The week before at AL States I did so bad..on the long drive home I remembered advice Jim Roll had given me in the past.... I was convinced of the changes I was going to make in my kids decks and mine! The night before FL States..I don't test much the night before, I think I played 2 games with my daughter Destiny...I watch my son Lorenzo,Gavin,and Destiny play Just Dance 4 and watch Duck Dynasty I get only 4 hours of sleep. I figure I'll just play my daughter's deck since I spent the most time on it and Darkrai/Lasers was a deck I felt comfortable with. I didn't want to embarass myself after winning FL States last year so I sleeved it up accepting the fact that KK and Lando would give me fits but I figured I would at least have some fun. I see there is only 170 Masters this year kind of down from the year before!
W Game 1 vs Lugia EX and friends (scramble switch deck with big basics, I never knew what was going to attack me in this deck!)
W Game 2 vs Quad Sigi/(w/Tornadus EX Tech) (probably the most annoying game ever...he only benched 1 Tornadus the whole game to wipe out my sableyes...but I got just enuff KO's to win)
W Game 3 vs Accelgor/Gothitelle/Darkrai/Dusknoir (Broke thu the lock and KO'd Dusky and benched Gothita sealed the deal)
W Game 4 vs Klinklang (turn 2 Night spear with lasers online from turn 1)
W Game 5 vs Tornadus EX/Coballion EX (I win a close one....her deck was legit and actually could hang with a KK....very imprssive build)
W Game 6 vs Landorus/Tornadus/Mewtwo/Terrakion/Bouffalant (He had to juniper away 3 max potions early,and he had no choice because he was going to get benched if he had got to play ANY one of those cards he would have likely won.
W Game 7 vs Darkrai/lasers (Like any mirror it's boring and just who draws better and i do just that and he doesn't take a prize
W Game 8 vs Landorus/Garbador w/lasers/giant cape AND max potion (I'm very fortunate at the end of the game he only needs 1 prize and I need 3. I thin out my hand play N to 3 and Dark Claw laser his Giant Caped Landours with 3 energy for a KO he has another Landorus with a cape (most annoying card ever) but I night spear it twice for the win barely gettin the win)
Top Cut
Top 16 vs Jim Roll
W Landorus EX/Bouffalant/Lugia EX (This deck is FRIGHTENING , math is almost TO perfect,very creative deck
Game 1 I have so much damage on his board 170 on 1 Pokeon 150 on 2 others but I can't accelrate (2 patch 2 e-switch prized) He Plasma gales for game off the Scramble switch
Game 2 He draws dead and I don't
Game 3 I get REALLY setup ...towards the end I had 3 Darkrai out all with 3 energy
Top 8 vs Jorge Ramirez
L vs Landorus EX/Tornadus EX/Tornadus (justin Sanchez.deck)
Game 1 Hard fought game.....I'm always just slightly ahead of him .....and win a close game
Game 2 Goes down to the wire...I played N to drop him to one card. I figure the odds of him drawing one of his 4 energy left in 25 to 30 card deck left is really low. I hit him and He has 150 Damage and is asleep and poisoned going to his turn,he wakes up and on his turn draws an energy off his card fo the turn to Land judgement me for game.
Game 3 Goes to time nearly as soon as it starts which is bad when I start Sableye. I do start night spearing but he casts aside my damage like it's nothing with 3 Max potions. He plays Juniper draws Bridge,DCE,Catcher to win game.
