The night before of the Battleroad at Comicazi , I decided I was going to play Donphan for it. I'll post the list at the bottom but actually READ THIS! I was teching a 2-2 Tric and a 1-1 Claydol. I fall asleep and woke up at 9:30, wait NINETHIRTY? I hop into the shower and put my bag together. I grab my iPod and I'm ready to go. My friend picks me up and we're on our way. I was currently playing qwith 2 Proxy BTS and 2 SW Phanpy and a HGSS, I get in and say hi to steve the judge, Thomas's dad. The whole team topdeck crew was there. Big competition, Kiko, Azul, and Paz were there but estrella wasn't. I hang out with Afro-G as Gino calls him and getmy 2 BTS and a SW Phanpy. There's 4 rounds top 4 cut.Anyway onto the report.

R1 Andy(Donphan) vs Kiko(Luxchomp) AKA K d Gg
I feel confident walking into this matchup but he's played this deck since before HGSS so I'm not sure. Anyway he goes first and starts ot w/ Luxray Call. He grabs a Bronzong and a Garchomp. I go like all of these crazy plays like a T1 Donphan energy and then I set up. He doesn't have the spray so I grab the belt and nab the first prize. After he whiffs on a Cyrus from a Set-Up he scoops. I ask him why and he says it's an unwinnable matchup, which is definitely wrong.
1-0

R2 Andy(Donphan) vs Daniel(LuxChomp) AKA Konopacz
He 's really scared after witnessing Kiko and I's match.He starts with three basics. I go fast and get good rolls off of Reversals but I use hlaf of my SSU's. Not good. He bright Looks my claydol when I have aroud three prizes left. He starts by my Donphans and Uxies. I couldn't get the trics out.He eventually kills my claydol while Spraying the Cosmics which makes him left with 4 prizes. I make the misplay of dropping Regice and Regimoving the Garchomp so I could get a kill. He Bright looks and leaves the RegiIce up their. He continues to Claw Swipe the Regice twice. He sets up an Uxie X, and I still couldn't grab the SSU's or the Warp Point. He's trade offing for the DCE for endless amounts of turns, and he apologizes for trying to win this way. I eventually draw the Warp but by then it has 80 on it. I bring up my Donphan with a Belt and do 80 to his Garchomp X. That's two Garchomp X's with 80. I have 2 Prizes left. He goes Crobat on the Regice and kos an Uxie. its ties two to two. I send up Tri=cand power Wave for my last two Prizes. GG
2-0

A little later after some Drama with my friend the round goes up.

R3 Andy(Donphan) vs Nathaniel(Regigigas) a team Topdeck member.
This games a bit fuzzy.

He can't do much to my T1 Donphan. I get down to one Prize fast. He eventually Sacrifices his Giga X for lolz FTW!
3-0

R4 Andy(Donphan) vs Thomas(dusknoir) a team topdeck member.

I go first and get almost nothing besides a Phanpy start.. He doesn't have a call or a collector/Rose so he passes. He didn't have anything except a lone Duskull.I draw an Uxie and everything goes pro from their. I draw like BTS Donphan Rose lol. GG
4-0

Top 4.
Andy Team Topdeck
Thomas Team Topdeck
Nathaniel Team Topdeck
Kiko Not team topdeck lol

I'm up against Kiko.
Game 1
I get a t2 Donphan but he doesn't scoop this time! YaY! He gets a Garchomp start and calls for two LuxRays. I get a Reversal heads and clean up his LuxRays fast. After two Reversals his Luxray X's are useless. He gets a Garchomp set up and whiffs on Cyrus. I take all of my six prizes fast. Warp point won me this game.
5-0
Game 2
He chooses me to go first sad face. He goes like Collector shenagagans and gets set up fast. He has 3 SP's and and 2 Sprays in hand. I Judge and get almost nothing. It turns out he didn't get much either. I draw an Uxie and go crazy. I communcate plus rosey for Energy Phanpy and spin the manectric for a donphan. BTS is soo good in fours. I retreat the elctrike for free and eveolve into Tric, and Earth Quake. He eventually just can't draw a thing and i win. Yet again another Warp Point win lol. Thomas lost so i'm playing Gigas.
6-0

Andy(Donphan) vs Nathaniel(Regigagas) Team Topdeck
Game 1
He psychic Binds me a lot and I can't draw too much. He sacrifces the Pixies and rescues them. Sad Face. I eventually get some KO's on a Gigas. But by then he has two prizes. I eventually just steam roll him with Heavy Impact. He scoops.
7-0
Game 2

He starts with a tomb and a Drag Off Gigas. I start out with Phanpy and go first. I have a Bebe's plus energy in hand so I know I get a T2 Donphan. I attach and pass. He Psychic Binds me. I Bebe for Donphan attach and earth Quake. I take my prize its a Tric. I have the Electrike and BTS yay? He sends up a Pixe. I attach and put the Tric on the bench. Heavy Impact. He eventually kills me. By that time I have two more Donphans. He drags up stuff like my uxie when I have my last prize. He used all of his Psychic Binds so I cosmic for a Warp Point and KO for my last prize. GG

My friends drama.

Thanks for reading!
 
Nice job, and I don't think I've ever met you sadly...

Also, why rapidash 4 as a kindgra tech, houndoom g is a better one IMO.

rapidash 4 has free retreat thats why it helps plus you dont attack with it:D



and i nugget i didn't mean that i cant beat donphan its just that when some one gets one up T1 with a E-belt and it'll take me 2 more turns to start hitting you thats when i scoop

you gotta point there, i just think that houndoom G is just more appealing...

any of u goin' to RI next week?
 
if i was playing poketurns and bats it would be different. i know that houndoom counters dialga but i havent had problems with it so far so w/e. i won't be going to ri too far.
 
no i wont be at RI i will be at millford and Nugget you are definitely coming to Lexington tomorrow?
 
Rapidash 4.. interesting.. I have just been going with Kecleon (RI) as you can also hit them for weakness if you need to.

Great Job though! :)
