It was a really small tourney, only like 6 people showed up.

Energy:
Psychic 10

Double colorless 4
Strategy: The strategy, if you haven't noticed yet, is to completely wipe out
your opponents energy. If you count right, this deck is able to remove 20
energy's with out pokemon attacks, like gold duck or dragonair. You should
wait until they evolve there big poke's and energy removal them so they can't
attack. Plus, who puts devolution spray in there decks these days?
Match 1 vs. mono electric
This was a match against my stepbrother. I didn't know what kind of deck he
was playing until the tournament was over. He wins the coin toss. He has a
jungle pikachu out and I have a scyther. My first hand was pretty good. A
scyther, double colorless, Mr. mime, energy removal, and a fighting energy. I
had laid the double on scyther and passed. He laid a second energy on pikachu
and then laid a voltorb on his bench. He sparks me for 20. I pick up an
energy removal and lay the fighting on scyther. I energy removal the pikachu
and slash. He picks up an electabuzz and adds an energy. He passes. I pick up
a GOW. I lay down the mime just in case scyther is killed. I slash and kill
his pikachu. I eventually got a fully pumped hitmonchan and killed off his
electabuzz's. Then he brought out Zapdos. Darn it! Well, he had to knock out
an electrode to power it up. He got enough energy to do thunder. He
eventually killed hitmo but I had a powered mime. lol I kill his bird after a
couple of turns and win, he didn't have any basics to put down.
1-0
Match 2 vs. Rain Dance
I really wanted to test my skills against a Raindance deck, since they rely
on quick energy I knew I had to remove energy every chance I got. I started
with a crap hand. Two item finder, a super energy removal, two psychic
energy's, a hitmon and a lass. I sent Chan out with a psychic so I could
use
the super energy removal. He had a squirtle out and another one on his bench.
He laid an energy on the benched squirtle, since his other squirtle had an
energy on it. He bubbled, no paralyze though. I picked up a FIGHTING!
alright. I put it on Chan and jabbed for 20. This would be over in no time.
Uh oh, spoke too soon. He uses a breeder that he just picked up and evolves
his benched squirtle. Then uses raindance to get 3 water on Blastoise. Yikes.
I lay down my savor, Mr. Mime. I put an energy on him. He sacrificed his
squirtle so he could have time to put one more energy on, so now hydro pump
does 50. He comes out and kills Chan. I bring out mime and stall until he
starts to power up his laparas. Uh oh, It started to pick up near the middle.
I had 2 prizes and he had one prize left. He had another blastiose out and
had billed and oaked like crazy. I could tell that with a little bit of
strategy I could win by decking him. So, I used two energy removals on
blastiose, and SER his articuno and lapars. I energy retrievaled the energy I
lost to attach to Mr. Mime. I just kept gusting his Blastoise out and he
didn't have enough energy to retreat it. Plus he couldn't tough my Mime. In
the end, he decked himself and I won.
2-0
This was the second tournament I have won at Zany Brainy. I got 3 booster
packs, which I pulled a breeder, a ninetails and a SER.
