I wake up to 6+ inches
of snow outside but we decide to keep going as it is only lake effect snow. Once
we get out of the area it should be fine. Eventually we pick everyone up and get
going, using about 45 minutes of the extra hour we had alotted ourselves. Things
go smoothly until we hit a traffic jam. Chris calls the tournament site to let
them know that we will be late. Finally we make it there and scramble to fill
out decklists. As Fulop has already posted here is what everyone
played:
Chris- Dark Ampharos Dark Hypno
Drew- Dark Ampharos Dark

Round 1 vs Rich w/Zapdos
He gets the normal zappy start while I
have a hand with no draw. I evolve my larvitar to pupitar and go for the t2
ttar. Tails. He draws and goes for the dual ball. Two tails. I topdeck a Rocket
ball and ttar pretty much cleans house.
Round 2 vs John w/ttar
He
mulligans a couple times before getting a larvitar. I attach to mareep and grab
an energy. He attaches and does 20. I rare candy into amphy and do 30. Next turn
he candies into ttar and KO's me with a R energy for game.
Round 3 vs ???
w/draggy
We both get pretty terrible starts. I sit for awhile with an active
Ttar and grab a couple of easy prizes. Eventually he starts to comeback with a
Dragonite. His play area is an Electrode with 3 darks,a dunsparce and an active
dragonite. He
Round 4 vs Tom
w/Draggy
We both get slow starts and play slowly too. The game has very
little action with me taking 2 prizes off KOed basics on his bench. My only
other prize comes from an Amphy KOing a Dragonite. Tom KOs a dunsparce, a Ttar
and a amphy. With two minutes left I use copycat decking myself. However I use
my full two minutes of shuffling allowed and time is called. The next turn I
would have decked and Tom would have went up on prizes. Gotta love POP's
rules.
In sudden death he starts with a dratini while I have mareep. I
candy into flaffy to avoid any Dragonite KOs with R energy. He evolves into
Dragonair and passes it back to me. Next turn I evolve, Copy and get the DRE I
need to win.
Of course I come in 5th on Tie-Breakers though and am the
only 3-1 to miss the cut. I don't mind though because I did lose 2nd round.
David, Tom, Rich and I play some Poker while we wait for Fulop and Mike.
Eventually Fulop wins and we begin the long ride home. We stop at KFC on the way
home for some grub. Sam calls too. Once I get home and everyone finally leaves,
I crash.
