Round 1 Bert Vs ?????
I was playing an Electric-Grass Deck. He only had one basic pokemon to start:
a basic Zapdos. I drew 2 scythers, a Hitmonchan, a DCE, and some trainers.
I put out scyther, won the toss, and drew an energy. Put on the DCE. He
didn't have an Electric energy so it was my turn. I put on the energy,
slashed. he drew a nidoran (f) and got an energy on it before Zapdos died.
Evolved it to nidorina without enough energy so I won because he was out of
basic pokemon.
1-0
Round 2 Bert Vs ??????
I played some little kid who didn't even have a clue at all. He has cards
on
both sides of the covers so I got confused really fast. Plus he put in 2
dragonites without a dratini or dragonair. anyway he brought out a magicarp
and his only decent guy, a pinsir. Well, he didn't have much energy and those
guys are pretty weak. I made short work of him. an explanation really isn't
needed.
2-0
Round 3 Bert Vs ?????? ( I don't think i remembered anyone's name)
I played a Psychic Deck with lots of Mr. Mimes. I got a Lickitung and a
mysterious fossil (never evolved it though). Well, he only had a Mr. Mime and
(too bad for him) that was all he got. I quickly found out how great
Lickitung is against MR. Mime. He has a resistance to psychic, and his
buffest attack does 10 damage. Perfect against
Mr. Mime. Well, without any other guys it ended pretty fast. (it was too Bad
I heard he was really good. oh well^_^)
3-0
Round 4 Bert Vs ?????? ( I guess I'm not good with names)
I played a psychic-electric deck, although I mostly just saw the Dragonite
combo. Anyway I draw horrible hand a scyther, an Electabuzz, 2 Energy
removals, 2 plus powers and a fighting energy. Well, I put out Electabuzz
hoping I could draw an electric energy. it took me 4 turns to draw an
electric but on the way I drew 2 fighting so I powered scyther up. He put out
dratini and in 4 turns had a dragonite w/ 2 energys (would
have been 4 but
I used the ERs) well, I get the electric put it on and do thundershock. next
turn he ER's the electric, and so I'm stranded as he powers up dragonite. and
slams to kill all my guys. I swear he cheated, but given that I can't prove
it and saw him shuffle his deck, I'll get over it
3-1
At this point I would have gone to the playoffs but I had to head home so I
could go see the First Movie. You gotta have your priorities straight.
