Well, today, we had our final cities.(Well, for me that is)
This season i had been playing Gyarados and had been doing fine with it. I believe it is a very good deck, and has no autolosses, and only one bad match-up, which happens to be LuxChomp. But anyways, the recaps-

Haltom City-4/2 Overall. (counting top cut)
R1 I played a newer player with Charizard, and T2 him via Seeker. 1-0
R2 I played Megan, who has been playing VileGar all season. She gets a bad start, and she's an okay player, but not good enough because she forgets about Feinting Spell everytime, and so i 6-0 her. 2-0
R3 I played against..(Joe..?) With T-tar. I end up T-2ing his Larvitar for 180 and benching him Via Seeker. 3-0
T2(i know, 3R and a T2..) I make it as first seed, and i'm against my good friend Thomas.
I don't really care in this game, i could have won if i wasn't half asleep. He won first game, i won second, and he ended up winning the 3rd. 4-2
2nd place. Bad packs.

Garland- Overall 4-2 (counting top cut)
R1 I play Austin P. and i have no idea what he's playing and apparently it's T-tar Vileplume(LA.?) and due to his badly played expert belts i quickly take all 6 prizes. 1-0
R2 I once again play against Megan and she is still playing VileGar.
She has both Glooms prized again, so she fails to get out 'Plume and i end up 6-0'ing her once again. 2-0
R3 I play against Catfish with Beedrill G. I get a pretty good set-up, keeping usually around 3 things on the field. It gets down to, his 4 prizes, my 1. I have 140 on my active E-Belted Gdos, and 50 on my Regice via Flash Bites. He flash bites my Gdos, Seekers my Regice up and kill's my active Uxie to pull the win. Scrubs will play scrub decks. 2-1
R4 I get paired down, i believe. I can't really remember. I quickly beat him while i'm like super-mad. 3-1.
I make Top Cut against Jacob w/ LuxChomp.
T2 He rushes me in game 1, making a huge mistake by saying Flash Impact instead of Trash Bolt, and so they made it Flash Impact, i pull up a few prizes but can't keep ahead long enough.
I don't remember the other games.
2nd again, bleh packs.

Plano Overall- 5-2 not counting top cut games.
R1 I play Lauren, who is a newer player. I get a TRASH start and don't get a Gdos out until like turn 6? It was that bad. I end up Seekering for the win though. 1-0
R2 I play against some kid with Jumpluff. I forgot his name, but he was the one i played R1 at Haltom. He never gets out a Jumpluff. 2-0
R3 I play against Jacob. He is still playing LuxChomp, so i of course have a hard time. I don't get a BTS until he has one prize left, and i make a shortcome back to bring it 1-3 his favor. 2-1
R4 I play against my friend Josh with VileGar/Blaziken FB.
He can't handle the Gdos. I use Warp's to help finish Gengar with Uxie and beat him pretty quick. 3-1
T4
Jacob w/LuxChomp
Me w/Gyarados
Erick w/Gyarados
David w/ VileGar Mewtwo

I end up playing Erick in the T4, but after our first game, in which he uses ditto to help him get ahead, and eventually win, we have to leave the library.
We started our 2nd game, and after T2, which he makes a HUGE misplay, we leave to Burger King.
Well, we started to resolve the issue, and it was because, he uses Collector, gets magikarp/azelf/something else? I don't remember. Azelf time walks, grabs Magikarp. Then he trys to Seeker, and picks up Azelf and time walks for Regice. He forgets to put a prize back, and then he Set-Ups i believe for a few cards. Now, everything is out of order, but she rules it as a prize penalty, and we do a sudden death type thing. We go in and both get T2 Gyarados's with 2 Karps discarded and an E-Belt, I kill something, making it 4-6 my favor,
He kills two things, evening it out somehow, and then after Turn 3 it is super sudden death and the next to take a prize wins, i swing at his E-Belted Gyarados that had 80 on it for 2 prizes. This was a very messed up T4. xD

T2 against Jacob. Somehow he beats David, which shocked me. Game 1 he beats me pretty quickly, and game 2 i 0-5 him, lol, and game 3 i can't get a BTS.. He dragon rushes my E-belted Karp and i scoop. xDD
Good packs.. xD

Dallas 1/8/11. (the only date i know from all of them)
R1 i play Austin w/ DIALGACHOMP w/ Luxray tech. He kept saying it was LuxChomp and that made me mad. xD
He try's to donk me but didn't know about Sableye's resistance. I get a quick Gdos out and beat him quickly. 1-0
R2 I play against Joseph? with Shuppet/Kingdra. It's a weird wanna be donk deck. I open with 3 Karps in hand and an Unown Q. I rush him pretty fast getting out E-Belted Gdos and keeping it out all game.
R3 I play against Sean w/ VileGar/Machamp. He doesn't get much out, but he get's a rescue'd Gengar out and kills my Regice. I kill his Gengar and he doesn't get another energy on it.
R4 I play Josh, and i get ahead very early. But after he kills my Gdos via Fainting Spell, i can't get another one off. My Dialga G Lv.X was prized and he level down'd it every time so i couldn't get out a Gdos. 3-1

Pairing come up, and it's Sean and Josh in top cut. Oh well, at least Josh won. I broke my 2nd place streak, which kinda made me sad.
