The tournament started at 8:30 So I woke up at around 7:00 and went to Tim Hortons. I got there at around 9:00 and I immediately started fillin out my decklist. My friend Nathan and I started playtesting before the tournament and I went to go see after that if I could find any PokeBeach members. Soon the tournament pairings are up and we heard some announcements.

Round 1 VS Joshua W/Reshiboar + RDL
I get a really great start. I set up a Zekrom t1 thanks to a dual ball and a lucky hand. Sadly im 10 off a donk because he started with a Reshiram. I struggle once he knocks out two Zekroms while I have knocked out 4 of his pokemon. I set up another Zekrom again by attaching energys and Pachi + Shay. I knock out a Cleffa and he retreats to RDL. He knocks me with RDL but luckily I recover from that. I get another Zekrom and do 20 to him. He retreats and does 120 back to me with Reshiram. I draw and luckily topdeck the Pokemon Reversal and flip heads so I could take my last prize against RDL.
Great game Joshua!

1-0

I participate in the mini league later and win a bunch of commons -_-
Nothing really happened in between the rounds.

Round 2 VS Jack P W/Yanmega Donphan
He gets Donphan and a Yanmega t3 to my Pachi and Shaymin start. I only took one prize because I knocked out a Cleffa with Pachirisu. What else can I say? He beat me pretty quickly.
1-1

After I went to Harveys for lunch. I made it like 5 minutes early for next round pairings.

Round 3 VS ??? W/Donchamp
We start shuffling and while he was shuffling I noticed he dropped a Fightning Energy. I immediately thought I was screwed. I talk to my friend Cameron T about meeting some Pokebeach members and I end up finding ~Absol+Gallade~ right beside me. Anyways I start with a turn one Zekrom to his full bench (0_o). I knock out his Phanphy (He taunted me saying I couldnt knock it out Lol). He bring another Phanphy he attatches Levels up and plus powers. I couldnt recover from that so after a couple of turns so I scooped.
1-2

I knew I had to win the rest of my matches to make top cut. But even if I did I wouldnt make it in for sure.

Round 4 VS ??? W???
He started some grass type. I open with 2 Zekroms 2 Shaymins 2 Energys and a Pokemon Communication. I draw and get a Lightning. I attach Communication a Shaymin for a Pachirisu play it down use the power use shaymin use the power and donk 1st turn.
LOL
2-2

Round 5 VS ??? W/ Magneboar
Pretty straight forward. I had a crud hand and he attatched 7 energys to a Magnezone at one point. He misplayed at one point by blue flaring instead of using his other attack to knocking.
2-3

I want to at least win my next to go even.

Round 6 VS Kayla W/ ZPS
Yay ZPS mirror. I start off with yanma :( . She takes the early lead by knocking out my Yanma but I bench a Pachirisu really early on. I use its power and pass. She switches to Cleffa and eeks. I collector for a Zekrom Shaymin and Pachirisu. All I remember is using Pachirisu to attack for a prize at one point and then using Zekroms throughout the game. Also at the beginnning of the game there was this kid who kept bothering me while I was playing. He kept saying I would lose since im not really that known here in Canada and Kayla is.
Horray for Random clapping during the game :D
GG Kayla!
3-3

After I hang with ~Absol+Gallade~ and some others. We had a couple of laughs and we tried to trade but she had everything + more then what I had XD.

Standings are up im 26th (FAIL) and I win a binder which I trade later for a Mew Prime.

Too many decks get stolen here now...
 
RE: Canadian Nationals Report. ZPS :D

What happened with someone getting cheated against?
And do people really steal that many decks? That's awful
 
RE: Canadian Nationals Report. ZPS :D

My friend's (Nevoh) opponent eeked and only drew 5. He wouldve decked out next turn and Nevoh would've won.

Its very sad how people steal decks. Its been happening since Regionals now and its really awful.
 
RE: Canadian Nationals Report. ZPS :D

Was there any Thirty Plus Three there? Ik Reed is running something that sounds similar... PM me the answer
 
RE: Canadian Nationals Report. ZPS :D

Did you see what was dominated in Masters?
 
RE: Canadian Nationals Report. ZPS :D

Thanks.
Hey, what is that Ambipom Weavile thing about?
 
RE: Canadian Nationals Report. ZPS :D

Hmmm, looks like Magneboar is overhyped...
 
RE: Canadian Nationals Report. ZPS :D

Mind giving me any info on Yanmega/Zone? Why am I posting?
 
RE: Canadian Nationals Report. ZPS :D

@123wert50
Yeah it seemed to do really well.

@Zangoose
No idea how that works. I've never seen it.

Sigh... second place masters after swiss afaik. Just wanted a general idea on techs or whatever. lol
 
RE: Canadian Nationals Report. ZPS :D

You abuse running 4 judge to help Magnezone with the Yanmega and attack with either depending on matchup
 
RE: Canadian Nationals Report. ZPS :D

Atleast you had fun :p

Any news on that Ambipom/ Weavile deck and how it works?
 
RE: Canadian Nationals Report. ZPS :D

You ruin you opponents hand with ampicillin and weevil drops, not tha hard to grasp
 
RE: Canadian Nationals Report. ZPS :D

^Oh, lol. I find that slightly hard to believe that a deck like that could make top cut, because of Donphans popularity
 
RE: Canadian Nationals Report. ZPS :D

Just in case you were wondering i;m sure many people are any questions PM me.

RE: Canadian Nationals Report. ZPS :D

Masters had a ton of Magneboar, some Reshiboar, and DonChamp.

There was some action today though, with 2 top players from junior being DQ'd for fighting (physically)

Was cool to see lots of faces from Regionals, and meeting some new people from the forums.

Ugly cup should be fun!
