The Key Strategy: See past reports for key strategy =/

 

The usual crowd of good players showed up today.  To the battles! =/

 

Round 1 vs. Ryan Byrd

He didn’t want to play me from the start, he kept saying he was gonna loose.  I started with totodile and he started with cleffa.  I go first and get 4 heads for the FTKO. =/ (1-baby rule…3 heads on swipes =/)

Record: 1-0 3 points

 

He was mad =/.

 

Round 2 vs. Daniel Duterte (Duterle =/)

Great game, but in the end I got some tails on needed flips and it took forever to get powered up.  He comes through with the win.

Record: 1-1 3 points

 

Round 3 vs. some d00d( I forget his name)

He had this wack casino dice which he tries to slightly roll on the table so he could get a heads.  I told him to roll normally and he did.  So onto the game…I go first and do my stuff.  He gets a croc going and then I get one.  I hold out with my babies and finally get my fera going.  I 0wn him.  I end up going through another croc or totdile…a few babies and then his rocket’s scyther.  I get this game.

Record: 2-1 6 points

Round 4 vs. James Trenner

I was scared at the beginning.  He has slowking and umbreons in his deck.  Slowking, my biggest enemy is finally here.  But I manage to get past his slowking flips (I mean important ones like prof elm) and then get 2 feras pumped and going.  I manage with limited card drawing and actions to win this game.  Hes still in shock.

Record: 3-1 9 points

 

I was hoping I’d win this for some prizes.

 

Round 5 vs. David Messinger (with fera)

This guy had cheated against my brother in some little error at the end of a game.  I was here to reclaim victory.  I go first and all he has is a brock’s mankey.  I get totdile going turn 2 and swipes for 20.  He still has nothing, so I evolve and tacklle for the game.  I play him in another game and still 0wn him.

Record: 4-1 12 points

 

I came in first over everyone.  YAY I get 6 whole rocket booster packs. Yippe skippee.  I go to the owner fot ehs tore and get him to exchange them for 2 neo genesis packs and pull crap..time capsule and murkow =/.
