Hi, so yesterday we had a pre release for the up coming set Noble victories and i just want to share my experience with you guys 
.
I got there around 12 as tourney started at 1. I sat down, chatted with friends and discussing the meta and possibly the BDIF of the next meta. I tested my CKE(Coballion, Kyurem, Electrode Prime) against various decks like ZPST, gothitelle's and others. After that the judges told us to clear the table so we could start.
I opened all 6 of my packs, seeing my deck to be a stage 2 deck which i dont really fancy. My pulls were 2 haxorus, 1 rare holo, 1 reverse holo, a virizion full art, a hydreigon and a drudiigon, 2 eviolites but no N's.
My deck consisted of a 3-2-2 line of haxorus, 2-2-1 line of hydreigon, a virizion, 2-2 amoongus line and other pokes such as confagrigus and garbadore. After 30 minutes of deck building, we were off to our first round out of 5.
Round 1 vs (fogot his name)
I started off with an axew to his pawniard. For the first turn i attached an energy and went for the dual chop, getting both tails. On his turn he attached a dark energy and passed. On my turn i evolved into fraxure, attached an energy and went for the dual chop again, getting only 1 heads. He attached and used cut. I then went for the dual chop getting 1 heads. GG
1-0
Round 2 vs Andrew Cho
I started with my virizion to his elgyem. I attached and dual drawed. He then went for elgyem's "first contact", allowing him to get his terrakion and pawniard. On my turn i attached a grass and used leaf wallop. He attached to terrakion and first contact again. I then used leaf wallop again and started sweeping from there with leaf wallop as terrakion has grass weakness. GG
2-0
Round 3 vs Adi
We chatted for a bit as we knew each other fairly well. As the game started i knew he won instantly as he started with a coballion while my hand was and axew, and other useless cards atm. I started and dual chopped getting 1 heads and ended. He attached an energy and end. I drew into yamask and dual chopped. After he got his 3rd energy on coballion he sweeped from there, even though, i got my hydreigon out. GG
2-1
Round 4 vs Dominic
We started the game, and this game was more exciting then the rest.I started with axew. I attached and attacked for 20 with dual chop. We passed turns while evolving our pokes. On turn 4 i got my haxorus out and giga impact his golett. On his turn he sent out his other golett and attacked me for 20. On my turn i retreated to yamask and attached to haxorus. He evolved his golett and attacked for 60 while milling an energy from the top of my library. The next turn i advanced my haxorus, and evolved my deino. I attacked with dual chop getting 1 heads putting golurk on 60 health left. On his turn he attached and went for the hammer arm getting 2 heads only. On my turn i attached to deino and knocked out his golurk to take my 2nd prize. On his turn he used mienshao to high jump kick me for the k.o and he super rod his golurks and golett's back into the deck. We passed turns continuosly untill i got my hydreigon out against his golett and the prizes were 1-1. my hydreigon had 40 damage on it due to golett's attack. I attacked an sniped for 40 to 2 benched pokes. On his turn he attached a fighting energy and shows me a top decked golurk. GG
2-2
Round 5 vs Andrew cho's brother
He had swarm of 4 basics and the v-create victini. I got my haxorus out on turn 3 and swept from there as he couldnt get out 5 benched pokes to use v-create to kill my haxorus. GG
3-2
Overall, a fairly good pre release, from my 2 packs that i won i pulled a full art fliptini and another foil eviolite.
Props:
Getting my 1 coballion, 2 N's, 2 Kyurem and 4 durant from trades.
2 full arts in 8 packs.
Almost completing my CKE deck.
Slops:
Nothing much to slop about... other than coballion's lock
