Hey Scott,
I know the name is kinda corny, but
oh well. This will be the
first deck I will use in a tourny besides my Raindance 2000...BC. I hope
this will finally help me win a tourny. This tourny was at:
Zany Brainy
Northridge, CA
91325
And with no further ?Adieux? I present HayPourri....
4 Fossil Magmar (I looove smog)
4 Scyther
4 Hitmonchan
4 Electabuzz
8 Fire Energies
10 Fighting Energies
8 Lightning Energies
2 Double Colorless Energies
3 Energy Removals
3 Plus Powers
2 Pokemon Traders
2 Mr. Fuji
2 Bill
2 Professor Oaks
2 Gust of Wind
Some might think too many colors, but
that's their opinion. Some
might think I should have more SER's, but I needed some space for other
trainers. There were only 11 people here (probably because it wasn't FREE
this time). Single Elimination.
Round 1: Me vs John T. Grass Deck (Play by Play:)
I start with Scyther up front,
Hitmonchan, 2 Fire, 2 Fighting, and
1 Lightning. He starts with Pinsir. I go first. I draw a Fire
Energy, I
retreat Scyther and lay an energy on Hitmonchan and Jab. Pinsir down to
40. He draws a card and lays a Grass energy on Pinsir. My turn. I
draw a
Pokemon Trader, lay a Fire energy on Scyther and Jab. Pinsir down to 20.
He draws a card and lays down a Nidoran Male. Lays a Grass energy on
Pinsir and Irongrip and Heads. Hitmonchan down to 50 and paralyzed.
I
draw a Magmar, lay him down and lay a Fire Energy on him. His turn.
He
draws a card and lays a Grass on Nidoran Male. Irongrip, but tails.
Hitmonchan down to 30. I draw a Bill. I use Bill and get a Lightning
energy and a Professor Oak. I lay a Fire on Magmar and Jab to KO Pinsir.
I get a Pokemon Trader. He sends out Nidoran Male, but no bench. He
draws
a card. Horn Hazard, and.....HEADS! Hitmonchan is KOed. I send
out my
Magmar. I draw a Energy Removal, but no use. Smog and Heads.
Nidoran
Male down to 10 (Due to Poison:). He draws a card. Horn Hazard and
Heads,
but Nidoran is dead Due to Poison again. Did I tell you I looove Smog?
Record: 1-0
Round 2: Me vs Mark H. ?Colorless Deck? (Play by Play again)
I'm not sure what kind of deck he has
because the game only lasted
four turns. He starts with Clefairy. I start with Electabuzz, Energy
Removal, Mr. Fuji, 2 Fire Energy, 1 Lightning, and 1 Double Colorless. He
starts with Clefairy. He goes first. He draws a card, lays a double
colorless on Clefairy. My turn. I lay a Lightning Energy on
Electabuzz
and Thundershock, but tails. Clefairy down to 30. He draws a card,
lays a
Fire energy on Clefairy, and Metronomes my Thundershock (to stall)
and....TAILS!! I draw a Plus Power, lay my Fire energy on Electabuzz, and
Thunderpunch for the victory. Coin Flip was Heads.
Record: 2-0
Round 3: I GET A BYE!
Round 4: Me vs Edward L. with Raindance (No Play by Play :( )
A normal Haymaker would have no
trouble against Raindance, but
HayPourri will take a little strategy to win. I start with Magmar of ALL
PEOPLE, 2 Fighting Energy, a Pokemon Trader, a Plus Power, a Gust of Wind,
and 1 Fire Energy. He starts with Squirtle up front and The Almighty
Magikarp on the Bench. I go First. I draw a Lightning energy, lay a
Fire
Energy on Magmar, Gust of Wind for Magikarp and Smokescreen. Magikarp down
to 20. He draws a card, but lays no energy. He says it's my turn so
I
draw a Hitmonchan, retreat my Magmar, lay a Fighting on Hitmonchan and Jab
to KO Magikarp. My Prize is another Plus Power. Maybe the game won't
take
so long after all. He uses Gust of Wind for Magmar, lays a Water Energy on
Squirtle and Bubbles. He keeps on Bubbling and getting heads with Squirtle
until he KOs my Magmar. Meanwhile all I get is a Scyther and Hitmonchan is
pumped up. He already has a pumped Gyarados that just evolved from another
on Magikarp on the bench. I pull out my Scyther, which already has 3
Energies on it, lay a Plus Power down and KOs Squirtle. He pulls out
Gyarados and he Dragon Rages (He must have not been thinking, bubblebeam
would have been a better choice). Scyther down to 20. I draw an
Energy
Removal and use it on Gyarados. Slash and Gyarados is down to 60. He
draws a card and lays a Water Energy on Gyarados. Dragon Rage and Scyther
is dead. Hitmonchan up. I draw an Electabuzz (a little late:).
Hitmonchan Special Punches and KOs Gyarados for the Victory. Finally I WIN
A TOURNY!!
Record: 3-0
I only get $10 due to lack of participants:(. I buy 3 Fossil boosters and
get a Kabutops, Lapras, and a Holo Muk. I will probably use this deck
again next week because I am getting a little money hungry :).
Thank you for your time.
