I decided to go with Eelzone. I built it the night before, borrowing about 100 dollars worth of cards to do so. Then, I played three games with it, and headed to Cities the next day.
Round 1 vs Durant/Cobalion
This deck was played by a pokemom who had no idea what she was doing. She opens with Durant active and Drifblim on the bench. What? I have her pick up the Drifblim. I go first. I open Magnemite with my hand being 4 Lightning and 2 Rare Candy. I topdeck a Lightning. I attach to Magnemite and pass. She draws, attaches to Durant, and Devours for one. She kills a Tynamo. I topdeck Magnezone prime. Candy, attach, Lost Burn, gg.
1-0
Round 2 vs Kyurem/Feraligatr/Virizion
He gets a bad start, and I just run through him. Not much to say here.
2-0
Round 3 vs ???
I honestly don't remember this at all, but we both got setup pretty well. He just couldn't keep up, though.
3-0
Round 4 vs Vileplume/Yanmega/Sunflora/Terrakion/Kyurem/Mew with Muk and Jumpluff
He went undefeated, so congrats to him. Anyway, I get a pretty bad start, and he gets Vileplume out too quickly for me to get anything out. His Terrakion takes care of my setup, and I can't do anything.
3-1
Round 5 vs Zekrom/Pachirisu/Shaymin/Tornadus
I get paired up to David Cohen. He gets a pretty bleh start, and I just sweep.
4-1
Round 6 vs Chandelure/Vileplume/Blissey/Dodrio/Jirachi
This guy is apparently ranked number one in the world right now. He's a great player. Anyway, he goes first and gets a T2 Vileplume and I don't draw energy. GG.
4-2
I make cut in the sixth seed. My last opponent makes cut in the 3rd seed.
Top 8 vs Chandelure/Vileplume/Blissey/Dodrio/Jirachi
He gets a bad start and I sweep him game one with Thunderus. Game two he goes first and gets a T2 Vileplume. Game three we both get pretty bad starts, but I'm able to go up by 3 prizes when time is called. He can take three prizes in his two turns, if and only if I flip two tails in a row on burn flips from his attack. I flip tails tails. Gg.
4-3
Well, at least I got some championship points. All of my games were pretty boring and one-sided, and there's really nothing I can add to the report past this. I don't really like this format much, almost every game is very one-sided. Oh well.
