I play at Silver Cactus Comics in Las Vegas, NV every Sunday.
its a Non DCI Toury but will be in a week or so.
its a tuff tournament and i placed 2nd last week with my Potpurri
varriant deck.
There where about 25 to 30 people attending,
its $3 to sign up and prizes go to 1st 2nd and 3rd!

This is how the tourny works
everyone plays 3 games and a game is 2 out of 3 games.
if at the end of those games there are 4 people undefeated they play as
the final four.
sometimes there are people who tie at 2-1
so they have to play to see he gets to the final four.
ok so here's my matches.


Me VS Christian (Deck: Energy Denial/Haymaker - Dragonair's, Golduck's,
Magmars)

I lost to him last week and he had a potpurri deck.
the first game i didnt get out my Arcanine so eventully he won. so far
he wasnt aware that i had arcanine. the next game i got him  out and
flamthrower took all his basics away and i won.
the 3rd and final game was veary close,
it came down to my Arcanine & Magmar to His Dragoniar and Magmar
Hyper Beam was the crushing blow that slowly defeated me.

0-1

Me VS Jake (an old Psycic Deck - Snorlax, Mewto, Abra, Kadabra)

this came was preatty quick, My Magmars gave me time to build up
arcanine and it was over.
Game 2 was Deja Vu

1-1

Me VS Nicole (Deck: PoorWoman's Haymaker)

i lost the first game, got stuck with a lonely growlithe.
the second game i pulled out Arcanine quickly and won,
the 3rd game i dealt damage with SCyther and Magmar then the mighty
Arcanine took em down!
 
2-1


Unfourntanetly
there where 4 others who where undefeated.
so they made the final four.
