So, this was my first ever tournament as a master, and I got top 4 out of 22 Masters. I was playing Hatter's Snap, Crackle, Donk with cinccino and basculin.
Game 1: Reshiram Typhlosion Emboar.
First ever game as a master! I open minccino to her cyndaquil and go second. I get turn 2 Cinccino swinging for 100 after I whiff on my donk, and out speed her completely. Once she finally gets a fully loaded reshiram out I triple pluspower, and it was all down-hill from there. 1-0
Game 2: Feraligatr Tool Box
I was feeling pretty good about winning my first game, he opens mantine to my lone minun and I go second again. He uses Group Swim, grabs a totodile, and passes. I attatch an electric energy, Juniper away my hand into plusle and pluspower, and get the donk. 2-0
Game 3: Z-Man: Stage 1 Rush
He opens phanpy to my luvdisc, and I finally go first. All i need is the water energy to win, so I juniper..... and miss it. He utilizes this immense failure on the part of my deck to get completely set up T2, and wins by catchering up my basculins, and using a well placed lost rem over to get rid of my basculin's DCE 2-1
Game 4: Theunhipster: MegaJudge
He opens Magnemite to my solrock and I go first. Pluspower, fighting energy, GG
3-1
Game 5: Al w/ Lilligant
This was the most creatively obnoxious deck I have ever seen. Once he got a lilligant up and running, I had no response. 3-2
I doubted that I would top cut, and actually contemplated leaving, but decided to stick around to see who made the top 4, and, to my surprise, my name was listed,
Game 1 Vs. Z-man w/ Stage 1
I can barely remember this game at all. All I can remember is that I missed the donk, and it was nearly identacle to our game in swiss. 0-1
Game 2
I decide to go first, he opens phanpy to my luvdisc, I attatch a water energy. Next Game
Game 3.
See Game 1
So, 4th place in my first ever tournament as a master isn't too shabby, especially with a deck like SCD. All in all, I'm extremely happy with my performance.
