Hey! This is my first tournament reprort. I decided that it was a petty good championship, so I couldn't resist.
I was going to run a newer deck I had made, but it wasn't ready due to the fact a card I needed still being sent in the mail (have you sent the Shaymin?!), so I decided to go rougue with ELECOBALIONARK, aka EZC. You can find the list here: http://www.pokebeach.com/forums/thread-cobalion-zoroark-electrode-prime-elecobalionark
During the cities, I realized that I should of swapped out some cards, but it's OK, I still did fine.
Anyway, I get to McKinney at about 10:00 A.M. I meet my buddies there, and we get our decks checked and ready to go. There are 17 players in seniors. We play a bit, and the tournament begins!
ROUND 1: Me vs bye.
I won this grueling battle just barely. It was really tough, but I pulled through.
1-0
ROUND 2: Me vs Pearce w/ Megazone/PrimeTime
This guy's a great friend of mine, we go to school together. In fact, I took him home afterward. Anyway, this was by far the most exciting battle of the day. I gain an early lead, but soon we're both relatively close on prizes. Finally, time is called and we have the three rounds, ending with Pearce. He snipes my Cleffa with Linear Attack, and on my turn I make a grave error. I had a junk arm in the 4 cards of my deck, and I needed that to get even so we could go to sudden death, because he couldn't kill any of my other pokemon in play with Yanmega. I have a PONT, which, if I used, I'd shuffle my hand into my deck and draw 6/7 cards, most likely I'd get a Junk Arm. but, I decide to make there be only 6 cards by using a communication before the PONT. I PONT for the 'arm and I catcher and kill his Magnezone with Cobalion to even the prizes. He passes on his turn. I figured we would go into sudden death, with us starting a new game. But I was wrong. Because I had no deck, I automatically lost, despite the fact the game's 3 turns were officialy over. I didn't know that, I could of not used the comm. and had a card left. That angers me, because If I hadn't done that I could of won by using Zoroark to linear attack his cleffa on the bench and won on sudden death... It was a complicated but aviodable error, and I'm angry I didn't know that ruling. I thought that sudden death was another game, not continuing the same one.
1-1
ROUND 3: Me vs Whatshisface w/Cofigurius (durable body), Rocky Helmet, and Bisharp NV (Dark type):
Sorry I don't remember his name. Anyway, his strategy was kind of cool. Get damage on them w/Cofigrius and Rocky Helm, the sweep with Bisharps. Unfortunately for him, I reduced all damage done to two Cobalions so much that I was pretty much invicible all game, Rocky Helmet or not.
2-1
ROUND 4: Me vs Andrew w/Gothitelle (Jirachi+Shaymin)
Andrew is my other friend, who had to leave immediatly after the last round, in which he beat a Durant. He did really well. Anyway, I catchered his Reuniclus early and managed to take 5 prizes. Once he got set up, I couldn't take any, but niether could he, so we were locked permanently. He scooped when I got enough damage on his pokemon such that he couldn't move much more.
3-1
ROUND 5: Me vs. Travis w/ ZPST (he called it ZSPT, though.)
I got donked. Which is a shame, I put a 4-3 Zoroark in my deck for a reason XP
3-2
Over all I got 5th place, one away from top cut.
Top cut:
1st:Nikhil w/Reshiphlosion
2nd: Megan w/Donchamp
3rd: Travis w/ ZPST
4th: David w/ Haxorus/Dodrio
Props:
-1st round bye
-Goin rougue and doing well.
-My friends, Pearce and Andrew.
-So many cool decks!
-Really good day overall!
Slops:
-Stupid mistake on round 2.
-Donked XL
- I really don't think I deserved 5th, I think my friend Pearce did, who got sixth. He had some really neat battles.
Yeah, it was great. I wish I was in Masters, there was a ton of Kyurem and VvV, which my deck eats for breakfast. My division was more varied. I make some trades, and my Dad arrives. I take Pierce home and that's that!
Thanks for reading, and good luck at Cities!
