So this was my first-ever pre-release attended and I'll be honest, it was fun.
Got my 6 Booster Packs (3 Gyarados and 1 of Giratina, Rayquaza, and Terrakion)
Opened all 6 booster packs, no EX pulled, but that's OK, I can deal with the average cards I pulled.
Notable pulls from my packs were Gyarados, Gothitelle, Garbodor, Slaking, and Garchomp. (the bad version)
My 40-card deck revolved around {P} and {DRG} (Gible Line)
Round 1 - Easy win because my opponents best card was a Golett, while I quickly sent out Gyarados amd Gothitelle. Lucky.
1-0
Round 2 - Lost easily because my opponent sent out Braviary quickly and had Emolga too, while for me I couldn't sent out my strong guys.
1-1
Round 3 - My opponent only had Registeel-EX and I had Trubbish and Stunfisk. Registeel says "IMMA FIRIN' MAH LAZOR" and easily defeats me. I almost knocked it out however, 20 HP away... so close.
1-2
Round 4 - Round 4 was slow, my opponent only had Stunky out whereas I had Sawk and Stunfisk. (yes) Took about 7-8 turns before I can give Stunfisk the required {F} energy to demolish Stunky. Easy win because he didn't have any Benched Pokes.
2-2
Round 5 - For the final round, I relied on Stunfisk, once again, to clutch the match for me. My opponent started out with Bouffalant and for me, Stunfisk. (yes once again) I just spammed Muddy Water, crippling her Bench, and at some point, use Rumble. Easy win.
3-2
It was a fun event, and I'm satisfied with the 3-2 record with my EX-free deck. Huge props to Stunfisk! Can't wait to attend the next pre-release for the next set, which will be in November/December.
