Well Duterte asked
me if I could go with him to a tourney if his dad would take us and I’m like
sure. So he asks and then we can
go. I read the email bout da tourneh
and then make sure my deck is ready. I
make some adjustments and then I go to sleep at like 2am. =/ Then I wake up at 8:15am…and then I like
take a shower and then we leave at like 8:45 …a bit late cuz of my dad and
stuff. We get to terte’s house as soon
as they’re leaving and like I catch them…thank goodness. =/ We get to the tourney area a little over 9,
but just in time. Duterte didn’t read
the email and didn’t know it was standard so I had to loan him some cards and
crap =/. Then we set off and go. =/

A smaller crowd of
11….Man I’ve never seen so little people…but hey, Its all good. Lets play!
Round 1
vs. ehhhh Michael Kirby???
Well…it takes awhile to get going due to that new crap mulligan rule but off we go. He gets a quick KO on a cleffa due to his elekid, but I keep him at bay long enuff with my SERs to get a typhlosion going. I get another going and then I start 0wning a bit. His babies did put up a fight as I flipped like 5 or 6 tails in a row. =/
Record: 1-0 3
points
I recorded names
and crap down for like every round except 3 because my games took no more than
10 minutes a piece.
Round 2
vs. Daniel Duterte
Very good game, it was back and forth a little…and then he went ahead slightly. My SERs 0wning him and then a big blow was when I GoWed his croconaw and then firestormed it =/. He got a few of my pokies with that dang pichu…but I ended up the victor when he left a lone cleffa out and I heat tackled it flipping heads on baby rule for the game. Yet again he does a n00b action like leaving cleffa lone…
Record: 2-0 6
points
Round 3
vs. Jim Trenner
Quick game….I got to go first and only had a b’s grolwithe. He had sneasel. I stoke and then he swipes for 4 I think….and then I paraylyze him…next turn I paralyze again and he has yet to nab another basic or drawing…and I body slam for a 3rd time and win. =/
Record: 3-0 9
points
Round 4
vs. dave christian
Great
game….he was a little ahead at the beginning, but being able to SER his sneasel
a little and flipping heads on focus band kept me in the game. He then pulled ahead slightly, but I was
able to get another typhlo out and 0wn him.
Very close and great game. Gotta
hate wiggleh and dark vileplume…thank you magby. =/
Record: 4-0 12
points
Round 5
vs. Michael Reynolds
Ehhh he had a lone
buzz vs. cynda…I was so close to winning it 3rd turn…but he
paralyzed me. Then it kept going back
and forth with ditto and phlosion and buzz and stuff. I never got another typhlosion out and I NGRed the wrong crap…he
ends up knocking out a cleffa with scyther for the win.
Record: 5-1 12
points
I got 1 neo 1 pack
and 1 neo 3 pack, but exchanged the neo 1 for neo 3 and pulled non holo kingdra
and non holo suicune…which I don’t need either but whatever. =/ Hopefully my DCI won’t drop too far and I’ll
stay around 78th in the world.
