After terrible luck at BR two weeks ago, I decided to go to Melbourne DE PR on my birthday. After a 30min drive I arrived at Good Games Melbourne at 11:00am, when registration starts. Just before my mum left she bought me a new folder (a good one, cost $35). After paying the fee to play ($40) I talked to an awesome guy called Bruce who has won three BR and counting (2011-2012 season). I looked at his cards and decided that I wanted nothing. At around 11:45 RaichuGirl showed up to play and to wish me a happt birthday, I did the same as her birthday was in two days time.
At 12:10 the six packs were handed out to everyone, I constructed a deck to the best of my abilities the list is;
1 Raikou EX
2 Minun
1-1 Accelgor
1 Sycther
2-2 Slowbro (I had to fill space)
1-1 Swanna
2-2 Gurdurr
Pokemon=16
2 N
1 Professor Juniper
1 Cheren
2 Ultra Ball
T/S/S=6
3 Fighting Energy
3 Water Energy
3 Grass Energy
9 Electric Energy
Energy=18
Deck Total=40
The list was solid, yet lacked any good water types, a Vaporeon would've been great with my 2 Eevee, cut out the Swana and Slowbro line, add more energy and bam.
I played a practice match while we waited for pairings. (Just a note, the Juniors were mixed with the seniors due to a lack of players (2))
Round 1 Vs James W. w/Entei EX/Blissey/Chatot/Minun/Plusle
Game 1:
I don't remember this too well, other than I won it with Raikou EX and Slowbro.
1-0
Game 2:
I draw nothing really, an energy would've won me the match but I didn't draw it.
1-1
Game 3:
This match was a fast game, he pretty much set up rather quickly with his Entei EX, I lose that one
1-2=0-1
Round 2 vs Lucas w/ Kyogre EX/Torkoal/Minun/???/???
Game 1:
Just get his Kyogre with my Raikou EX and my Minun
1-0
Game 2:
He gets a decent start. I have a better one, in the end Kyogre gets all of my bench :/
1-1
Game 3:
Raikou EX beats Kyogre EX. Just a fast game.
3-3=1-1
I get my lunch of Subway with 15 minutes of the round remaining. Yum.
Round 3 vs Wayne J. w/ Eeveelutions/Herdier/Eelectik
Game 1:
We play for about three prizes (one for me, two for him), then I get my Raikou setup and just keep KOing everything on his side.
Game 2:
After about ten minutes of play he scoops because his feid his barren.
5-3=2-1
Before round 4 started there was a mix up, the board said I was 1-2, not 2-1. After that mix up, everything was better.
Round 4 vs Jordan w/ Blaziken/ Electross/???
Game 1:
Just smashed him.
Game 2 and 3:
I forgot, just smashed in both.
5-5=2-2
After woulds I did some stuff, played some actual matches chatted to awesome people.
