Casual Pokemon Player wanting to be Competitive 🤫🧏 | 108 Points this Season💪
Overall the mistakes I made were my own.
A mixture of heat and a newness to playing the deck led to lots of misplays.
But I wasn't fighting for my life every game like Ancient Box, I think I need to put more time into this. I think this is my play.
Also went 2-1 at the Pre-Release at the store 😅

RD 4: LWL vs Gardevoir
Played against a Mate again, assumed the match up was favourable and got too comfortable.
I lost the coin flip and bricked game three by having no way to set up a hands until turn 3.
Record 2-2 I have to play my last round to possibly be the only 3-2 to bubble in.

RD 3: WW vs Ancient Box
I didn't recognise the player but they were playing Ancient Box!
They prized Heavy Ball and Greninja game 1. It was good to see the consistency issues from an outside perspective and it made me lean more into Miraidon as my Regionals choice.
Record 2-1 (3-X-1 makes cut)

RD 2: LL vs Gouging Fire
Sada deck good deck, didn't know the list well enough to play into it.
But was against another mate who I talked to about Ancient Box with, he was still confident in the deck for Brisbane and we talked about different lines in various match ups.

Rd 1: WW vs Lugia
Plenty misplays but a favourable match up let me learn the deck.
Defiance band is a good card.
I was also playing against a friend from my regular locals which made the misplays hurt less and we helped eachother throughout allowing eachother to take stuff back.

Finished up as the 3rd Placing Master but 4th overall.
Not bad still need to refine the list. More gear would be ideal.

Almost a 2-0 but I was relying too much on finding certain cards. Opponent played really well.
Munki is amazing in the Matchup.🙊

RD 2 WLW VS Dragapult
2 turn donked them and they couldn't get into the game. Game 2 was closer and I misplayed meaning I couldn't get a knock when I needed. Game 3 finished pretty quickly and I played the match up better.

3rd/10 not a bad run for a list I threw together in an afternoon, Thanks to Oscar Madsen who built a going first version of this list with Rotom V, for the inspiration.
Excited to see how the deck evolves moving forward 😊😊

Opponent seemed very worried about making correct plays and was in their own head alot as they "should be able to beat Dragapult." But that's simply not the case.

Overall came 5th out of 21, the deck is still early stages so I'm happy with the results but definitely have some ideas as to where to take the deck next without Thorns.

How the Chien-Pao got to 2-0 idk but props to them, unfortunately for me Chien-Pao went exactly as expected. Still went to game 3 but it never felt particularly close.
