Okay, first of all I couldn't post this yesterday because I was really busy after the BR and didn't really have time or a computer to do so. 
On the day of the BR, I wake up at 10:00 (after only a 6/7 hour sleep) and then realize that the BR starts at 11:00, so I rush to take a final check of my deck and change a few things and pack up my stuff. Turns out that the changes I made really screwed me up, as I had changed my list to do good against VileGar yet ALL I PLAYED AGAINST WAS LUXCHOMP AND A RANDOM DECK AND NOT A SINGLE VILEGAR! My mom and I then drive to the BR place (which happens to be at my regular league place), hand in our decklists, I buy another Suicune tin (I ended up pulling Magnezone SF #6, Scizor, Shuckle, my 4th Zapdos G, a Rev Holo Cleffa, and a Rev Holo of some other Rare I don't remember, now I feel like running Magnelock.... ), and watch a few games as I wait for the first round to start. We end up getting 10 Seniors, with 4 Rounds and a Top 2 Cut. Me and the regulars from
my league know that there are 2 people who are new-ish to the game in our division, and we all hope to get paired against one of them. Lucky me, I end up being paired against one.
Round 1
Me -> Sablelock vs. Erik H. -> All I saw was Bidoof so.....?
This round was quick, as he got a terrible start (JUST A BIDOOF) and I was able to win on the second turn. He starts Bidoof, I start with Garchomp and go first, I attach DCE and do 30, he attaches and energy and does 40 because of my 2x weakness, then I do 30 more damage for game. I didn't want to do this to him, but he would have KOed my Garchomp and possibly been able to set up if I didn't....
RECORD: 1-0
Round 2
Me -> Sablelock vs. Justin C. -> Luxchomp
This was a very good game, we both get set up and start exchanging prizes the entire game, yet I kept sniping his Garchomp C's before he could level them up, and if he would KO something with Luxray I would KO it with Toxicroak G. He could not top deck a Cyrus the entire game (even though not a single one was prized), which was absolutely terrible for him and was a huge factor in how the game turned out. Overall it was a very good game, and I'm 2-0.
RECORD: 2-0
Round 3
Me -> Sablelock vs. Jack P. -> Luxchomp
Okay, when I see who I have to play against this round, I know I'm screwed. Jack P is the best player in BC, and always seems to do good in every tournament he enters. As I expected, he takes and early lead in prizes and I struggle to catch up. I make a big misplay which he won't allow me to go back on, which pretty much wrecked me. I end up getting 3 prizes, but wasn't able to catch up after his early lead. GG.
RECORD: 2-1
Round 4
Me -> Sablelock vs. Joey G -> Luxchomp with Infernape E4 tech
At the beginning of the game, we each know that (most likely) whoever wins this game has a 50% chance of getting the top cut, as Jack is able to get 4-0 giving him a guaranteed spot in the Top 2. I get off to an early lead as, like all games against Luxchomp, I snipe his Garchomp C's and Luxray GL's early and am able to get a few good KO's on his Infernape E4 and pixies. He manages to get 2/3 prizes, but by then it is too late for him to catch up and I win. GG.
RECORD: 3-1
Now I know that it will be me or my friend JR that will get into the top cut. We both have a pretty even chance, but we don't know for sure. Luckily again for me, I'm in.
TOP 2 CUT
Me -> Sablelock vs. Jack P. -> Luxchomp
Game 1:
This was a terrible game for me. It was simple. I FORGOT MY PRIZE CARDS. So yeah, game 1 over.
LOSS
Game 2:
This game was a bit more even, but of course, Jack was destined to win. I think I got 2/3 prizes, but he pretty easily pulled off the win against me.
LOSS
I was pretty annoyed that I had lost the first game because of forgetting to put down my prizes, but that's just how the game goes. I came in 2nd and got 4 UD packs, pulling total crap in my 1st pack, a Houndoom Holo in the 2nd, another Vileplume in the 3rd (in every single BR I have gotten a Vileplume from the packs that I had won), and some other boring rare in the 4th. Overall it was a great day, I was really happy that I was able to get 2nd and go 3-1 (or 3-2, whatever way you look at it), but angry because I didn't get a Victory Metal and Jack got his 2nd.
PROPS:
-Hanging out with friends
-Pulling a 3rd Vileplume
-Getting 2nd
-Blaziken FB
-Getting decent cards in the Suicune tin
SLOPS:
-Having to play Jack in Swiss and Top Cut
-Not getting a Victory Medal
-Jack getting a second Victory Medal instead of me getting a first
-Not pulling a Houndoom Prime to complete UD
-Spilling my friend's Slurpee and having to clean it up (plus getting REALLY embarassed....)
Hope you enjoyed reading!
