Yo whats up? I just wanted to try this new deck. I know I got the idea
from R. Troung, but I just made a few adjustments. Well anyway, this
deck didn't do bad at all. The prizes were 12 boosters for first and 6
boosters for second. They were your choice. Now, here's the deck:

Pokemon: 16
3 Electabuzz
3 Fossil Magmar
3 Jigglypuff
2 Wigglytuff
2 Mr. Mime
2 Scyther
1 Ditto

Trainers: 21
3 Bill
3 Gust of Wind
3 Energy Retieval
3 Super Energy Removal
2 Energy Removal
2 Professor Oak
2 Item Finder
1 Computer Search
1 Scoop Up
1 Pokemon Trader

Energy: 23
7 Lightning
7 Fire
5 Psychic
4 Double Colorless

Ok here's the strategy: Deal damage fast with low energy requirements
and the most important part of the deck: DO THE WAVE!!!!! Get out
Wigglytuff as fast as you can. Don't use the Psy Energies on anyone but
Mr. Mime unless if you absolutly have to. Try to paralize, poison, or
put your oppenent to sleep if you have to. Pretty much do what you can
and keep those SER's in with Item Finder. Now heres the report. Please
forgive me because I have bad memory (Not really, I just don't remember
every single turn) of remembering the tourney. Now here's the Report:

Round 1: Me against John with an old school Potpouri

His deck was just like Scott's with the Ponyta and Kangaskhan with a few
tweaks. He was cool and was also my friend. He flipped. I called a tails
(That is what I always call) and the flip was tails. I went first. I got
a bad hand with a Jigglypuff, a DCE, 2 Psy, a Fire, and a Prof. Oak. He
had Scyther, Ponyta, and Electabuzz. I drew another Jiggly! I added a
fire energy and put him to sleep. He flipped a tails and Scyther was
still asleep. He had drew a Hitmonchan I guess since he put it on the
bench. He put a Fighting energy on Hitmonchan and flipped a tails again.
My turn. Got another SER!!! Man! I added a Psy energy on active Jiggly
and Pounded. He added another energy on Chan and Scyther was still
asleep! I drew a Scyther! I put him down, laid a Psy energy on Scyther,
SERed Hitmonchan from Jiggly, retreated for Scyther and his turn. He got
mad because he didn't have any more fighting energies in his hand so he
put a Psy energy on Hitmonchan and after his turn he finally wakes up. I
get some energy and lay DCE on Scyther and slash. He retreats for
Electabuzz and Thundershocks for no paralize. I lay down another
Scyther, lay down another DCE down on Jiggly, and than slash. He lays
down a lightning energy on Electabuzz and thunder punch. he takes 10. I
draw Electabuzz kill his Buzz. Prize - Bill. Can't do anything because
all of his energies are at the bottom (Except for 2 fighting energy that
I blew away with my SER). I end up winning the match. My Record: 1-0

Round 2: Me against A.J. with a Mew deck

I had to play my friend A.J. with his Mews. He had 1 Japanese Mew and 3
American Promos. I won the flip (Like always). I draw a really good
hand: 1 Buzz, 2 Lighting Energy, 1 Mr. Mime, 2 Psy Energies, 1 Professor
Oak. I put up Mime and Buzz on bench and he puts up Mew with 2 other
Mews on bench (His poor Japanese Mew was still in his deck) and a
Dratini. I drew a DCE and put a Lightning Energy on Mime (Just so he
can't blow away a Psy energy). He put down a Psy energy and Psywaved for
20. I put down a Psy Energy and meditated for 20. I ended up killing up
2 Mews until he finally got the ER and killed me. By that time, he was
pretty much screwed up from here because I put in Jigglypuff and put
down Scyther (I had Wiggly but he had Mime on bench so I didn't want to
chance it). From there on, I kept on killing everybody in sight with
Jiggly (He never got Dragonair. Dragonair was in his prizes and the next
draw). My Record: 2-0

Round 3: Me against Cassey with a Mewtwo/Mr. Mime/Mew
Mulligan/Stall/De-evolving deck

I know she was just kidding with this deck because I talked to her
before and she said she would play a messed up Mewtwo, Mew, Mr. Mime
deck. I won the flip once again (Trust me, call tails, it's the best
call). I got Mr. Mime and she got a Mewtwo. I had to draw 4 cards before
she got a hand with a basic. She somehow did bad with only the Mewtwo. I
got my Energy Removal. You know what happened. My Record: 3-0

Semi-Finals: Me against Rachel (my Girl Friend) with my Moltres Wildfire
deck (Which I will play tomarrow)

Oh crap. This deck is one of my faves and I will play it tomarrow. It
just rules! Luckily she started with Fossil Magmar and Ditto and not
with Moltres. I got Electabuzz, Magmar, and Jiggly. She called tails and
it was heads (My streak of winning coinflips is somewhere around 30) so
I won. I started with my fav Buzz and she started with Ditto. To bad I
had Thundershocked Ditto with paralize. Lay energy on Magmar. My turn. I
Thunderpunch and kill it with a heads. She had drew a..........
Moltres!!! Oh crap!!! I had to gust it in right away because it can do
alot fast. I ended up killing it 2nd turn but not after discarding my
Computer Search and an Item Finder. I didn't want to bill but I had to.
I got Scyther and DCE. I lay down fire energy on Scyther and next turn
retreat for Scyther and put down DCE and Slash his Lickitung. She
switches for Magmar and I take 20. That what I was wanting her to do. I
retreat for Jiggly and pound. Next turn, She gets Moltres. Unfortunally,
she got a potion and my Wigglytuff scheem didn't work. She worked on
Moltres and Dove Bombed mostly everbody except for Mime. Mime took care
of Moltres but not before a 12 card Wildfire. From there on Mime was in
trouble with fossil Magmar. Luckily Buzz came back in and saved the day.
I had no cards in my draw pile with 1 prize and she had 16 cards left
with 1 prize. I was getting nervous. Then I saw an opening. I had to
poison her. I used magmar to poison her damaged Charmander. I love these
last move win or lose attacks. I always flip the coin high and it takes
forever for it to hit the table. It spins and it lands flat on heads! It
was game and I went to the finals. My Record: 4-0

Finals: Me against Jason with a pretty interesting Raindance

Jason had a nice Raindance. It had 2 Blastoise, 2 Dewgong, 2 Seaking, 2
Lapras, and 2 Articuno along with the evolutions. Unfortunatly he
started with 2 Goldeen and a Squirtle and I had Elecabuzz. You know what
happened. Tournament won! My Record: 5-0

The Tourney was really fun. There were 18 boosters in all. For every 2
boosters I got, Jason got 1. I ended up picking 7 basics, 4 jungle, 1
fossil. I gave the Fossil, 1 Jungle, and 2 basic to Rachel. She got
Electabuzz and Ninetales out of Basic, Holo Vileplume, and Holo
Areodactyl. I on the other hand got 2 Venusaurs (Funny), a SER,
Electabuzz, and Charizard!!! Out of the Jungle I got a non-holo Jolteon
and a Holo Scyther. Now, since everybody do these, it's time for Props
and Slops!!!
