Wow. I've been waiting for the qualifier for a long time. And here it is! My first thought for Modified was Tyranitar/Zapdos then I focused on Feraligatr. At first, I played Rockets Sneak Attack and Gold Berry but with advice I ended up with Focus Band instead. We arrived there at 7am. One of the first there. My dad left so I played some warm up. Before anything else, here is the decklist

The strategy is simple. Get Gatr going. Do whatever it takes to get water in the discard and Downpour. Smeargle kills alot of cards in modified. Especially Gatr and BlainesArcanine. Magby is so they cant use Fragrance Trap and your Gatr can build.=/

I played a game with Chris Fulop in standard before the tourny and beat him. He played FableMukChansey and I played Steelix ^_^

Many people I would like to prop. ESPECIALLY, Spago! He helped alot with the deck and really had hope for me(or did you). Then, Bomiester, Tyranitar666. Not Cool Zues Cb for introducing me to Smeargle. Ah man, I am probably forgetting people but you know who you are. And now on to the Tournament report. 6rounds of swiss

He had a lone Blaines Doduo. I SecretMission on turn1 and see his hand of 5fire and a Blaines Arcanine. Attach an energy to Totodile and pass. he couldnt draw anything for two turns and I sweeped him for the knockout. 1-0.3pts.

He played alot of cards to counter Gatr. Hoppip,DarkMuk.Giovannis Nidoran.Chaos Gym. But not even all of that could stop 2 Gatrs.He killed 1. Then I killed everything else. I was worried at the beginning when I had lone Magby and he had Neo Pikachu. He had a 25% chance of winning but I pulled through. He also got a Chaos. I defaulted but he slapped another >_<.

This was the first organized deck I had to battle. He got two heads on Agility so my Gatr was down to 20life. I then Riptide it for the kill and his Focus Band fails. He eventually kills my Gatr with Sputters. Neither of us can get a new pokemon built but then I get a Croconaw and Sweep his babies. 3-0.9pts

His Gatr deck wasnt too good. He ran trap combo and Gold Berry and no Smeargle. Im up like 5-2 and then I can win if the baby flip is heads. Tails. Then he gets Gatr and kills everything and wins. He won two games that day on flips. We met at Origins so we knew each other.=/ Oh and Jared? I ()wn Drew. 3-1.9pts

I force him to decide between Smeargle and Gatr. So I kill him. He shouldve run Focus Band but NOO!=/ 4-1.12pts

His anti Gatr really sucked. Meganium.GiosKing.Dark Dragonair.Steelix. But it beat me by doing 80 and sleep to Gatr.ugh..... Then I cant rebuild.4-2,12pts

He killed My Gatr with his but I sketched his Gatr and then he got tails on focus Band. I get Gatr before him and Double Gust his Croconaw for the knockout. Easy from there. he does 40 with E.Bell.Ko. Then I killed a Totodile and such. Thankyou Double Gust.=/ and Smeargle.5-2.

She really didnt know how to play Gatr right. She lost a turn by Eeeeekin so I get Gatr before her. and Double Gust her Croco and ko it. She gets Totodile.Double Gust ko. Then I kill a few babies for the win. Im like whoa! Im going to WCSTS!!!!

He gets two Cyndaquils but never gets any Elm.Wrath.Cleffa so I Sweep them both for the knockout and game. 1st place 7-2 whoa!

and speaking of whoa Spencer Byers who is only 7yrs old went 5-1 in 10-unda. Good Job Spencer!!

Slops to Jared for thinking Smeargle was stupid. Now whos laughing huh? hhaahahahahah
