I don't think I have had a bad pairing, just bad draws and bad decks...

My worst pairing; a mirror. That guy sure did know how to play the same deck I was playing.

He managed to use your Gabriel against you while it was still your turn. Freaky.

Plus when you tried to target his character it targeted yours. :)

One of mine was when I was at nats this year and it was my first time playing type-2 2-player in a tourney and it was with a deck somebody gave me to make it even. And I ended up going against Gabe. Great game...it was close. I made a noob move. If i'd had caught that, it'd had been closer...or I might have even won i think...but I had fun XD

This past weekend, Districts tournament. Gabe was visiting with his Disciples deck. He ended up sweeping all 4 events, lol.

Hey man, I won T1 multi, and got second in T1 2p only because of really terrible draws and the 2-liner in the second game (against Gabe):P ,still, every category in that tournament was awesome (except T2, which I did not play)! I'd have to say that was the most times I've seen SoG discarded with the deck discard LS though :laugh: So Gabe only won 3 of 4 events, and got 2nd in multi. Lol cut a fellow Wisconsinite some slack man!
You're right, I forgot he didn't get first in multiplayer. My bad >_<

Hey,

"I have no chance of winning" isn't really my style.  But I have had a few "are you kidding me?" pairings over the years.  A few that come to mind...

T1-2P Nationals 2009.  After three rounds I was 1-2 and got paired with Chris Bany in the next round.
T1-2P Nationals 2008.  After six rounds I was 3-3 and got paired with Gil Kimmons (4 time national champion).  After losing that game and falling to 3-4 I got paired with Daniel Whitten (2 time national champion) in the next round.
T2-2P Nationals 2002.  In the 5 rounds of T2-2P I managed to play Bryon Hake, Chris Bany and Mike Berkenpas.  The three of them finished the tournament 1st, 2nd, and 4th.
T1-MP Nationals 2004.  Second to last round I was part of a table consisting of Justin Alstad, Roy Cannaday, Jeremiah Bryant, and Myself.

Tschow,

Tim "Sir Nobody" Maly

I remember I went to a district in Alabama and i was playing type 2 against a kid who was about 8 or 7. He had a sadducees banding defence and i completely slaughtered him. He started crying and talking about how bad he was and his, and me, and some others had to comfort him to make him feel better. I never felt so horrible.

also NATS Kansas City I think i played a guy from NC? with Sin in the Camp and while i was combo-ing off I was telling him how sorry I was and that it was the decks fault and he flipped and made a scene about how he was never going to play redemption again. Bryon Hake came over and tried to console him and tell him that it wasnt over and he could still win- that all he had to do was get a good dom. "I DONT HAVE ANY" "HE TOOK THEM ALL" and then he quit. for some reason i didnt feel so bad. oh well.

On a side note it took me years to get over playing against Xerosplash...everytime we played i got so nervous and never could keep my train of thought and make horrible mistakes.
This is the way Lackey gave it to me. All hail the power of Lackey!

interesting. I know I played you first round, and I'm from NC (region), and you pulled the combo off against me, and I knew it was over...but I don't remember making a scene. or quitting. I was uber upset about it. I had never heard of anything that incredible at the time.
on a side note, I had to play Eric Largent last round of T2-2P (and t2 Multi...)
what great ways to start and end.

I remember that game...that was the first year of my "speed freak" deck and while Jeremiah knew what was coming because he played online quite a bit, Roy blocked my small Hero with an immune Nero...I think I drew most of my deck that turn.  :P

When I was done, Jeremiah turns to Roy and says "You got freaked"  :D
