WE'RE UNKILLABLE!!!
Hi Pojo!
I competed at a tournament last Saturday at The GAME KEEPER in North Olmsted
Ohio. I'd say there were about 30 kids participating to win the box of 1st
edition fossil packs including me. That day I decided to use this psychic deck
that I just finished and was really excited to try out. Here is my decklist
and an anatomy of how I did.
POKEMON:
4 Abra
4 Alakazam
2 Mewtwo (movie promo)
4 Mr.Mime
4 Chansey
2 Lickitung (dont laugh, they help!)
4 Tentacool (I'll explain later)
TRAINERS:
4 Pokemon Center
4 Scoop Up
4 Pokemon Breeder
2 Pokemon Trader
2 Gambler (so they deck and I dont)
ENERGY:
21 Psychic Energy
The point of this deck is to get
Alakazam, something to hold damage (Chansey),a Tentacool (to cowardice 20
damage away each turn) and a gambler (so when your decks are getting low and
you have a huge hand (you almost allways will) you can put it into your deck
making your opponent deck before you do.
Here is how the tournament went
for me. I entered the store with my friends Matt, Dennis, Sheamus, and Dan. We
signed up and the matches began.
*Round 1 vs. Dennis and
raindance deck:
I play Dennis all the time so I
was really confident because I allmost allways win. He was upset because he
practically knew he'd be a 1st round casualty. I drew a perfect hand (Mewtwo,
Abra, Alakazam, Chansey, Scoop up, and 2 Tentacool) I sat there doing nothing
until I had about 10 cards left in my deck and about 40 cards in my hand.
Neither 1 of us had gotten a prize yet. I started to worry that my gamblers
were in my prizes but I got 1 and replenished my deck. Dennis decked and I
won.
*Round 2 vs. Joey and
electric, mostly colorless deck (bad for most psychic decks but not for me)
Started with Abra, Breeder,
Alakazam and rest energy. He had a lone Zapdos. Flip, he went first. He
started loading up his Zapdos I confused rayed but to no sucess. Thank god I
drew a Chansey and a poke center and scoop up to fend him off until i got
another Alakazam and the cards to back him up in the end Joe decked and I was
victorious.
*Round 3 vs. Megan and Haymaker deck
I use a Hitmonchan Electabuzz
deck like hers but I threw in some Aerodactyls she didnt (Whew! If she used
them I'd have been toast.) I started with Lickitung and a Mr.Mime on my bench.
I went first and started tongue wrapping her Electabuzz. That sucker
lasted almost 10 turns before she killed it, giving me the time to build up
and get 2 Alakazams and 3 Tentacools. The battle was smoothe sailing
from there her quick hitters were no match for my Alakazam. This was the first
match I won by getting all my prizes! Record 3-0 putting me in the finals.
*FINALS VS. MATT AND ANOTHER RAINDANCE
It seems that ever since I
introduced the raindance deck around here, a good # of players use them. That
irritates me especially because one night Matt slept over and copied my secret
Raindance deck down while I was sleeping. He was allways my #1 rival but my #1
friend also. This would be a tough match. Flip heads in his favor. He got a
Squirtle and a Magikarp. I got a Chansey, Mewtwo, and Mr.Mime. He bubbled my
Chansey. I put energy on Mime. as usual 2nd turn Blastoise, Rain Dance and
Oak. Then More dancing and Gyrados. Hit Chansey for 60. I scooped up Chansey,
energyed Mime and sent him out. He never killed that Mr. Mime for he took the
Lapras' out. I laughed and said "I told you they were good!" As
usual he was about to deck and conceded. I won!
Well that's how my deck shaped
up in its 1st tourney. I think this deck is well worth taking the time to make
and perfect. Good luck, I hope this deck works as good for you as it does for
me.
