Round 0: My friend and I drove an hr and a half to the store just to show up dreadfully early, so we got Duncan donuts, and went to check out stores in the area.

Round 0.5: We finally got into the store after an hour of random driving, and met dome PA players, who were cool. (I'm aweful with names so I can't remember anyone's from the event... fail on my part

) We also made a few trades that I desperately needed for my deck.

Round1: Vs NvS (I was really hoping to play this deck when I built my sideboard)
Game 1: I mull to four (great start on my end) and get run over very quickly.
Game 2: It was a back and forth but I last until turn six and tree spam for the win
Game 3: HE mulls to four but still starts to come back, its at 8 Brs a piece, I top deck shikas decision, search deidara [Fiery wrath\ for the win.
1-0

Round 2: VS Lightning Wind, (MY friend)
Game 1: I mull and miss my zero, I try to come back but tetragram is broken.
Game 2: He mulls to 4, I curve perfectly, and ino stewart says don't even try it the whole game. Then Sasuke Kakashi squad says not this time, and he scoops to game 3.
Game 3: Super close, but it goes to time and I'm up Brs.
2-0
Round 3: Vs the stockroom AKA the guy with the puppet deck
Game 1: I miss two drops and he rushes GG
Game 2: I try to wall up but his ninjas were huge and i hit no missions GG
2-1
Top 8: Vs PA player with fire earth deck(Correct me if I'm wrong
Game 1: he misplays and I pull out Sasuke Kakashi amd the third hokage out so game 2.
Game 2: Our boards look so similar it was scary, he woulda won in the long run so when time is called we go into sudden death.
Game 3 (Sudden Death!): I mull to 4, He had me beat, but he misplays and only attacks with two teams to win 1 br, then I attack with a boosted inner sakura to tie. It then went to deck count, and mulling saved me. Its really ironic because I won by deck count with a revitalize deck.

Top4: Vs nvs again
Game 1: He, I kid you not, Got tails with loopy fist every time he rolled, which was about 10 times.

Ino put in work, and won me lots of battles, on turn three he had 4 cards in hand, I clash him and he cant recover.
Game 2: he still can't get heads with loopy fist. It was phenomenally close! I had Deidara out, and he had hidan out, he put me to 8 brs his turn, and was at 6. I then played the 3rd Brokage and sacced him for two brs putting him at 8. On his turn he used Hidan's effect, we were both at nine, he swings with three teams, and I block without injuring hidan, so Deidara wins it for me next turn.

Top 2 Vs reitalize:
I was hoping to play this deck all tourney because I thought it would be a fun matchup, and it was!
Game 1: I had this thing goin today, where loopy fist just doesnt work, he gets tails everytime he flips but one. It was even, he was kinda winning by around t3, but I clash and pull into t3 Sakura, and kakashi on t4, and he scooped.
Game 2: his loopy fist is still to drunk to double, and Ino said not happening to most attacks, and I had an answer for everything that he did. I clash and wipe his hand, I warhawk next turn. Then play Obito and he scoops cuz he only has one card in hand...a jutsu but all his ninjas are under t3. SO I won

Pros: Winning my first Chunin, along with a foil set of 25 (the supers woula been nice though

)
Meeting the Awesome PA players, as well as seein the guys from all American Cards and comics again
Getting my third tree summoning, and susanoo for $25 and A foil Choji.
Getting the broken t3 Sakura and trading off Genjutsu -(I'm not too fond of it)
Discussing how broken jonins intervention is and which deck is better for it.
Oh and the free food they gave us for the ride home.Thanks Guys!
Finding out that ino is my MVP of the day.
Cons:
Driving it can't be helped
mulling just about every game I played
