At least like 40 or somethin' participants.
Sup, ebArt here, being that I didn't get off my
butt and write a tournament report for the Roanoke Qualifier, I figured I should
write one for this tournament. Taking what I learned from the Roanoke
experience, I modified my Feraligatr deck a bit to perform at top
notch.
Blue Mage #69
Pokemon (19)
4 Totodile (Neo Genesis, 50 HP)
3 Croconaw (Neo Genesis, 80 HP)
3 Feraligatr (Neo Genesis, 120 HP)
3 Cleffa (Neo Genesis)
1 Elekid (Neo Genesis)
1 Giovanni's Nidoran F (Gym
Challenge)
1 Igglybuff (Neo Discovery)
1 Magby (Neo Genesis)
1 Pichu (Neo Genesis)
1 Wooper (Neo Genesis)
Energy (17)
17 Water Energy
Trainers (24)
4 Professor Elm (Neo Genesis)
4 Misty's Wrath (Gym Heroes)
3 Trash Exchange (Gym Heroes)
3 Misty's Tears (Gym Challenge)
3 Focus Band (Neo Genesis)
2 Double Gust (Neo Genesis)
2 Nightly Garbage Run (Team Rocket)
2 The Rocket's Training Gym (Gym Heroes)
1 Celadon City Gym (Gym Heroes)
Everyone knows the strategy of Feraligatr: get
him out early, and use your Trainers to put Water Energy in the discard
pile.
Oh yeah, the deck name is a combo of some FF stuff, AND
Feraligatr's Level Number, honest (COUGH)
Round 1 vs. Stephanie (W Feraligatr)
She kept trying to get me to smile during the match =\ Um,
anyway, I got going really early and she didn't really recover, win for
me.
Record 1-0
Round 2 vs.Uhhh, someone (W Feraligatr)
Um, I know this guy from AIM some where, I can't even remember
his SN =\ I got going fast again, and he conceded once he was down to a
Magby.
Record 2-0
Round 3 vs. Stephan (G Mono)
I knew this would be a test. I beat up his Chikoritas
with a Magby (oooo ya!) and had to get through a Rocket's Scyther. My
Feraligatr got a lucky flip through Shadow Images and I won.
Yay.
Record 3-0
Round 4 vs. Michael B. (G Slowking/Steelix/Umby)
His mom told him I would probably be as tough as they would
come at the Raleigh Qualifier the next day. Bad things started to happen
when he failed an Elm with Chaos Gym, which got me a new hand which I needed
desperately. Then he Eeeeked without flipping for the baby rule and
getting me a prize. I rolled through him the rest of the way. He was
kinda pissedz0rz, but it would help him no doubt.
Record 4-0
Round 5 vs. Brianna (R Fires)
Boy, did I get a crummy start. I got some bad rolls on
Fury Swipes and she got a Quilava out, and rolling through my babies and I was
drawing just to put something on my bench. Typhlosion came out and I got
pwned. I check her deck afterwards, 60 cards. Oh well
-_-
Record 4-1
Placing 2nd ain't bad at all, but I was hoping to go 4-1 to
really boost my rating.
