 30 damage for the KO. GG!

1-0

Round 2 vs ??? (Gyarados)

He flips Combee. I flip Uxie. Expert Belt, collector for Crobat G, and attach. I'm so good... =|

2-0

Round 3 vs Richard F (Charizard)

I flip Uxie. He flips Charmander and candies to Charizard. I draw nothing but energy and recovery cards and he Seeker Donks me. =/

2-1

Round 4 vs Tony D (Absol G Toolbox)

I get a T2 Giga Blaster and Seeker donk him. Lame.

3-1

Round 5 vs Jon V (Luxchomp)

We play the game out and basically I lose with one turn left to take a prize, I whiff on an expert belt. He scoops to me because he made it anyways.

4-1


TOP CUT;
I make top cut as #2 seed. I play Gyarados again.

Top 4 vs ??? (Gyarados) ;

Game one I spoonfeed him prizes as I tear through everything. He Twins' the last turn of the game, but it doesn't matter because I show the warp point in hand to seal the game.

Game two is a bit different. I get a horrible start and he goes Aggro Luxray GL X, taking 3 prizes. I Twins to stay in the game. Once I get setup, we start exchanging and I start spreading quite a bit. Eventually, I needc to take two prizes to win. He has an active Belted Luxray GL LV X and I have a Gigas with 4 energy on it, but not the correct ones for Giga Blaster. I need to deal 130 health. I Uxie for 3 and rip a card that I had been struggling to play for awhile; Black Belt. I have a Crobat G in hand, play down Black Belt, and KO Luxray for the win. Boss.

5-1

Top 2 vs Jon V (Luxchomp)

Game one:

We both start great and begin to exchange prizes quickly. The action heats up as I take a prize on a Garchomp. He has me in a very tight bind and it is 5-1 prizes him. After one well timed Judge and Abomasnow with a belt spreading for 4 turns straight, he scoops. Game is insane.

Game two; Isn't very exciting. Jon misplays quite a bit, and I catch him pretty dirty with Abomasnow again. I was at a point to take 3 prizes for the game but he scooped. Great games, Jon!

6-1

So I win another city! Yay!

Props:
Jon, pokebiffs <3
Abomasnow
1 Blackbelt, so boss.

would you mind posting or pming me your gigas list? :p i never understood how it actually worked to be a deck but im super interested now...
 
Congrats Kevin , great job ! yeah that 1st match vs. Robert was epic . It was fun to see the matches from the judge perspective this time , you still learn a lot and have fun . Gigas is a great card ( specially the Drag Off flavor ) , let's see if the new cards on the format let him live longer so it can see play in States and on .

See you guys in Cocoa Beach soon.
 
Thanks for the love everyone.

Roberto, I am PRAYING that Gengar just disappears! Gigas would have a clean sweep through worlds!! Lol
