Day 1: Coral Springs.
Pregame:
The whole week wrestling had consumed my life (and will take it back over tomorrow lol) so I wasn't really able to test too much. I messed around with Magnezone/Feraligatr. The deck was pretty good, but it was hurt by power spray and any sort of bench switching tactics. I avoided it. My only true options were Regigigas, a deck that I had done well with but needed a bit of time to make a good list, or Vilegar, who failed vs Dialgachomp, and eh just didn't seem great. I chose Gigas for day 1, with honchkrow SV tech and rainbows. Seemed really funky, and I wondered if rainbows being unsearchable in my deck would actually hinder me at all. Last minute before lists were due, I had cut Chatot G and Relicanth for 1-1 Abomasnow. I hoped that it was the right choice. My list was very funky. Two players looked at it and called it clunky hahahaha. Notttt.
Round 1 vs Katherine C w/Jumpluff
I have a very nice uxie/mesprit start to her Uxie start. I go second and collector for Regigigas, Regice, Uxie. I go to town and belt gigas, setup, etc. Eventually she sets up a Spiritomb (I was picking at her bench, dragging things off, doing everything to prevent her from using tomb). She tomb s to a Pluff and I know that I need to keep a consistent powerlock to win. I watch the damage output and keep moving her bench around, shuffling basics and such. Eventually prizes are 3-3and I KO a belted Jumpluff using Seeker and Crobat G. She responds with a KO (my gigas had 150 damage on it), and I didnt sacrifice because she had 1 prize as well. I get Uxie X, regimove, and KO her spiritomb for game.
1-0
Round 2, vs Larry A w/ "Scarecrow" (Honchkrow SP box)
My start was pretty hot. I got out a gigas T2 and started dragging off things. He brought out a gastly SF and I was like heck noooo, and I double flash bite belt drag offed FTW. Then I drug off a Garchomp C for KO, and honchkrow SV sweeped the rest. The game sucked for him because everything that I needed to happen, did happen. Eventually, he drags up my Regice. I warp back and KO something for game.
Round 3 vs Jon V w/ Vilegar
We both knew what each other were playing. I was pretty disappointed and it really didn't look good for me. Supposebly, the matchup is an autoloss. I had techs for the matchup but still, eh. I open Gigas, collector, DCE, rainbow, belt, uxie, ??, to his ditto/uxie start. I play down a mesprit, bind, and I have a collector and initiative T1. I'm thinking...collector ftw, but then my gut was screaming "INITIATIVE!" Well, I initiative...DOUBLE HEADS. Sick. Bye bye collector and energy
. From there, it's pretty smooth sailing. Disrupt, powerlock, KO bench, I try to setup Honch SV but he does a good job at KOing it, but it doesn't really matter. GG man, soz
Round 4 vs Roberto A w/ Vilegar
Yay. A whole hour of Vilegar. I open nicely with a collector and uxie lol, to his Unown Q/Oddish start. I go first and KO his Q. He collectors for spiritomb, uxie, gastly, and from there I KO oddish with crobat, SSU, uxie. I collector for Mesprit, Murkrow, Regice. I decide that to win this game, I need to take quick prizes with Honch. Well, that's exactly what I do. He doesn't get to fire off more than 1 spiritomb darkness grace. After turn 8, the prize count is 6-1 me, but I lose a lot of steam. He KO's honch with fainting spell. I attempt to get abomasnow, but he lost zones it with Gengar prime! I build up a Drag Off Gigas and finally drag a damaged spiritomb active for game. GG
Round 5 vs Roberto P w/ Uxie Donk
I can't believe that i'm playing down. The game drags, he misses the donk and we play until time. He keeps stealing prizes and I get a terrible start. It blows. I start winning, he starts slow playing. I didn't wanna seem like a jack-o-lanturn, so I just ignorred it. Last turn of the game, it's clear that I lose. I say mesprit to bench, and the final turn he calls a judge over and says "he didn't declare psychic bind so blah blah ). Then the judge points out that he won anyways, and he says "Oh, well I would have let him take it back blah blah . I lol, sign the match slip and leave.
Top cut.
Round 6 vs Roberto P w/ Uxie Donk
Game 1:
He seeker donks me.
Game 2:
He seeker donks me.
