League Challenge #6 Standard Format
Place:1st

Props: Playing the primary deck I tested after putting Donphan on the back burner, all the people who lent me the pieces of my deck (I had 6 of the 13 pokemon in the deck), Lucario EX somersault kicking and corkscrew uppercutting my way into top cut (It won against a VG matchup all on its own), getting favorable matchups in top cut to make it to finals, good pack pulls (FA LTC, Dialga EX, Jamming net, Florges EX, and a large amount of staples), misplaying in round 2 but my opponent re-opened the win back up for me instead of tying, round 5 everyone playing it out instead of IDing (I ID with my opponent who finished 3-0-2 before top cut and i squeezed in with 3-1-1 thanks to everyone else who was 3-1-1 playing out), 40 champ points

Record: W-W-W-L-L-W (4-2)
Massilon, OH City Championships
Place: DNF
Deck: Thundurus/Deoxys/Kyurem (Plasma TDK)

Slops: Losing to a Donphan deck in round 3 (Opponent opened lone Phanpy and passed, Kyurem with water M band and whiffed the Colress Machine for the donk, Played too aggressively after whiffing costing me the game), losing to the most bizarre fairies deck from dead drawing (I somehow pathetically took 4 prizes), dropping out of being fed up w/ TDK (Plasma letting me down sucked)
Record: L-W-L-L-<Dropped>
