My first place with a sucky deck battle roads

At first, I was planning on playing a weird random rogue deck with cincinno and a few other guys, but the night before, I decided it wasn't good enough. I switched to the only semi-playable deck I have. Duant.

My decklist sucked, because I'm poor. No catcher or junk arm. 1 crushing hammer/lost remover. etc.

I go to the Battle roads in West Jordan, Utah, and there were 9 seniors.

Round 1 vs Tim granthem w/terrakion landorus.
I get out four durant 1st turn, but I can't get an energy. He's having a hard time setting up too, and I know I need an energy quick. Fourth turn, I get one, and start devouring. He has a fully charged Terrakion by now and starts land crushing. I start charging up my Cobalion I get with a dual ball, and eventually take out his Terrakion. He has almost nothing on his bench, and I finish him off with cobalion, instead of devouring. :D

1-0
Round 2 vs Andrew w/ Gothitelle
Not much to say. I get set up and devour for 4 first turn, and own the game. He didn't take one prize card. After I win, he gets mad and shouts at the organizer, "Andrea, I lost because your stupid computer paired me with a durant!"

2-0
Round 3 vs Miles w/ Zekeels
His deck suprised me, because he had 2 Mewtwo, but no catcher. I start out with a durant prized, and I can't switch it out with rotom until I am down by three prizes. I time my lost remover right, and flip heads on a reversal to buy me extra time. I works, and I barely win with only one prize for him to go.

3-0
Round 4 vs Selsen w/ Zekeels
This was the only other 3-0, and I was almost sure I was going to lose. I just hoped I could make top cut after I would probably lose.
I get so lucky this game. I shouldn't have won. I go, first and devour for 4. He gets out a Mewtwo and a Tornadus EX. He got the Tornadus fully charged and started picking off my durants. I use a lost remover to his DCE and attack him with rotom and prism energy for 80 damage. He was shocked. I killed his Tornadus, and got revenged by Mewtwo with 2 energy. I begin again to devour, and get him with my cruching hammer. He has now no pokemon with enough energy to attack, and I devour for the win again facing only one prize card.

4-0

Top Cut game 1-2
I face Miles from game three, and beat him quite easily both times. I killed a Zekrom after two bolt strikes with my rotom, and he was in disbelief. The games were similar to the third game, but he charged his pokemon on the bench, which gave me enough time to devour and secure a win.

5-0 1st Place. This is the second time I made top cut, and I won!
4 booster packs. Yay.

I pull a Tornadus EX on my third pack, and everyone swarmed me for it.
It was really fun, but my friend Logan lost his first three and got a bye his 4th. That stunk.
 
How on earth did you do so well without catcher, junk arm, and barely any crushing hammer/remover?
Thats just weird......congrats though! :D Nice pull.
What made you play Durant? Weren't you scared of heatmor?
 
poor man's Durant winning Battle Roads what
I played a "regular" Durant and only got 3-2 due to a misplay and bad matchups. I envy you ;_;

I got really lucky.
And I guess I forgot about heatmor too. But I never faced it, so I consider myself quite lucky.
