So I did bad in Tucson's BR, so I decided to go to 2 BR's up in PHX, two days in a row. I'm not going to bother explaining everything, so onto the report:
17 Seniors
Top 4
Luxchomp/ERL
Round 1 VS Random
I just run through the murkrows with a belted luxray X, sniping anything that could prove to be a threat. GG 1-0
Round 2 VS (sigh) Random
I was beginning to get disappointed about these pairings, but I was a new player at one point too. I just do basically the same thing as round 1 with a belted luxray sweeping.
2-0
Round 3 VS Crobat Prime
This guy was really cool, and unfortunately I donked him. I filled my bench turn 1 and basically dragon rushed him turn 2 for the donk.
Round 4 VS Curtis S. With Scizor Lock
He starts sneasel and 2 scizors and I with Garchomp+Call (I think). I started with one half of ERL, and draw into the second off his mulligan. I go first, and call. I use luxray to snipe a scyther, and eventally he gets a scizor with 2 metals, which I then play ERL with fire energy to kill, leaving him with basically nothing. I use luxray and garchomp to sweep through his field from there. GG.
3-0
Round 5 VS Chenlock
This game, I just swept through him with dragonite and really everything. After power spraying 2-3 important galactic switches, it was game.
Top 4 VS Gyarados
I don't play a lucario GL, so I'm not so confident about this game. I start dragonite (ugh) and him with sableye (of course). He sets up a quick belted gyarados to take a 5 prizes lead, and I know I'm going to lose. Then, I finally get the cards I needed to execute the plan I had come into this match with. I bright looked his registeel LA, which has a 4 retreat cost, and sniped around it. I eventually killed his expert belted gyarados with 2 dragon rushes, and by this time he has 3 energies on his registeal, being able to retreat next turn for the win. I'm farely certain he only plays 2 warps, and he used one early, and he can't draw into the second. I bright look his regiice, and snipe one more time. By this time, I see a play. Since I used Bite on his registeal twice, and he used time walk early, I use uxie's psychic restore to put 20 on his regiice, putting it under. I poke turn crobat and bronzong, and ERL for my last 3 prizes, coming back from a 5 prize defficit. I am amazed that I was actually able to pull of the win, and I get ready for game 2.
Game 2 VS Gyarados
He starts sableye, and I get a decent luxray call start. I get set up quickly, but hes smarter this time about laying down pixies and registeel. I kill a belted gyarados, and just snipe around for the rest of the game, winning by 2-3 prizes. Onto top 2
Top 2 VS Chenlock
I feel pretty confident about this match, but I'm getting tired. I don't remember all that much about these games, but I do know that my manectric helped alot in this match. I won the first game, but he came back and beat me in the second game, and won on time (UGH) in the third.
Props:
Chinease Food
Getting 2nd
Manectric making my opponent waste a dragon rush for no damage
Expert belted luxray
Matt/dmaster for letting me borrow alot of stuff, including a luxray X
Slops:
Losing on time
Rod missing top by one place.
Other things
The next day's report will come soon.
