Hi, this tourney was held at New World Comics and Games on January 9th, and was a
Pokemon League tourney (Non-DCI Sanctioned, but we'll get there soon).

Dragonair: 3

As you can see, this deck's strong-points obviously aren't in fighting pokemon, but in
Colorless/Electric types. Dragonite is the big bad boy of the deck, which I use to take out
those pesky Hitmonchan decks, and Dragonair is the better half which destroys those
Mewtwo Barrier decks with Hyper Beam (and with Energy Removal).

This was a Pokemon League tourney with double elimination.

Round 1: vs. a "MulliganMew" or so he called. ^_^

This kid was playing a stall-deck which was easily destroyed with Energy Removal and
Dragonair. I had a good time beating him as he always bragged before hand about how
invincible his deck was, which lost in 3 turns. ^_^


Round 2: vs. a Wigglytuff Deck

This kid...er..guy had an annoying Wigglytuff/Gengar deck. I was able to get Hitmonlee out,
along with Electrode who I buzzapped onto Hitmonlee, and started kicking the 'tuffs and then
brought out a fully charged up Zapdos for the big boy, Gengar. He lost due to prizes.


Round 3: vs. a Haymaker

Yes, that's right, a Haymaker! I really made "Hay" out of this deck with my fav. (or one of
my favorites) card, Dragonite. I got BOTH of them out, and started destroying his
Hitmonchans, Electabuzzes (with 'lee), and Scythers (Dragonair with Hyper Beam). I
eventually beat him because of lack of basic, but we had to have a rematch because he
"claimed" that there was a Hitmonchan clearly on his bench. This newbie was destroyed by
the wrath of Homer's deck when I pounded his Hitmonchan to death with Dratini and my
potions. ^_^


Round 4: Finals, vs. a Fire/Electric deck

I disliked this kid's mom, mainly because she tryed to run off with my silver version, and
because she tryed to take something from my book. :P I lost because of Kangaskan, who
died after a few rounds of fetching, and my Dratini, who never got the chance to evolve
thanks to my eyes. Oh well.


Round 5: Loser's Bracket, against the same Wigglydeck

I beat him again, with Electabuzz against Gastlys(2). Pretty easy round.


Round 6: Loser's Bracket, against the same Haymaker

I had to go mid-match, but I really don't know where it would have gone from there since we
were both at a draw.

Now for SLOPS AND PROPS!

Props to Frank, the pokemon league gym leader, who gave my brother 3 movie promos to
complete his set.

Props to a kid (who I forgot his name) for coming back to play me in a non-tourney match,
and then talk about Silver and Gold again (Surprisingly, he was the only person there who
knew about as much as I do about Red/Blue)

Props to Frank again, for promising a 9-card Neo set to the person who get's to run the
tourney next week, which happened to be me. ^_^


Slops to a kid who "Insisted" that there was a mist stone.

Slops to Frank for forgetting to bring his stamp so I could earn my 1,500 some odd points
(He's missed it like 4 weeks in a row).

Slops to the kid who played me against a Haymaker, who accused me of cheating.


Well, that's it for now. I'll e-mail you guys in another week or so telling how I did. ^_^
