Always good to have you R_A and Mr. T
I've been able to get a few people at the beach to consider not being complete "unique snowflakes." I know a few things of note from me for my people at the league:
Congratulations:
-Brandon for making his first Top Cut ever. He kept his new deck fairly secret from me outside of needing a Machamp Prime for like ever. For those of you not local he catches a lot of flack after performing horribly with the LuxChomp World's deck after talking how much his wins would go up.
-Sebastian for going 4-1 with whatever that deck he runs is called. It was a Gator/Kyogre (LA) deck. It surprised a lot of people. Not to discredit, but I know one or two people got caught up trying to figure out what a lot of his cards did. To his credit he tested a lot against my LuxChomp and trying to figure out what his outs were to different things.
-Olivia for Top Cutting Seniors. Shes an excellent player and personality at our league. Its nice to see her grow into a player.
-This is a combo one but to R_A for Chris M. He struggles with a lot of basics and you hyping him up that his one win got him in 4/5 for a prize was a big boost for him. He is incredibly proud of the Magnezone Prime he got from his pack.
-Our apprentice Judge Kim B (who is not the old LL for people who are like "is she back?") she was very eager to learn how to judge and wants to help her daughter by being more knowledgeable to the game. Will be nice to have another VA Beach judge on hand
-Zed provided me much needed laughs last night trying to piece together whatever it was he played. He called me and asked me for stuff during a FFXI raid and I was like "Gotta take it to texts." So he keeps asking if I have random stuff on hand he can use and I'm just like "Where in the world is this going..."
Non League People Props:
-Mr. T- Thanks for putting on a great event as usual.
-The Carolina group. You guys are a ton of fun to be around. At some point hopefully I'll be playing rather then judging for you guys.
-The variety of meta deck players that came. Gave me some insight into a couple of decks I'm working on and gave me new things to ponder.
Slops:
-No snow I was really holding out for a snow day tomorrow, but le sigh.
-Picking the wrong Triumphant boosters got some more Celebi and Electrode Prime for the binder xD
-Having just gotten over a stomach bug and being pretty groggy the whole time.
I'm planning on hitting up Midlo since its the day after my b-day so make sure there is some cake and punch for me
Be the first event I've played in this season hopefully I'm not terribly rusty.
Hey R_A would you mind providing some feedback on this rogueish thing I'm working on. I'm somewhat unfamiliar so advice would be welcome xD
