Hey every, its me again. This is probably my first post on the Beach after my 2011 states article, State of States: An Article on the Upcoming meta. Anyways, on to the report!
So I had been waiting for April 16th for a while. My regionals was Midwest Regionals, and I had a blast at the Dells last year, having a great time with Mr.619 and Pokeman. Anyways, this year, I was planning on having another great time. Skipping to my deck choice...
At WI states, I went and played SP. And got Judged 18 times. And got sick of SP. So I decided for a fun deck. Gyarados. On to the report?
Round 1: VS Chuck Lambert(or something like this) Vilegar.
I start Sableye, but prize two karps. I collector for Azelf, Regice, and Uxie. I have a Karp in my hand(luckily). He collectors, but doesn't grab double tomb(wtf?), so I unload on trainers, and get a Gyarados for 60, taking the Karp off of my prize. He sends up a Gengar, and Shadow Rooms my Regice for 60. I draw, discard third Karp, and hit for 90. He SR's, and KOs Regice. I'm in a bad situation. If I take the flip, and he hits heads, I'm in a bad spot. He doesn't have another Gengar out, but I have no supporter recourses to get another Gyarados out, at least in the near future. I draw, its a Collector(!). I play it, grab double bat, kill Gengar, then Tail Revenge for a 2nd prize. At this point, he has Gastly with Warp attached and Vileplume on bench. He scoops, saying I topped lucky. I guess starting Sableye and prizing 2 of the things needed to do damage is topping lucky. The deck did what it was supposed to, my B.
1-0.
Round 2: VS Rage Quit(Idk his name but...) Tangrowth/Ursaring?
He starts lone Azelf, and I start setting up. He benches Teddiursa, uses Fake Tears. I regimove, kill Azelf. He evolves, attaches double, and uses Hammer Arm. I draw. The next turn goes exactly like this:
Me: Seeker.
Him: Yep.
Me: Luxury ball for Crobat G, Flash Bite.
Him: Uh-huh.
Me: Poke-turn Crobat G, Flash Bite.
Him: Yup.
Me: Tail Revenge.
Him: All right.
He then proceeds to draw a card, and I was like "Uh...that knocks you out."
Him(exactly like this) :"Are you fudging kidding me? Thats fudging bullshit.
He picks up a pen, engraves his name on the match slip, throws the pen at me and storms off. A Judge comes over, looks at me, the slip, and him, shrugs, signs it, then walks off.
2-0.
Round 3: VS Alex(Gengar C).
I start Uxie, he donks me. My next top was Sableye. My hand would have allowed for a Gyarados swinging for 90 the next turn had I survived donk. Without Regice. We take a fun game, and I T2 his active and only pokemon, Gengar, with a belted Gyarados. Without Regice.
2-1.
Round 4: VS Some guy(Dialga.netdeck.Palkia.unoriginal.Drifblim.not creative.Jirachi.dek)
Umm so its the flippy dialga with Seeker/Drifblim win. So ummm I am taking a prize every turn, and am power locking him every turn. It comes to a turn when I am out of Seeker. So I play Super Scoop #1. Tails. #2, Tails. #3, Tails. This was all before the turn. I Junk Arm, #4, tails. #5 as well? Tails. So I run outta Seeker, and must Bebes to try and get a scoop. In my Uxie for 5, I get Seeker(4th and final), Junk Arm, and Scoop. Play Scoop #6, tails. Junk Arm, Scoop #7....tails. So I let up power lock. And he uses Dialgas power. So guess what? I flip 2 tails. SHOCKER. So I lose cause he plays Seeker, then Jirachi's a Seeker, then I draw pass, plays Seeker, and bounces Drifblim. Awesome. I love tails.
2-2.
Round 5: VS Some guy(Gyarados).
He starts Crobat and Karp. I start Bat. He draws, goes first, passes. I draw, EXPLODE, Regimove 1 Karp into the discard, belt a Gyarados, send up Gyarados, Seeker, DONK.
3-2.
Round 6: VS Machamp Vileplume.
I see its Machamp. I know I've got a great advantage. I take 4 prizes. He plays bebes. Grabs Vileplume. Oddish+Candy+Vileplume. I stop for a minute. Those rescues and junk arms I was gonna play...are useless. So I have to sack 4 prizes. BUT. I set up another Gyarados with Combee. Hit his Machamp Take out for 90. He fighting tags, and gets rid of my rescue(awesome...). I draw a Gyarados. I know there is 1 Seeker left in my 6 card deck. I top it, I win. I don't, I lose. I hit for 90, he uses Champ Buster or whatever the big attack is, and KOs me. I close my eyes, take a deep breath, and draw. That one cloaked guy in front of a green background with like a pendant or something fills my vision. I play it, pick up Combee, grab Karp, evolve, retreat to Gyra, KO. He scoops. It was 1-1 prizes, holy crap dude, GG!
4-2.
Round 7: Some guy w/ Dialgachomp.
Game goes EXACTLY like this:
I start Sableye, Impersonate. He attaches Special Metal, deafens. I regimove 2 in there, he switches to Garchomp, I impersonate. He attaches double...Xs...and Claw Swipes? Umm how are you 4-2? Whatever. I go broke with trainers. I flash bite, its good. I do it again, its good. I set up, and he says ok, I start to draw, and he power sprays. Turns out he doesn't have 3 SP on field, so I draw. Get a belt(the bats were to bait sprays), attach, and KO. His field is as follows: Dialga G with 2 special metals and a belt, Sableye, Uxie and Azelf. He sends up Sableye, impersonates Cyrus. I draw, and play Seeker. He picks up Uxie. I psychic bind him. I regimove, he switches to Azelf. I KO. His field is now just Sableye and Dialga with 2 special metals, belt, AND double, as well as the X. He hits for 100. I draw, play SSU like 4 times, get 3 heads, draw like 15 cards, and get the Seeker I need. I regimove. I seeker. I KO. I win.
5-2.
Now we just wait for results...and thanks to Rage Quit(going 1-4 drop), and my opponents going like positive(4-3), with only 2 guys going 5-2, I cant make top, placing 19th. Oh well. I never got to use my special tech card >:[.
Props:
Dells.
Monks.
Cheese Curds.
Gyarados.
5-2.
google winning, go google!
Slops:
Pooka not winning *gasp*
SSU.
