Long story short, im an actor and it's my senior year of high school and i have been in rehearsal for one play or another since october 1st. Therefore, i don't get to play much Pokemon cards in tournaments anymore and i get to practice even less. But, states is something you dont wanna miss so i told my director that i would not be at rehearsal on the 14th. However, i had rehearsal every night leading up to it, so i didnt get much practice.

Over the course of the week, i got to play a few games online with my testing buddy, but didnt have a solid list laid down of anything. So i just figured we would do something Friday night and figure out what we are playing. This was my birthday, but dfidnt plan on doing anything. However, my friends threw me a surprise party which was AMAZING - but this meant i didnt get home until 1am. haha. So at about 2am i decide whatever, im playing Galactic and throw together a bunch of cards and just go. I ended up with no uxie in the deck though, but played 17 supporters lol. So at 2:30 i just go to sleep saying forget it im just gonna play and see what happens.

I wake up and grab my stuff and leave because i overslept. On my way i realize i left my metal energy at home on my headboard. This produces two problems - i dont have metal energies and two - i have 56 sleeves with me...ilook on the floor of my car and under the backseat of my bug was a pack of majestic dawn eevee sleeves so i begin to sleeve while i drive lolololol. i call bernie to get 4 metals and then just keep on going.

I get there and registration closes in 3 minutes, fill out my decklist in line, catch up with ajay/drew and then get started.

Round 1 VS ? with Gardevoir/Mewtwo
I get a decent setup and he doesnt counter my Galactic HQ so his guys take a bunch of damage. HE sends up a mewtwo without leveling up at one point so i toxitank him for the knockout. I start drawing dead though and he sets up a plox. He night maintences mewtwo back and then sets him up. I cant respond with dialga g x at this point so im forced to just poison him with skuntank. he starts killing my stuff with giga burn and making a huge comeback. he gets to 4 damage counters so i send up dialga, play crobat to kill his gardy x on the bench with 12 counters, level up, and hit with second strike for 70 with poison killing mewtwo between turns for the win. GG
1-0

Round 2 VS Austin Reed with Kingdra
I wanted to play Austin but not this soon :(. I got first but luckily have 3 basics yay. HE goes and plays 2 pokedrawers immediately lol so he sets up the t1 kingdra. The killer though is once he gets his hand down to 2 he plays a uxie, but since i had 3 basics in play i power spray it and this slows him down immensely. We go back and forth with my power sprays killing his draws and then i hit a dead draw spot. It goes down to 2-2 and i ko his kingdra to make it 1-2. He can kill my active, but dialga x's remove lost would knock out anything on his field so i take the game. GG
2-0

Round 3 VS ? with Skuntank/Mightyena
She does not get setup and i deafen her then second strike and just go aggro dialga X, ending with me benching her out around T5.
3-0

Round 4 VS Seena with Dialga Stuff
I dont wanna reveal too much of his deck, but the attacker is dialga so my croaks and tanks are useless so its a dialga battle to the end. I end up deafening for the first 7 turns and then he brings a dialga up. I'm able to kill one of his techs with crobat/skuntank/remove lost at one point to bring me up, and then he scoops because one of my techs takes out his dialga with 3 metals the next turn. GG
4-0

Round 5 VS Taylor with Regigigas
I get a bad hand he gets a great one with t2 gigas blaster. It goes back and forth but i get his gigas to 14 and have to waste 3 power sprays to stop his sacrfice because i couldnt draw crobat/roseanne to kill his gigas (he benched it). I finally kill it and then he gets another one. We forget bout his unown G and we remove 3 of his energy with my remove lost. I end up winning a close one in the end but it woulda been easier had he not discarded 3 poketurns from the top of my deck at different points with giga blaster. GG
5-0

Round 6 VS Steven with Palkia G Lock
I go supporterless for 6 turns, and end up almost scooping. But i topdeck a cyrus and get back into it with a dialga with metals. I end up 1 prize short of the tie when time was called. Had we played it out i woulda won. GG
5-1

Top8 VS Gigas from round 5

Game 1: He gets nothing, i power spray what little he gets, i win in 5 mins.

Game 2: I get nothing, he gets t2 gigas, i scoop in 5 mins.

Game 3: I choose to go second and know im pretty much gonna lose. He goes, uses call energy on gigas, i draw, and he realizes he forgot to set out prizes. Since he did a deck search its a game loss so i win. I didnt like winning this way but theres nothing either of us could do. WE play it out and as i suspected i woulda lost.
6-1

Top4 VS Kingdra

Game 1: I power spray his uxies, he never sets up, Dialga Sweeps.

Game 2: It goes very back and forth. In the end, its 2-1. I poketurn a croak, send up weavile, play croak/gain/psychic back. retreat weavile, send back croak and ko his active uxie. He's got 8 energy to aqua stream, so he ends up 10 short and toxitank takes the next prize.
GG
7-1

Top2 VS Steven's Palkia G Lock

Game 1: I draw dead, but then hit supporters so i keep on going. I went through 40 cards of my deck without seeing a metal energy. This makes me lose.

Game 2: I draw a little better, but dont see a metal energy until about Turn 10, so its too late, hes done too much spreading. I lose :(

The dream is dead. Haha

Pretty good for a deck built at 2am with extremely limited practic though, eh? :)

Props:
Everyone

Slops:
Drawing dead with 17 supporters in your deck. Im the only one capable of this
going through 40 cards and still be metal energyless
My entire thread getting deleted instead of just my ONE questionable word in my report =/
 
Hey...we called it. I knew it would be you and I in the finals. I really don't think my deck would have won if you had gotten a decent start. This was a really awesome tournament though. You going to regionals?
