Not many changes here, just
trying out Ghastly, Free Retreat, good Mr. Mime Slayer, resist fighting, and
cheap attacks. Just an out of the blue guy to try in my deck that's
all...
The apprentice tournament took 3 rounds, I'm
not sure what format AerisVII is using, but I'll just say what happened since
that is what is important, how did I do. So with further or do here are
the 3 rounds I played...
Round 1-VS Shinji_ikari with a Stall Deck
I'm not actually sure if his deck was a
stall deck or not since he never did get Alakazam out, but I did see an Abra
and Kadabra in a fun game we played earlier. This guy is just annoying
and I didn't like him at all, but I kept my cool and played the game through.
It was a looong game, I got into some energy problems only taking out to of
his guys while he does the same. But lucky for me he has all his Pokemon
played down, 2 Scyther, 2 Mr. Mime and 2 Mewtwo, so I promote the Mr. Mime and
stall since his deck is about 3 cards lower then mine. I just meditate
here and there and soon enough all his Pokemon are damaged until Mr. Mime will
only take one meditate to kill. I leave it at that and let the game go
on for a safe deck win, I Fuji a Scyther and Magmar with energies galore on
them to insure my Victory. This guy is actually chatting and not paying
much attention to the game too, so that's just annoying he also thinks he is
gonna come down on me like the force of nature or something stupid. Well I
beat him with a deck win.
Record: 1-0
Round 2-VS Randomaxxes with a Grass/Fighting
Match was no problem, he got a Kangaskhan
out and Comet Punched early only doing 20 though, I quickly kill him off along
with another one. He now only has Grass for the time being, Magmar eats
up and Oddish and cripples several Scythers, Mr. Mime finishes off a few
Pokemon for some quick prizes. He tries to get Hitmonchan rolling but
Scyther ate him up. Overall the match was lock, load and blow his
Pokemon sky high, the old weakness and resistance game prevailed this time and
it only made this match easier.
Record: 2-0
Round 3 presumingly the Final Round-VS
Randomaxxes with a Grass/Fighting
Again huh? I start with one Scyther and him
a Scyther and Oddish, I go first and play an energy, he goes and plays a Grass
energy and Sword dances. Not wanting to have a second turn kill on me I
do the only thing I can do, Gust out a Hitmonchan he just played and Slash it,
he goes and powers his Scyther up. He had no DCE! or a Pluspower for
that matter, oh well I go play down a Buzz power it and Slash+PP and get an
early prize. He sends out Scyther and slashes me, now I S.E.R. him and
the game is turned completely for me, I slash down his Scyther, Oddish and
Magmar hits the board. Magmar begins his massacre and tears through
Oddish, and Venonat, he annoyed me with few good Stun Spore Flips, but he
eventually flipped tails and Magmar finished Oddish up. I have one prize
now and he has bench with nearly everyone hurt, he sends out Scyther and
slashes Magmar, for the kill. I send out Mime, gust out a oddish with 20
damage on it and meditate for the victory.
Well the tourney ended there, and I won it!
My first apprentice tourney, but the funny thing is AerisVII said I was
undefeated, but I did lost in one round against a guy named Peter, I guess it
didn't count or it was a mix up. Oh well it wasn't for prizes so who
cares right?
PROPS to AerisVII for hosting my first
tourney.
PROPS to Randomaxxes for coming 2nd I
believe he did very good for his deck.
SLOPS to My first opponent for being so
annoying
ENCORE!
As I promised I would tell you what happened
at Deja Vu...
Deja Vu Games
Saturday, November 27, 1999
Time: 2:00PM
Single Elim.
Pokemon Constructed
12 Participants
Well you know the deck I use, it is not the
same as the one from above but close so I'm not gonna bother Copying and
Pasting, fingers are sorta tired here.
Well here's the report...
Round 1-VS Alex K. with Haymaker
Alex is playing a Haymaker with Aero., so it
is pretty much useless to my deck, I pretty much have this game, he can't find
his energy and when he does I remove. I got two quick kills on his Aero.
he evolved with my friend Scyther, He is too deep in the hole to dig out and
I'm dumping sand on him now so he can't recover and falls deeper into a
depression and I win.
Record: 1:0
Point: 3
Round 2-VS ??? ?. with Psychic
This match went quick and I didn't catch his
name, he started with Abra and me a Buzz, I go and shock him for 10 he returns
the favor with his own shock and no paralyze. I go and win with the
final blow a Thunderpunch into Abra's big head.
Record: 2-0
Point 6
Round 3-VS Mike. S with Haymaker Potpourri
Man, I hate playing this guy, although I
usually win, this week I don't I'm forced to Oak and Bill more then
normal and they don't help me with my current position, I'm behind by two
prizes, he has 1 and I have 3. I fell behind early and didn't catch up,
I play it out and he gets his last prize with Gust of Win and kills my Magmar.
Record: 2-1
Point 6
Round 4-VS Chris F. with Fire/Water
Well I'm not going into any detail here, I
destroyed him big time, no deck from the Big 3 is gonna give my deck problems.
I'm pretty shocked with my horrible loss against Mike so I'll play without
mercy. Electabuzz gets rid of his Crabbiest and Kinglers and that is the
match, I saw one fire Pokemon, Magmar, but it fell quickly and I went back to
my routine killing off pesky water pokemon. He managed to kill my two
Electabuzz in the process of me killing 5 of his though. I finish the
game with a Ditto Crabhammering his Kingler.
Record: 3-1
Point 9
Round 5-Vs Erik B.
He cheats mega I must say, 62 card
deck, and plays his turn structure wrong and takes his turn if he thinks I'm
nearly finish. I gotta teach him a thing or two, I get 5 quick prizes
with Electabuzz and Magmar and I'm serious. I E.R. and S.E.R. him a lot
on my last prize he starts catching up getting to two prizes left. We
are in a dead lock but there's 30 sec left and he is taking his time on his
turn and thinks of a way to get a prize to tie the game. He cant and I
win at 20 Min.
Record: 4-1
Point: 12
Well that was it, the tourney was close with
4 people with exact same points, but Mike and one of the store employees had a
better tiebreaker so they won instead not to worry there is always next
week...
PROPS to Well nothing, it was a pretty bad
tourney for me.
PROPS to But, I had a fun time playing fun
games with the Store Owner and Alex.
SLOPS to Erik B. for cheating a lot or so it
seemed to me
SLOPS to Some people who complained about
stolen cards, then there parents came in telling the Deja Vu they didn't care
(Should
they?) and some
other dumb stuff
Well that was that for this extra long
report, sorry for my non-details but I don't got that much time anymore to
write these up they drain a lot from me...
Bye, Bye
