Goin to Worlds!

So after about 2 weeks of contemplating going and letting prices go up, I finally did all the math and whatnot and came to the conclusion I'm able to go to worlds! I have to sell a few cards and collect some money that people owe me, but I'll be able to afford going. Planning on flying out and probably driving back depending on how much I make at work between now and then. If I have some extra money it might be better to fly back rather than suffer the 16 hour drive, on the plus side, they might stay a night in vegas :D. Anyway, it'll be Me, Adrian, Ian, Bret, and Daniel going since others have either work stuff or money issues. Hopefully all goes well at the grinders, I'm going up to the springs saturday afternoon to do some playtesting and get together with the springs peeps.

CtoC 1

Today was the start of the Colorado Tournament of Champions and it was held at Val Hallas. The format was Modified, Mutant decks. We figured everyone would be playing either psychic or fighting mainly because the draw power of Uxie and Claydol. Got there fairly early and waiting for people to show up...I guess no one had interest in it as there were only about 10 people total that showed up. Anyway I decided to play shuppet and it was amusing. Round 1 I played Ann and she was playing colorless with porygon and garchomp. I kept the shuppet going and was able to win. Round 2 I played Jaime....this game was too funny....I had to go first of the game and started with Crobat G and Unown Q, I passed. He goes, plays speed stadium and cyrus for a roseannes, then used Zangoose's attack to bring up my unown q. My turn.....well lets say all he was doing for about 5 minutes was cutting my deck haha. I went through all but 13 cards in my deck on that lone turn and K.O. his zangoose...he was mad lol. Round 3 I played roberto....Had the worst start ever, and he got a gengar donk lol. Oh well we both got our invites to the final tournament and I got the blue/gold dice. All is well.
