Well, i haven't done a report in a while, so i decided to do one thanks to boredom 
.
This was the morriseville cities at the outlet mall in NC. I had tested a lot leading up to this and i had narrowed it down to two decks. either Tyram or a spin off of CaKE involving donphan. I decided to go with the donphan variant, mainly because there was a ton of Mageel in my area, and i hadn't played rogue in a while. The deck consists of Kyurem, Donphan, and electrode. almost always you want to attack first with kyurem to spread damage around and donphan is your sweeper. Close to the same concept of CaKE.
Oh, and i am in Masters division.
Round 1 v. Stephanie w/ zps
I start double phanpy, and she flips over a thunderus. i didn't take this matchup too seriously though, because this was her first tournament and i didn't want it to suck for her. needless to say misplays were dominant for her throughout this game. She went first, got a single heads on dual ball, which she used to retrieve a zekrom, attached, and used charge. I drew, collectored for voltorb, Kyurem, and my 3rd phanpy, attached to the active, and passed. She dropped a third energy to the thunderus, PONTed for a fresh hand, and attacked me with disaster volt. she ddint note my resistance, so i had a flail Phanpy with 60 damage on it hitting for weakness. On my turn i got the electrode out to Energymite and got 2 water and a fighting off of it. i attached all of them to kyurem, communicated for a donphan, evolved one of my benched phanpy's into donphan, attached a rainbow to it, dropped a rocky helmet on it, and KO'ed her thunderus with flail. On her next turn she attached a single lightning to her zekrom, collectored for some more pokemon and passed. i flailed once more, then proceeded to sweep with glaciate on kyurem.gg
1-0
Round 2 v. ? w/ victini's
This was a somewhat interesting match. he started with a sigilyph (the double turn one) whereas i started lone kyurem. he went first, but was afraid to attack with the sigilyph because of outrage, so he just attached an energy to the sigilyph, dropped fliptini and passed. My turn i collectored for voltorb, kyurem, and phanpy, attached a rainbow to the active and passed. he collectored for the other 2 victinis and a trubbish, attached to the psychic victini and attacked with double turn. He whiffed the first time, but got a single heads the second time. i PONTed and received an electrode, water, communication, kyurem, research record, juniper. a pretty good hand IMO. i evolved the voltorb, communcated for the donphan, research record to assure 2 energy, and energymited. best one of the day, i got 3 fighting, rainbow, and water. drop all 3 fighting to the benched donphan, and the other 2 energy to the kyurem, and i proceed to glaciate sweep once more. gg
2-0
Round 3 v. ??? w/ kyurem/zoroark
This game had me worried, because he had weakness with my donphan and zoroark is very good in this matchup. He started lone zorua to my phanpy and kyurem, and he went first. He drew and passed. i saw a sliver of hope, so i attached a fighting to the phanpy and passed with a kyurem that i topdecked and communication in hand. he attached a DCE and whiffed lunge. i communicate for the donphan and donk him. I dont really like donk wins, so we played again for fun, and it was close, but i won with glaciate. gg's
3-0
At this point i realise I only need 1 more win to cut, and pump myself up.
Round 4 v. Lemar w/Durant
I had played this guy the day before and misplayed by dropping a kyurem when i had a lone fully powered donphan. It came down to me having 14 cards left in the deck and 3 prizes left. After i counted how many i had left we both new i had the game. So, on my turn i topdeck a kyurem and drop it >.> i make the SAME EXACT MISPLAY as the day before. he has the catcher in hand, and my switch is nowhere to be seen, gg.
3-1
And now i start to get a little worried. I know i'm playing a mageel next round and i know i can win, but i also know she's playing cryogonal, so it'll be close.
Round 5 v. Catherine w/mageel
i start double phanpy, she starts thunderus, double magnemite. i go first, drop a fighting communicate a kyurem in hand to check out my deck. one dopnphan's prized, but i try to assure myself i can still pull it out. i grab a voltorb and then PONT. off the PONT i get electrode, donphan, fighting, water, and kyurem. she draws, collectors, attaches to the thunderus and charges. I go, top deck a PONT, drop kyurem, attach a water to the kyurem, evolve to donphan, evolve to electrode and PONT. whiff the research record and blow up. get 2 fighting. discard my other phanpy and some other stuff i can't remember. attach both fighting to the active donphan, drop a rocky helmet on it, and KO the thunderus. she draws, gets turn 2 magnezone, as well as double eel. she burns 4 to KO my donphan, but thanks to rocky helmet i can KO the mag next turn. I do KO it, but she drops a cryogonal, attaches to it, dynamotor, and KO'es my second donphan. i try to get things going again, but only manage one more prize. turns out my super rod was prized as well
3-2
So, i'm out of Top Cut, but i finish 9th, which is alright i guess. Still a single digit. And i don't feel bad for how i dd, Catherine ended up getting second so it's all good.
Props:
Donphan

dropping kyurem when unnecessary
donphan and super rod for being prized
